"Edward!" Jeanne glared fiercely at him. If they didn't leave now, they would have to prepare to be burned to death inside.
Just as Jeanne was about to flare up, Edward suddenly lowered her head and kissed her deeply.
F*ck! Edward was crazy for doing such a thing at a time like this.
Jeanne pushed Edward away, but he bit her lip, staining them with blood. Then, he stood up and rushed into the burning banquet hall. Jeanne looked at Edward's back. Her eyes turned red. What was he going to do? Was he really going to risk his life like that?
She knew then that this fire was not an accident. It was a deliberate arrangement, and the reason why Edward asked her to accompany him was to stall for time...
It was clear he played her. Jeanne's vision was blurry as she watched his figure disappear.
