Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Skye Lawrence
âMs. Skye?â he blurted out, âImpossible!â
How could it be Ms. Skye who acted against Ms. Clark? Hadnât Ms. Skye met with Ms. Clark before? At that time, Ms. Skye didnât show much malice towards Ms. Clark at all.
Scott Harris couldnât believe it and his eyes widened in shockâŠ
This⊠why?
Everything must have a reason, right? Even if Ms. Skye did as the Old Master requested and told Baron not to be with Ms. Clark, there was no need to do something soâŠ
Scott Harris didnât know what to say.
Just as he was about to confirm if the photo on the phone was indeed Skye Lawrence, Baron Lawrence suddenly turned off the phone and threw it into a nearby fish tank.
âMy phone!â The server exclaimed, but upon catching his icy stare, quickly shrank back and clammed up.
Baron Lawrenceâs eyes could have frosted over, he didnât utter a single word and headed straight for the doorâ
âLord, where are you going?â Scott Harris called out anxiously.
But Baron Lawrence, as if he hadnât heard, strode away and disappeared into the lobbyâŠ
âŠ
In a villa not far from the Oceana Club.
A woman with an aura of nobility and beauty was opening a bottle of champagne, enjoying the seaside view outside.
Suddenlyâ
A loud bang of a door being kicked sounded from outside, followed by several screams from the bodyguards. She put down her champagne, raised an eyebrow, and opened the drawer next to her. She picked out a handgun that felt most comfortable to her from several others and loaded it.
Throughout the process, she remained incredibly calm, as if she didnât feel the danger approaching at all.
Soon, another loud bang.
Her bedroom door was violently kicked open from the outside.
The next second, a man braced against the howling wind strode in. Before she could react, he kicked the gun out of her hands and it flew across the floorâ
He was closing in on her!
Skye Lawrence didnât expect him to come; she was surprised for a moment, then frowned and rolled her eyes, attempting to push against his shoulder, âSo itâs you! I thought someone had broken in. Whatâs the matter, having a seizure? You look terrible. Move aside; youâre blocking my view.â
Her tone was as usual, and their interaction followed the same familiar pattern.
This time, however, Baron Lawrence didnât move aside. His eyes narrowed, he stared at her coldly, âSkye Lawrence, what have you done?â
âWhat have I done?â His question made Skye Lawrenceâs heart skip a beat, but she quickly regained her regal composure, âWhatâs gotten into you? Move it!â
Baron Lawrence grasped her wrist tightly, squeezing hard, âIâm asking you again, your reason!â
His demeanor was so overt that Skye Lawrence couldnât avoid it even if she wanted to.
Since she had been discovered, being a smart woman, she didnât intend to deny it any longer. She lifted her chin, her beautiful face remaining composed as she said indifferently, âBecause you canât be with her.â
âThatâs your reason?â
âNo, have you ever looked into the Habsden Family?â Skye Lawrence stood firm under his intimidating presence, radiating the aura of a powerful woman, âThe Habsden Family controls nearly eighty-nine percent of Country Tâs crude oil. Country T is already an oil-rich nation, Baron, do you know what eighty-nine percent of crude oil implies?â
Skye Lawrence enunciated every word, âWealthy enough to rival countries!â
Baron Lawrence waited patiently for her to finish. He didnât need to know all this!
The woman he loved was named Enna Clark, not Habsden! But he wanted to hear Skye Lawrenceâs reason for her actions.
