Chapter 275 Tied Up in Knots
“You have no shame, but I still do,” Mia snapped, glaring at him furiously.
Josh chuckled lightly, teasingly asking, “Scared?”
Finished
His fingers gently traced Mia’s check, settling on her alluring collarbone. As he caressed her, it felt like electric currents were traveling through her body, causing her face to flush a deep red that spread over her entire body, like a ripening cherry.
Her coy demeanor undoubtedly pleased Josh.
“Feeling it now?” Josh raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Mia inwardly cursed. She hadn’t expected Josh, who looked so refined on the surface, to be rotten on the inside. This guy is a complete scoundrel behind his polished facade.
“Josh, that’s enough, Mia gritted her teeth. I’m not a man; why are you relentlessly pursuing me like this?”
Josh was bewildered by her words.
“Of course you’re not a man. If you were, I definitely wouldn’t touch you.”
Mia looked at him incredulously, “Stop pretending. I saw you hugging a guy very intimately last time; you were so close. Are you telling me you’re not gay? Or are you bisexual, swinging both ways?”
As if she had uncovered the truth, Mia cursed, “Damn! That’s disgusting!”
Josh nearly burst into laughter at Mia’s wild accusations “We’ve been together, and you still can’t tell I’m straight? Looks like I didn’t try hard enough last night. Maybe we should continue here?” he suggested, his hot hand sneaking under her skirt.
Mia was horrified and quickly pushed his hand away, her voice tinged with desperation, “Don’t do this.”
Just then, Kenny scrambled up from the ground, banging furiously on the car window and shouting. “Josh, let Mia go! If you touch her, I won’t let you off!”
Josh paused, ignoring Kenny, and said to Mia, “You dont like it here? Then let’s go home and continue.”
With that, he efficiently tore off his tie and swiftly tied Mia’s hands.
“Behave, or I’ll take you right here,” Josh whispered threateningly into her ear.
Mia turned her face away, trying not to look at his infuriatingly smug expression.
Great, I’ve entangled myself with a real psycho. She thought despairingly.
Josh gently patted her head, “That’s better.”
He then confidently opened the car door.
Seeing him emerge, Kenny’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “What did you do to Mia?”
Josh, with a hint of scorn, replied, “What I do with my woman is none of your business.”

The words “my woman” stung Kenny deeply.
He raised his hand to strike Josh again.
Josh glanced at him coldly, his eyes venomous. “Wasn’t he beating earlier enough for you?”
Finished
Kenny froze, unable to move. He watched helplessly as Josh got into the Maitrise, which quickly started up and sped away with a burst of exhaust,
Mia adjusted herself and sat up straight.
Take me back to school.”
“We’re going home to finish what we started,” Josh declared.
Mia was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Felix walked shoulder to shoulder along the road.
Marilyn had already been driven home. Lauren, seizing the chance to get some fresh air and digest her meal, walked silently with Felix until they reached a bridge.
Agentle breeze fluttered through Lauren’s hair as she stood by the bridge, looking down at the flowing
river below, her mood very different from the last time she stood there.
That day, she had been utterly despondent, almost jumping off the bridge.
“Mr. Brooker, do you remember this place?” Lauren asked with a hint of emotion. “If it hadn’t been for meeting you here that day, “I might have been dead.”
She turned to Felix, her expression sincere, “I really can’t thank you enough. You’ve been a lifesaver.”
Felix looked at her tenderly, ‘Do you remember what I told you that day?”
Lauren thought for a moment, “You said life is like a play, and sometimes adding an audience can change the plot. I wanted to see what your life would turn out to be if you didn’t end it that day.”
She paused, then continued, “I didn’t believe you then. I said my play was already ruined, nothing left to watch.”
Felix’s normally stern face broke into a gentle smile, his expression warm in the night. That’s not necessarily true. The best parts often come at the end. Look, you’ve survived the hardest times; now your can enjoy a happy life.”
