Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 199

3. 3.

Susan looked incredulous. He eyes, wide as grapes, couldn’t prosess what had happened.

A twitch ran across Gabriel’s face. His wolf was surprised, “THIS KID ISN’T USUALLY SQ CHIVALROUS, IS HE?” Shouldn’t he be protecting her at this moment? Even if she didn’t sit on his lap, at least he should get her a chair to sit next to him.

His wolf nodded in agreement, adding, “SQUATTING IS RIDICULOUS SHE’S NOT A DOG!”

The scene froze. It was like a stage play where an actor suddenly deviated from the script, leaving the other actors stuck, unsure how to proceed.

‘My boss is still as poisonous as aconite!” I inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. I’d almost thought he was genuinely interested in the girl. Honestly, if he actually took the girl, as his secretary, apart from mourning his lack of willpower and falling for Gabriel’s trick…I could only let him be.

Susan was still standing there, teetering.

‘Secretary Chou, get Susan a chair.”

Gabriel said with displeasure.

Secretary Chou quickly found a chair and placed it in the small space between Xander and Gabriel, then, like a caring older sister, pulled the girl over and had her sit down.

Susan sat down, legs together, hands neatly placed in front of her, unlike the other nine glamorous, hot, charming, and sexy Omegas… Or perhaps, only in the eyes of men, they were different.

I thought that except for Secretary Chou, the other eight beauties were genuinely themselves. Their sneers were definitely real; weren’t they thinking, “I’m seductive, but at least I don’t pretend!

Everyone resumed drinking and chatting. Xander completely forgot about the girl next to him.

Gabriel was anxious. If he directly suggested that Xander could take Susan back to his villa tonight, with the guy’s cunning and unpredictable nature, he would refuse. He was sure Xander was interested in Susan, otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed her while she was outside.

‘Gabriel,” Xander swirled his wine glass, mimicking Gabriel, his tone light and playful, what’s Susan’s situation?”

“Susan,” Gabriel happily slapped his leg, “is a pitiful child. She’s the daughter of one of my subordinates. She’s very good. Her father died in a car accident a few years ago, her mother’s health is poor, and she hasa useless brother. She just started her freshman year last year, and she needs to take care of her mother and earn her tuition. Who knew her mother’s illness would worsen this year? The surgery costs two hundred thousand, so…”

He sighed, seeming sorrowful and sympathetic.

Susan’s face flushed red; her chin almost touched her chest.

Xander listened silently. His wolf was deeply shocked.

Me:… This plot…

I glanced at Secretary Chou, strongly suspecting that she helped Gabriel come up with it.

୮

A deceased father, a sick mother, a useless brother, a poor me, a series of misfortunes, surgery that costs two hundred thousand, a brave and strong me who has no choice but to sell my virginity to raise money. This is a mysteriously powerful superpower; once these conditions are met, regardless of Mr. Shaw, young colonel, or gang leader, they’ll all be charmed into idiocy.

My wolf suddenly realized something, “NO, THAT’S NOT RIGHT!XANDER MIGHT GENUINELY NOT KNOW!*

Everyone, seemingly relaxed, was listening intently for Xander’s reaction.
