The commotion upstairs was so loud that those shopping assistants downstairs paled.

The lobby manager trembled at the sight of the fleeing girl. Something really bad must have happened!

The door was suddenly pushed open, and he forced the words out of his mouth, "Block booking today..."

Before he could finish his speech, his legs felt weak, and he knelt on the floor, "M... Mr. Reid, our humble store is honored by your presence. Are... are you here to pick up Miss Pate?"

Victor Reid was the eldest son and second child of the Reid family. The outsiders called him Mr. Reid respectfully.

True, the man was Victor, the successor of the Reid family!

"Mm."

At the door, the man in a black suit slowly opened his mouth. His cold voice even froze the air.

From a strong storm and the darkness, he got in unhurriedly. People's fear grew with his every step.

Under the warm light, his stunning face looked emotionless yet intimidating.

Somehow, there was an attractive mole below his slanted deep eye. It neutralized his coldness and even enhanced his charm.

Whenever he blinked, compelling tenderness was given off.

Even so, everyone in Cloud Sea City knew how dangerous this man was!

"Miss Pate... might be in trouble, and... and the troublemaker is a distinguished guest of BRIDE..." The lobby manager trembled and said with difficulty.

Victor's eyes went dim, and the manager couldn't utter another sound out of fear.

Theo Jacobs, who stood next to Victor, waved his hand as a signal for the bodyguards to go up and check.

A few minutes later, a petite figure slid down the stair railing.

On her way out, Judith saw a figure standing at the staircase, "Old fella, watch out!"

Victor stiffened and looked over with his deep icy eyes.

As soon as she met his eyes, her mind went blank. She was carried away by his stunning appearance.

By the time when she came back to her senses, her body was falling into his arms.

Judith narrowed her eyes, smirked, and rode the momentum to warp her arms and legs around the man. Like a koala, she clung to Victor indecently and ambiguously.

It happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard.

In reflex, Victor took a step back to stabilize his body and caught her.

No longer a reserved fair lady, Judith was not full of frivolities.

She drew close to his ear, exhaled hot air, and smirked, "Old fella, your waist is so strong. Use it properly, do not waste it, and break girl's loving hearts!"

"Girl, you know a lot."

He looked into her eyes meaningfully, his gaze turning more dangerous.

"Not as much as you, old fella!"

Infatuated, she shivered and deftly hit him on the nape.

He casually fended it off, but Judith seized the chance and quickly slipped away into the rain.

Victor stiffened and saw her whistling triumphantly and giving him the finger out of the corner of his eye.

"Trying to catch me, you wish!"

Victor was speechless...

Who was this unruly and uncultured girl?

He looked away and spotted a red earring on the floor.

He paused for a while and then bent down to pick it up.

He examined the earring carefully and stroked it with his fingertips. His eyes went dimmer.

It was inlaid with a rare ruby, which betrayed the special status of the girl.

No wonder she had the guts to bully the young lady of the Pate family in public.

He wouldn't care if this happened in the past but had to step in given Michele's current relationship with the Reid family.

"Get her." He instructed indifferently.
