Chapter 193
Chapter 189
Without a word , Hudson strode up to Thorn and slapped him hard across the face . Thorn froze , the burning pain flaring up on his cheek . He turned his head and met Hudson’s narrowing behind the mask .
“ Are you having a death wish ? ” Thorn snarled .
Hudson glanced at Amber , who shot him a thumbs – up .
“ Mr. Noir , ” Hudson said coolly , “ your guys must be blind , daring to lay a hand on me . What , I can’t come to you for a little justice ? ”
As he spoke , Alex tossed the guy right at Thron’s feet .
Thorn’s face fell as he saw his men dumped at his feet . He’d told them again and again to steer clear of that dog Hudson , but they just had to go and provoke him anyway .
‘ Useless idiots , always screwing things up , ‘ he cursed angrily in his mind .
“ Hudson , I admit I was wrong about this , ” Thorn said , glancing at the girl behind Hudson . ‘ Is that Amber ? ‘ he wondered to himself .
Not bad – looking at all . Guess good looks really do run in the family .
“ Sienna , who’s that guy ? ” Amber asked warily , her eyes fixed on Thorn .
He was the one who’d tried to kidnap her .
“ Just some nobody . Let’s go home , ” Sienna said , her voice calm but firm .
“ Okay . ” Amber looped her arm through Sienna’s , shot Thorn a defiant glare , then let out a cold huff and lifted her chin proudly .
Hudson thought to himself that maybe Amber’s spoiled ways weren’t so unbearable after all .
“ Mr. Noir , see you around .” Hudson gave a casual wave .
Thorn stared after her as she walked away , a sly glint in his eyes . Now that he had some leverage , everything was about to get a whole lot easier .
Suddenly , he grabbed Hudson’s shoulder . “ Hudson , you think you can just slap me and walk away like nothing happened ? ”
Hudson shot him a wicked grin , totally unfazed . “ Sienna is someone I respect . If you want to mess with her , you’ll have to go through me .”
Thorn was speechless . ‘ Is this guy for real ? ‘ he thought .
“ You and him aren’t on bad terms anymore ? ” Sienna asked .
Amber , who had been happily clinging to her sister’s arm , suddenly stiffened at the question . “ Sienna , I was never fighting with him . ” she protested .
The story about her and Hudson dates back to fifteen minutes ago .
After they’d taken down Thorn’s men , Amber , full of curiosity , asked Hudson if he wore a mask because he just didn’t look fierce enough .
That question really struck a chord with Hudson . And just like that , the two of them started chatting away .
Amber tried to cheer him up , saying he could always get some work done , then he wouldn’t have such a baby face and people might actually find him
scary .
But Hudson just shook his head , saying he couldn’t mess with what his parents gave him .
Amber wasn’t done yet . She started tossing out even more ideas , like putting on makeup , drawing scars on his face , making himself look disfigured , or

even getting some tattoos .
Sienna listened as Amber , with the most innocent look on her face , described the most ruthless ideas . She fell silent for a trement , Ste wat couldn’t imagine Hudson actually getting excited about any of this .
“ Sienna , can I talk to you for a moment? Is this a good time ? ”
Wayne stood by the brightly lit shore , his gaze deep and unwavering . People brushed past him as they disembarked from the boats , but he didn’t spare them a glance . In his eyes , there was only Sienna .
“ Amber , you head back first , ” Sienna said, glan
at her sister .
She turned to Hudson . “ Hudson , thanks for
tonight . Let me treat you to dinner sometime as a thank you . ”
“ Come on , Sienna , don’t flatter me like that , ” Hoplied with a playful grin .
After speaking , Hudson stretched and lazily leaned against a nearby pole , making it obvious he had no intention of leaving . He was clearly sticking around to watch the show .
Wayne waited for a bit , but when he saw Hudson still lounging around without a care showing clear irritation .
“ Hudson , get lost , ” Wayne said , his voice low and firm .
in
the world , he started to get annoyed and strode over , his face
‘ Is he blind or just deaf ? ‘ Wayne thought to himself . ‘ Can’t he see I need to talk to Sienna ? ‘
‘ Does this guy not know how to read the room at all ?! Wayne fumed .
Hudson just grinned . “ What’s the problem ? Is this your private territory ? Can’t I stand here ? ”
“ You ! ” Wayne snapped , barely holding back his anger . ‘ He’s totally doing this on purpose . ‘
“ Sienna , let’s head over to that restaurant . I need to talk to … ” Wayne started , but before he could finish , Hudson shamelessly butted in , grinning . “ What , you can’t say it here ? Why all the mystery ? ”
“ None of your damn … ” Wayne started to curse , but quickly switched it up . “ It’s none of your concern , Hudson . Just get the hell out of here . ”
