"Anything for you." The second those words escaped her lips, a sharp glint flashed across Matthew's eyes.

Matthew narrowed his eyes, darting it from Zoey's side profile and then to Scarlet who had a sudden change of personality. 'Are they flirting in front of me?' His right brow arched, perking his chin a little upward.

Due to her thick, colorful makeup, he could not help but frown the instant he laid his eyes on her full front. "How can you bully a delicate lady like Miss Tan? Everyone can vouch that she's not at fault here!"

It was as if they couldn't believe their eyes and ears that the ugly duckling had the guts to spout nonsense at Matthew.
