In the distance, Keira and Erin both frowned as they watched the situation unfold.

The two turned to Ryan simultaneously, only to find his expression as calm as ever. However, his gaze, fixed ahead, had become sharper, with a hint of menace in his eyes.

“Looks like this is the first time Ryan’s actually showing some emotion,” Erin whispered to Keira.

Before Keira could respond, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view of Ryan.

She paused, glancing up at Lewis. His face was as neutral as ever, and the move seemed almost unintentional. But knowing his jealous streak, Keira couldn’t help but laugh softly to herself and turned her gaze back to the scene ahead.

Unaware of what they were about to face, Darien and Mollie were still smiling. Darien looked at Ellie, patted her on the shoulder, and said casually, “You better behave from now on, got it?”

Ellie remained silent.

Mollie spoke up. “Darien, I don’t think she even listens to you. Why keep someone like that around? You should just fire her! What’s the point of keeping her in your house?”

Others began to chime in. “Yeah, Darien, just fire her!”

“Having someone like that around only brings bad vibes.”
