My Supermodel Wife

In Alan's view, this is just the result of sharing!

Now, Jean suddenly stepped in and destroyed his plan.

Alan can't understand Jean's ideas, but once the agreement is canceled, the land will be returned to Jean's name, so all the design plans his father had planned would go to waste.

He had a sullen expression as he said, "The agreement will not be canceled. However, I heard that my father was only involved in the design. Initially, during Chinese New Year, I was planning to discuss this matter with Chris, but he disappeared somewhere without news. Father and the others were busy looking for you, so the discussion was paused."

Alan's words were clearly inconsistent.

But he was able to express his expression calmly.

There are no fools here.

All could see that Alan was forcing his excuses.

After hearing this, Chris smiled softly. "In that case, I will return with you to the old house? after dinner. Originally, this land was meant for me and Jean to develop. Now that this land is a problem, it would be a shame not to discuss it thoroughly!"

It's a shame that Alan understood what he meant.

Jean is directly supervisioning the development of the land, so it could only mean one thing— if Chris doesn't participate in it, then the rest of the Hartanto family will not have the right for construction.

Alan was full of displeasure, but he had something else in his mind.

This is a really great way to lure out his opponent.

After a while, Alan frowned, then looked at Chris with dark eyes and nodded faintly. "Yes, they happened to be worried about you. Come back with me, so they can feel comfortable."

At this point, Tom started interrogating.

The land tenure problem was resolved, and Chris' tensed expression gradually loosened up.

He knew that this was a warning from Jean to the Hartanto family.

In fact, the plot of land had been planned by him and Chris for a long time.

But at that time, Chris pretended to ignore him and showed his strong intention to develop Gaia with gusto and let Jefferson drop his guard.

However, it seemed that he talked a lot with Jean when he left a year ago.

After returning to Indonesia, he found out about the matter after conducting an investigation.

Thinking of this, Chris stared at Jean's indifferent face, and his heart was burning in flames.

It's great to have a brother like him!

...

Lilia and Rachel took a walk in the corridor of the restaurant's backyard.

She didn't go to the bathroom, she was just trying to get Rachel out for a private chat.

What Tom said to her really made her alert.

Lilia didn't want to argue, she only wanted to understand her friend's current thoughts.

At that moment, Rachel was walking while looking at Lilia's back, feeling uncomfortable. As she walked, she hesitated to explain about herself.

Seeing the exit at the front of the corridor, Rachel stopped and cleared her throat. "Lilia, I..."

It's hard to put it into words.

Hearing that voice, Lilia also stood still and turned around, the light from above shone on them. It was clear that at such a close distance, she could not understand what this panic in her friend's eyes meant.

Lilia suppressed the suspicions in her thoughts, then looked closely at Rachel. "Are you going on a business trip tonight?"

Rachel stared at her for a moment, she hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, at first, it was an afternoon flight, but since Mr. Alan had some temporary business, he changed the schedule into the night."

She sounded like… she was making an excuse.

Lilia didn't try to accuse her of lying presumptuously. She may not quite understand people's feelings, but she still knows whether her friend is lying or not.

They were close friends and Lilia didn't want to speculate about her maliciously.

Maybe there is something that cannot be expressed.

She shifted his gaze and stared at the dark night outside the window. "Is it just me or you and Alan… seem very close?"

Rachel narrowed her eyes, wrinkled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment. "What do you want to ask?"

She was afraid that her thoughts would be exposed, and the nervousness she felt inside didn't help.

Because of that, she felt embarrassed by Lilia's tentative words.

Lilia still had some trust left, and when she turned to face Rachel, she gave a slightly exaggerated smile. "You think I was asking you?"

Rachel shook her head hurriedly. "No, I didn't mean that!"

Lilia looked at her with hot eyes, and soon after that she said bitterly, "Do you like him?"

The last thing a woman can't hide is her feelings for others.

Even if she were to forcefully deny it, a human's feelings couldn't be completely hidden.

At this moment, Rachel's face almost panicked, which further confirmed Lilia's guess.

She kept blinking her eyes, and even her breathing became short.

The two were just facing each other, and neither of them spoke.

Lilia couldn't help thinking back to the report about her friend's family that went bankrupt.

If she knew the truth, could she continue to hold on to these feelings?

She didn't know how long it took, but Rachel's hands hanging from her side slowly clenched into fists.

Her eyes were filled with stubbornness, and her voice was choked. "Lilia, even you… you think ... I don't deserve him, right?!"

Lilia. "..."

These words surprisingly hurt her, a little painful.

Can time really change people this fast?

Lilia's no longer calm eyes showed an extremely complicated wave.

She leveled Rachel's brave posture and smiled bitterly. "I haven't seen you in a few months, why do you think that way? Rachel, did I give you the wrong idea?"

Rachel knew she had said the wrong thing.

She stepped forward frantically, and explained inconspicuously, "Lilia, I'm sorry, I don't envy you, I just..."

She didn't know exactly what that meant.

Perhaps it was the fact that she was trying to hide her heart from a painful reality that she dared not face.

Or perhaps, her mood had changed dramatically after she got with Alan.

Rachel wanted to slap herself, she bit her lip tightly and her body trembled. After a long pause, she said exasperatedly, "Lilia, what to do, I really... I really like him."

At first, she just wanted to be with him in silence, but unfortunately, she wanted more.

Her feelings became increasingly out of control and now she even fell in love with him.

Obviously, she had taken a lot of damage, but she still fell from her sky and couldn't help herself.

For the first time in a long time, she spoke about her love so candidly, and in an instant, tears were already in front of her eyes.

Rachel covered her mouth and continued apologizing to Lilia.

She lied to her best friend, saying that she was about to go for a business trip where in fact there was no such thing at all. She only valued the time she spent with Alan, so she chose to stay with him in the company.

She said that she liked Alan and really wanted to be with him, but that she didn't feel worthy of him.

She talked a lot, cried at every word, but at this time, Lilia didn't even make a sound.
