Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 81: Blow-drying Hair

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the theater. After buying some essential movie snacks, they entered the screening room when it was time.

After seeing the film’s title, Cole Sinclair made a rare comment. "I thought you would have picked a romance movie."

Riley Perry said, "What’s so great about all that lovey-dovey stuff? Horror movies are way more interesting."

That’s right. After much deliberation, she had chosen a recently released horror film. And because it was a horror film, the screening room was mostly filled with couples.

A couple not far from them clearly heard her and couldn’t help but laugh. Usually, when couples watched horror movies, it was the man who had ideas about the woman. But with this pair, it seemed like the woman was the one with designs on the man.

But that gentleman didn’t look like the type to get scared and burrow into his girlfriend’s arms.

Cole Sinclair also began to suspect Riley Perry’s motives for choosing a horror movie. However, more than thirty minutes into the film, Riley’s eyes remained glued to the screen. She didn’t pretend to be scared and dive into his arms, nor did she take the opportunity to grope him. She just watched the movie with single-minded focus.

Cole Sinclair couldn’t hold back. "You’re... not scared at all?"

Riley Perry tilted her head. "You want me to be?" With that, her body went limp and she nestled into Cole Sinclair’s arms, whispering against his shoulder, "Mr. Sinclair, I’m so scared. Hold me."

Cole Sinclair didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her antics, but he still pulled her into his embrace. They leaned back in the spacious couple’s seat. Since they were in the last row, no one noticed their movements.

Riley Perry seized the opportunity to kiss the man’s Adam’s apple. Her hand slid up under the hem of his shirt, wrapping around Cole Sinclair’s firm waist.

In the small couple’s seat, the atmosphere instantly became charged. The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed. "Don’t mess around."

Riley Perry looked up at Cole Sinclair innocently. ’...Is it my fault you’re getting turned on?’

Losing his self-control for a moment, Cole Sinclair lowered his head and pressed his lips against Riley Perry’s.

On the screen, the female ghost in red walked up behind her enemy, extended her sharp claws, and swiped at the top of the man’s head. A series of terrified screams erupted in the theater.

But the two in the couple’s seat were lost in their kiss, unable to pull away.

...

Leaving the theater, Cole Sinclair carried the barely touched snacks and soda, a smile playing on his lips.

Riley Perry linked her arm through his free one, pursed her slightly swollen red lips, and looked up to ask him, "If you were the male lead, would you give up being human to become a ghost for the female lead in the end?"

Cole Sinclair said, "What about you? Would you give up your life for someone you love?"

Riley Perry tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and winked at him. "Me? Of course not! I can’t handle the bitterness of love!

Besides, that male lead was a playboy before he met the female ghost. He’d slept with way too many women. Even if I became a ghost, I would never fall for a guy like that!"

Cole Sinclair’s expression darkened again. He didn’t know why he was unhappy, but he just was.

Riley Perry wondered inwardly, ’My sugar daddy is so moody today. Don’t tell me he’s on his man-period?

In that case, I guess I’ll be merciful and make him a cup of brown sugar water when we get home.’

’Hahaha~’

Of course, no brown sugar water was made. They got home after ten, and Riley Perry washed up, ready for bed.

When Cole Sinclair came out of the guest bathroom after his shower, he saw an unread message on his phone: "President, we received an invitation from the Jacobs Family this afternoon. Old Master Jacobs is celebrating his 80th birthday."

’The Jacobs Family? Isn’t that Vernon Jacobs’s family?’

Although the Jacobs Family didn’t have as high a standing as the Sinclair Family in Kingsbridge, their influence was still considerable. Old Master Jacobs had been in politics. Although he was retired now, his connections remained. The Jacobs’ company was also very large, and the old master’s two sons and one daughter were all in the company, competing fiercely.

Vernon Jacobs was the illegitimate son of the second branch of the Jacobs Family. There were three such publicly acknowledged illegitimate children in the family, and who knows how many more were kept hidden.

Just then, Riley Perry came out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel. "I received an invitation to Old Master Jacobs’s 80th birthday party. Want to go have some fun?"

As he asked this, Cole Sinclair watched Riley Perry’s expression closely, afraid he might miss even the slightest reaction.

Riley Perry tossed the towel onto a chair and swung her legs onto the bed. "Sure. I don’t have any gigs lined up recently anyway, so it’d be nice to go out and have some fun.

I’m so sleepy. I’m going to bed."

’It was as if she didn’t even notice I said the Jacobs Family,’ Cole Sinclair thought.

"Your hair isn’t dry. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep like that."

He had already gotten up and resignedly gone to the bathroom to get the hairdryer. ’This little woman is getting better and better at enslaving me,’ he thought. ’Every day after her shower, she makes me dry her hair.’

She said she was sleepy, but after getting into bed, Riley Perry didn’t go right to sleep. Instead, she took out her phone and went online. Joanna had left her a message, as had Justin Locke. After reading what they sent, she locked the screen and tossed the phone aside.

She shifted, lying on her stomach at the edge of the bed with her long hair dangling down. The silk camisole she wore couldn’t hide her beautiful back, her fair skin completely flawless.

When Cole Sinclair came out, Riley Perry’s calves were swinging leisurely, so pale they seemed to glow.

The HUM of the hairdryer started. Riley Perry shifted again, resting her head on Cole Sinclair’s lap and closing her eyes in enjoyment. ’The trending topics about me online have already vanished,’ she thought. ’It’s obvious someone deliberately had them removed.

The company wouldn’t have done it, and neither would Cole Sinclair. It was most likely that mastermind who shot themselves in the foot and didn’t want my popularity to rise any further.’

Cole Sinclair had just showered and was only wearing a bathrobe and a pair of boxer shorts.

As he moved, his bathrobe fell slightly open, offering a tantalizing glimpse of his handsome abs that was somehow alluring.

Riley Perry wasn’t one to deny herself. She reached out and slipped her hand inside the man’s bathrobe. The hum of the hairdryer grew a notch louder, and in the next second, the stream of hot air went wide.

Riley Perry shifted her body, moving her head onto his thigh. She reached a hand behind her and gave his butt a firm smack. "SLAP!" "Dry my hair properly. No distractions."

A fiery sensation spread across his butt. It didn’t hurt, but it sent a rush of blood surging through Cole Sinclair...

The sound of the hairdryer continued, only now it would grow louder and softer, faster and slower, in time with its owner’s movements. Finally, with a THUD, its owner tossed it onto the floor.

...

「The next morning」

While taking an acting class at the company, Riley Perry received a message from Top Agent Joyce: "Quick, check the latest post from the Dragonspire Police’s official Weibo! They just released a police report about yesterday’s incident."

Riley Perry took a look. Not only had the Dragonspire Police issued a report, but she had also been tagged by the Morgan Group.

Morgan Group Official Weibo: "Official Statement: The individual identified as Mr. Hu in the Dragonspire Police’s post has no affiliation with our company whatsoever. He is not even a regular employee. Given that his criminal actions, carried out using our company’s name, have severely damaged our group’s image, our group has decided to file a lawsuit against him.

We would also like to thank actress Riley Perry for seeing through the impostor at a glance, thereby preventing damage to our company’s reputation. @RileyPerryOfficial.

We hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with Ms. Riley Perry in the future."
