Jack froze and turned to look at Neve. "Zane came to see you?"
Neve quickly got up and walked to the door. She glanced outside and realized that the person standing at the door was Phoebe. She frowned and said in a low voice, "Go back to the room and hide for a while."
"Neve, do you have another boyfriend?" asked Jack.
"Look more carefully, and that's a woman!"
Jack chuckled and withdrew his hand from the doorknob, and walked inside. "Half an hour at most, I must get out for something later."
Neve hummed, and after checking the living room, she examined what she was wearing and opened the door.
When Phoebe looked at Neve wearing a bathrobe, she frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing now?"
"Nothing special! I just did yoga at home and got sweated, so I had a shower and was about to change clothes and go to the company," Neve said and let Phoebe in. "What can I do for you?"
Phoebe glanced at the living room and then said, "Guess."
Neve greeted Phoebe with a cup of coffee. Then, she said, "Tell me directly what I can do for you."
Phoebe sat down on the sofa. When she was about to lean back, she touched something under her hand. It was a lighter. Phoebe looked at Neve and doubted, "Do you smoke?"
With a glance at the lighter, " Neve replied, "Occasionally."
Phoebe threw the lighter on the table and asked, "Does my brother know it?"
Neve stepped forward and sat down on the sofa. "What exactly do you need me to do for you?"
"Does Anika's matter have any connection with you?" Phoebe asked.
She stared at Neve and asked seriously.
Neve looked at Phoebe calmly. "Do you think it's me?"
Phoebe noticed the change in Neve's facial expression and confirmed, "It is not you?"
"Phoebe, why do you think of me that way? I'd rather do anything to flatter Anika so that she can speak well of me in front of Zane. Don't you think so?" Neve explained.
After listening to Neve's words, Phoebe chuckled, "Why are you nervous? I was just asking casually. I thought you would use this scheme to bring Zane back when he went to M Country looking for Yanis."
"Yes, I was unhappy to know Zane went there to find Yanis, but I never framed up Anika to get Zane back," Neve explained.
"Then what tricks will you use?" Phoebe asked.
"I am important in Zane's heart to some extent. If I really want him back, I will call him, do you think it is difficult to do so?" Neve replied.
Phoebe did not speak.
After being silent for a while, she said, "It makes sense. Zane divorced Yanis because of you, and you still weigh heavily in Zane's heart."
"So, you came here only to ask about this?" Neve questioned.
Phoebe hummed, "Then what else do you think you can do for me?"
Neve shook her head. "By the way, you really do not plan to visit M Country? I heard that Ivan would first go to Burumal and then go to M Country."
Phoebe frowned and asked, "Ivan also went to M Country?"
"Of course, that is why Zane is in such a hurry to go to M Country," said Neve.
Phoebe stood up and said, "I must go back. Goodbye."
Neve did not urge Phoebe to stay. "Goodbye."
As soon as Phoebe left, Jack walked out from inside.
"She is Zane's sister?" asked Jack.
"Cousin," answered Neve.
"She looks gorgeous," said Jack.
When Neve heard this, she gazed at Jack and warned, "Stay away from her!"
"What? Are you really going to be a good sister-in-law?" asked Jack.
Neve walked toward the room. "I warn you again! Stay away from her!"
Jack stood outside and followed Neve in after Neve entered the bedroom.
"Jack! Let me go!" pleased Neve.
"No way! Be obedient," asked Jack.
