Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 281

Just then, Austin abruptly stood up. With a heavy thud, Tahlia hit the floor, but he only looked down at her with cold disgust.

"Get lost!" he snapped, his voice sharp as ice.

Had she been a man, Austin might have already thrown a punch. His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He could barely restrain the urge to strike.

Tahlia, now on the floor and clutching her elbow, looked up at him with teary eyes.

"Mr. Hall, that hurt. Can you help me?" she asked.

Tahlia refused to believe this was happening. No man had ever rejected her advances before. She had always been confident in her charm.

Biting her lip, she gazed up at Austin. Her fingers delicately tugged at his pant leg as she played the part of a fragile beauty to perfection.

Tahlia wasn't about to give up. Slowly, she traced her fingertips up the fabric of his trousers, her intentions crystal clear.

Austin's gaze darkened, his eyes cold as a storm. In a swift motion, he grabbed her wrist.

For a fleeting second, Tahlia thought he had given in. Excitement surged in her chest as she pressed closer to him.

But then he tightened his grip on Tahlia's wrist. A sickening pop echoed through the room.

Tahlia shrieked, her face turning ghostly pale as cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
