"What if she knows what?" Arvin sensed her nervousness, shooting her a sharp look.
"Nothing!" Ellie rolled her eyes and covered her mouth tightly with hand in case she spoke another word.
"Tell me the truth!" Arvin pressed on her and gazed at her from a high position.
"Nothing!" She was determined to defend her secret with all her efforts. She couldn't let him know the truth, or she would die of a miserable death.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I will tell grandma that you sneaked out late at night. And your pocket money for the next half of the year will be deducted!"
Seeing that Ellie was reluctant to give in, Arvin suddenly smiled innocently and turned around gracefully.
One, two, three!
"Don't!" A pair of slender hands grabbed him on time. "Cousin, I will tell you everything. But you have to promise that you won't blame me for this! " Ellie begged Arvin pitifully with her blinking eyes.
Arvin smiled imperceptibly, "Then tell me."
"In fact, when Lily asked you out last time years ago, it was me who intercepted her letter and told her you already loved someone else! Later, she went abroad! "
Ellie looked at Arvin carefully, fearing that Arvin would burst into anger when he heard the news.
However
Time ticked away and the storm Ellie expected still didn't come.
There was no expression on Arvin's handsome and serious face, as if he just heard an ordinary report from his subordinates. Then, he opened his mouth calmly, "Okay!" He then quietly turned around and left, leaving Ellie dumbfounded.
"Arvin?" She called his name, but didn't stop him. 'Is he not angry at me?

Belinda opened her eyes slowly and saw a pair of black eyes staring at her seriously. She was startled at once.
"Oh my God!" All sleepiness had gone at once.
"Ellie, what are you doing here? You scared me to death! " Belinda sat up and grumbled at her, "Don't you know that your tricks can make people terrified?"
Belinda took a deep breath. Fortunately, she was strong enough to recover from terror soon."
"Belinda, I'll take you out!" Ellie said so as she seized Belinda's arm and pulled her towards the door.
"It was my fault for what happened yesterday. To express my apology, I offer you compensation and help, without asking for payment!" She somehow had a restless feeling when Arvin left in silence last night.
"Are you having a fever?" Belinda couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Ellie as if she was looking at a lunatic and tentatively touched her forehead with hand.
"The head isn't hot! Why are you talking nonsense? " 'Why did she want to make it up to me after being kicked and scolded by me last night?'
Belinda stared at her in disbelief.
"No matter what, I'm always on your side! As the saying goes, 'Know the enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat!' So first we have to get to know the enemy and collaborate our efforts to enhance our strength! "
Ellie didn't care about Belinda's suspicion. After helping Belinda dressed up roughly, they appeared at luxurious shopping mall in M City.
