Chapter 122
Jan''s eyes bore into her with a re that was tinged with a trace of apprehension. He must have
anticipated what Zora was here to do.
"Zora, you barging in here in the middle of the night to retrieve your stuff is a bit too audacious, don''t
you think? Are you trying to test our patience?" Jan artfully deflected the tension. "Hand over the

keys."
Then he turned to Helga. "Helga, check what she took!"
Helga nodded, grabbed Zora''s bag, rummaged through it, then rose to her feet to report, "Sir, madam!
It''s indeed her underwear and makeup!"
Upon hearing Helga''s confirmation, Jan leaned in and whispered, "Since it''s only that stuff, take her
keys and let her go! She''s clearly injured. We don''t need any moreplications that could work
against us."
Seriously? Against us? And yet you attacked her knowing that?
I scoffed, casting him a disdainful nce.
Of course, I wasn''t really going to call the cops. After all, having Zora around could be useful. She was
a valuable pawn in my game, and I wasn''t about to let her go that easily. The game had only just
begun, and what''s a game without tools? Since she could serve as Jan''s watchdog over me, she
could also serve as my aplice.
"It’s your call!" I got up nonchntly, not even giving Jan a second nce. Izily strode off, as if
nothing had happened, and headed upstairs.
“Jan and Zora, you better stick together and cherish the remaining days you have left!” I thought.
Jan was left puzzled by my actions, shouting at my retreating figure, "Allie, you..."
I acted as if I hadn''t heard him and continued upstairs.
The next moment, I heard Jan''s impatient roar, "Leave the keys and get out!"
As expected, Jan didn''ty a finger on her.
I raised an eyebrow and smirked. “I''ll make sure you pay dearly for tonight''s decision, Jan.”
The next day, I called ra over and threw out all of their belongings and reced all the locks in the
house. Jan saw what I was doing but didn''t dare to question me.
I gave him a cold shoulder.
People are strange. The less attention you give them, the more they try and get in your face.
Jan, who never used toe home for lunch, rushed back to have lunch with me, iming that
Helga''s cooking was too good to miss.
He even brought back some crawfish, my favorite seafood. I didn''t give him the satisfaction of eating
any, though.
Aside from the fact that my body couldn''t handle too much seafood at the moment, I was also cautious
about eating food brought from outside.
He looked at me somewhat disappointedly but couldn''t resist asking with a fawning smile, "Honey, don''t
you love crawfish? I bought these especially for you. They''re still hot! Try some."
I shot him a cold look. "Didn''t you know that I can''t eat too much seafood with my current health
condition?"
He was left speechless and awkwardly moved the te away.
Before we could finish our meal, I got a video call from my parents. My heart burst with joy as I quickly
put down my fork to answer. Jan also casually appeared in the frame, his smile gentle and refined.
My parents, radiant with joy, chatted for a bit before my mom turned to my dad, "You should tell our
daughter the good news and make her happy too!"
I feigned surprise, "What''s the good news? Tell me, dad!"
"Well! Haha! Our old house has been designated as a key project in Silverdale City." My dadughed
heartily, his teeth showing, while my mom was also overjoyed.
"Really?" I eximed happily. "Last time Catherine went home, she only mentioned it was just a n.
Is it confirmed now?"
"Yes, it''s confirmed! But since our family''s house is a private property and a key part of the overall n,
which involves the development of the entire old town, our negotiations have just started. The proposal
has already been submitted."
"Really? Oldtown Avenue is arge area. Is our property included in it?" I asked excitedly. "Dad, you
said our house is part of the key n? How much money can we get?"
I could feel Jan leaning in from behind me.
