With Titus Zane absent, the atmosphere in the entire villa seemed to fall.
Having completed their fundamental tasks, Aunt Liu and Chun Ya retired early to their rooms, not daring to linger in the living room to watch TV.
Nathan Moore remained standing in front of the window, his handsome face more sullen than the darkness outside.
Olivia Zane silently kept him company in the living room, initially hoping to add fuel to the fire, but Nathan's earlier reaction really frightened her, so she said nothing more.
It was past midnight, and Titus Zane had not returned, her phone consistently off.
In two adjacent rooms on the second floor, neither Nathan Moore nor Olivia Zane could sleep.
In the darkness, Olivia Zane leaned against the bed, still on the phone.
"...Mom, what should I do if she really eloped with Logan Ray?"
"Don't worry, she won't."
From the other end of the phone came Ariana Evans's assertive voice.
