Sharon sneered at Hunter. "You lied to me first. You're the young master of the Cohen family, yet you lied to me saying that you're homeless."
Hunter cleared his throat awkwardly. "I didn’t do it on purpose. You didn't ask me clearly when we first met."
"Is it my fault, then?" Sharon glared at him with her large eyes.
Hunter quickly surrendered. "No! How dare I blame you? It's my fault, okay?"
"Sounds about right. Go get the luggage." Sharon kicked him.
Hunter pouted and obediently went to get their luggage.
Jayden also followed suit.
The three of them quickly went into the villa with each of their luggage.
Lyra was visibly upset and lowered her head. Julien squeezed her hand and said gently, "Lyra, let's go in."
"Yeah." Lyra forced a smile and nodded.
The five of them entered the villa.
Just as they entered the living room, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the stairs.
All five of them raised their heads to look.
Luke was wearing casual clothes, and he was dragging his slippers along when he came downstairs.
When he saw them, his mouth was wide open. "Why are you guys here?"
"Hey, President Chase." Hunter raised his eyebrow and smiled as he waved at Luke.
Sharon also greeted him, "President Chase."
Besides them both, the remaining three had odd expressions and said nothing.
Jayden did not like Luke, so he snorted and turned away.
Julien's frown deepened as he suddenly realized that the other couple happened to be Luke and Sydney.
"Lyra..." Julien looked toward the woman next to him, his eyes filled with worry.
Lyra's fist secretly tightened in her sleeves, so much so that her nails bit into her palm. Even so, she forced herself to smile. "Don't worry, Julien. I know what you're worried about. I'll try my best to control it and prevent her from doing anything."
F*ck!
Was God joking with her? All she wanted was some time alone with Julien so that they could deepen their relationship with each other. Who knew that Hunter would ruin the date? Worse still, the other couple
happened to be Sydney and Luke.
"Who’s she?" day den was holding his basketball when he asked in curiosity.
Lyra bit her lip. "She... She..."
She did not know how to answer and looked at the man next to her.
The man lowered his gaze and said, "Nothing. This is none of your business so stop asking."
"Hah. None of their business? More like you just don't want to say it." Luke crossed his arms in disdain.
"President Chase, do you know something about this?" Hunter looked at him.
Luke smiled sarcastically. "Of course, she's..."
"Luke Chase!" Julien cut him off mid-sentence with a cold expression. There were sparks in his eyes, and it was terrifying. "This is Lyra's privacy, so you should stop."
Luke pouted. "Fine. I won't say anything. But how long do you think you can keep it a secret?"
After saying that, he turned around and went back upstairs. He suddenly did not wait to head downstairs anymore and just wanted to return to his floor.
"Wait for a second, President Chase," Sharon suddenly called out to him.
Luke halted. "What is it?"
"President Chase, which floor do you live on? I'll stay on the same floor as you. I don’t want to stay on the same floor as some malicious woman, or I might get unlucky," Sharon threw Lyra a glance as she said so.
Lyra bit her lip in humiliation. "Ms. Campbell, what do you mean? Who are you referring to?"
After half an hour, Sydney woke up and came downstairs. When she saw Sharon sitting on the couch by the TV, she was stunned. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had made a mistake. However, Sharon remained where she was and was real.
"Sharon," Sydney called out to her.
Sharon turned her head. "Sydney! You finally woke up."
Sydney nodded. "Why are you here?"
"Hunter invited me through the phone." She turned the TV off.
She received a call from Hunter in the morning, which wore her up from her sleep. Hunter said that there was a matter that required her help, and she quickly agreed.
When she got into the car, Hunter told her that he planned to ruin Lyra and Julien's date. That was when she found out about Hunter's true identity. Obviously, it did not end well.
"Hunter is here as well?" Sydney was shocked.
Just when Sharon was about to reply, Luke came out of the kitchen with a glass of water. "Yup. Not only Hunter but Jayden as well. Oh, I forgot to mention that the other couple happened to be Julien and Lyra."
When Sydney heard that, her heart sank.
Why did she have to run into those two wherever she
goes?
"Darling, why don't we go back?" Luke handed the glass of water to Sydney. "What if Lyra tries to hurt you again? She has her dissociative identity disorder as an immunity card."
"Dissociative identity disorder?" Sharon exclaimed in surprise, “So, when Lyra was talking about her, it meant..."
"Yup." Luke nodded and narrated the entire incident where Lyra pushed Sydney down the stairs.
Sharon took a deep breath.
Sydney shook her head. "No, we’re not going back.
Why do we have to leave just because they came? It will appear as though we’re afraid of them. Moreover, Hunter and Jayden are around as well. Since they are around, I don’t think Lyra will do anything to me."
"Sydney is right.” Sharon agreed. "Hunter brought Jayden and me here to spoil Julien and Lyra’s weekend. I think Lyra will have her hands full with Hunter, so she will not do anything to Sydney." 1
