5 Her eyes were almost in arm's reach . Even though I knew nothing could be seen from outside , under her seemingly piercing gaze , I completely froze . 11:36 Tue , 26 Aug Suddenly , from behind me , the boy's low murmur , laced with a faint smile , reached my ears : " Sister , are you that … * tense * ? " The canine tooth , which had been gently nipping my nape , retreated . The sharp sting had barely registered before it was covered by a warm , wet sensation . His slightly hurried breath fanned my neck . " If you're so afraid of being found out , why did you provoke me in the first place ? " " How about … I roll down the window and tell them to get lost , hmm ? " That was the first time I subtly sensed the wild streak lurking within him. After a long moment without a response , Chloe's expression stiffened slightly . A flicker of displeasure crossed her eyes . She tugged at Alex behind her , and he stepped forward . " Mr. Ryder , I'm Alex Thorne of Thorne Enterprises . " " My girlfriend needs your autograph . " As he spoke , his tone carried an undisguised arrogance . As if he was certain Jax Ryder wouldn't refuse him , given his status . After two seconds of silence , Jax Ryder suddenly let out a cold scoff . He grabbed his jacket from beside him , pulled it over my head , obscuring my face . Before I could react , he pushed open the car door , took a long stride , and stepped out . Through the jacket , everything was invisible . < The world was just a blur of light and shadow . And Jax Ryder's ice - cold , mocking voice : " Tsk , never heard of you . " Alex said in a deep voice : " What did you say ? " " I said , I don't know you . " Jax Ryder spoke each word distinctly . " What , are you an idiot ? Can't understand plain English ? " Alex , pampered and fawned over by everyone , had never been publicly humiliated like this . Even without seeing his face , I could imagine his grim and ugly expression . I couldn't help but curve my lips into a small smile . " Oh , is that … " Chloe suddenly shrieked . F45 " Isn't that a woman's dress in the car ? - " Before she could finish , Jax Ryder cut her off : " Does it concern you ? " " Please , get lost , okay ? "
