The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 148

Jessica asked softly, "Is that possible?"

Steven didn't answer directly. He merely said, expressionless, "Have you thought about what would happen if I intervened? If people start investigating me, then my past with Annalise will no longer be able to stay hidden." If things really escalated that far, the people who criticized Jessica would only get more numerous and malicious.

Jessica gradually sat up, her expression becoming serious.

Meanwhile, Steven subtly pulled away from her.

Jessica looked at him and asked, "Then, what do you think I should do to solve this?"

"Simple," Steven said flatly. "Keep an eye out on Zane's attitude."

Jessica was unwilling but couldn't find another solution, so she reluctantly agreed, "Alright."
