Joseph''s face fell when he heard her rejection, and his tone sounded insistent. "I think you''ve misunderstood my intentions. I don''t mean that kind of friendship."


    Roxanne frowned in confusion, not understanding what he meant.


    Joseph smirked mysteriously. "One night should be enough for us to get to know each other."


    That sentence had clearly disyed his intentions.


    Roxanne was momentarily stunned, but she quickly realized what he was saying. Her expression turned frosty. "I''m not interested. Please stop disturbing me. I want to be alone for a while." Joseph scowled at her second rejection.


    Unfortunately, there were too many people at the banquet. Thus, he could not do anything to her. Instead, he straightened his body unhappily and lifted his winess toward her. With a threatening tone, he said, "If that''s the case, surely you won''t refuse this toast, right?"


    Roxanne appeared hesitant.


    Joseph was obviously a notorious yboy, and she did not know if he would pull any tricks on her.


    Sensing her concern, Joseph mocked, "Oh, you can rx. There are so many people here. I won''t do anything to you. I''m not the kind who''ll force women into doing things, anyway."


    Roxanne frowned, but still clinked her ss with his, taking a sip out of politeness.


    Joseph shot her a dangerous nce and returned to the crowd.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    When she saw him leaving, Roxanne secretly sighed with relief.


    . Saw


    As soon as Joseph returned to the crowd, a group of yboys surrounded him, teasing, "Aw.


    There are still women who don''t fall for Mr. Cadman''s flirts, eh? Who is that woman? Why is she so arrogant?"


    Joseph shot the man a re.


    Someone reminded, "I heard she came with that Mr. Farwell of Horington. We''d better not mess with her."


    As soon as the speaker finished his sentence, Joseph smacked the former''s head. "Mr. Farwell is already engaged. Why would hee with this woman? Besides, it means nothing even if theye together Mr. Ziegler''s the one who brought her here to socialize with the guests. That''s enough to prove that she has nothing special with Mr. Farwell.”


    SAREE


    Hearing that, the person who spoke up hesitated but nodded in agreement.


    TREET


    "What are you nning to do then? She has ignored you," someone asked.


    S


    Joseph downed his drink and said fiercely, "She''d better not leave this banquet hall. I, Joseph Cadman, never let my target run away just like that." The others bobbed their heads in agreement.


    Meanwhile, Roxanne was totally unaware of the danger she was about to face.


    She had too much to drink earlier while socializing with Jasper. After sitting down for a while, she got to her feet, fecling the need to go to the washroom


    Oom.


    Seeing her leave the banquet hall, Joseph and the other yboys sneakily followed her.


    Roxanne noticed nothing and entered the washroom.


    When she stepped out of the facility, she was blocked by a few yboys at the washroom''s entrance.


    Roxanne was slightly taken aback by the situation.


    "What a coincidence, Ms. Jarvis." Joseph smiled casually while striding toward her.


    Roxanne frowned and eyed them warily, warning, "Mr. Cadman, I''m Mr. Ziegler''s guest. Please watch your actions."


    Joseph raised his brow casually. "I know, but so what? Mr. Ziegler''s not with you now. I dare you to get him over. I''ll leave right away if he shows up." Naturally, Roxanne could not do so. She could only step backward silently, trying to maintain a safe distance between them.
