All the missed calls were from Daisy.
A trace of mockery flickered in Jolie's eyes, quickly replaced by deep helplessness.
Her resistance was so obvious, yet in the end, things didn't go as she wished.
She still couldn't shake off Gavin.
And this was only the first time.
There were still nine more to come.
If promises weren't fulfilled immediately, the timeline would stretch indefinitely.
This meant their interactions would continue.
And the Quin family's goal would be achieved.
Resisting further would only make her look like a joke.
She closed her eyes briefly, choosing not to call Daisy but to send a message instead.
"Out with friends."
Dais replied, "Then why didn't you answer my call? I thought something happened to you."
Looking at the message, Jolie found it laughable.
She didn't think Daisy truly believed something had happened to her; she simply assumed she was with Gavin.
That was why, after a few calls, Daisy stopped trying.
If Daisy truly thought she was in danger, she would have turned the world upside down to replace her.
Jolie wrote, "No, just stayed out late. My phone was on silent, so I didn't hear it."
Daisy replied, "Alright, come back early."
"Okay."
After putting her phone away, Jolie moved slightly, feeling a bit better, and got up to head to the bathroom to freshen up.
She noticed that new toiletries had been prepared, and neatly placed right next to Gavin's.
There was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Frowning, Jolie moved them aside.
She didn't like this kind of intimacy.
She and Gavin would never have that kind of intimate relationship.
Leaving the bedroom, she found breakfast on the dining table as expected-freshly baked croissants and a bowl of oatmeal, ready to be warmed and enjoyed. After finishing the meal, Jolie left directly.
She felt a strong aversion to this place and had no interest in even glancing around to see what Gavin's house looked like.
On her way, she stopped by a

The thought alone was terrifying.
As Selena drove past the area, she noticed Jolie coming out of the pharmacy and immediately pulled over. "Hey."
Hearing the voice, Jolie turned her head.
Seeing Selena, she looked surprised but quickly walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
"What's up?" Jolie asked, puzzled as she looked at her.
Selena glanced at her and asked directly, "Why were you coming out of there? Are you feeling unwell?"
Her concern was so straightforward that Jolie was momentarily taken aback, unsure how to respond.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jolie's eyes as she looked at Selena as if trying to confirm whether the person in front of her was really her.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Selena felt uncomfortable under Jolie's odd gaze and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing," Jolie replied. "I'm just not used to being cared for by my sister all of a sudden."
Her words left Selena momentarily speechless.
Looking away, Selena said stiffly, "Forget it if you don't want to talk. Get out of the car."
But Jolie fastened her seatbelt

instead. I'm not getting out. I don't want to go home, and I don't want to go to the Cooper estate. Take me somewhere to hang out."
Selena frowned and glanced at her but said nothing further, starting the car. Jolie asked, "Are you planning to stay in Larbor City permanently?" Selena responded with a simple "Yes."
Jolie smiled faintly. "That's nice."
She didn't elaborate on what she meant, and Selena didn't press for details.
Instead, she drove Jolie to the neighbourhood she was staying.
Jolie fell silent.
Looking at the familiar neighborhood, she realized she had just left this area earlier.
"You bought a house here?" Jolie asked.
Selena nodded. "Yes, I like the environment in this neighborhood."
Jolie sighed, rubbing her forehead. She suddenly regretted coming with her.
However, when Selena drove into the villa district, Jolie felt somewhat relieved.
Gavin's apartment was in a separate building, far from the villas. Staying here, she felt confident she wouldn't run into him.
