CHAPTER 469: CHAPTER 469: THREAT

Two hands encircle Poe Vaughn’s waist, crossing over each other to hold him tightly, refusing to let him leave.

If force won’t work, then let’s try softness.

She doesn’t believe that even after all this, he can still shake her off?

There are so many people here, and he’s a grown man, a cultured and respected man—how bad would it look to throw a woman to the ground?

Poe Vaughn wouldn’t do such a thing, would he?

They say people assess others before choosing a strategy. When the person is unique, naturally the method used will be different.

This approach might not work on others, but it surely works on Poe Vaughn!

Ava Sterling has confidence in that.

Thinking this, Ava Sterling tightened her grip around Poe Vaughn’s waist, pressing herself even closer against him, like a sticky caramel candy that cannot be shaken off.

The airport is crowded, especially at this hour, with people constantly coming and going.

Poe Vaughn’s figure is distinguished and strikingly impressive; when he appears, the surrounding lights seem to dim, leaving him brilliant and dazzling.

Passersby can’t help but glance at him, and upon seeing his extremely charming, perfect face, one glance turns into two, then three, then four, repeatedly looking back.

Good things always draw attention like this, and people are no exception.

Everyone watches Poe Vaughn, and when they see Ava Sterling catching up—this tall, slender woman with a slightly flushed face from running, a face exceptionally beautiful—everyone can’t help but pause.

Especially when Ava Sterling rushes up to stand in front of Poe Vaughn, blocking his way, people are filled with gossip and curiosity.

A man and woman, both so attractive—it’s obviously a romantic issue.

When both are so good-looking, together they provide more excitement than a television drama.

Thus, those in no hurry stop in their tracks, eager to see what happens next.

When they see Ava Sterling quickly hugging Poe Vaughn, the onlookers gasp in surprise.

This scene is a bit bold.

In an instant, Ava Sterling’s direct and daring act stunned those around them, widening their eyes as they watched.

At this moment, the airport lights fall on Ava Sterling and Poe Vaughn, as if wrapping them in brilliance.

All light sources focus on them, while everyone else fades into the background.

Ava Sterling doesn’t notice the stares around her, and even if she did, she wouldn’t care. She holds Poe Vaughn tightly, sure that he won’t be able to shake her off anytime soon, she grits her teeth and speaks: "If you leave again, I’ll start shouting!"

Ava Sterling is full of anger, extraordinarily furious.

She had intended to catch up to him and have a good talk, but his dismissive attitude instantly enraged her.

She completely forgets to be calm, to be rational. Her first words are direct threats.

Straightforward threats.

She doesn’t believe, not with so many people around, that he would really let her shout out loud.

If she calls out and it’s exposed, it’ll be a problem for him.

Poe Vaughn was originally steady and resolute, unaffected by anyone, but Ava Sterling’s sudden confrontation made him lean forward instinctively for a moment.

But only for a moment; he quickly steadies his steps, standing firm and unmoving.

The soft, warm body clings to him, arms like lotus stems encircle his waist, she is clutching onto him, enveloping him with warmth.

He looks down, his gaze deep and intense at this moment.

But...
