Chapter 561
Aria raised her eyebrows and fished out the car keys from her pocket, her tone icy. “Roll down the window.”
Flynt held out his hand, palm upturned in a commanding gesture. “Hand me the keys.”
Aria tossed the keys over with an impassive expression.
Flynt caught the keys, his fingertips slowly tracing their surface as his lips curled into a smirk. “Still warm from your touch.”
Aria’s killing intent intensified.
Flynt sensed it but pretended not to notice, casually tapping the car window beside him.
The window rolled down as he handed the keys to the bodyguard. With a chilling smile, he said, “If Ms. Saxon’s car gets so much as a scratch, you can say goodbye to your hands and feet.”
His low, amused voice sent chills down the spine.
The bodyguard froze, taking the keys with deference. “I’ll protect Ms. Saxon’s car with my life!”
The backseat formed a secluded compartment.
With her view blocked, Aria turned to gaze out the window, deliberately avoiding what lay ahead.
Flynt leaned against the car door, propping his chin on one hand while his gaze shamelessly raked over her face. “I could let Tristan Todd off the hook,” he said.
Aria didn’t turn around. “Your terms?”
Flynt looked at her and said, “You’ll take over what he left unfinished-continue that experiment.”
Aria turned her head, her lips curling in a sardonic smirk.
Flynt chuckled darkly, his gaze inscrutable. He said in a low voice, “Ms. Saxon, you care about too many people. Once someone has vulnerabilities, they become easy to threaten.”
Aria’s eyes turned glacial. “You can try me.”
Their eyes met in a silent standoff; neither flinched.
Flynt was the first to break the silence, his tone relaxed, as if chatting with an old friend. “I’ll be staying in Huthailia for two years.”
He leaned in, lowering his voice to a husky whisper. “Ms. Saxon, I’m confident you’ll end up coming with me, one way or another.”
Aria retorted, “You want me to develop something against my own people? Do you really think that’s even possible?”
Flynt smirked, “So you’re saying, Ms. Saxon, you’d join me as long as the research isn’t targeting Huthailia?”
Aria shot back with a cold smirk, “I might consider it… if you were dead.”
Flynt shrugged. “Then I’m afraid you’ll be sorely disappointed, Ms. Saxon.”
Aria’s expression turned icy. “If you so much as touch anyone close to me, I guarantee you won’t live to see another day.”
Flynt chuckled, his voice tinged with dark amusement. “Don’t worry, Ms. Saxon. The people around you don’t interest me in

the slightest. You’re the only one who interests me.”
Flynt flashed a sly smile. “We’ve got all the time in the world.”
Aria couldn’t be bothered to respond to his nonsense any longer.
The car pulled into Mayen Garden, and the security guard waved them through without so much as a question.
Aria’s eyes darkened.
Flynt explained casually, “Don’t get me wrong-I live here too. Following you was just so I could see you in person. This won’t happen again.”
Aria said with hidden anger, “You’d better keep your word.”
***
Owen had arrived some time earlier and was waiting in his car for Aria.
Seeing Aria’s car pull in, Owen stepped out of his vehicle.
Instead of Aria, a man Owen had never seen before stepped out.
Owen looked toward the other car just as Aria stepped out.
“Madelyn,” Owen called softly.
He walked over and gently stroked the top of her head. “You alright?”
