I remained in low spirits even after I saw As.


    He noticed immediately and pulled me into his arms. He looked down at my face in concern and asked, "What''s wrong? Why do you look so down?"


    I nced at him and said, "Can you reach Jared?"


    "I still can''t reach him. What''s going on?"


    I exined Ivanna''s situation to him. "Find a way to contact Jared. Tell him about this situation. It wasn''t right for him to just leave without a word, especially with Ivanna in this state. I can totally understand why she reacted that way," Iined to As in a displeased tone.


    He nodded. "I''ll let you know the minute I get any news from him. But it looks like you can''t stop letting someone else''s business affect your mood, huh?"


    I didn''t like the way he said that. I reproached him coldly, "Is this just someone else'' business? Is Ivanna just a random person to me? She''s worried about me for many years. I can''t just stand by and do nothing about her situation!"? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    I was upset as I thought about what Ivanna had said. But I couldn''t deny it, and I was trying to think about whether I had taken Trinity''s side in this matter.


    But in fact, I had favored Ivanna and Jared''s rtionship all along.


    As, who saw that I was still gloomy, sulkily instructed the driver to take us out for dinner.


    I didn''t object because I didn''t want to bring my emotions home. I needed some time to process things outside.


    But the car hadn''t traveled far when the driver said to As, "Sir, that car is following us again."


    As just grunted and made a phone call. "Bring that person to me."


    I instinctively looked behind us and saw a ck sedan following our car.


    As pulled me close. "Don''t pay any attention to it."


    When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led us to a private room. After cing our orders, Dn brought someone in.


    I was surprised to see someone I knew. It was Kimberly from the Terrell family in Bourdamun.


    As Kimberly entered, her eyes locked onto As''s face.


    I had seen that expression before. Kimberly had the same look on her face when she saw As for the first time in Bourdamun.


    As nced at her coldly. "Speak. Why are you following me?"


    Kimberly lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised them again Her mouth twitched as she looked at As. Her eyes were filled with grievances, but there was a hint of hostility in her gaze toward me.


    It looked like she was openly dering enmity against me.


    "You''ve been following me for several days. Why?" As''s tone was icy.


    "I... I just wanted to see... you. I didn''t mean you any harm!" Kimberly replied under As''s pressing gaze.


    "If I ever see you again, you won''t be as lucky as you were today. Escort her out, Dn." As''s handsome face was exceptionally cold, and his tone brooked no doubt. He stared directly at Kimberly with a look that would make anyone shiver,


    "Why are you treating me like this? What does she have..." Kimberly began to say.


    "Get out." As''s voice was not loud, but it was incredibly scary. His eyes also revealed a murderous intent.


    Kimberly shivered involuntarily, then


    red at me resentmentfully. Before


    she could say anything else, Dn grabbed her arm and dragged her out.


    She gave me a death re while struggling to free herself from his grip.
