Chapter 207

“What’s going on?” The sudden power outage startled Damon, who immediately jumped to his feet in alarm

On the other hand, Bennett was much calmer. He opened the bedroom door and looked circuit breaker tripping”

the pitch–black hallway, saying, “It’s probably just the

“The circuit breaker tripped?” Damon frowned, finding it hard to believe. “Why would it trip for no reason! What are the maintenance guys even doing! Sitting around and getting paid for nothing!”

“Alright, alright.” Bennett defended the maintenance team and said, People make mistakes sometimes. It’s already so late at night. Why are you so anxious! Just have someone gocheck.”

Damon furrowed his brows, finding something off about the outage.

Feeling uneasy, he turned to Bennett and said, “Hennett, let’s talk about the gifts tomorrow. The power just went out all of a sudden, and I check on Leia. She scares easily, I don’t want her to freak out,”

Just as Damon reached the door, Bennett stopped him.

“What are you doing, Bennett?” Damon halted his steps and asked in confusion.

He glanced back at Bennett, and in the dun glow of the phone’s cold white light, Benner’s handsome and gentle features took on an eerie and almost chilling quality.

For a brief moment, it frightened Damon.

But almost instantly, he realized he must have been seeing things. Because upon closer look, Bennett still looked just as calm and composed as ever With his lips slightly curved, Bennett teased, “Damon, it’s late, and the power’s out. Why are you running to Leia’s room? Even real siblings set boundaries, let alone Leia, who isn’t even related to us by blood. If you keep staying so close to her, people might start questioning you.“– Hearing Bennett vinsinuation, Damon immediately grew agitated.

His face darkened as he said unhappily, “Bennett, what are you trying to say! Blood–related or not, I’ve always seen Leia as my sister. We’ve been siblings for 18 years. Do you think that would suddenly turn into something else?“

“Why are you getting so worked up?” Seeing Damon about to explode, Bennett quickly slung an arm around his shoulders and laughed.

“Of course, I believe you. But if word got out, would others believe it? Most people only see the surface. When they think of wealthy families, they will associate them with all sorts of filthy scandals. Even if you’re just looking out for Leia, you still need to be careful. The world doesn’t run on what you think is fine. Got it?” Bennett added.

Damon was deep in thought, wondering if he should keep a distance from Leia

But before he could think further, a terrified scream was suddenly heard from the hallway near the stairs. “Ahhh”

Danson recognized the voice immediately. It was Leia.

“Lela” Without hesitation, Damon rushed toward the sound.

At the same time, the lights in the villa suddenly came back on

When Damon arrived, he saw Leia and Noelle standing face to face in the hallway.

Lela lurched her chest, still trying to calm herself down. She complained with annoyance, “Noelle! Were you trying to scare me to death? It’s so late

night and you’re walking without making a sound. I nearly fell down the stairs when you bumped into met”

Noelle pouted “Talways walk lightly. But Leia, why were you coming up from downstairs?”

She blinked at Noelle and corrected her, “Noelle, I didn’t come upstairs. I was just about to go downstairs, but when I heard footsteps, I turned around. That’s when you lamped into mor

Gritting her teeth, Leu forced a smile and said, “I didn’t put it accurately. I should’ve said that I sensed someone behind me, so I turned around.”

“Wow” Noelle’s eyes widened in an exaggerated expression of admiration as she said. “I see. Leia, you’re really impressive. I’m really good at hiding my presence. Most people don’t even notice when I get close. But you actually sensed me”

Leis rolled her eyes inwardly and pondered, Is she mocking me? Damn it. Noelle is such a bitch! Every word she speaks is dripping with sarcasm. Hiph. Let’s see how long she can keep this up‘

Leia was fed up with Noelle, but she still kept a smile on her face and playfully said. “That just proves we’re so in sync. No matter where you are, I can always sense you.”
