Almost Exposed!

Observing Scarlett's cold expression, Theodor couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He glanced at Xander, "I do have feelings for a certain woman, but unfortunately, she is already married to you, my friend!" However, the well-crafted words twisted in his throat, leaving him unable to utter them. Damn!

"Hahaha... Come on, man, are you messing with me?" Theodor forced a laugh, attempting to alleviate the awkwardness that filled the room. "Since when did I have a girlfriend? No, there's no woman in my life because the woman I cared for is now happily married to someone else..."

A shadow fell over Scarlett's face as she shot Theodor a piercing glare, silently warning him, "Speak another word, and you're dead."

Theodor pressed his lips tightly together, swallowing hard to moisten his dry throat, looking at how scary Scarlett's face was at this moment.
