The emptiness she felt after Griffon let go of her hand left a void in her heart as well. She looked at Griffon, who was standing in the distance, listening to the woman’s words. Her expression gradually became gloomy. “Do you know who she is?” Jessica came to Taya’s side and looked into the distance with her. Taya didn’t answer, but Jessica continued muttering to herself. “She’s Emelyn Davies from one of the four major European packs. She’s the apple of Master Davies’ eye.” Jessica turned her head to the side and looked at Taya, whose expression had changed slightly. Even so, she pretended to be calm. “Her background is enough to scare even me away. You can’t even compare to me. Will you be able to steal Griffon away from her?” she provoked Taya.
Taya clenched her hands and turned her head to the side, glancing at Jessica coldly. “Dr. Simmons, if you have to sn atch someone away just to get them to love you, I would rather not do it. I advise you to forget about doing that,” she retorted. She turned around and wanted to leave the turf club by herself, but Jessica followed her relentlessly. “Taya, if Griffon really loved you, he wouldn’t have let go of your hand just now and left with Ms. Davies without hesitation,” she insisted. “He clearly doesn’t care about your feelings and doesn’t value you. If you keep going, I’m afraid you’re going to get seriously hurt.” Taya stopped suddenly. She swiveled around and looked at Jessica icily. “You might not know this, but I’ve already been hurt once. I’m not afraid of getting hurt the second time.” Jessica was completely unaware of Griffon and Taya’s past, so she felt that there was a deeper meaning to Taya’s words.
She reacted quickly and soon realized that the two of them. might have talked it over before. That didn’t matter, though. She folded her arms across her chest, raised her chin, and stared at Taya arrogantly. “If you’ve been hurt once, there will be a second time. I’m waiting for you to get hurt twice by the same man.” With that, she turned around and walked in the direction of Griffon and Emelyn. Taya looked at the untouchable group of people and suddenly felt that they were living in two completely separate worlds. She clenched her fists, spun around, and escaped from the suffocating turf club. Her petite back looked lonely, but so out of place. The moment Griffon looked up, he saw Taya leaving and immediately looked back at Emelyn to quickly end the conversation. “Next time something urgent happens, tell your brother to come to find me,” he stated. “My brother got injured. He asked me to-” Before Emelyn could finish, she saw him hurriedly chasing after Taya, which made her shake her head uncontrollably. Griffon seemed so entranced by Taya. Emelyn wondered if they would get implicated because of Griffon’ relationship with Taya in the future. When Jessica pa*sed by Griffon, she wanted to settle the score with him. After all, that whip almost made her fall off her horse. However, Griffon didn’t even spare her a glance.
He just walked past her and quickly made his way out of the turf club. Jessica’s pretty face instantly turned pale with anger, but in front of Emelyn, she suppressed her emotions. She smiled and greeted Emelyn. “Ms. Davies.” Emelyn stood on the spot, sizing her up. “Who are you?” Seeing that Emelyn was willing to talk to her, Jessica quickly introduced himself with a smile. “I am Jessica Simmons, an internationally renowned dermatologist.” When Emelyn heard that, she nodded her head lightly, her face was cold. “I see. I don’t know you.” Jessica was not annoyed. She simply explained with a grin, “You may have forgotten, Ms. Davies. I once went to your house to give Mr. Davies a skin check-up.” Upon hearing Jessica mention her older brother, Emelyn’s expression turned cold. “Dr. Simmons, right? You are not qualified to talk to me. Get lost.” Jessica thought that Emelyn would be a friendly person. Unexpectedly, Emelyn’s attitude changed in a split second, leaving Jessica embarra*sed. There was no way Jessica would have taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Emelyn if not for the fact that the Davies pack was one of the top packs in Europe. Jessica stopped smiling. She turned and left with an icy face, but her heart was trembling with anger. She internally fumed, “Emelyn, with how badly your brother’s back is burnt, he’ll definitely ask me to treat him in the future.” When the time came, even if Emelyn knelt down and begged her, she would refuse. She would just have to wait and see. After Taya left the turf club, she was suddenly a little dazed when she saw dozens of luxury cars parked outside. She was in an unfamiliar country and environment with strangers all around her. She didn’t know a single person.
That feeling of loneliness made her want to escape. She stood at the door, her heart feeling heavy and depressed when a hand took her tiny hand and held it tightly. “Taya.” Griffon’ concerned voice could be heard from above her head. Taya didn’t dare to look up at him. She lowered her gaze, looking at the hand that was once again holding hers. Griffon followed her gaze and glanced at their interlocked fingers, only to belatedly remembered that he had let go of her hand just now. He panicked and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize to her. “I’m sorry, Taya. I should have let you know what’s going on, instead of letting go of your hand and following another woman. I was so inconsiderate. It’s my fault.” When Taya saw those bright eyes full of nervousness, she wondered if she was making too much of a fuss. She felt insecure, and her thoughts were confused, but she still shook her head at him. “It’s okay…” Her words left Griffon even more flustered, and he bowed even deeper. It wasn’t until he was at eye level with her that he saw her gaze clearly. It was so full of sorrow, and his heart suddenly felt suffocated. Griffon, who was afraid that she would be disappointed in him because of this, turned pale with tension on his handsome face. “Don’t get me wrong. She’s my business partner. I’ve never been involved with her in that way,” he explained. Seeing that he was about to kneel down in front of her, Taya slowly let go of the gloom in her heart. It was normal for a man like Griffon to have some high-quality women around him. As long as he didn’t betray her, there was no need to worry too much about such trivial matters.
After Taya thought it through, she squeezed his hand again, then raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled. “I believe you.” The tension on Griffon’ face melted away with her grin. He was about to continue explaining, but Taya said, “Let’s go home, Griffon.” Those words warmed Griffon’ heart, and moved him even more than when she said she trusted him. He couldn’t help but hold Taya’s face in his hands and kissed her lips desperately in front of everyone. When Jessica came out of the turf club, she was greeted by that blinding scene, and she froze in place. She couldn’t believe that the god-like man in front of her was frantically kissing a woman she despised. Judging from the posture, it was clear that he was far more in love than she was. Taya didn’t even raise her hand, but the man was hugging her waist and taking the initiative to be intimate with her. It probably wasn’t the first time they had shared such a bold and pa*sionate kiss. It seemed that Griffon, who was rumored to have never gotten close to women before, had already slept with her. Thinking of Griffon’ first time being given to Taya, Jessica was so jealous that she went insane. She had fantasized about being hugged and kissed by Griffon countless times, or being pressed down by him and doing it with him. However, she could only watch him from a distance as he remained an enigma.
He had never even spared her a glance. She thought he was not interested in women, but that wasn’t the case. He just hadn’t met someone who caught his attention yet. When Jessica saw Griffon’ lustful and seductive look as he kissed Taya fiercely, she felt increasingly uncomfortable. That man’s dominance, madness and lust should have been directed at her, not the useless Taya. Jessica clenched her fists. She watched quietly for a while, then picked up her phone and made a call.
