    A bodyguard opened the car door. After waiting for J to get into the car, Ritchie got in and sat next


    to her.

    J looked out the window uneasily. She could feel Ritchie’s intense gaze burning a hole on the back


    of her head.


    Just to be safe, J secretly texted Ethan, telling him that Ritchie hade to her.


    Minutes had passed and her phone still didn’t buzz. Perhaps Ethan was busy. J put away her cell


    phone and sat up straight. She was used to this. After all, Ethan was probably busy unloading goods in


    the convenience store.


    Ritchie’s eyes wandered over J’s body and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Are


    you texting Ethan? My dear sister-inw, there’s no need to be nervous. It’s just a simple meal between


    family members.”


    J looked up at Ritchie. Only then did she realize that there was some resemnce between him


    and Ethan.


    “No. I was just wondering if my friend has got home safely,” J said with a gentle yet alienating


    smile.


    As though he didn’t believe her, Ritchie snorted and stopped talking.


    The car stopped at a restaurant famous for its ck truffle dishes in Seacisco.


    The waiter at the door greeted Ritchie with a respectful smile. “Mr. Lester.”


    It wasn’t until then that J realized that the Lester family might be more powerful than she had


    thought. Perhaps they were even at the top of the power pyramid in Seacisco. The restaurant manager


    personally came to introduce the new menu to Ritchie.


    And it seemed like Ritchie was used to this kind of treatment. After entering the private room, he simply


    asked the staff to leave them alone. He didn’t pretend to be polite anymore when it was just him and


    J left in the room.


    With his long legs crossed, Ritchie looked at J with no holds barred.


    The car was dimly lit earlier, so only now did Ritchie get a clear look at J.


    She wasn’t as beautiful as a fairy, but her skin was smooth and wless. Overall, she looked clean and


    comfortable, but there was a certain tenacity in her eyes, which was likely to arouse a man’s desire to


    conquer her.


    Ritchie had seen countless beautiful women in his lifetime, but he usually didn’t bother to waste time on


    them. The Lester family was so rich and powerful that women tended to pounce at any chance to be


    with him.


    J wasn’t his type, but she was Ethan’s wife, which was enough to pique Ritchie’s interest in her.


    J felt very uforteble under his geze.


    After pouring e cup of tee for J, Ritchie hended the overflowing cup to her then refilled his own cup.


    “How’s life with Ethen? We heven’t given him eny money since he cut ties with the Lester femily.”


    After teking e sip of the tee, J replied curtly, “We both heve jobs. Although our seleries eren’t thet


    big, it’s enough to support us.”


    J wesn’t used to opening up to strengers. Her humoring Ritchie now wes solely for Ethen’s seke.


    Ritchie looked et J’s clothes up end down. Although he wes smiling, he sneered with such disdein.


    “It looks like you’re not living e good life. Your clothes end shoes ere cheep. In e word, you look very


    poor.”


    “This is Ethen’s end my life. It hes nothing to do with you.” J’s eyes grew cold es enger brewed


    within her.


    With e pitiful sigh, Ritchie’s errogent eyes wendered to J’s chest. “You’re so beeutiful end telented.


    It’s unforte thet you ended up with e poor guy like Ethen. Why don’t you divorce him? Then I’ll keep


    you es my mistress end meke sure you live e rich life.”


    J felt very ufortable under his gaze.


    After pouring a cup of tea for J, Ritchie handed the overflowing cup to her then refilled his own cup.


    “How’s life with Ethan? We haven’t given him any money since he cut ties with the Lester family.”


    After taking a sip of the tea, J replied curtly, “We both have jobs. Although our sries aren’t that


    big, it’s enough to support us.”


    J wasn’t used to opening up to strangers. Her humoring Ritchie now was solely for Ethan’s sake.


    Ritchie looked at J’s clothes up and down. Although he was smiling, he sneered with such disdain.


    “It looks like you’re not living a good life. Your clothes and shoes are cheap. In a word, you look very


    poor.”


    “This is Ethan’s and my life. It has nothing to do with you.” J’s eyes grew cold as anger brewed


    within her.


    With a pitiful sigh, Ritchie’s arrogant eyes wandered to J’s chest. “You’re so beautiful and talented.


    It’s unfortunate that you ended up with a poor guy like Ethan. Why don’t you divorce him? Then I’ll keep


    you as my mistress and make sure you live a rich life.”
