Louis Lawrence still didn’t respond.

Xylia Xandrell was getting anxious.

"Let’s go back to that junction, we might have chased in the wrong direction." Xylia said hastily.

This time, Louis reacted, glanced at her sideways, then suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car stopped by the roadside.

Xylia was thrown around, her face turned pale, her heart pounding with fear.

Once she calmed down, she turned her head to look at Louis.

She saw the man clutching a cigarette between his lips, holding a lighter in his hand.

The sleek black lighter twirled between his fingers, but he showed no intention of lighting it.

"Who is the person you want to chase?" A cold voice echoed in the cramped space of the car.

Xylia bit her lip tightly. After a while, she finally spoke with difficulty, "That man just now."

"Oh?" Louis raised an eyebrow.

Then he lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a drag, and turned his head, exhaling the choking smoke towards Xylia, his lips curling with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Do you know who that man is?"

Xylia coughed a few times from the smoke, backing away quickly; she didn’t like the smell of smoke.

Louis’ frivolous action annoyed her even more, and she turned her head away.

"It’s none of your business."

"If it doesn’t concern me, then why should I help you chase after him?" Louis laughed even more.

His handsome face was obscured by the smoke, making him even more alluring.

But Xylia couldn’t muster any fondness for him; she found Louis too frivolous.

"Just consider it a favor. That person is really important to me."

Louis paused his hand holding the cigarette, then turned his gaze towards Xylia, his deep, fox-like eyes staring into hers.

"How important?"

Xylia’s eyes darkened, a faint pain spreading in her heart.

How important?

Very important, extremely important...

"Very important." Xylia’s gaze was filled with an unignorable seriousness as she spoke to Louis.

Louis stared at Xylia, momentarily lost in thought.

Only when the cigarette butt burned his finger did he come back to his senses.

He rolled down the car window and threw the cigarette butt out.

At the same time, the smoke in the car dissipated.

"Very important..."

He murmured, then suddenly started to laugh, a mocking laugh.

"He’s so important to you, does Bella Green know?"

Xylia was stunned, a bit slow to react, but then recalled the scene just now.

When the man came out of the house, he was holding Bella Green...

Her breath suddenly quickened, her pupils contracting violently. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Seeing her reaction, the curve of Louis’ lips grew even more malevolent.

"That was Bella Green’s boyfriend, Mason Bennett. So, is he really important to you?"

These words fell like a shocking slap on Xylia’s ears, as if hitting her hard across the face.

Mason Bennett, Mason Bennett...

So that was Mason Bennett...

Turns out her Ah Jiu is named Mason Bennett?

What a beautiful name.

But why is he Bella Green’s boyfriend?

Xylia bit her lip until it started bleeding, yet she didn’t seem to notice the pain, continuing to bite hard.

Seeing the red staining the girl’s white teeth, Louis’ eyes narrowed tightly.

He suddenly raised his hand and forcefully pinched her jaw, his voice gaining a few degrees of weight, "Let go."

Hearing his words, Xylia came back to her senses, looked at Louis, and not only didn’t lessen her grip, she opened her mouth and fiercely bit down on Louis’ finger, her strength increasing continuously.

The sharp pain made Louis’ brow twitch slightly, but he didn’t withdraw his fingers, just letting her bite.

Xylia felt she might be going crazy; she didn’t let go, instead biting down harder and harder.
