Chapter 341
Thea sniffled, “A woman just came to my house, claiming she was pregnant with my brother’s child and wants him to marry her.”
Eliza immediately understood what had happened.
She comforted Thea, “Your brother is an adult and has his own choices and judgment. You should not get involved. Focus on your studies; that’s more
mportant.”
‘But I want you to be my sister–in–law,”
Thea said, her voice breaking with sadness.
she realized Eliza seemed very calm, as though she had already known about this.
This realization made Thea feel cold inside.
When a woman hears something like this and remains calm, it can only mean one thing–she doesn’t care about this man, and it doesn’t affect her.
Eliza comforted Thea for a while, and Thea gradually calmed down.
At that moment, Enzo’s call came through to Eliza. Upon hearing that Thea was with her, he hurriedly drove over to pick her up.

Inzo hesitated but still added, “Happy New Year.”
liza responded, “Happy New Year,”

t felt as if something in his world was slowly fading.
hea lay dejectedly on the car window, drawing aimlessly on the fogged–up glass with her finger.
Brother, you will regret this,”
Enzo remained silent for a long time before responding, “I know.”
At midnight, Xander was the first to send Eliza a New Year’s message, almost as if he had timed it precisely.
There was nothing complicated about it, just a simple six–word message;
Senior, Happy New Year.”
t was clear it wasn’t a mass message.
liza thought for a moment and replied, “Happy New Year,”

Before Josh could answer, his phone rang.

After answering the phone, Josh drove off to meet Imogen.
