?Chapter 896:


    Within a week, the Watts family in Critport faced serious jeopardy. The reason behind it all was that Aphrodite, the Watts family’s daughter, had offended Ellie and Baylee!


    Bayleey on her stomach, stretched out on the bed, her nightgown pulled up to her shoulder de, revealing her delicate back. The only issue with her back was the injury.


    Whenever Marvin glimpsed the wound, his eyes betrayed his anger. Luckily, Baylee faced away from him and couldn’t witness his unsettling expression. With ointment in hand, Marvin carefully treated Baylee’s wound.


    Ding Dong!


    Baylee nced at her phone on the nightstand and remarked, “Marvin, someone sent you a message.”


    “Could you check it for me?”

    “He called you a temptress, and you think he wasplimenting you?” Marvin set aside the ointment.


    “A temptress must be attractive,” Baylee reassured herself.


    Marvin chuckled at her response.


    “Are you mocking me?” Baylee sat up, her nightgown draping over her skin.


    Her current appearance was undeniably enticing. Marvin swallowed nervously.


    “I’m notughing at you,” Marvin assured her, kissing her gently. “I just find you truly beautiful and clever.”


    “Is your grandpa using you of disregarding the Watts family’s plea for help?” Baylee inquired.
