Chapter 233

I called Ivy. She didn't pick up the first time, so I called again

Ivy's voice came over the phone, and she sounded angry. "Evelyn, you litle bitch! Your father is in this state because of you! Why are you calling me?

I said nothing and just placed my newly manicured nails on Elene's red and swollen face.

Elene immediately burst into tears. "Mom, save me!"

Ivy was immediately startled, but she recovered very quickly, and her tone changed at once. "Is that you, Ellie? What have you done to Ellie, Evelyn?"

I scoffed and put the phone back against my ear. "Ivy, you've got it all wrong. It isn't what I did to Elene. You should be asking what your precious daughter did to

"I'll give you half an hour. Oh, wait..." I paused and flashed a smile. "Let's meet at the Wiley residence tomorrow at 9:00 am."

With that, I hang up.

Back at Zen Apartment, Liam tied Elene's hands and feet up and tossed her onto the balcony.

Elene kept crying. "Evelyn, let me gol How dare you hold me captive? I want to call the police!"

Her crying annoyed me, so I tumed and went into the Idtchen to get a dishong. I stood in front of Elene and said coldly, "Shut up, or I'll stuff this in your mouth." Liam crossed his arms and stood beside me, rubbing has chin. "Perhaps I should go and get the toilet brush?" They stink equally."

He mudged me with his shoulder and tumed to smile at me. "Hey. I think the toilet brush would suit her better. T Iraised an eyebrow and looked at Elene.

"No!" Elene stopped crying at once. "I won't cry anymore. I don't want the dishrag."

Liam crouched down. "And?""

Huge tears slid down her cheeks as Elene looked at me. "I won't insult anyone anymore either."

"Alright." Liam nodded and stood up slowly. "If you start cursing again, the toilet brush will be brought to you for sure."

Elene was frightened and shrank back into a corner, suppressing her sobs. I glanced at her, but I could no longer be bothered with her, so I turned and returned to my bedroom

After showering and getting changed, it was already past 10:00 p

10:00 pm. I hadn't had much to eat at the banquet, and my stomach was rumbling

I glanced at the living room, but there was no sign of Liam. I thought that he had left, so I turned and went into the kitchen to replace something to eat. I spotted him standing in the kitchen next to the fire escape, holding a bottle of beer. He was staring intently at Elene. pout of mel Why do you walk so silently?"

I pulled the fridge door open and took out a bottle of beer. I ran my fingers through my damp hair. "I feel like you're forgetting your place. Remember, we're in my place right now.

Liam smiled in embarrassment. "Do we really have to draw such clear boundaries between us?"

1 flashed a small grin at him and shut the fridge door with a snap, I walked out with the beer in my hand. "I'm your boss. Don't get cheeky with me."

Liam glared at me.

1 suppressed a simile as I sat on the couch. He sat beside me.

It had been approximately two months since we'd left Yardville. When w

I had assumed that it would make me think of Grandma again, but now it felt alright. I didn't feel so upset.

we first got back, I'd thought that I wouldn't be able to stand coming back to the apartment.

When we'd drunk half the beer in our bottles, Liam said, "Your little sister is kind of fim."

I cocked my head to one side as 1 looked at him. Liams leaned against the soda, looking very content. "Look, she's still so paive even in the circumstances. Isn't that Interesting? If you were just a tiny bit as naive as she was, I'd be the boss of our company. "You are obviously dreaming." I grinned back at him and instinctively looked at Elene.
