It''s Not That Simple


    "I haven''t seen my sister be so generous before."


    Ethan held the keys with two fingers, his words filled with jealousy. "When I was in college, I asked her


    for a house to move into. But she just gave me the apartment you are living in now. She''s so stingy."


    Looking at the key, Pearl felt dazzled. She immediately put the leather bag into Ethan''s arms and said,


    "Give it back to Katherine. It''s too much for me."


    "It''s okay. Keep it," Ethan calmly said, "The apartment you''re living in now is way too small. Move to the


    vi with me."


    "No, I can''t do that."


    "If you don''t live there, I will," Ethan threw both keys into his pocket brusquely and said, "The apartment


    you are living in now is too small. But the vi is located very close to Bonny''s school. Katherine chose

    this house because it''s nearer to school as well as the hospital."


    "No, we''re fine."


    "Don''t refuse so quickly. There''s another reason why you should move there with me."


    "What?"


    "To lower our enemy''s guard."


    Hearing this, Pearl was slightly stunned.


    A rare serious expression appeared on this yboy''s face, and his eyes were a little cold. "No matter


    whether Adriana did it or not seven years ago, one thing is certain now. The ident definitely has


    something to do with Richard, not to say everything that happened to you after you returned here."


    "So...?"


    "So now, you have topletely dissociate yourself from him. While ensuring your own safety, you


    have to investigate the people around him, whether it''s Adriana, Richard''s mother, or anyone else. The


    ident shouldn''t be that simple."


    What Ethan had said made Pearl look more serious.


    After calming down on that day, she also felt that what happened that year shouldn''t just have rted


    to Adriana only. She was unable to n the whole thing perfectly.


    Although it was only ten minutes'' walk between the university and party hall, it was on the most bustling


    street. However, she did not see a single person on her way back tob that night. Even outcasts.


    Pearl couldn''t figure it out in the past seven years.


    The person who behind this couldn''t just be a small fry like Adriana.


    Thinking of this, she clenched her fists and said seriously, "Okay, I''ll move in there."


    ...


    At dusk, the sun was shining on the french windows.


    In the dining room, the servants served thest dish. Apart from the clinking of cups, there was no


    other sound in the dining room.


    The three people sitting by the table were extremely quiet, whereas no one felt anything wrong.


    Mrs. Zellweger put down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly. The servant next to her


    quickly poured a cup of tea for her.


    "At the end of this month, there will be a birthday party for Victoria Louise. I just received the invitation,


    but I''ll be in Ivend at that time, so I can''t attend. Take Adriana to the party, will you, Richard?"


    Adriana didn''t say anything. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.


    Even though Richard had already revealed her identity as his fiancée to the public, she had never


    attended any formal asions with Richard.


    The Louise family was on par with the Zellweger family in Kityall City. At that time, all the aristocrats in


    Kityall would gather together. This was the perfect opportunity to get people know her.


    "Yep." Richard said.


    His mother nodded with satisfaction and gave Adriana a look, indicating for her use this chance well.


    She''d never thought that this daughter-inw was a suitable match, but she was very satisfied with


    Adriana as she had always been very obedient and listened to her words. Therefore, she was willing to


    let the public know Adriana.


    Her daughter-inw must be able to withstand everyone''s scrutiny.


    "I''ve finished eating. I still have some work to do in thepany at night, so I''ll be leaving first,"


    Richard said as he put down his cutlery. As he stood up, he gave Mrs. Zellweger a slight nod with a


    straight face.


    "Can''t you sit for a while after eating?" Mrs. Zellweger was a little unhappy. "Always in such a hurry."


    "Later, I have to go to check out Casper. The doctor that he was not willing to rehabilitate once again."


    At the mention of Casper, Mrs. Zellweger frowned slightly, but it was unknown as to whether she was


    upset or worried.


    Then Richard and Adriana left together.


    Inside the car, Adriana looked at Richard''s face and said, "I''ll visit Casper with you, okay?"


    "Nope, he hasn''t been in a good moodtely and doesn''t want to see any outsiders."


    "Oh, alright."


    Adriana had seen Casper''s temper before. It was just a courtesy for her to ask him if she should go.


    She actually didn''t want to visit him at all.


    When she thought of Casper''s gloomy eyes when she first met him, she felt all the hair on her body


    stand on end.


    After being silent for a while, Adriana asked carefully, "About the birthday party for Victoria Louise, you


    don''t want to go, do you?"


    Richard didn''t like to attend any banquets. In his opinion, these were all unnecessary social events. It


    was rare for him to actually attend any banquets he''d been invited to.


    "If you don''t want to go, then forget about it. The doctor asked you to rest more. I''ll prepare a gift and


    send it to them in our stead."


    Originally, Richard didn''t want to go. He''d only promised his mother because he didn''t want to exin


    himself further. However, now that he saw Adriana being so considerate, he felt a little apologetic.


    He held Adriana''s hand and said calmly, "It''s okay. You just need to prepare yourself and attend the


    party with me. Thanks for your hard work."


    "It''s not hard at all." Adriana let out a sigh of relief as she smiled gently. "Everything I do is not hard,


    nothing could be considered as hard."


    Looking at her gentle and elegant face, Richard subconsciouslypared her to another face for no


    reason. That face was beautiful, mboyant, and independent, but the one in front of him was weak,


    gentle, and dependent.


    Most men would be attracted to the first one, but no matter how gorgeous and independent the woman


    was, if she was a fickle lover, she would only be a snake.


    It was enough to be bitten once. He would absolutely not forgive the venomous snake.


    Thinking of this, Richard''s face darkened, and his dark eyes became even more determined.
