Keh frowned, feeling a bit guilty after Ophelia yelled at hit like that. He asked, "Why did youe back? Don''t you realize it''s dangerous here? He had the confidence that he wouldn''t get hurt. Keh asked, "Don''t trust me?" He pinched Ophelia''s chin. The harshness he had shown towards Jonathan a moment ago vanished instantly. His voice was noticeably less severe than before, Suddenly, a nerve in his forehead twitched wildly like a snapped thread. He hugged Ophelia in front of hirm tightly. squeezed his eyes shut, and then reopened them.


    Ophelia was wrapped in his arms. She asked, "What''s wrong?" She thought, ''Did I yell at him too loudly?"


    Jonathan walked to the top of the second-floor stairs and nced down. With just a glimpse, his chest felt heavy, like a big stone was weighing it down.


    He thought. What''s Keh pretending for? Is he hurt? Acting as if he needs someone to take care of him for some big mjury. How disgusting!" "Let''s go home." Keh murmured softly into Ophelia''s ear, his voice gentle.


    "Okay. Ophelia replied. When she slipped out of his arms, her small hand was instantly gripped tightly by Keh as if he was afraid she might run off. They boarded the helicopter, waiting at the entrance, together.


    The thunderous sound of helicopter des roared overhead. Jonathan sat in the half-copsed study, surrounded by a deste, gloomy atmosphere. The sound of the helicopter gradually faded away.


    The sun slowly rose as Phoebe carried a tray upstairs. She nced at the spot Ophelia had blown up, a fleeting hatred shing in her eyes.


    She said, "Jonathan, have something to eat. She carefully walked over and ced the tray on the man''s desk. Whether on purpose or not, her pale arm was exposed, showing marks from needle pricks..


    Jonathan lifted his eyes, his icy blue gaze as cold and unyielding as ancient ice. He asked, "Do you know what happens to those who betray the Davidson family?"


    Hearing Jonathan''s words, Phoebe fell to her knees with a thud, her face still pale and her body weak and drained.


    She said. "Jonathan, I didn''t. I swear I didn''t reveal this ce''s location. I can swear it! I can even prove my innocence with my life.


    Jonathan, I know my life belongs to the Davidson family. I will only work for the Davidson family. You have to believe me. She thought, As long as Jonathan calms down, I could save my life. Keh understands Jonathan''s temperament perfectly. He released the back, counting on Jonathan to personally handle the situation


    Not hearing Jonathan saya


    else, Phoebe looked up. She said, "Jonathan, I know you like Ophelia. I can help you." When Ophelia was mentioned, Jonathan''s expression softened slightly. He nced sideways at Phoebe on the ground.


    He asked, "Are you trying to use me to get to Keh?" His voice was cold and slightly mocking. He continued, "Do you think you''re worthy of making a deal with me?"


    Phoebe quickly gave up on her little schemes. She said, "No, Jonathan, I sincerely want to help you. If Emma found out you


    liked someone, she''d definitely be happy for you. Jonathan, just give me some time; I will help you."


    Jonathan''s eyes flickered slightly. Just then, a ck cat appeared out of nowhere, jumping onto the table. Jonathan picked it up and lightly said. "One month," Phoebe said, "One month? Jonathan, can you give me a little more time? Three months, no, no, two months at the most, is that okay?"


    Jonathan said nothing and continued stroking the cat''s sleek ck fur.

Mgia, for about half a month. Be good and wait for me." Ophelia thought. That''s such a long time! She nodded and asked "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren''t you going to rest a


    bit first?"


    Keh said, "With you here, it''s impossible to rest. He pushed Ophelia against the wardrobe and gave her a passionate kiss. He dominantly stole her breath away.


    It wasn''t until Ophelia ced her hands on his shoulders and pushed forward that Keh let her go. "Is our rtionship just mutual use?" he asked, his voice hinting at danger.


    Ophelia barely caught her breath before Keh gave her earlobe a firm pinch. It didn''t hurt; it was just ticklish.
