She grabbed her glass of water and downed it in large gulps.

Everyone knew how deeply these kinds of shows could corrupt their audiences, especially when it cto women with overactive imaginations.
After finishing their meal, they cleaned the kitchen together, washing the dishes until everything sparkled.
It was not even seven yet, so Andrew thought briefly before suggesting, Ms.
Rhodes, since its your first tvisiting, how about I show you around? Lauren hesitated, looking conflicted.
Maybe another time, Dr.
Lloyd.
I really need to head back.

Its not about you.
Its... my situation.
She sighed and added, Lately, I cant stay out too late.
Other than work or business, Im expected to go hright after my day ends.
Andrew did not press further and simply nodded, Alright, letwalk you out then.
Lauren smiled brightly.
Sure.
The two strolled through the courtyard and out the iron gate, walking all the way to Moonlit Sanctuarys main entrance.
There, a group of bodyguards from the Rhodes family were already waiting.
As soon as Lauren approached, the door of the first car opened, and a middle aged man in tactical gear stepped out.
Miss, the man greeted.
Lauren nodded.
Lets go.
She climbed into the car but not before flashing Andrew with a warm smile and waving goodbye.
Andrew waved back, but his gaze caught the man lowering the car window and giving him a cold, mocking smirk.
Andrew remained expressionless.
He recognized the man it was Jerry, the Rhodes familys elite fighter.
Chapter 316 Jerry had never hidden his disdain for Andrew.
Frankly, Andrew did not care enough to act friendly either.
Inside the moving car, Laurens demeanor turned icy.
Jerry, didnt I make it clear you didnt need to pickup? Sitting stiffly in the passenger seat, Jerry responded without emotion.
This was all Mrs.
Rhodes instruction.
Lauren clenched her jaw.
So what? My mother sent you to spy on? Jerry did not deny it.
Miss, you know full well that youre engaged.

Miss, theres something Ive wanted to say a long time, youd think was overstepping. The thinikintthougha rearedg content is on novelenglish.net! But today, III say it, even if it angers you you should cut ties with Andrew.
Laurens voice hardened.
And if I dont ? Jerry glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
If you dont, the next person involved wont be me.
Itll be your mother, the matriarch of the Rhodes family herself.
He paused before continuing in a grave tone.
Mrs.
Rhodes personally cdown from Blumedale members of the main familys familys security team to Jayrodale. I trust you understand the weight behind this move.
Lauren huffed, turning to look out the car window.
She refused to say another word, her expression stormy as the car sped through the evening streets.
