I rinsed my face quickly and followed her back to the office.
She had already picked up her spoon and was enjoying her meal. Watching her eat so heartily, my lingering doubts disappeared.
I couldn't help but comment, "Take it easy, no one is competing with you. Look at the way you're eating. It's not attractive at all. Do you devour your food like this in front of Jared?"
She glanced at me, "What's the fuss? You don't know how hungry I've been. Besides, whether he's here or not, I eat like this.”
She continued to stuff her mouth while talking.
Seeing her wolf down her food, I felt genuinely sorry for her. I changed my tone to a gentler one, "You really need someone to take good care of you."
I remembered Jared and Trinity, recalling what Anson had said to me. I felt he was trying to convey something to me.
And from the way he valued Jared, it seemed the Huffman family wouldn't easily let go of him. After all, Jared had long been the preferred candidate for the Huffman family's son-in-law.
For some reason, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
Ivanna was eating and speaking simultaneously. "Bourdamun is still in a tense state. Plain-clothed cops are everywhere. I wonder who's behind all this."
"Have you heard any new information?" I asked her.
Ivanna shook her head, "They've tightly sealed the information, especially for media people like us. But I heard they've arrested a few more people internally."
"More arrests?" I was shocked. How could people still dare make a move under Noah’s crackdown?
I snapped back to reality, "I think the Terrell family should have calmed down by now. So many people involved have been taken in. Only Denton remains, and it's unlikely he can make a big move. It's strange. Who could be behind such a significant event?"
Ivanna reached for a tissue, dabbed her mouth, and said, "They say only the daughter of the Terrell family is still out there, but her situation is also restricted. So, she can't escape abroad either."
"I've seen that girl. She's an extremely arrogant one." I recalled Nelson’s daughter, Kimberly, vividly. She left quite an impression on me.
Ivanna rolled her eyes, "Arrogant? Now that the Terrell family is in such a state, she has no grounds for arrogance anymore. In my opinion, the Terrell family brought this upon themselves.”
"Nelson made things difficult for Bourdamun." I couldn't help sighing.
"People say the Terrell family's extravagance was jaw-dropping. Nelson was like the king of the local turf. Over time, they lost touch with reality. Oh, and by the way, this little brat is in Foswood now," Ivanna added.
