Chapter 541: So-Called Apology


    These days, the Gillian family was a nightmare to L. Every morning she woke up, she‘d pray that Jeff


    wouldn‘te asking for money again. Eva and Glenn kept threatening her with suicide every day,


    which took a toll on her mental health. She was on the verge of breaking down. She didn‘t want to deal


    with these psychos anymore. She had never met lunatics like the Gillian family in her life.


    And she never would‘ve met them if it weren‘t for J. J was the cause of all her suffering. Her


    misery and misfortune were all caused by her! So when Jeff proposed that they ckmail J, she


    agreed without hesitation.


    Howe J got to enjoy the perfect life of being the daughter of the White family while she had to


    endure such a misery with the Gillian family?


    “Well? What do you have in mind?” L was in no mood to waste time. She just wanted Jeff to target


    J instead of her. Jeff didn‘t expect that she would be so excited about this. When he got over his


    initial surprise, he chuckled and said, “You have to ask her out. I‘ll ask someone to take care of the


    rest.”


    Without hesitation, L took out her phone and called J. However, the call never connected


    “What happened? Why isn‘t she answering your calls?” Jeff‘s smug smile instantly disappeared. L


    grew anxious, too. She had tried to hurt J several times now. It made sense that J was on


    guard against her.

    “Let me try one more time.” L kept dialing J‘s number. She didn‘t get through to J until the


    tenth try.


    “What do you want?” J asked coldly.


    All of a sudden, L burst into tears. “J, finally! You answered my call. I just wanted to apologize for


    everything I’ve done. It wasn‘t until I joined the Gillian family that I realized how nice you were to me.”


    “Oh,” J said emotionlessly.


    “Anything else?”


    “No, no... But I‘d like to apologize to you in person. How about we have a meal together? I‘ve done so


    many terrible things but I never apologized properly to you. I have to do it in person, or else I‘ll never


    forgive myself!” L spoke as sincerely as she could. J fell silent.


    This wasn‘t her first rodeo with L. She doubted L had pure intentions. Just as she was about to


    refuse, Ethan covered the phone. She looked at him in confusion. He whispered in her ear, “Agree to


    meet her. I want to see what trick she‘s ying.”


    Ethan‘s eyes were cold as ice. He had no sympathy for L. In his eyes, she was nothing but trouble.


    He could seize this as an opportunity to get her out of the picture permanently. J nodded. Then,


    she sighed into the phone with flourish, pretending to be helpless.


    “Fine. We were once a family, so we should talk this out.” L grew excited. She paused for a few


    seconds and replied,


    “Okay. Let‘s meet up at the steakhouse at Glorie Street tomorrow at 10.”


    The following day, J arrived at the steakhouse on time. Before she got off the car, Ethan cupped


    her cheeks and kissed her.


    “Act natural. If anything suspicious happens, text me. I‘ve stationed my men here, so you‘ll be safe.”
