That sentiment was what made her act so recklessly.

Alick, filled with frustration, wanted to strangle Annis, but he knew he couldn't.

“Mr. Johnston," he called, pleadingly hoping for Isaac's assistance in dealing with Annis.

Isaac examined the wound around Alick's eye and made a decision.

“Ask your father to meet with me tomorrow."

Annis's eyes lit up with hope as she asked, "Are you going to tell my father?"

“Do I need to inform you about our conversation?" Isaac retorted, his voice now cold and distant.

It became apparent that Isaac had never considered himself Annis's brother.

Unfazed, Annis thought that if Isaac was willing to see her father, it meant there was a chance to talk.

Perhaps, he could even disclose her mother's grave.

“I'LL inform my father right away!" Annis exclaimed, her happiness evident.

Observing the situation, Alick breathed a sigh of relief.

“What if you acknowledge her as your sister?" he asked Isaac, seeking further resolution.

Isaac pulled his collar to loosen his shirt and issued a warning, "You can leave now."

Having made an appointment with Nelson, Isaac believed that it would help resolve the issue with Annis.

Recognizing Annis as his sister was out of the question.

As Isaac unbuttoned his shirt, he directed a cold stare at Alick, issuing a warning, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't help emKe

Alick promptly fell silent, knowing better than to push his luck any further.

Just then, Camila emerged and announced, "The water is ready."

Isaac stood up and made his way towards the bathroom, while Alick stole a quick glance at the location of the surveillance video before leaving the room.

Camila, observant of Alick's gaze, deduced the position of the surveillance camera.

However, she remained composed and showed no sign of suspicion.

She quietly took a seat on the sofa.

Repeating her words from the previous day, she said, “Please relax and try not to overthink.”

Just then, her phone began to ring in her pocket. Retrieving it, she noticed the caller ID displayed Jaylen's name.
