Jean didn't answer Lilia, but he didn't tell Kenny to stop the car either. Smiling with satisfaction, the man turned his attention back to the document in his hand.

  As their car turned right at the intersection, the van behind them turned left and disappeared from view.

  Of course, Lilia didn't know that Kenny was just making it up about the paparazzi.

  When they arrived in front of Lilia's house, she looked around to make sure the paparazzi's car was gone before she got out of the car.

  Lilia bowed to Jean, "Thank you for driving me home, President Jean. I'll be back soon, so please wait here." She straightened up after saying that.

  Jean looked closely at Lilia. The woman's eyes sparkled with relief and her red lips curved into a broad smile. The light from the street lamp lit up her fair skin, making her figure glow in the dark night. Lilia was indeed worthy of being a popular model. Her beauty was able to move the hearts of others and make them unable to take their eyes off her.

  As Lilia looked up, she saw an unexpected sight. Jean stared at her with empty eyes. Lilia often saw similar gazes from her fans when she appeared as a model. Still, she could not believe that someone like Jean Widjaya could be charmed by a woman like her.

  Lilia's heart was pounding and she hurriedly slammed the car's door shut without waiting for Jean's reply. A feeling that couldn't be described in words filled Lilia's heart.

  She headed for the front door of her house while trying to unravel the strange feeling. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice the black Porsche that had just entered the garage of the house.

  "Lilia?"

  Lilia's steps stopped when she heard that voice. Once again Lilia cursed her luck today.

  "Isn't that Jean? Did he just drive you home?" Robert got out of his Porsche and stared at Jean's car in confusion.

  Lilia turned to her father, trying to find a way to explain this situation, "Um…… this……"

  This afternoon she had an argument with her mother about the contract marriage, but now her father saw Jean drive her home. This was why Lilia didn't want Jean to take her home.

  Seeing Lilia struggling with embarrassment, Robert took the initiative to approach Jean's car. Within seconds, Jean got out of the car and was following Robert.

  "…Come in, Mr. Jean. Sorry the house is a bit messy. We didn't expect that you would come to visit." He said welcoming as he invited Jean into the house. Robert gave his daughter a scolding gaze, berating her for letting Jean wait outside.

  "I do not mind. Excuse me, Mr. Robert." Jean walked past Lilia who was standing stunned. For an instant, Lilia was sure she saw an amused smile on Jean's face.

  Lilia frowned in confusion. Earlier, Jean forced her to have dinner together, but now that he dropped by her house, what exactly did he want?

  Lilia trailed behind the two men. Jean was much taller than his father's, and today he wore a custom-sewn brown coat and trouser. Unlike their first meeting, this time Jean didn't show any arrogance. He looked calm and polite, as if he was a son-in-law visiting his in-law's house.

  Lilia hurriedly erased the thought. When an arrogant man like Jean acted polite, it could only mean one thing; he wanted something in return.

  Contrary to his daughter's suspicious gaze, Robert studied Jean with a satisfied gaze. From their first meeting, he could see that this man paid special attention to his daughter and treated her well.

  "Mister Jean, while you're here, how about we discuss the building project over tea? There are several changes to the plan that I would like to discuss." Robert invited Jean in a friendly manner.

  Jean frowned for a moment, but then finally nodded, "…Okay."

  Lilia's suspicion grew even more when she saw Jean's obedient attitude. What was that man planning this time? Was that sneaky man planning to blackmail her father? In Lilia's eyes, she already considered Jean a sly man with evil intentions. If that man had known Lilia's thoughts, he would have immediately ordered her to correct her thoughts.

  Meanwhile, Lilia's mother heard about the visit of the fourth son of the Widjaya Family from one of the servants. Sylvia immediately put on her best clothes and rushed into the living room. However, Robert had already brought Jean to his study on the second floor, leaving Lilia to sit alone in the living room.

  Lilia watched her mother busy giving instructions to the servants to clean the house and prepare tea. She had never seen her mother treat a guest with this kind of care.

  Lilia got up from her chair silently and intended to run to her room, but Sylvia called out to her, "Lilia! Where are you going?! We have important guests, so why are you silent?!" Her mother scolded as she handed a tray of teapots and teacups, "Come on, bring this tea to your father's study! We need to make sure Young Master Jean feels warmly welcomed!"

  '?Why me too?! If you want to meet Jean, just go alone!' ?Lilia protested to herself. She didn't want to get close to Jean, but her mother's fierce face showed that she had no other choice.

  "……Yes." Reluctantly, Lilia accepted the tray.

  On her way to her father's study, Lilia had to listen to her mother who constantly nagged her to be careful and not spill anything. The scolding that came insistently made Lilia even more eager to spill the contents of the tray, especially on top of the sly Jean's head!
