Julian raised an eyebrow, giving Alex a sidelong glance. “Clearly, the current one.”
Alex was about to say more when the sound of a wheelchair rolling broke through. Isabelle laughed lightly, covering her mouth. “How thoughtful of Chloe to hire actors overnight for our entertainment. It really is quite amusing.”
Alex’s tense expression relaxed, a “I knew it” look crossing his face.
“Tch.”
Julian couldn’t help but chuckle. The next second, he saw the red swelling on my forehead, and his smile froze.
“Acting, huh? I like it!” Julian crooked a finger, and a swarm of bodyguards surged forward. “Next up, we’re going to demonstrate how to teach these rotten relatives a painful lesson.”
In the ensuing chaos, Julian swept me up with one arm and turned to leave.
I hooked my arms around his neck. “Quite the dramatic entrance.”
“Hmph, I was in such a rush to catch you, i didn’t even bother with much fanfare.”
“Oh, poor you,” I teased.
