Anne looked at Raina's face, which was well-maintained for her age. Seeing that it had turned red with anger, Anne was secretly proud of herself, She would not allow anyone to insult Charlotte.

When Shane arrived at the location that Braden sent him, he stepped into this seemingly ordinary apartment.

"Don't tell the old lady that I'm the one who leaked the information!"

Braden pretended to be pitiful as he looked at Shane who was walking forward and ignoring him. Fortunately, Shane did not say anything.

Standing in front of a half-covered door, the air around Shane was getting grimmer and more menacing. There was no emotion in his amber eyes. He said word by word, "What are you doing here?" "How did you know I was here?"

Raina couldn't help but glare at Braden, who hurried forward to stand between her and Anne.

"It's not me!"

Braden still maintained a casual attitude and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Enough! Are you not satisfied with policing the whole family? Now you're trying to do this to other people as well?"

Shane looked down at Raina, who stood in front of him, and the chill in his voice made Anne tremble involuntarily.

It was so grim...

"Sir, Madam Raina is just concerned about you..."

Aunt Ophelia, who was standing beside Raina, spoke out, hoping to mediate the situation.

"That's enough. Let's go."

Raina looked into her son's hateful eyes and felt as if her heart had been pierced by an arrow. She was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

"Madam, why don't you let me tell Mr. Fuller why you did this? If you keep hiding this secret from him, your relationship will worsen."

When they returned to the car, Aunt Ophelia asked anxiously.

"He doesn't need to know."

Raina slowly closed her eyes, and a tear trickled down her cheek. Aunt Ophelia, who was sitting next to her, shook her head in silence.

Back in the apartment, when Anne realized that she and Braden were the only ones left, she slowly raised her head and asked, "Why do I sense that Mr. Fuller and his mother don't get along? They aren't close either. The atmosphere is seriously tense."

"I'm not sure either."

Braden shrugged his shoulders innocently.

Although he and Shane had known each other for so many years, there were some things that he usually steered clear of.
