Chapter 482 The Jealous Man
The agent turned to look at Seraphina, a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Seraphina lowered her head silently, not daring to say a word.
She thought to herself that she was definitely in trouble when they got back.
Margaret had solid evidence, so Rex was eventually detained.
However, it seemed like the Vaughan family pulled some strings behind the scenes, and Rex was only held for a short period.
Moreover, after investigating Rex's background, Margaret directly stopped the PR team and completely suppressed the news, ensuring not a single detail leaked out.
Seraphina sat in the car, cautiously glancing at Margaret beside her. After a while, she finally spoke up, "Thanks, Margaret."
"Remember this in the future. Always let your agent know where you're going, okay?" Margaret said calmly.
These matters weren't complicated for Margaret, so handling them didn't take much effort. However, what worried her was Seraphina's lack of vigilance.
"I know I messed up," Seraphina muttered. She had been lectured repeatedly all day.
"But why did you go to the bar alone?" Suddenly, Margaret seemed to remember something and turned to look at her.
"I... I just wanted to have some fun. Who knew something like this would happen?" Seraphina said, trying to hide her emotions.
Margaret understood but didn't press further. She looked down at her phone and noticed a missed call from William.
Margaret was taken aback. She had been so busy dealing with Seraphina's situation that she didn't even realize when William had called.
She intended to call back, but another call from the company came in, and she got caught up in other matters, eventually forgetting about William's call.
When she got home that evening, Margaret found William sitting alone on the couch, calmly watching TV.
"Hey, William, I'm back."
Margaret lazily approached, but William didn't pull her into his arms as usual. He just sat there, unmoving.
"Why didn't you answer my call?" William turned to look at Margaret, his expression somewhat cold.
Although Margaret had missed his calls before, she always called back eventually. Today was an exception.
Thinking about the past few days, William's frown deepened.
Hearing this, Margaret clapped her hands, realizing she had forgotten about it.
"I'm sorry, William. I forgot." Margaret wrapped her arms around William's, her tone a bit coquettish.
William suddenly grabbed Margaret's wrist, pulling her into his arms. "Who were you with today? Was it that prince bothering you again?"
Seeing William's expression, Margaret blinked and wrapped her arms around his neck, deliberately saying, "His name is Zane."
Sure enough, at the mention of that name, William's expression darkened even more, and his grip tightened.
"William, you're hurting me," Margaret pouted, wincing in pain.
William loosened his grip slightly, but his intense gaze remained fixed on Margaret's face.
Seeing William's rare expression, Margaret felt a mischievous urge to tease him.
"What if I really went to see Zane?"
William didn't respond, but his dark expression revealed his inner turmoil.
"Margaret," William's voice was low and dangerous.
Margaret tilted her head and smiled, "How could I? I was at the company all day, dealing with Seraphina's situation. When I saw your call, I got caught up in other things and forgot."
Seeing no reaction from William, Margaret's eyes sparkled, "Mr. Fisher, are you jealous?"
"Yeah, I'm jealous," William replied without hesitation, surprising Margaret.
"I don't like you being around other men, especially..."
Before William could finish, Margaret leaned down and kissed him on the lips.
"Mr. Fisher, I love you."
Margaret's eyes were bright as she looked at her reflection in William's eyes, speaking softly, "It's always been just you."
This side of Margaret was incredibly captivating.
William raised an eyebrow, wrapping his arm around her waist. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Margaret's lips, seemingly expecting something.
Seeing this, Margaret smiled and leaned in closer. She intended to give him a light kiss like before, but William cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
The room's temperature gradually rose.
Just as they were lost in their passionate kiss, Margaret's phone rang, breaking the moment.
Margaret came back to her senses, her eyes dazed, and she panted, "I... I need to take this call..."
Pushing away a clearly unsatisfied William, Margaret picked up her phone and saw it was Xavier calling.
"Grandpa!" Margaret answered excitedly.
On the other end, Xavier's cheerful voice came through, "My dear granddaughter, I've booked a flight to Ravenford for tomorrow."
"Really? That's great!" Margaret's face lit up with a smile, "I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow."
"Alright." Xavier hung up, clearly in a good mood.
"Grandpa's coming to Ravenford tomorrow," Margaret said, putting down her phone and adjusting her clothes, turning to William.
"Okay," William nodded lightly, "I'll go with you."
The next morning, Margaret woke up early. Today was the day Xavier was returning, and she had been too excited to sleep the night before, thinking about seeing him.
"I'll go with you to pick up Grandpa," William said as he opened the door. He knew how important Xavier was to Margaret, and out of respect for her, he held Xavier in high regard as well.
Margaret smiled and nodded, "Great, Grandpa will be happy to see you."
Xavier had always had a good impression of William, and seeing their relationship grow stronger would surely put him at ease.
On the way to the airport, Margaret's face was lit with a smile, her tone light, "Grandpa's been on this world tour for quite a while. I wonder how he's been enjoying it."
Margaret had been raised by Xavier and had a deep bond with him. Now that he finally had time to travel, she hoped he had a wonderful experience.
"You can ask him all about it when we see him," William said, listening to Margaret's endless chatter, raising an eyebrow teasingly.
