Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's face registered shock, and for a moment, she couldn't react.
Could it be...
A terrifying speculation took shape at the bottom of her heart, and Mo Yu's face turned a ghastly mix of green and purple.
Suddenly, steady footsteps echoed from the stairwell.
One step.
Two steps...
The footsteps grew closer, clearer.
Aqiao caught a glimpse of that tall figure from the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened in shock.
Why would the family head be here?
Could it be that their conversation just now...
"Look back, isn't that the person you've always wanted to see?" Ye Jiuliang said, watching Mo Yu's unfathomable expression and curling his lips into a cold sneer.
Mo Yu was speechless, "You..."
Ye Jiuliang walked to the sofa, reached out to retrieve the eavesdropping device hidden under the coffee table; the nail-sized device flashed with red light, painfully stinging Mo Yu's eyes.
Damn it.
She had fallen for her trick again.
