Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 427: Callie's expression crumbled instantly. Nyla's smile returned, sharp-edged and merciless. "Though that comparison might be unfair to dogs-at least they understand loyalty. You, however..." "How dare-" "Let me be crystal clear," Nyla interrupted, her fingers capturing Callie's chin in a vice-like grip. "Not everyone shares your desperate mindset. He's merely a man, one I've long since dismissed. Your obsession is yours alone." Her voice carried the edge of a blade.

"Contain your poisonous rhetoric, or I'll demonstrate what true malevolence looks like." Nyla released her grip and strode away, leaving Callie nursing her jaw. As she watched Nyla's departure, her eyes caught the unexpected glimpse of ink adorning Nyla's back. The revelation gave her pause. Since when had Nyla gotten a tattoo? And that particular design...

Someone of that caliber? Now there's a connection worth pursuing." Her eyes sparkled with ambition, eager to navigate the waters of power and influence. After all, who could resist the allure of such a formidable alliance? Ethan and Callie's arrival was like a spark in a dry forest-every head in the room turned their way, and whispers erupted in an instant. "Even the CEO of Crestwave Group is here!

What's SKT Group up to, bringing in someone like him?" "You don't know?" "Know what?" "SKT Group has made quite a name for itself overseas. Their CEO is young, ambitious, and already a force to be reckoned with. Ulares is just one of their many stops for expansion." "That impressive? Looks like these three groups are forming a power triad." . . .
