Chapter 74: Chapter 74

I shook my head with amusement, Asher being Asher.

Wyatt blankly stared at Asher with glazed eyes and got into the passenger seat immediately. It was as if he had expected Asher to make such a move.

I calmly stood back and waited for Arya to get into the car after Wyatt.

Immediately, Wyatt's blank gaze fell on me. Even though his expression was calm, somehow it sent chills down my spine, making me shiver.

Although Wyatt hadn't expressed himself, I knew he was using his gaze to tell me to enter the car.

I nodded seriously, got into the car, and sat next to him. Arya sat next to me joyfully, causing me to be in between the siblings.

I took a faint glimpse at the car; its exterior was glistening black, and its interior was designed in black.

All of Wyatt's things were always colored black, which revealed how much fondness he had for the color.

If staring at the car outside made one's lips part in astonishment, being inside the car gave one a heavenly and ethereal feeling…

The sudden touch by Wyatt interrupted my thoughts.

I froze slightly when Wyatt grabbed my hand, interlocked our fingers, and began to stroke my hand with his thumbs.

As if Wyatt couldn't wait to show us off, he placed our interlocked hands on his lap.

Upon seeing our interlocked hands, Arya, who had been taking pictures of herself in Asher's car, paused.

She propped her head and winked at me with interest before crossing her fingers with delight. Her gaze was very deep and meaningful.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes in amusement. I hope the moon goddess will soon send Arya's mate to her, so she'll stop noticing other couples.

I could feel shyness creeping over me due to Wyatt's actions. To snap out of it, I decided to converse with Arya to distract my attention. “What's with the car?” I leaned toward Arya and whispered next to her ear.

Arya sighed dramatically. “Price not known. Estimated to be worth over 800 million. Created by Big Brother Wyatt's company. There's only one of it in the whole world and big brother owns it. Even Alpha Oswald can't make him create another.” Arya explained seriously. Her eyes were filled with twinkling light, and she touched the car seat with fondness.

My jaw dropped in shock. Although I knew this car was worth a lot, I didn't expect it to be over $800 million. Just how rich was Wyatt? “800 million?”

“En. It comes with so many advantages, and it has many new functions that other cars don't. Moreover, it's so kept by him that he won't let us see it. It's all thanks to you; I'm enjoying this.” Arya explained calmly.

Arya suddenly leaned toward me and whispered next to my ear seriously, “So whenever I fail my exam in the future, I'll come to you to plead for help. You can't ignore me then, sister-in-law.” Arya blinked her big, doe eyes at me cutely.

Seeing Arya's cute expression, a part of me wanted to agree immediately, but a part of me knew that I might leave the pack in less than a month, depending on when the third trial would be held. Since Oswald is crazy, I have to fail his third trial on my own.

Moreover, I don't know what Wyatt thought of me; can I be the one to change Wyatt's mind? I parted my lips to reveal the truth to Arya. “I…”

Before I could say anything, Wyatt tugged my hand slightly, causing me to crash into his embrace immediately.

My eyes widened, and I tried to sit up, but Wyatt's big hands, which fell on my back firmly, locked me down and prevented me from being able to move an inch.

I raised my head to stare at Wyatt for clarification.

Wyatt's index fingers fell on my lips immediately; it was as if he knew I wanted to tell the truth to Arya, so his actions were intended to stop me.

I blinked in confusion. Since Wyatt knew there'd be nothing between us, then why was he hoarding me? I'll never understand.

I sighed and decided to follow his lead.

Since he doesn't want me to reveal anything yet, I let Wyatt be, since I can't act too indifferent or Arya might find us suspicious.

Moreover, I'm in my crush's embrace, which is the sweetest feeling ever; I don't want to leave. I looked out through the window to…

“Oh no!” The sudden gasp and shocked cry inclined me to raise my head and stare at Asher, the culprit. Did something happen?

Asher leaned back on the chair and feigned a sad, bawling expression. He touched his chest gingerly. “Oh my. All because of a car, I got my wife snatched.” Asher cried out in a grieving tone. He stared at Wyatt and me with an accusing look.

Wyatt's expression turned cold, and he coldly glared at Asher and said, “Keep talking nonsense. I won't hesitate to throw you out.” Wyatt coldly responded.

Asher coldly glared at Wyatt before turning to me. He grabbed my hand and placed a soft kiss on it. “I'm sorry, babe. Just stay in that bad man's arms in the meantime; I'll be there to get you soon.” He whispered with a smirk before turning to the driver. “But in the meantime… Turn on the music. I wanna dance.” Asher commanded gleefully.

My jaw dropped. Asher is getting crazier.

The meal at the restaurant was fun. Moreover, Wyatt spoke for me, so I ended up getting a holiday—throughout the week, including the weekend—from Asher, so I could have a proper rest. Rex also let me off, so I ended up having a rare holiday.

“Let's get our winnings before we leave for home,” Arya advised me gleefully while packing her things in the bag. Since it's Saturday, Arya decided not to attend class.

I planned to attend class in the first place, but upon thinking about my winning, I decided to ditch class as well. “Sure,” I replied and played with my phone while waiting for Arya.

Soon, Arya was done with her packing. Arya tilted her head when she saw me sitting carefree with no intention to pack. “You're not leaving?” She inquired curiously.

“I might return to class if I'm early.” I quickly spun out a lie. Arya nodded, indicating that she believed my words.

Through Arya's guide, we left the school hostel for the betting center, and it didn't take long for us to arrive at the center.

The betting center is a company that operates all the gambling centers in the power axis pack.

Contrary to the quiet and deserted betting center, I had thought we'd be meeting. Currently, there are a lot of people in front of the betting center, and they appear to want to cause trouble.

A grim frown surfaced on Arya and my face immediately.

‘We can't agree; we got all our money ripped away from us. These people tricked us from the beginning. There's no way Maia didn't know how to fight.

Of course, she took 30 rogues on her own. What type of beginner act is that? It has obviously been preplanned. You tricked us.

We want a refund. There's no way we will let go!

Give us our money! Give us our money.’
