“How did it go at the meeting today?” Be asked, staring at her brother keenly.


    He had his back turned against her, so she couldn’t see his face clearly. He was standing in front of the dressing mirror as he pulled off his shirt, leaving his body with just a white singlet.


    Furthermore, he made his way to the closet with his shirt, looking like he didn’t hear his sister the first time, and she just rolled her eyes from where she stood, near the couch.


    “I heard you got into a heated argument with Brandon. How serious was it that you both had to send sir Antonio to the hospital?” She blurted out.


    “Just because he was trying to put you both in order.” She continued.


    There are hints of frustration in her tone, but that was less concerning for Don.


    “And who told you?” His voice came out cold after a few seconds of silence.


    He walked back to the bed as he sat on it quietly, making Be walk towards the couch that was nearest to the bed.


    “Well, let’s just say that us called to inform me about your unruly behavior.” Be paused to observe his facial expression.


    “I mean, you guys gave him a heart attack that sent him to the hospital. What the hell came over you?” She continued to scold.


    Don didn’t reply to her immediately, as his gaze was roaming round the floor for a while before he lifted it to stare at his sister.


    “Brandon is finding his way to my suspicions.” He mumbled, but audible for Be to hear.


    Somehow, those words found their way to calm Be down, and she didn’t hesitate to rece the pissed off look on her face.


    “What do you mean?” She asked, looking uncertain.


    “I suspect that he has something to do with what happened at the party and even might be the mastermind of it.”


    “What did he do to make you think that way?” Be asked, the tone behind her voice was bing cold.


    “I can’t say, Be. But, I will definitely get to the root of this…” Don paused for a second to stare into thin air before he brought his gaze back to his sister.


    “And if he is the mastermind, he will face the consequences of his action.” He continued with his face wrinkled up in a deep frown.


    “I would also like to be a part of his suffering. Either him or any other person who nned that attack.” Be spat out, folding her knuckles into a tight fist on the couch.


    She was more determined to punish whoever was behind the attack, and couldn’t wait for the culprit to be caught.


    There was silence in the room, with the both of the siblings having vengeful thoughts on how to deal with their new-found enemy.


    A soft knock on the door diverted their attention to it for a few seconds before they stared back at each other, with Be having a questioning look and Don’s facial expression was neutral as usual.


    The door opened shortly, revealing Lillian with a tray of food. She halted at the door as her face expressed a little surprised look, and it was because she saw Be in the room.


    “I see you’re probably having a discussion here, so I’ll just take my……”


    “No, you should stay.” Be cut her off even before she could finish.


    “We were done anyway, so I’ll take my leave instead.” She went further to say and stood up.


    “I will leave now.” She added and walked her way through to the door.


    Getting to the door, she halted and shed Lillian a quick smile before leaving the roompletely.


    “What are you doing here?” Don scoffed out, immediately his sister left the room.


    “I brought you breakfast” Lillian replied simply, walking further into the room.


    “On whose permission is that?” He grumbled and rested back on the headboard.


    “Thest time I checked, a wife doesn’t need any permission to serve her husband’s food.” Lillian nced at him as she set the food on a small stool.


    He let out another loud scoff.


    “Please, have your breakfast.” She added when she was done.


    Don’s gaze became intense on her and it made her ufortable.


    “I figured out you didn’t have breakfast, so I decided to bring it here myself.” She exined, looking down to the floor.


    He didn’t say anything for a while, and she wondered what he could be thinking at the moment. She couldn’t dare to nce at him, having the fear that his gaze was probably on her.


    Without a word, he adjusted the stool close to himself and uncovered the te in the tray.


    A small smile appeared on Lillian’s face when she observed this and, certain his gaze was no longer on her, she lifted hers.


    She watched him take a few bites of toast as he sipped from his tea. He paused for a moment and nced at her.


    “What are you still doing here?” He asked, munching on his bite carefully.


    “Umm, I…..” Lillian stuttered, but suddenly ran out of words.


    “You should leave.” He chipped in and she nodded frantically.


    “Yeah.” She agreed with a smile which was obviously fake.


    She nced around the room for a while, as if searching for something, before she made her way towards the exit.

    “Have you seen Eva since you arrived?”


    “Yeah, I did when I got back this morning, but who cares?” Be nced at Lillian and shrugged out as they sipped from their ss of blueberry wine.


    She and Lillian were sitting on the stool chairs in the bar as they discussed.


    Lillian heaved a low sigh and turned her face away from Be. She had been wondering where Eva was because her unseen self was unlike her.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    She was certain she wasn’t in Don’s room when she brought food, and the fact that Be didn’t know a thing made her even wonder more.


    “Isn’t it time for you to visit Rex? I mean, he should be awake by now, right?” Lillian inquired, striking another conversation.


    “Yeah, I wanted to, but my brother volunteered to go instead, so I will just goter in the evening, anyway.” Be sipped from her ss of juice.


    “Really?” Lillian’s brow raised in surprise.


    “Yes.” Be nodded slightly.


    Just then, Don climbed down the stairs and their discussion paused as they watched him walk out of the house with Draco behind him.


    Lillian continued to stare at the door even when Don hadpletely walked out of the house, and only stopped when Be let out a cough.


    “Do you want to tag along? You might go with my brother, you know.” She suggested after she was sure to have gotten Lillian’s attention.


    “Definitely love to.” Lillian responded with a nod.


    “Then, I should talk to him and….”


    “Don’t worry, I’ll ask him myself and make sure he agrees.” Lillian chipped in with confidence, not giving room for Be toplete her statement.


    Be stared at her with amusement on her face for a while and chuckled out, “Go girl!”


    She must confess she admired this side of Lillian and hoped her brother would agree to her demand.


    With eyes fixed on Lillian, she watched as she carried a box that had been with her all along and walked out of the house in a haste.


    Lillian got outside and, luckily for her, Don was still outside, standing near a ck Porsche car, though the side of the car was opened already.


    He was on a call, but he hung up when she approached him and his brows raised at her.


    “I realized you were going to visit Rex, so I thought I shoulde with you.” She exined immediately, gazing at him innocently.


    “I’m not going there to be a burden to you, I just wanted to see how he is doing, that’s all.” She added when the questioning look didn’t leave his face.


    He didn’t say a word and went into the car to sit, closing the door back afterward.


    Lillian stood rooted to her standing position, unsure of what she should do next. She didn’t know whether he agreed or not, and she wondered if she should just go back to the house.


    “If you’re just going to stand there, then I’m better off on my way.” Don uttered from the window, and her face lit up instantly.


    She rushed to the other side of the car and got into it, after which Draco drove out of thepound.


    She kept on ncing at Don as she held her purse and the box in her hand closely to her on the seat.


    “Do you want to say something?” Don asked, noticing her nces.


    She chuckled nervously and lowered her gaze to avoid his eyes, which were now staring at her.


    “Well, I want to express my sincerest gratitude for making my night. You helped to ease my lonelinessst night, and I’m grateful for that.”


    Don scoffed out but didn’t say anything as he just turned to face the windowpletely with his eyes closed. His whole body was resting on the seat.


    Draco nced at her from the rearview mirror, but it was only for a second before he went back to face the road.


    “You might believe it’s nothing, but trust me, it meant something to me. And, that part of youst night is something I hope to see more of.”


    This time, a small smile crawled to his face, though it didn’tst before a in expression reced it.
