    In Kemp Apartment, ina followed Jalen. She saw him take out his key and open the door.


    “Come in.” Pushing open the door and turning on the lights in the living room, he turned to look at


    ina.


    ina hesitated and walked in.


    After putting the suitcase away, she sat on the sofa and stared at Jalen. She did not do anything else.


    Obviously, she was waiting for him to exin his rtionship with Ethel.


    Jalen sighed. Of course, he could understand what ina meant


    He took her suitcase to the bedroom and brought a first-aid kit. “Don’t move I will clean your wound


    first.”


    ina curled her lips. He knew what she wanted to know the most, but he refused to say it. It was too


    annoying.


    Soon, the wound was cleaned. Just as ina was thinking about what he was going to do now, she


    saw Jalen sitting down beside her.


    “Ethel and I used to be ssmates in college,” Jalen said, as if he was lost in his memories.


    ina felt ufortable seeing him like this, but she did not interrupt him and waited for him to


    continue.


    “At that time, I had a good rtionship with her and spent a lot of time with her. Naturally, I had some


    feelings for her.” Jalen did not deny the fact that he had fallen for Ethel.


    “But in the end, because she was going abroad, we broke up,” Jalen said.


    To put it bluntly, he and Ethel were more than friends, but not lovers. It had been so many years. He


    had been. over her.


    Seeing that he seemed to be done exining, ina was unhappy. “You asked me to be a substitute


    because


    you couldn’t get the girl you liked?”


    Jalen’s face immediately darkened. He looked at ina seriously. “As I told you before, you are not


    anyone’s substitute.


    “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have found out that you were inmon in some way.”


    It was only after ina mentioned it that he vaguely felt that they seemed to be a little alike.


    ina definitely did not believe his words. Anyone who saw Ethel’s photo could tell that they were very


    simr at a nce. Why couldn’t Jalen realize it?


    “E, didn’t you say that we should trust each other?” Jalen looked at her unhappily.


    ina did not look him in the eye. Although he had already exined it, she still did not believe it. It


    was probably because Jalen had so many lies that she could not tell if he was serious.


    “Then why didn’t your father tell me when he returned?” ina asked. She felt that Jalen should have


    at least told her about it.


    Jalen did not know if ina had let it go. When he heard her ask about Steven, he said truthfully, “I did


    not want to hide it from you. I just wanted to tell you after the matter is settled.”


    ina did not speak, but her eyes had already exined everything.


    Jalen had no choice but to continue exining, “Although he has been away for many years, he is still


    the president of the Halton Group. He has a lot of power in his hands. I was afraid that he would harm


    you, so I agreed to break up with you.”


    “So, you are with Rylie to make your father let his guard down?” ina asked.


    Jalen nodded. “Yes. I am working with her. Her parents forced her to go on blind dates. I need


    someone to attract Steven’s attention.”


    ina could not tell if what Jalen said was true or not. “Fine. I see.”


    At this point, no matter whether it was true or not, it seemed that this was the only solution.


    Then…


    are we good?” Jalen said weakly. He felt uncertain.


    ina nced at him and said, “Although you had a reason, breaking up is never a joke. So, we are


    still on a break.”
