    Chapter 457 How Long Would They Be Deceived


    Finished


    Brody’s gaze toward his mother was filled with skepticism and uncertainty, but it would have to do


    for


    now.


    He turned on his heel and walked away, pulling out his phone and starting to type. Liana trailed


    behind him, watching her son’s retreating figure. She seemed to want to say something, but in the


    end, she remained silent.


    After returning, E had already exined the situation to everyone.


    Jake wasn’t particrly interested in the celebration dinner. He had previously sent photos of the


    scene to his girlfriend, but she hadn’t responded. He was nning to have a video call with her that


    evening. Although they rarelymunicated through video or voice calls, mainly relying on text


    messages, his growing unease made him want to see her more and persuade her.


    Just after he texted her to request a video call that evening, she responded with a flurry of


    messages, thanking him for the pictures he had sent earlier, saying she liked them and enjoyed


    seeing them, followed by an admission of missing him. However, the final message was an apology


    for being busy that evening due to attending a gathering. She even asked if he had other ns,


    seemingly feeling guilty about potentially standing him up.


    Jake replied that he had been invited to a celebration dinner that evening. However, he preferred to


    video


    call, so he nned on declining the invitation.


    Yet, she enthusiastically rmended him to go, urging him to take more photos of the scene.


    Jake could only express his regret upon seeing that he couldn’t make an appointment with his


    girlfriend.


    Hence, when E extended an invitationter, Jake entertained the idea of having a drink.


    Christopher was interested, while Rosalie didn’t care, leaving it up to Isabe.


    As for Isabe, she thought a change of scenery for a date and to enjoy a little wine with her


    husband in the evening would be nice, so she agreed to go along.


    As they were conversing, there came a knock at the door. Everyone immediately fell silent,


    exchanging nces before assuming a respectful demeanor, suitable for greeting a family member.


    Brody entered with his mother. The moment Liana stepped in, her gaze wandered around the room,


    finally resting on E and Jake.


    Yet, her expression was far from pleasant.


    As for Brody, he quickly nced at Jake upon entering before approaching E, saying, “E, I’ve


    brought my mom to apologize. Mom, this is my girlfriend, E Quirk, and her elder brother, Jake


    Quirk. These others are…”

    E quickly introduced everyone around, and they cooperated, greeting with a smile except for


    Isabe.


    However, she was amidst the crowd, so no one paid her any attention.


    “Mom, you misunderstood her brother earlier. You should apologize.” Brody gently nudged his


    mother.
