He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 224

Ultimately, it was Sienna who broke the silent standoff.

She stood up, naturally linking her arm through Lucas's, and murmured to him.

"Let's go. I'm exhausted."

"Alright."

Lucas immediately withdrew his gaze, shifting all his attention back to her, his eyes softening instantly.

"The car is waiting out front."

Without sparing Grant another glance, the two of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder toward the door.

Sienna's retreating figure was poised and resolute, treating the man behind her as nothing more than thin air.

Grant stood frozen, watching helplessly as K and Lucas vanished through the doorway. It wasn't until their footsteps faded down the hall that his rigid body finally swayed.

A violent coughing fit seized him out of nowhere.

"Cough... cough... cough!"

He bent double, coughing so fiercely it sounded as if he were trying to hack up his own lungs.

"Grant, are you okay?" Terrified, Seraphina rushed forward to steady him.

"Get the hell out!"

Grant violently shoved her away, the force of it making Seraphina stumble and nearly fall.

However, there wasn't a trace of anger on her face at being treated so roughly.

On the contrary, as she stared at Grant's devastated, near-broken state, a strange light flickered in her eyes, and her lips curled into a subtle smirk.

So... K wasn't just cold to her.

Even Grant, the almighty CEO of The Gauthier Group who controlled the business world and had countless people begging for his favor, was nothing in K's eyes.

Seraphina smoothed the wrinkles from her gown, silently praising her idol. K truly possessed the fierce pride and unyielding spirit of a true artist, entirely refusing to bow to wealth and power.

This otherworldly detachment only elevated K's image in her mind, making her seem even more majestic and mysterious.

Leaning heavily against the wall, Grant finally managed to suppress his coughing. When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot and terrifying.

He refused to accept this.

He absolutely wouldn't accept it.
