Her scream echoed through the quiet corridor, giving people the creeps. But Spark didn't stop. He kept walking, holding Molly's hand. But somehow, he felt a strong sense of loss. He just wanted to take Molly away from Brian, far far away. As to why, he did not know.
Molly tried to keep up with Spark. She didn't know who Sophie was. Nor did she care. Obviously, Sophie was just someone Spark didn't want to talk to, so she wasn't worried. At that moment, all she wanted was to get out of that place.
Brian walked out of the lounge. He stood at the door, watching Molly leave frantically with Spark. The look in his eyes had not changed. A faint significant smile touched his lips.
"Turns out that even the daughter of the distinguished Roberts family can lose it over a man," Brian said sarcastically. Then he glanced at Sophie contemptuously. Sophie was in a daze first and then glared at Brian. "Don't even think about laying a finger on her. You wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
His warning sounded casual, but Sophie withdrew half a step back in fright upon hearing it. Brian's cruel aura chilled her. Standing near him made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Brian didn't say another word to Sophie. Although the Roberts family were powerful British aristocrats, in his eyes, they were nobodies.
In this world, no one was allowed to touch Molly, except him.
Brian's eyes seemed calm, yet underneath the serene surface were the tangles of love and hate. 'Molly, we are destined to love and hate each other in this life. How can I let you run away from me this time?'
Brian went back to the backstage lounge of the first concert hall. Both Wing and Becky felt his icy aura as soon as he stepped in. Becky thought Brian was mad because he had failed in asking Spark to co-play the piece of music, but Wing knew Brian better and she sensed something different about him.
Becky approached him and put her arm in his. "Brian, what did Spark say?" she asked.
Brian looked at Becky, who fluttered her eyelashes at him. Part of those big eyes used to be Molly's. Brian stared Becky in the eye, as if he could see Molly if he stared harder. However, she was not Molly! She could never be Mol!
Brian slowly took his arm out of Becky's embrace. Becky's face colored with embarrassment. Brian ignored it and ordered Tony in a cold tone, "Find out where Spark lives."
Wing frowned, scrutinizing Brian with her sharp eyes. Since Becky was with them, Wing didn't ask any questions.
Tony was curious about Brian's order too. Normally, even though Spark was reluctant, he wouldn't refuse to co-play music with Wing if Brian asked him in person. Then why was he so angry? Why did he want to know where Spark lived?
In spite of the questions in his head, Tony followed Brian's order and retreated from the lounge. Ever since Brian had finished the training in Hell Forest, he had become more fathomless.
Becky secretly gritted her teeth, standing there awkwardly. Ever since she had gone to Dragon Island to see Brian, he had been distant. But he had never stopped her from showing intimacy. He had never rejected her so bluntly. She wondered what had happened over there when Brian was talking to Spark. But when she heard the order Brian had given Tony, she assumed that she was just being paranoid; it had to be because the talk with Spark hadn't gone well.
Brian was mad because Spark had refused to co-play music with Wing. That was all.
