Gregary quickly denied, "Of course not, I was merely curious. You're going to marry Dorothy. We trust you completely." Even if he had some doubt, he wouldn't dare say it in front of Colin.
Trust? Colin sneered, but remembered to reassure Gregary. "Rest assured that I won't keep Aaron for too long. I'll distance myself from Sophia and Aaron for Dorothy's sake."
Gregary started to believe Colin. What he didn't know was that Colin planned to keep Aaron for a very long time, and that he even thought of supporting Aaron in starting his own business. Either way, Colin wouldn't abandon him.
Aaron was standing right next to Colin. He clearly heard everything he told Gregary.
The more Colin spoke, the more reassured Gregary felt. Finally, Gregary completely believed in Colin and stopped mentioning Sophia and Aaron. "Colin, as for the bidding contract..."
Colin understood what Gregary meant before he finished speaking. "Nourishing water shouldn't flow into the other's farmlands. The Lien Group will definitely get the cooperation."
Gregary breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, Colin. You really haven't let your father-in-law down!" He let out a relieved laugh.
Hanging up the phone, Colin looked at the screen disdainfully. The reason the Lien Group had reached such a state was because of Gregary's foolishness.
"Colin, was it Gregary?" Aaron had been talking with Colin about his work. He didn't expect Gregary to call Colin at this time.
Colin didn't conceal anything. "Yes. To avoid causing any suspicion from Gregary, I must distance myself from your sister for now. Please look after her for me. Don't let her get too close to my friend, Hugh."
Colin and Hugh were practically brothers. But they were both in love with Sophia.
Aaron nodded in understanding. "Okay, Colin. You can count on me."
In Levi's Bedroom
Selina stared at the man standing in front of her. "Levi, let's break up!"
Levi's eyes widened at her in disbelief. "You're breaking up with me just because of some woman?"
"She's not just some woman. She's the ex-girlfriend of one of your comrades. You know her well, don't you?"
"Yes, but I have nothing to do with her!" Levi got agitated when Selina mentioned the woman.
Ignoring Levi's response, Selina went into the wardrobe to take out her suitcase and began packing her clothes.
Levi grabbed her wrist. "Don't make trouble!"
"Why not? A woman came to our house with a child in her arms. She kept crying and saying that you made a commitment to her, and you have to take responsibility. Go ahead, honor your commitment!"
"Yes, but I didn't mean that I would marry her. I meant I would support them financially." The woman was the same woman who had stopped Levi's car three years ago to say that she was carrying Levi's baby. Back then, Selina and Levi had just gotten into a relationship.
"Maybe you didn't mean that, but what about her? Oh, she wanted her child to call you 'dad!' And she's even moved into your family's house. Get out!" Selina shook off his grip and continued packing her things at random.
Levi incredulously looked at the woman bending down to get her clothes. "You're asking me to leave?"
Holding back her tears and grievances, Selina stood up and said, "Yes! Get out now! Wait, no. This is your house, I'm the one who should be leaving!"
"Selina, stop being childish and immature." Upset, Levi paced around the room.
