Haven't you consistently schemed against me?"

Indeed, Lilah orchestrated the assailants who targeted Samira. It was all part of a machination.

Having been forsaken by the Dillon Group before, Samira naturally wouldn't place trust in them, given their capacity for heartless actions.

“No, my sincerity has always been unwavering toward you," Gerard said.

"Thank you, my CEO!" Lilah teased as she stared at her phone. She then began typing up a message for Ewing, telling him that the matter had almost been dealt with.

After that, they went home. As soon as they walked out of the elevator, Gerard's phone rang.

Lilah instinctively glanced at the screen and saw Laura's name flashing.

What could Laura want so late at night? Wondering this, Lilah pressed her lips together. In her presence, Gerard answered the call and put the phone on speaker mode.

However, to her surprise, the one who spoke wasn't Laura. "Mr. Harris, are you available right now? Laura is drunk, and I can't carry her home. Can you come over and pick her up?"

It was Marlene speaking.

Lilah looked away and clicked her tongue. She could immediately tell that this was obviously a trap.

“ALL right," Gerard agreed, his voice sounding icy.

As soon as she heard this, Lilah's body stiffened as mixed feelings brewed in her heart.

When she saw that Gerard had already ended the call, Lilah told him, "Go ahead. I'll go to bed."

"So will I." Gerard grabbed her hand and forcibly dragged her to his apartment, pressing his finger to the sensor to unlock the door.

Lilah's eyes narrowed in confusion. “I thought you were going to pick up Laura?" she asked.

But to her surprise, Gerard pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

At the bar, after drinking a copious amount of alcohol, Laura felt as though the whole world around her was spinning. Her body was hunched over the table as she tried her best to stop herself from vomiting.

Marlene was rubbing her back, saying, “Laura, I already called Gerard.

He has agreed to pick you up. I knew it! He still loves you!"

Laura chuckled, delighted by the answer.

Although she was a woman herself, Marlene was amazed by how charming Laura was. She giggled alongside her and said, “Laura, you're a beautiful, adorable woman. Once Gerard sees you, I'm sure he'll fall head over heels for you!"

Laura smiled and coyly dismissed her, saying, “Stop making fun of me.

You're just exaggerating."
