Chapter: 1178

She wrapped her arms around herself and shook slightly. "I asked your assistant Frank to pass that message to you."

Frank, seated beside the driver, twitched his mouth. Marlene had never mentioned that to him!

Sean remained silent for a moment before responding in a detached tone, "I'll check it out later."

Marlene gradually approached him as the car jolted, sporting a secretive smile.

Sean held up his hand to stop her. “Don't come any closer."

He wasn't fond of physical contact with women. His interactions with them were solely for socializing and networking.

However, Marlene was an exception.

Upon reaching the villa, Sean led the way inside. Immediately, Frank called the household staff, including a housekeeper and a cook.

Both of them said that they didn't hear any strange noises at night.

Marlene led Sean upstairs. “Sean, come to my room and listen. I can really hear it there."

Sean struggled to control his impatience. At that moment, he nearly decided to leave.

But when he looked into her eyes, he found himself following her without realizing it.

He thought to himself that he should be kind to her, considering he was the one who approached her first.

The two were alone in the dimly lit second-floor corridor.

Heat flushed Marlene's face, making her feel as if her brain were melting.

Sean's tall stature almost completely overshadowed her.

Suddenly, Marlene turned and embraced Sean tightly.

“Sean, the moment you saved me, I fell in love with you. I really like you."

She clung to him tightly, her scent filling the air around them.

“I want to be with you forever. I'm willing to do anything just to be by your side."

While saying this, she began to unzip her dress with her other hand, hoping to impress Sean with her figure.

Sean looked down and noticed her anxious and timid look, a look similar to Norah's but with an expression Norah would never show.

He quickly grasped her hand that was at her dress.

“Marlene, you crossed the Line."
