Chapter 136

Livia was undaunted despite Greg’s hostility. She flicked her high ponytail to the back to expose her bare shoulders, and leaned towards the table between her and the Duke. Her red-colored, sweetheart neckline dress did everything to advertise her cleavage as she said, “I came with a proposition, your Grace.”

“Not interested. Get out, Livia. Don’t make me tell you again.” Greg snapped, and took another sip from his glass as he averted his eyes from her and started staring into space while he waited for her to leave.

Livia simpered, and leaned back into her seat as she signaled the bartender for a drink before returning her sights to Greg. His eyes had turned onyx, and it was nothing close to lust. Livia was well-aware of that this time.

“That’s it.” Greg signaled his men and the bouncers approached his table in quick steps.

“Before you do that, you might want to think about what would happen to a certain wolf if you threw me out.” Livia uttered his way in a taunting manner.

Greg’s hand raised without needing to think, halting his three men at the exact moment they had reached his table. His voice was low when he asked, “You’re threatening me?”

Livia’s lips pursed in contemplation for a brief second before they flatten themselves out when she said,“ No, a threat seems murderous. I prefer the word ‘warn’ or ‘caution’.”

“And if I don’t heed to your warning, you’ll do what? Hurt the Queen?”

“Something like that.”

“I applaud how you’re not turning red in embarrassment right now. We both know you have no skill set to accomplish that. And you’re far from having such connections.”

“Who said that the connections are mine?”

Greg was a little surprised to hear that. “Hm. Been making friends, I see.”
