NOVPUBChapter 909: 440 Rui Snow_1 Chapter 909: 440 Rui Snow_1 The man was wearing a black coat, his figure tall and slender, his face cold and stern.
He carried about him the chill of the snowy day.
He held the young lady in his long arms, who rested in the crook of his elbow.
One was black, the other white.
One was cold, the other soft.
One was tall and slender, the other small and delicate.
A feast of extreme aesthetics, one could only exclaim what a perfect match they were.
...
The man lowered his gaze, his stern brows soft as a spring shower, “Are you okay?”
Aubree Groove quietly stepped aside and shook her head, “Why are you here?”
The man’s gaze dimmed, his magnetic voice deep and gentle, “I happened to be passing by when I heard you were shopping and thought I’d pick you up on my way back.”
Solene Moore’s surprised voice shattered the silence of the scene.
“Mr.
Rinto?”
The crowd stirred all at once.
At first, everyone was wondering what the relationship was between the stunning young man who popped up and Aubree Groove.
Turns out, it’s Mr.
Rinto.
They all peered at him seriously.
In the past, he was always described with words like ‘grim and ruthless’, which made everyone shun him and made children cry at night.
However, after a series of events, people’s views on him began to subtly shift.
The Rintos were no longer what they used to be.
Agave Rinto was not Pindo Rinto.
With talent, beauty, status, and unparalleled wealth.
These traits combined in a young man would be enough to drive anyone insane.
A video of him had received millions of ‘likes’ online, his name becoming synonymous with the ‘nation’s husband’.
Every day, many young people dreamt of marrying him.
The more people can’t get, the more they yearn.
Videos on the internet always feel distant, enhanced with filters and music, beautifying the person.
Perhaps they exaggerate reality, causing disappointment when people see the real person.
But as they observed the man before their eyes now, they felt that the videos had actually held back, failing to display even a tenth of the man’s handsomeness and dominance.
Lexi Benz recalled, “He…he is Agave Rinto?”
She had glimpsed him from afar at Madam Groove’s banquet, but there were many people present and the lighting was dazzling.
She didn’t get a very clear look.
That is, not as clear as the man in the flesh now, which was shocking.
Just hearing his name used to give people the shivers.
Lexi had heard many rumors about him.
When news of Aubree’s death was first reported, the arrows of suspicion and blame were pointed straight at Agave Rinto.
Although the pair are related by blood, they stood on opposing sides.
The position of the Mistress of the Rinto family was, after all, not easy to hold.
However, the tables turned unexpectedly.
Not only were the aunt and nephew not at odds, they were on very good terms.
With this powerful nephew as her backer, Aubree could do as she pleased in Pethkids.
Lexi Benz felt like she was about to vomit blood.
Just as she was full of resentment in her heart, the man glanced at her.
The man’s jet-black eyes looked as deep as an abyss.
From the depths emerged a hand that squeezed her throat within an instant, nearly suffocating her.
Fear rose like ivy up her back.
Lexi stepped back instinctively, stammering, “Mr….
Mr.
Rinto…”
“We should get going,” Agave Rinto withdrew his gaze and spoke softly.
Aubree Groove nodded, took Hellena and Titi by the hand, and turned to leave.
The crowd parted to make way as Aubree Groove and Agave Rinto left one after another.
When the figures disappeared, there were exclamations from the crowd.
Solene sighed, her voice hinting at a complaint.
“Lexi, why did you offend Aubree?
Isn’t this like offending the Rintos?
Who in Pethkids can cross the Rintos, it’s not worth drawing unnecessary hatred upon oneself.”
Especially when Agave Rinto was there at the scene.
Lexi’s face was looking really ugly, she retorted, “What are we scared of, the Rintos can’t possibly retaliate against us, we’re living in a law-abiding society, they wouldn’t dare even if they had the guts.”
Although she said this, her heart was churning, the look in Agave Rinto’s eye made her very uneasy.
“Miss Benz, do you still need this dress?” the salesperson holding the fishtail dress asked.
Lexi clenched her teeth, “Yes, of course, wrap it up.”
After all, the damage was already done.
She planned to wear this dress to the flower-viewing party next week.
If she couldn’t disgust others, it was still satisfying to annoy them.
Solene Moore looked in the direction that Aubree and the others had left and sighed, “Mr.
Rinto truly seems like a remarkable person; he’s been so deeply misunderstood by the world in the past.”
Lexi cast her a sideways glance, “What, are you falling for him?”
