“If you’re looking for trouble, do it elsewhere. Don’t take up the corridor,”
Leighton declared, releasing his grip.
Following that, the woman found herself sitting on the ground. Looking up, she found Leighton’s formidable presence and stern countenance daunting, but her words became even more malicious.
“Are you also this woman’s lapdog?” she sneered. “Do you genuinely believe she appreciates you just because you’ve been intimate with her? Let me assure you, she’s fixated on her brother.
