Aaron watched the scene unfold with a faint smirk, clearly amused and making no effort to intervene.

Selena's eyes grew even more resentful as she glanced at him, silently begging for rescue.

After a moment, Jolie finally released her, noticing the stiffness in her posture. With reddened eyes, she said softly, "I'll take a look around."

"Go on, go on," Selena said quickly, waving her hand like she had just been freed from a burden.

Jolie began exploring the apartment. The three-hundred-square-meter flat was spacious and fully equipped. With just a few groceries and some basic household items, it was ready to live in. When she returned to the living room, she saw Selena ending a phone call.

"I've already arranged for someone to pick up what you need. For now, don't go out," Selena said firmly.

Jolie hesitated. "The flight lands in a few hours. Are you sure no one will realize something's off?"
