?Chapter 1071:


    As Judd obediently took a sip, Christina smiled with sly delight, her eyes narrowing like a cat that had cornered its prey. Tonight, she would see to it that they all faced a fate worse than death.


    “Why hesitate? Am I not presentable enough for your friends?” Christina asked, her voice flowing like honey—soft, tempting, and impossible to resist.


    The sound of her words sent a tremor through Judd’s chest, his heart fluttering as his thoughts turned hazy. Her tone carried a quiet im, as if she belonged only to him, untouchable by anyone else.


    “How could that ever be?” Judd replied quickly, reaching for her hand, but she dodged with effortless grace.


    “You’re insufferable. Why are you always in such a hurry?” Christina teased, her yful tone and demeanor strikingly different from the woman she usually showed to the world.


    At first, Judd felt a sting of irritation at her evasion, but that fleeting annoyance melted instantly beneath the spell of her enchanting, velvety voice. Catching her flirtatious gaze, he obediently took the winess she passed to him.


    The waiting gnawed at Judd, unbearable—he wanted nothing more than to whisk her away from the wedding and lose himself in a night of reckless indulgence. Yet, if this beauty before him wished to draw things out, he would grit his teeth and y the part of a gentleman a little longer.


    “Miss Jones, please,” Judd said, exaggerating the politeness of his gesture as if extending a courtly invitation.


    He remained oblivious to the fact that, trailing behind Christina, his presence seemed reduced to that of a servant in the wake of hermanding poise.


    Christina’s lips curled ever so slightly, her eyes smiling but edged with frost as they flicked toward Judd’s rowdy cronies. None of them would escape their miserable fates.


    Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Christina tossed Judd’s cronies a casual wink before lowering her gaze, veiling her expression with a coy, delicate smile. To those men, she appeared impossibly graceful and alluring—the perfect blend of temptation and innocence, a dazzling rarity. Every subtle gesture of hers tugged at their hearts, and regret stabbed through them as they remembered the bet. If only they had known she could be so enticing, so easy to charm, they would never have let Judd approach her first. Now victory belonged to Judd—he had won the beauty for a night and, along with her, the promise of lucrative projects. How enviable indeed.

    Earlier, when Judd’s cronies had spotted her alone, she had seemed distant, untouchable, and proud, yet in the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a vision of seduction. What made her all the more captivating was the natural elegance she carried, veiled in mystery, which only deepened theyers of her allure. She was the perfect fusion of sultry temptation and innocent charm, abination that made her utterly irresistible.


    Judd puffed up with pride as he presented Christina to hispanions. “This is Miss Jones,” he dered smoothly.


    He clung to his role of the polished gentleman, though every nerve in him burned with the desire to snake his arm around her waist.<fne163> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? Find_Novel(.</fne163>
