Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1424 - 712: Why Do You Ask Me?

Heather's eyes flashed with puzzlement.

She briefly talked to Leila before hanging up.

The matter had come to a close, and Malcolm and Helen had been betrayed by everyone.

The two of them were a little sensible. They knew very well that if they defended themselves now, they would only be targeted by angry classmates.

Moreover, the evidence was stronger than the two photos of Heather that they had taken out when they smeared her. Furthermore, they were in the mood to deal with the curse at present. After watching the video, how could Helen possibly be calm?

She had tried to frustrate Heather. Heather was so much better than her that she couldn't beat her head on. That was why she came up with a bad idea. But she didn't expect this wouldn't give her any feeling of victory. On the contrary, she was utterly discredited now!

How could she think she had stolen Heather's man? In fact, like what the people in the forum said, she was trying to collect the garbage that Heather didn't even bother to cast a glance at. What was more hateful was that she had treasured this garbage!

"Malcolm Carter! I'll kill you!" Helen ran after Malcolm and beat him up.

"Helen, listen to me. I can explain…" Malcolm grimaced as he used his arms to protect his face and explained eagerly, "It's nothing like that…."

"How dare you explain!" Helen was dying to rip him. How could she possibly listen to all his sweet words?

Elsewhere, there was a weird atmosphere in Heather's study.

All of a sudden, Heather rose from her chair and came to Alexander with a half-smile.

She suddenly stretched out her arm to close his computer.

He cocked an eyebrow and looked at her blankly. "What happened?"

"I have something to ask you," she said as she leaned slightly over and caught his tie with her finger.

"... What are you asking?" Her breath was almost audible. His eyes turned deep, and his breath became a little heavy.

"It's not urgent." She smiled even more seductively. Her fingers took his tie off. "Let's do one thing first."

"Okay," he agreed without hesitation. His decision slowed down her movements. But soon, she held the tie and continued her seductive smile. "Put your hands behind your back and close your eyes. Let's do a magic trick."

"Mm." He obediently did as she said.

She took the tie and tied his wrists up.

"It's done." Then, after making sure the tie was tight and he couldn't get away from it, she said, "Open your eyes."

He opened his eyes and saw her looking at him with a playful smile as she held a belt in her hand.

He looked at the belt more tenderly. "So… you keep the token of our love?"

She freaked out. "What token of our love? You, you nonsense!"

Looking at her rosy little face, the affection in his eyes was more intense. "I didn't know you cared so much about the gift I gave you."

"You didn't give it to me!" Her face looked more flushed. She felt the belt she was holding seemed to be getting very hot. Finally, she blurted out angrily, "I grabbed it!"

The moment she said it out, she was dying to bite her tongue off! But, unfortunately, her answer was no better than the one she had vetoed!

After she grabbed it that day, she left it in the study because she couldn't find a place to put it, and she felt it was impolite to throw it away. After tying up Alexander, she took it out in passing, but she didn't expect Alexander to tease her with it!

"Be serious!" She banged the belt on the table angrily. "If you don't obey me, I'll really hit you. I'm not kidding!"

He smiled indulgently and seemed completely blind to her movements.

"I see," he said in a low voice, "you enjoy playing like that. Don't worry. I will let you enjoy it."

Her face darkened. What did he mean? She just wanted to scare him. How could she possibly really whip him? She wasn't a sadist! For some reason, she felt that Alexander misunderstood her...

Her lips twitched, and she hastily came to her senses. Then, with a stern look on her face, she asked, "Why was a video of me talking to Malcolm Carter on his computer?"

He cocked an eyebrow, but his look was much gentler.

Sure enough, Heather was very smart. Most of the time, she didn't fight with others, but that didn't mean she was easy to fool. Malcolm had that video on his computer, which seemed ridiculous indeed.

"When you went back to school yesterday, I was worried about your safety, so I secretly arranged for someone to protect you," he explained in a soft voice. "She made that video. Then, to punish Malcolm Carter, I had the video hacked into his computer. In fact, he didn't know that."

Heather froze.

She had imagined various kinds of scenes, but in every scene, it was Alexander trying to deny it or make up excuses to defend himself. She had even thought of all kinds of words to retort him.

But she had never expected he would admit it!

Not only did he admit it, but he admitted quite frankly that he had arranged for someone to follow her in secret!

Heather, who was about to flare up, suddenly didn't know what to do. It was because she had guessed that he had done all this that she was angry that he had someone follow her.

'I don't like people following me in the dark!" After thinking for a while, she finally said angrily. She couldn't waver!

"Okay, I'll pull her back," he nodded and agreed.

"..." She was tongue-tied again, helplessly looking at him. Couldn't he stop obeying her like that? She didn't know how to get mad at him since he was so cooperative!

Finally, she asked with resignation, "Aren't you worried about my safety?"

"Then I won't pull her out?" he asked, smiling.

"Why do you ask me?" she almost vomited blood and said, "Isn't her your subordinate?"

"Yes, but I'll let her protect you if you want. If you don't want her, I'll pull her back." He looked at her with quiet eyes. "Heather, I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable."

Her heart beat faster. Could Alexander….stop hitting on her like this? It made her seem totally defenseless when she faced him!

Heather gritted her teeth and finally said, "Forget it this time, but…."
