Chapter 500 Go Ask Your Father
After glancing between Elise and Ziggy, Tina finally clenched her teeth and left in indignation.
For his part, Ziggy wasn’t the least bit affected and simply put down his champagne before going to sit on the couch next to Elise.
Disgusted, Elise moved away, only for him to cling to her like a limpet and move in the same direction as her.
After several such rounds, she was finally pressed against the arm of the couch with nowhere else to go, so she began to get up to leave. Immediately, he reached out and grabbed the armrest, blocking her escape route.
Since she would have to touch his dirty arm if she still tried to get up and leave, she had no choice but to settle back into her seat.
At this point, she turned to give him a cold, loathing look.
Deep down, she was thinking that if he dared to touch her, she would incapacitate him so badly that he would never be able to have children.
“Surely you’re not intending to molest me in front of everyone else?” Elise murmured neutrally.
Ziggy’s gaze was flirtatious and lecherous as he answered, “What are you afraid of? It’s only a matter of time before we go further than that.” With that, his free hand began to reach for her.
His eyes were on Elise’s waist—the waist so slender he would be able to envelop it with one arm. No longer could he wait to experience the feeling of hugging her.
From this angle, he could vaguely even see the curves of her upper body. Truly, he couldn’t resist her any longer.
Meanwhile, the smile on Elise’s face was growing, but there wasn’t a shred of warmth in her eyes. The cushion of the couch was quickly going out of shape beneath her fingers, and she was prepared to replace it with a death grip on his hand at any moment.
When she felt him leaning toward her, she let go of the couch, getting ready to strike.
However, before she could grab hold of his collar and send him tumbling over her shoulder, he suddenly screamed as his arms tensed. “Ow! Ow!”
And then, as stiff as a board, he was made to stand up.
Finally, Elise relaxed her fists and looked over her shoulder to see what had taken place.
At some point unknown to her, Kenneth had appeared behind her. With his black shirt and black pants, coupled with an unreadable expression and an even more unapproachable demeanor, he looked like the Grim Reaper.
Currently, he not only had a hold on Ziggy’s hands, but had turned them outward by ninety degrees. With the slightest force, Ziggy would likely be able to experience the marvels of living with outward-facing palms.
Despite the change in Elise’s expression, she didn’t react any other way than to stare at Kenneth, unmoving.
The frequency at which he appeared just in time to save her was completely beyond her expectations.
Very quickly, she remembered his wound and quietly looked at his waist.
An injury there meant that he should not be exerting force, which was why his current actions suggested that he was tugging at his injury and had likely torn it open.
Inexplicably, Elise felt her heart squeeze uncomfortably.
Meanwhile, Ziggy was in so much pain that spots were breaking out before his eyes and the cold sweat on his forehead was causing his spiked fringe to collapse from his melting hair wax. In short, he looked worse for wear. “Who the f*ck are you clueless piece of sh*t? How dare you interfere in my affairs? I’ll have you know that you won’t be leaving Dukethorn alive if you go up against the Carnegie Family!”
