Chapter 163


    “It’s hard to say. When a married woman frequentlyes homete at night, there are only a few


    possibilities, and the mostmon one is cheating.”


    “Cheating?!” Mrs. Boyer eximed. Then she looked at me like I was a monster, acting like I had done


    something unspeakable.


    “What is all this fuss?” Carson frowned as he left the office. “Who is cheating?”


    “Eliza imed I’m seeing someone else.” I looked directly at Carson without hiding my disgust and


    annoyance.


    “Eliza, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to your sister-inw!” Her


    expression darkened.


    to have


    When Eliza saw that Carson was getting angry, she reluctantly apologized to me. Then she added


    another sentence. “I have no


    malicious intent. Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about how wealthy marrieddies get


    involved with younger men. So I wanted to warn you about this so that you don’t get scammed.”


    whatever


    I did not answer. Instead, I just turned around without a word and went back to my room. Before that, I


    sympathized with Eliza for having a useless guy for a boyfriend. I even nned to warn her and advise


    her about it. However, those spiteful and malevolent words of hers almost made my sympathy for her


    disappear.


    Whatever happens to her, she brought it herself! It’s none of my business!


    After I got back to the room, Carson followed me inside. “Lily, Eliza didn’t mean it like that. Don’t take it


    seriously, okay? She’s just a kid who doesn’t know what to do.”


    “She is over 20 years old. Doesn’t she know better? How old will she have to be to be sensible?” I


    looked at him coldly.


    I had never expressed my discontent and disgust so openly before. Thus, he fidgeted awkwardly and


    was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry, dear.”


    Ignoring her apology, I took my clothes into the bathroom and took a shower. I finished cleaning up and


    left the bathroom. Then I saw him sitting on the side of the bed, silently mulling something over. At the


    same time, I scanned the room for my bag and saw out of the corner of my eye that my bag had been


    dislodged from its original position.


    It was clear that he had gone through my purse. There was nothing valuable in my bag except my


    phone. So he must have pointed at my phone. He must have felt horrible when he saw that my phone


    was locked, right? A foolish person like me, keeping secrets? Well, the shock he felt couldn’t be


    at the time – he didn’t use fingerprint encryption. Unlike him, my phone is only locked to my


    fingerprint. So it’s just a dream for him to unlock my phone.


    I continued to ignore him as I walked over to the mirror and went through my skincare routine. He


    seemed to struggle with his inner conflicts for a while. After a while, he said, “Honey, your phone just


    rang.”

    So I grumbled in response. Reaching over to pull my purse to me, I unlocked my phone and saw


    several missed calls under the name Customer Bycho! Customer Bycho…that’s the name I changed


    Eric’s phone number to this morning. That’s weird; why is Eric calling me sote at night? What does


    he want? Whatever it is; there’s no business between him and me. There’s no reason to respond to him


    at this time of day.


    Reflecting on this, I put my phone back in my purse. The whole time, Carson watched me from the side


    and then asked, “Honey, are you having problems at work?”
