"Sister Sterling, trust is the most important thing between people."
The girl smiled and said, "Besides, we’re mother and daughter, right?"
"Janelle, I’m telling you, you better not try to fool !"
"Alright then, I’m not going to chat with you now. I’ll co back for your birthday! Bye!" She hung up the phone without caring about her mother’s attitude.
Holding the phone, she exhaled deeply and couldn’t help but complain, "Won are just too difficult! So paranoid!"
"Isn’t it because you’re lying?" Trevor said calmly.
The girl’s chest tightened as she turned her eyes and discovered she wasn’t alone; the person next to her was soone she knew quite well!
They had only t once, but she had seen his photo countless tis!
Janelle’s expression was like she had seen a ghost, "Trevor?!"
Trevor rembered her too; he was the type who never forgot a face. She was the daughter of Mr. Mills, his blind date that day.
This... happens to be another encounter??
And they ended up sitting together?
He overheard her lying?
"Ahem..." Janelle felt awkward, this man was staring at her without blinking, who knew what he was thinking.
Trevor looked extrely composed.
"Well... I think." The girl shifted her gaze, ignoring the lie, and changed the topic, "Last ti, the blind date, I was just fulfilling a task for my dad, sa as you coming to the eting, but you brought a girlfriend, isn’t that inappropriate?"
Janelle found this opening to shift the bla onto him, and looked at him quite confidently.
Trevor withdrew his gaze, his lips slightly pursed, handso and stern, seemingly unwilling to say anything.
"Hey?" The girl scrutinized him, "Are you heartbroken? Why the long face?"
Trevor’s heart constricted slightly, a faint sting in his core, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Janelle realized sothing, suddenly turning serious, "Did you really break up?"
Trevor’s brows furrowed slightly, finding her a bit noisy.
"Actually, breaking up..."
"Miss Mills is quite calm when lying." Trevor interrupted softly, "You said you’re not in Riventhal? Haven’t seen your father? You wouldn’t be a notorious liar, would you?"
"I... it’s not what you think, it’s our family’s complicated affairs!"
"Lying to family, that’s even worse, right?"
"You..."
Just as the girl didn’t know how to explain, her phone rang again in her hand.
She quickly looked at the caller; thankfully, it wasn’t her mom!
But— it was her dad calling!
She hesitated for a mont, but still answered, "Hello, Dad."
"Janelle, I’m telling you, you’re a Mills! You must listen to about finding a boyfriend! Don’t let your mom have the final say!" Nathan Mills said seriously, "Haven’t I t more eligible n in business than she has?!"
Due to her father’s excitent and loud voice, Trevor overheard every word clearly!
Before Janelle could respond, her father’s voice ca through again—
"I know you like Trevor’s type! I just filtered these lists again! Looking for soone up to Trevor’s standards! At least half of the n qualified!"
Hearing this, Trevor froze.
The girl was mortified!!
Janelle covered the phone’s speaker, she was about to turn to stone!
And Trevor?
Graceful, tall, and handso, with a hint of unease in his expression.
Afraid her father might continue, the girl hurriedly hung up the phone.
Silence...
Deadly silence.
Until the cabin’s announcent echoed, Janelle awkwardly looked out the window as the plane began to taxi on the runway... My goodness, there’s seriously a taste of death in the air!
Trevor picked up a magazine to flip through, having no interest in dealing with her.
Being a girl, Janelle was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole! But this was a direct flight to Emberfall, lasting several hours!
