Her expression still makes Baron feel a little sad. Compared with their original relationship, the sense of distance between them is very obvious now. Strange mood flashes by and Baron smiles at her, asking, “Florence, haven’t you always wanted to dissolve the relationship with Brian? Now, because of this incident, he can’t control you and Nelson. You should be happy, but why are you angry now?” “I indeed want to disconnect the relationship with Brian, but not by such an ignoble way!” “Why do you care about the process? As long as the result is what you want, it is ok.” He frowns.

Florence stares at Baron. Is this still the gentle and sunny person she knew in the past? She doesn’t know what to say, but she feels sad in her heart, and her expression gradually becomes cold. Now, she is different, not showing a smiling face to him as she used to. Now there is a little alienation and watchfulness on her face. Baron notices the changes in her look. In the past, due to their similar character, their relationship was also good in the Si family, but now it has changed a lot. More or less there is a little bit embarrassment in his heart, but when he thinks of what his old father has done to him, his heart hardens again, and he just feels that whatever he does is all right.

“Florence, I will send you a present later, you must watch it carefully.” Baron curls up his lips. For Florence, this sentence is a dangerous sign, and she frowns suddenly, “What else do you want to do?” The two are at a stalemate, and neither of them replaces Brian is not far away from them, and the conversation between them is heard clearly by him. Brian looks up withhis tranquil eyes. He used to think that they were allies. Now it seems that Florence is completely unaware of what Baron has done. A strange emotion comes into his heart, which seems to be a kind of joy.

A low-pitched voice escapes from his throat, and he says gently, “Rodney, send Miss Li home first.” “Yes, sir.” Rodney nods his head and gracefully walks towards Florence. The latter is still taken aback by Brian’s sudden appearance. Rodney has a mild smile on his face today, not as cold as before. He wants to relax Florence. Brian does not intend to separate her from Nelson. Florence also feels that she is overly alarmed. And she also needs to explain to Brian about the wedding, so she takes Nelson’s hand and gets into the car.

Brian gets into another car. He doesn’t talk with Baron, nor does he intend to get in the same car with Florence, because he knows how much hostility Florence bears against him. He doesn’t want her to be like a frightened bird, whenever she sees him, she will be nervous and guards him like an enemy. When the car in his eyes has driven away, Brian starts the car slowly but is going in another direction. Florence is sitting in the backseat. She knows that Brian is driving another car and does not get in this car. She looks in the rearview mirror but doesn’t see him.

It seems that she feels a lump in her throat. If he had got in the car just now, there would have been a lot to say. But he doesn’t even give her this opportunity. Florence lowers her head. It turns out that he is so disgusted with her that he is even unwilling to take the same car with her. Rodney sighs slightly when he notices her lost face in the rear-view mirror, but says nothing. Finally, as Brian orders, they are safely taken to the residence, a simple hotel. When Rodney sees it, he is a little surprised for this place is too crude. Good and evil people are also mixed up here. He wants to change the hotel for them because he knows that according to Florence’s temperament, it is impossible for her to go back to Si family with him again, so he changes his method to offer her help.

Florence smiles and refuses. She hugs Nelson tightly in her arms and smiles at Rodney, “Secretary Cao, thank you for your kindness. This environment is already very good for us. Comparatively, this is really nothing.” Rodney opens her mouth, but doesn’t know what to say. Florence thanks him with a bowed head, and there is warmth in her heart. She always believes that the people she meets are kind. Seeing her leaving with Nelson, Rodney stands still for a while without moving. When she said those words just now, he was a little distressed. Eventually, he comes back to his senses and replaces that it is beyond his responsibility. He quickly calms down and drives away.

After Florence coaxes Nelson to fall asleep, she takes a bath. But in this process, she keeps thinking about things related to Brian. Once associating the things Bonnie told her, it will make people feel terrible. If Antonia was deliberately approaching Brian because of Si family’s power, then everything she did had an impure purpose. Suddenly, Antonia’s unwilling eyes that they met for the last time appear in her mind. At that time, she thought that Antonia was reluctant to leave Brian, but now it seems that she is just reluctant to leave Si family, a good supporter for them.

She thinks about it, shivering uncontrollably. The sinister human nature can only be understood only after an experience of it. It turns out that there really exists such a person, and it’s true that someone uses love to gain some benefits. Antonia’s acting skills were so perfect that she didn’t see a little flaw. As proud as Brian, if he knew about it, how much would he suffer? Florence’s thinking spreads unconsciously, and she can’t hold it back at once. Until the water above her head becomes cold, she returns to reality, takes a bath towel and puts it on her body, curbing all her thoughts about Brian. Anyway, what he does is really irrelevant to her.

On the other side, Brian thinks about it and feels something is wrong. Baron can do everything, so he asks Rodney to investigate the “surprise” in Baron’s mouth. Although his father did not give the right of inheritance to Baron, everyone knows the existence of Baron, so if he wants to do something to him, he must have a justified reason. But in recent years he has been very low-key, and the source of his assets is blameless. Even Brian can only wait and see. And he has enough self-confidence that under his eyes, Baron will not make any big trouble, but he always does things rigorously and will not leave the other a chance to take advantage of it. The night shrouds the peaceful earth, but Brian knows that a silent war has begun.
