Laurent’s lips curled into a faint smirk. “So what if I am? And so what if I’m not? Mason, you’re starting trouble here, aren’t you?”

Keith still looked every bit the polished young aristocrat. He smiled and said, “Ava, come overh stand with him.”

At that moment, a fire dragon suddenly surged straight toward Keith. In front of him, a layer of formed into a protective barrier. He turned and walked to the other side. “Mason, that’s a bit mu you think? Trying to ruin my face? What’s with that dark little mind of yours? What, jealous I loo than you?”

In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Ava. He grabbed her wrist. Come on. D with this dangerous guy.”

Mason immediately seized her other wrist. “I said, don’t move.”

The smile on Keith’s face finally faded. Their eyes met in the air. “You’re serious?”

Laurent also walked over. With every step, flickers of lightning crackled faintly behind him.

Ava’s heart tightened with unease. She never expected that letting Laurent stay back then would plar. a huge hidden problem. And now, it was basically about to blow up in front of her.

She also came to a very clear realization. The moment these men failed to keep their balance, things easily spiral into an all-out clash between all sides.

They’re all basically born at the top of the food chain. They were only forced into the same arrangement because ti were matched with the same person. So let’s be real, do they really act as friendly as they look? They all have their feelings and their own calculations. And the moment their interests get threatened, they’ll strike.

In a setup like this, hidden competition is always there underneath everything.

“Can you two let go of me so we can talk this through? Please?” she looked between them. “This started because I didn’t say anything from the beginning. I’ve thought about it, and it’s my fault. I’ll own that.”

Then she glanced down at her wrists again, each one held by a different man. “At this rate, you might as well split me in half and each take a piece.”

Keith chuckled and said, “What are you talking about? That’s nonsense. Split you in half? I couldn’t bear that

Ava looked at Mason’s hard, sharp expression. “Mason, can you let me go?”

Mason j came down and talked to me for a while. I didn’t tell him you guys were staying here. I can understa why he got upset.”

Jason actually laughed at that, loud and completely unbothered. He glanced at the two of them and s So that’s what this is. You two are just jealous of me. You two are jealous I did something you’ve both wanted to do but haven’t.”

He rested his chin on his hand. “Didn’t you see? She kissed me first. We were just having a closer conversation. You two are the ones barging in without any manners.”
