Chapter 658 The Wrong Man to Threaten

The second man rubbed at his eyes before laughing too.

“You’re right. I was there as well. Corbin practically tried to buy her freedom on the spot afterward.”

All three men burst into laughter together.

Scarlet’s face turned pale immediately.

From the corner of her eye, she could already tell the noise had drawn attention from both Draven and Leander.

Her hands felt ice cold.

Still, she forced herself to remain composed. “You must have mistaken me for someone else,” she said softly.

“Mistaken you?”

Corbin immediately burst out laughing.

“A woman as unforgettable as you?” His drunken grin widened shamelessly. “Even if they burned you to ashes, I’d still recognize you. What’s wrong? You’ve climbed into higher circles now, so suddenly you don’t acknowledge old acquaintances anymore?”

His gaze dragged greedily across Scarlet’s face.

“But I remember you very clearly.” His voice turned lower and more suggestive. “How about another drink together? Come back to my estate with me tonight.

Scarlet instinctively stepped backward.

Corbin mistook her reaction for flirtation and laughed even harder.

“Well, look at that. A few months apart and now you’re acting shy?” He smirked openly. “Still, I’ve always liked that timid little expression of yours. Drives a man crazy.”

As he spoke, he reached toward her.

But before his hand could touch Scarlet, another hand clamped around his wrist with crushing force.

The grip was so strong Corbin cried out instantly, sobering halfway on the spot.

He jerked his head upward and found himself staring directly into Draven’s cold expression.

Corbin did not recognize him.

“Who the hell are you?” he snapped while wincing in pain. “Let go of me right now. Do you even know who my father is?”

Draven let out a short cold laugh.

“I don’t particularly care who your father is.” His voice remained flat.

Then he yanked Corbin backward hard enough to force distance between him and Scarlet.

Corbin’s wrist hurt badly enough that his face twisted, but with his companions standing nearby, pride kept him from backing down.

“What exactly did I do?” he demanded loudly. “I was greeting an old friend. Who do you think you are?” He

ried unsuccessfully to pull his wrist free. “You’d better let go while you still can. My father is Barrett rowe, commander of the city watch. If you offend me, you won’t survive another week in Vanelle.”

The more Corbin listened, the smugger he became.

He tilted his head arrogantly toward Draven.

“If you’ve got any sense at all, you’ll think carefully about whether someone like me is beyond your reach.” He tugged uselessly at his trapped wrist again. “Let go of me, bow properly, and apologize. If I’m in a generous mood, maybe I won’t pursue the matter further.”

Despite all his effort, however, Draven’s grip did not loosen in the slightest.
