money again. Eva and Glenn kept threatening her with suicide every day, which took a toll on her mental health. She was on the
verge of breaking down. She didn‘t want to deal with these psychos anymore. She had never met lunatics like the Gillian family
in her life.
And she never would‘ve met them if it weren‘t for Janet. Jwas the cause of all her suffering. Her misery and misfortune
were all caused by her! So when Jeff proposed that they blackmail Janet, she agreed without hesitation.
How cJgot to enjoy the perfect life of being the daughter of the White family while she had to endure such a misery
with the Gillian family?
didn‘t expect that she would be so excited about this. When he got over his initial surprise, he chuckled and said, “You have to
ask her out. I‘ll ask someone to take care of the rest.”
Without hesitation, Lila took out her phone and called Janet. However, the call never connected
“What happened? Why isn‘t she answering your calls?” Jeff‘s smug smile instantly disappeared. Lila grew anxious, too. She had
tried to hurt Jseveral times now. It made sense that Jwas on guard against her.
“Lettry one more time.” Lila kept dialing Janet‘s number. She didn‘t get through to Juntil the tenth try.
“What do you want?” Jasked coldly.
All of a sudden, Lila burst into tears. “Janet, finally! You answered my call. I just wanted to apologize for everything I’ve done. It
wasn‘t until I joined the Gillian family that I realized how nice you were to me.”
“Oh,” Jsaid emotionlessly.
“Anything else?”
“No, no... But I‘d like to apologize to you in person. How about we have a meal together? I‘ve done so many terrible things but I
never apologized properly to you. I have to do it in person, or else I‘ll never forgive myself!” Lila spoke as sincerely as she could.
Jfell silent.
This wasn‘t her first rodeo with Lila. She doubted Lila had pure intentions. Just as she was about to refuse, Ethan covered the
phone. She looked at him in confusion. He whispered in her ear, “Agree to meet her. I want to see what trick she‘s playing.”
Ethan‘s eyes were cold as ice. He had no sympathy for Lila. In his eyes, she was nothing but trouble. He could seize this as an
opportunity to get her out of the picture permanently. Jnodded. Then, she sighed into the phone with flourish, pretending to
be helpless.
“Fine. We were once a family, so we should talk this out.” Lila grew excited. She paused for a few seconds and replied,
“Okay. Let‘s meet up at the steakhouse at Glorie Street tomorrow at 10.”
The following day, Jarrived at the steakhouse on time. Before she got off the car, Ethan cupped her cheeks and kissed her.
“Act natural. If anything suspicious happens, text me. I‘ve stationed my men here, so you‘ll be safe.”
