Chapter 698

Christine was taken aback, scrambling to get up, but found herself pinned down firmly.

“Get your filthy hands off me.”

Instead of complying, Dailey pressed her even closer to him.

With only one hand free, Christine couldn’t push him away and resorted to covering his mouth, her tone dripping with sarcasm, “So, Mr. Clarkson enjoys playing the aggressor, huh?” “Let go of Chris!”

Merritt dropped his bag of chips and grabbed Christine’s arm, attempting to pull her away from Dailey.

The commotion had already drawn the attention of everyone in the room.

Merritt tried to pry Dailey’s grip open but it was as if his hand was clamped down by a vise, unmoving.
