The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 23

Kylie changed into her slippers, and she couldn't hold herself back before saying, "Why did you have to meet Owen? Didn't you want to keep our relationship a secret from everyone?"

Samuel replied indifferently, "Compared to me, Owen wants it hidden even more."

It was a simple sentence, yet it was filled with absolute certainty and a hint of calculated cruelty.

She was at a loss for words. She said nothing else and turned to head toward her room. Just as she reached the hallway, his cold, commanding voice rang out behind her.

"It's the last time you see Owen. He won't be showing up again."

She stopped walking and turned back, her eyes full of disbelief. "What do you mean by that?"

He let out a low, mocking laugh. "He's stepping away from the spotlight. He won't return to Seaville for the next three years."

"Stepping away?" Kylie frowned. She knew little about the entertainment industry but understood that Owen was at the peak of his career.

There could only be one reason for him to disappear so suddenly. It was because of her.

She clenched her teeth, suppressing the shock and anger surging inside her, and said in a calm voice, "There's nothing between me and him. If you don't believe me, then come at me directly."

"When you stand at the top, you have the choice to look down. But when you're at the bottom, you have no choice at all." His dark, inscrutable gaze locked onto her, sending a chill down her spine.

She felt like she'd fallen into an ice-cold abyss, an overwhelming sense of helplessness washing over her. His dominance and ruthlessness were terrifying.

She went straight to her room and dialed Owen's number without hesitation. The phone rang repeatedly, but no one answered. She tried again and then a third time.
