Chapter 435

When people are panicked, they often seek help instinctively.

I looked at Edward, and he was looking at me too. When our eyes met, I saw a hint of panic in his gaze.

As our eyes met in the air, I caught a glimpse of something unsettled in Edward’s eyes–he seemed a bit flustered too.

“I’m still under house arrest, so you deal with it,” I whispered.

Edward let out a soft chuckle. “Weren’t you the one who wanted to blow things up and make a mess? Ryan’s downstairs.”

When I was really angry before, I did think about dragging everyone into the mess and just letting things get chaotic.

But now, thinking it over, I had youth, beauty, money, and a career. Why would I want to play with fire?

“Ryan’s been good to me. I don’t want to hurt him,” I said, lowering my gaze and speaking honestly.

“Do you actually like him?” Edward’s expression darkened a bit as he asked me seriously.

I glanced up at him briefly before quickly looking out the window. “He’s such a great guy. Who wouldn’t like him?”

Edward’s expression turned ugly as he snapped, “Get in that room and don’t come out.”

I noticed a small door nearby, walked over, and pushed it open. To my surprise, it was a stylish little lounge.
