Chapter 318 Curtis swept his gaze to the ground.
Chapter 318 Suzan was as pale as a sheet, her face covered in blood, a shocking sight.
His lips tightened, his voice cold and devoid of warmth, "Don't worry. I'll sort this out for you." Claudine didn't expect him to agree so readily and was momentarily unable to continue her tirade, yet she sensed something off in his tone.
Curtis smirked, "With such injuries, we should rush to the Emergency Room. You should care for your daughter." Bystanders chimed in, "Exactly, with all that blood, Suzan needs to be bandaged up quickly." In the hospital, medical staff quickly brought a stretcher and carried Suzan away.
Curtis didn't even glance back as he turned around and grabbed Leanne's arms, checking her over and making sure she was unharmed.
As the crowd dispersed and the restroom quieted down, Leanne broke the silence, "She fell on her own." "I know," Curtis replied nonchalantly, his palm sliding down her forearm to her hand, "I'd be happier if you pushed her. It's better to bully than be bullied. I've got your back no matter what." Such a morally questionable statement.
Curtis felt something hard in her palm, smooth and small.

But it was too late.
Curtis forcefully pulled her hand back, lowering his head and prying her fingers open one by one.
A pendant revealed itself, lying in her palm.
A dense fog seemed to be wrapped around his heart, which was gently wiped away by a delicate hand, clearing the clouds to reveal a sunny sky.
Curtis pinched the warm pendant, a wave of emotions stirring in his chest, one wave higher than the next.
"I thought you had thrown this away." 1/3 00 Chapter 318 Leanne looked away, "It's valuable. Why would I throw it away?" A laugh escaped Curtis as he was stirred by her words, "Little miser." Leanne tried to retrieve it, but Curtis didn't let go, bending down to pick up a small cat-themed pouch that had fallen. He placed the pendant inside, tightening it.
His defined fingers clutched the pouch, "Since you don't want it anymore, why not sell it to me? Nyour price." Leanne pressed her lips, remaining silent.
Curtis intensely gazed at her face. “You said it's valuable, so why not sell?” Leanne, with a defiant expression, blurted out, "A billion dollars. Take it or leave it." "Deal," Curtis agreed swiftly, pocketing the item.
Leanne, more stubborn than him, grabbed her bag and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, her wrist was caught.
She turned, meeting Curtis' inscrutable gaze.
His next words were unexpected, "How about you slapfirst?" Leanne, already frustrated, retorted, "Are you crazy?" "Really not going to slap me?" Curtis tightened his grip, pulling her into his embrace and cradling her neck. His cool lips fiercely claimed hers without permission.
Leanne instinctively tried to dodge, her head firmly held by his hand, her lips sealed tigh yet unable to withstand his strength. Curtis pinched her jaw, his tongue effortlessly pryi open her teeth, invading her mouth.
Leanne made a soft noise, all her resistance melting away under his dominance.

Fortunately, the kiss was brief like a quick and fierce storm Curtis M released her and stepped back. Her delicate brows furrowed, she wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
Curtis ruffled her hair, his eyes holding back restraint "You can go hnow. Have Jake take you.” With that, he walked away swiftly.
Leanne stood alone in the quiet restroom, puzzled by the inexplicable kiss.
She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out of the restroom, the hospital corridor bustling with people. The daily scents of disinfectant and medicine pulled her back to reality. 2/3 08:45 Chapter 318 She needed to quit daydreaming.
She instinctively put her hand in her pocket, touching something.
She stopped, pulling it out.
It was the pouch containing the pendant.
