Chapter 152:

He usually maintained his composure, but the sight of her with another man made him unable to control himself. Just as he was about to take off his shirt…

“Bryan!”

Milford’s voice echoed from outside the room.

Bryan stopped abruptly and muttered a curse. It seemed like it was always the wrong place or the wrong time.

Eileen quickly straightened her clothes and exited the room.

Upon seeing Eileen emerge from Bryan’s room, Milford was taken aback.

In the study, Adalina was still recovering from the shock of seeing Arthur. The sound of the door swinging open startled her again.

“Are you scared?” Eileen asked, sitting down across from Adalina.

“No, it’s just that I’ve never encountered someone like that before,” Adalina replied.

Eileen just smiled, not continuing on that topic. She bowed her head to peruse the notes from the last lecture.

“Who did you invite into the group chat?” she asked Adalina.

Eileen noticed that someone had just been added to the group chat by Adalina moments before.

Adalina responded without hesitation, “Milford.”

“Milford? But isn’t this account Milford’s?” Eileen questioned, pointing to the account she had added to the group chat.

Adalina parted her lips to reply, but before she could speak, Milford walked in and interjected, “Is there an issue if I use more than one account?”

He snorted coldly, settling into a chair to read the study materials.
