Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Meanwhile, at the CEO's office, Cedric tried his best to entertain the stone-cold beauty who didn't show any politeness and fondness towards him.

'It looks like this strikingly beautiful heiress is hard to tame. But I love to challenge myself,' Cedric thought to himself inwardly.

Marceline and Aunt Brianna were sitting side by side while facing Cedric on the opposite sofa. She maintained her cold expression as she hated Cedric, knowing he was a werewolf. She loathed his kind because werewolves were the ones who killed her parents.

If not for Kira's mission, Marceline would never like to be with Cedric. She already hated him even the first time she had set her eyes on him. She didn't like his arrogant aura. She could also tell that he was a sly man just like her Uncle.

And she confirmed her suspicion when Kira told her about the conversation between Marceline's uncle and Cedric.

As the saying goes– Birds of the same feathers flock together. Ronan Zhou and Cedric Morgan were the perfect living example for that passage.

'He is definitely NOT my type. Who gives him the confidence that I will like him?' Marceline thought to herself. She didn't bother hiding the displeasure in her eyes.

"What brings you here, Lady Marceline?" asked Cedric, pouring some tea on a cup. He offered the drink to Marceline, completely ignoring Aunt Brianna's presence. His focus was only fixed on the beauty in front of him, not minding the other person sitting beside her.

"You are so impolite Mr. Morgan, for just offering me a drink while ignoring my assistant," she bluntly said, making Cedric frown.

"By the way, I don't drink tea. You haven't asked this from my Uncle. Tsk," Marceline clicked her tongue, clearly provoking and testing Cedric's patience.

She almost said the words "I thought you would make me a woman, but you didn't even exert any effort to know what I like and I dislike." Fortunately, Marceline was able to restrain herself from saying that sentence.

On the other hand, Cedric was puzzled by Marceline's reaction. She was the one who came to visit him but she was acting very rude towards him.

As a hotblooded werewolf like him, he didn't have a long patience. If Marceline would keep on acting coldly he might not be able to control himself from teaching her a lesson.

He was already thinking of several ways how he would punish this woman and make her into submission. When the time comes, he would show her who was the Boss here.

'Just you wait Marceline Celeste Zhou. You will eventually surrender to me… For now, I need to be patient. Once you become my woman, I will punish you non-stop on my bed… You will even beg me… to take you.'

"Apology for my negligence. I didn't mean to ignore her. Miss, do you want a cup of tea?" Cedric asked Aunt Brianna, trying to put up with Marceline's overbearing attitude and rudeness.

"I'm not drinking tea either, CEO Morgan. But thank you for your offer," Aunt Brianna also declined the drink he was offering to her.

Cedric just shrugged his shoulders. He ended up drinking the tea.

"So… what's the reason for you coming here today, Miss Zhou?" This time Cedric's voice became stern and serious.

Marceline arched her eyebrow as she met his gaze. With too much bluntness, Marceline answered him.

"I will be frank with you, Mr. Morgan. I heard that you were the one who suggested a marriage proposal between the Zhou family and the Silvano Family. I am here to tell you that I am not interested in that. Besides, my Uncle also has a daughter. Just propose a marriage to her. Don't involve me with this nonsense."

Cedric let out a dry laugh, a cold glint flashing through his eyes. This woman was truly fearless and sharp– a wild vixen who was not easy to tame!

She was showing him some attitude and he felt somehow offended. No one tried to talk back to him like this.

"Hmm, is that so, Miss Zhou? Well, I think you are misinformed. You don't have a say with this. Your grandfather will be the one who can turn down the marriage proposal, not you."

Marceline clenched her teeth, narrowing her eyes at Cedric. Aunt Brianna tried to calm her down by squeezing her hand. They just needed to buy some time. Kira would be done soon. Marceline should maintain her cool until Kira gets back.

"No one can force me… even my grandfather." Marceline declared to Cedric, not backing down.

Cedric just let out another chuckle. Seeing Marceline's bravery, he had the urge to conquer her more. It would be satisfying to do that to someone like her.

"I like you, Miss Zhou. I think you are a perfect match for me. Since you don't want to marry a guy from the Silvano Family, then why don't you just choose me. I can be a great lover," Cedric said confidently while staring intently at Marceline.

Marceline had the urge to slap this guy and rip that smirk off his face. He was so full of himself.

She wondered if Kira was done exploring the building. She couldn't wait to leave this place as soon as possible. Cedric was already getting on her nerves. Aunt Brianna could also feel her.

Aunt Brianna was about to speak on behalf of Marceline when suddenly they heard the ringing sound of the emergency alarm.

Cedric's attention was immediately diverted. With a deep frown on his forehead, Cedric stood up and went to his table to call his staff. He cursed angrily as he found out that the alarm came from the underground dungeon. Was there an intruder?

Meanwhile, Aunt Brianna and Marceline exchanged meaningful glances. Both of them were thinking about Kira.

What happened? Was he in trouble? Did he get caught?

Cedric left the office immediately without saying a word to Marceline. His expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was pissed off and looked so mad.

Marceline also stood up, worrying about Kira. "Aunt Bri, let's find Kira!"
