"Julian, are you serious?"
Caleb Green stared intently at the man, his brows slightly furrowed.
Julian Sia curved his lips coldly and replied indifferently, "What do you think? Her attitude gives every reason to doubt."
Upon hearing this.
Caleb Green was stunned. Indeed, didn’t he himself have so doubts as well? Why ask Julian then?
However.
If it really was her doing, Julian would probably act before he himself could do anything.
Just like Julian’s warning earlier, the Zheng family might face upheaval.
Caleb Green sighed on the surface, but deep down, there was a hint of fierceness.
If it was truly related to Grandma, then don’t bla him for being ruthless. After all, compared to her, his heart leans more towards his biological sister.
Just then.
Benjamin Green tugged at his clothing, staring with wide, expectant eyes.
"Brother, is Olivia really my real sister?"
The tender childish voice was filled with a mix of joy and nervousness.
Hearing this, Caleb Green silently looked at him.
Benjamin, unlike typical peers, wasn’t kept in the dark during their conversation, so it’s no surprise he asked this question.
Seeing his silence, Benjamin’s once-hopeful gaze gradually dimd.
Since he was young, he envied others who had sisters doting on them. That’s why he couldn’t resist pretending to fall that ti when he first saw Sister Olivia on the street.
That’s right, he did it on purpose that ti.
Hearing his brothers’ conversation earlier made him both happy and a bit sad. What if their sister was really the one Grandma discarded?
Mason Quinn smiled, patting his head, asking, "Would it affect your affection for her if she’s not related by blood?"
"No." Benjamin blurted out without thinking.
"Then there you go. As long as it doesn’t affect your feelings, what does it matter if you’re biologically related or not?"
Mason used his excellent persuasion skills, speaking earnestly.
Hearing this, Benjamin’s eyes lit up instantly. It seed to make sense.
However, he scratched his little head, sothing still felt off.
Watching his small head filled with big confusion, Mason and the others couldn’t help but laugh.
Even Claire Green and Julian Sia found it hard to hold back their laughter.
Benjamin looked at them, confused, "What’s so funny?"
"Nothing, you’re just so cute, Benjamin." Isabella Xyler squatted down and gave him a big hug, even kissing him in the end.
Suddenly kissed, Benjamin’s eyes widened in a daze.
After a while.
He pouted awkwardly, "Bella, it’s not right to kiss people randomly."
Who would’ve thought.
Hearing this, Isabella laughed even more joyfully, "I’m kissing my brother, what’s wrong with that?"
"It just doesn’t feel right."
The atmosphere in the lounge began to lighten up due to this exchange between the two, becoming less tense.
...
Early the next morning.
The topic "Manor of River Hills Stayed Lit Until Morning" quickly dominated the trending list.
It’s a place only known by na, rarely seen by anyone.
Now that it was lit up, how could it not cause a sensation?
[Is it true? The Manor of River Hills actually had lights on.]
[I rember the last ti the lights were on was years ago, right?]
[I swear it’s true. My friend told that this ti the Manor of River Hills was used by the Sia family mber to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday.]
[I’m so envious. What kind of girl can have such a fairy-tale romance? The Manor of River Hills, a building not even the president could tour, was now used for a birthday party.]
[Who says there’s no true love among the wealthy? Isn’t this it?]
[Sia family, is it the one I’m thinking of?]
[Replying above, which other Sia family is there in Z Country?]
[Leaking a secret, apparently after the birthday, the Sia family mber transferred the Manor as a birthday gift to the girl.]
This comnt was instantly pinned to the top due to high engagent.
Netizens seeing this remark were shocked and comnted rapidly.
More people flooded social dia upon hearing the news, almost crashing the platform.
[Wow, this feels like a scene from a drama.]
[Instantly pictured a scene, male lead: Woman, the house is yours, you are mine.]
[Hahaha, you just turned a fairy-tale romance into a cliché ’domineering CEO loves ’ plot.]
[I must admit, it does have that vibe.]
[Anyway, who is the girl that captivated him? Is no one revealing her identity?]
Soon, the original tipster replied swiftly and vanished.
[I can only say she’s a goddess-level beauty.]
His comnt left netizens eager and itching for more, continually replying and ssaging him with no answer in return.
Eventually, an angry netizen left a comnt that skyrocketed in likes.
[Damn, if you can tease us, then reveal it.]
The commotion on social dia soon reached Claire Green and her group.
She gave it a casual glance, lost interest, and exited the platform to play gas instead.
On the other hand, Mason and his group were thoroughly entertained, occasionally reading out so comnts.
"I must say, these days netizens have wild imaginations."
After reading, Mason chuckled in amusent.
At the end.
He coughed twice, using his phone as a makeshift mic, approached the man, and teased, "Julian, any thoughts on the internet calling you a ’domineering CEO’?"
The man, who was watching the girl play gas, suddenly faced darkness and heard Mason’s words, raising his eyebrows with a smirk, speaking lazily with a hint of danger.
"Do you want to know?"
Mason, unaware of the looming danger, nodded eagerly, "A bit."
George Xyler and the others who saw this exchanged knowing smiles, thinking he’s in for it.
Daring to tease Julian.
As expected, the mont Mason spoke, he saw the man rise slowly, clasp his neck, and heard a sentence that made his legs weak.
"Claire, I’m going to handle sothing."
Claire Green glanced with interest at the struggling Mason, smiling playfully, "Mm, Brother, be gentle, I think his face could use a color change."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Mason looked at her in disbelief, wondering if fights nowadays were taught this way?
Before he could say anything, his throat of fate was held, and Julian Sia lazily dragged him out.
George Xyler leisurely followed to watch the spectacle.
Upon seeing this.
The remaining people exchanged glances and laughed as they ran out.
Not forgetting to call out before leaving.
"Olivia, we’re going to check it out."
Claire Green watched the now empty living room, humor evident in her eyes.
Soon.
Julian Sia reentered, fingers deftly adjusting his sleeves.
Behind him, Mason held his face, constantly complaining, "Julian, they say not to hit the face, you can’t be harsher because of Claire’s suggestion."
Mason was convinced his teeth were about to fall out.
Who’d think.
The man didn’t even glance at him, returning calmly to sit beside the girl.
"Claire, what do you think?"
Claire Green looked at Mason’s face, bruised and swollen, raising an eyebrow, speaking playfully and leisurely, "Not bad, Mason suits this look."
Mason’s mouth twitched, his voice filled with lant, "Please, can’t you two act like humans?"
If he’d known, he wouldn’t have been so cheeky.
He couldn’t help but think, last ti George punched his face ruthlessly, and today Julian did too. Is his face just irresistibly punchable?
