Lilian froze.

Her fingers tightened around the phone until her knuckles turned white. “You’re blackmailing me.”

Outside the room, Ethan and Susan had already arrived.

Suddenly remembering something. Susan said, “Oh, just now Lilian said she wanted soup from Maison du Crabe. Ethan, you go in first. I’ll have someone feich it.

Alright.” Ethan nodded.

As he reached out and cracked the door open, he heard a shout from inside.

“Fine! Then you’ll go to jail too!”

Ethan’s expression darkened instantly. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Ethan frowned.

There was a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. “Who’s going to jail?”

Several of her friends had already asked if Eshan really bought the Verdant Villa for her.

Their voices had been full of envy.

But at this moment, the second she hugged his waist, Ethan’s body stiffened. He did not know why, but a strange resistance surged in his heart.

“Soon,” he replied. He gently removed her hands from around him.

She did not notice his change.

Still pitifully, she said, “I didn’t mean to make things hard for you. But the smell of disinfectant here is really unbearable.”

Ethan nodded. I know.”
