Chapter 1460:


    Before she could even react, a renovation crew began carrying equipment into the vi next door under Sharon and Josie’s supervision. Sharon stood there giving instructions, insisting the water and electricity had to be fixed by the end of the day.


    They were moving in tonight. No excuses.


    The workers hesitated, saying the timeline was tight. Sharon didn’t even blink and offered triple pay on the spot.


    That settled it. The crew lit up instantly, working like they’d just been injected with pure energy, tools nking nonstop as they got to it.


    Once everything was arranged, Sharon and Josie jogged over to Ste, looking unbearably pleased with themselves.


    “Stel, we’re living next door from now on,” Sharon said proudly. “You cane over whenever you want. If William doesn’t like it, we’ll juste find you ourselves.”


    Josie nodded seriously. “Exactly. He can’t block us, right? He might be a big shot, but if he dares keep us out, I’ll expose him online.”


    Ste couldn’t helpughing, even as her chest tightened a little.


    She knew they hadn’t done this on a whim. They had bought a house here for her sake.


    This ce wasn’t cheap. Not even close.


    “Sharon… Josie… how much did this ce cost?” she asked softly.


    Sharon waved her hand. “Nothing. We got it for free.”


    Ste blinked,pletely confused.


    Josie quickly grabbed Sharon’s arm before she could say anything else and exined, “A friend of mine owns the ce. We didn’t have to buy it. Just fixing it up a bit. Stel, don’t worry about us.”


    Ste felt her eyes sting. She quickly looked away and wiped at them, unwilling to let them see anything.

    Right then, the low roar of an engine rolled in from the distance. A familiar ck Maybach pulled up at the vi entrance.


    William got out of the car. His gaze swept over Sharon and Josie standing at the door, then over the line of construction vehicles parked nearby. His lips pressed together, the expression on his face instantly cooling.


    Ste’s heart jumped. Afraid he might say something to them, she hurried over. “Sharon, Josie, you should go handle your things first. We’ll talkter.”


    Sharon looked like she wanted to say there was nothing to be afraid of, but Josie tugged her away before she could open her mouth.


    William didn’t ask a single question. He walked straight into the house, his expression stiff, heading upstairs without a word.


    Ste finally rxed, but the confusion lingered. Why was he still upset?


    She reyed yesterday’s event in her head and came up empty. She hadn’t done anything wrong. Did he really need to carry that mood into today?


    Back in her room, she tried to distract herself, flipping between thoughts, anything that didn’t circle back to William.


    What she didn’t know was that his anger had never been aimed at her.
