The Kent family mansion...

Rowdy immediately learned that his Scott Group had won the auction and got the greenfield site at 27.9 billion because the Lambert Group gave up.

"Bang-"

Rowdy smashed an antique vase and the pieces were spread all over the ground. The two men who had told him the news froze there in cold sweat, not able to utter a single word.

"I asked you to keep an eye on her. Did she contact Brian's men at the auction?" Rowdy shouted with a murderous look. It seemed that his words were full of anger.

The two men kept stuttering. One of them finally said in his normal voice, "Brother Rowdy, back then I was monitoring Miss Xu's communication, and Ah Li was watching her. But in the end... we didn't find anything wrong with her."

Rowdy glared at him with his fierce eyes. "Not at all?"

Ah Li shook his head with fear. "Not at all. "Miss Xu didn't touch her phone at all. She was just bidding and bidding at the auction. So she couldn't have contacted Brian's men. "By the way, she only talked with Gavin after the auction."

Rowdy stared at Ah Li as if he were trying to dig two holes in him. "What did she say to him?"

"Gavin asked her something, but we didn't hear him clearly. I heard Miss Xu say that she didn't regret her choice. She said Joanne and Brian couldn't affect her at all. "Oh, she also said that she had gotten close to Wesley and the others on purpose."

Rowdy finally calmed down and said, "OK. You may leave."

After the two men left the living room, Rowdy seated himself on the sofa and began to ponder.

He thought that maybe it was time for him to trust Yuna.

He had never trusted Yuna to the fullest before that moment.

He knew better than others what kind of person Yuna was because he had trained her himself. He knew that Yuna would soon be out of his control the time he found that Yuna had always hesitated and failed to fulfill her missions time and again when she worked undercover around Wesley.

Back then, he decided to either find a way to make Yuna return to him willingly or kill her.

In the end, Rowdy made the former choice, which was framing Wesley up after killing Granny Wallace to convince Yuna that Wesley was her mortal enemy, and then making overtures of friendship to lure her back.

However, he found that the Yuna who had returned to him was like a changed person. He told himself that maybe she was deeply affected by Granny Wallace's death, but he didn't intend to trust her.

After all, he knew the best how intelligent Yuna was.

The reason why he had told her about his unlimited bidding strategy was to find out who she really was.

He wanted to see if Yuna could make up her mind to deal with Brian and whether she would tell him about it.

He thought to himself, "Now it seems that I made the right decision."

With that, the anger in Rowdy's eyes gradually turned into calmness. He checked the time, wondering if Yuna would return home soon.

At that very moment, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps and then saw Yuna walk into the living room in a hurry.

"What happened?" Yuna frowned and asked, "Didn't you tell me that Lambert Group would offer 28 billion in the end? "Why did Gavin stop after he bid 27 billion yuan?"

Rowdy stood up to Yuna in his arms and looked at her with a slight smile.

It wasn't the first time Rowdy had been close to her like that. Yuna found that she had overestimated herself, although she once thought that she should have gotten used to it.

She found she would never get used to that because she felt hatred for Rowdy both mentally and physically.

"What on earth happened?" Yuna managed to hide her hatred with a feigned unhappy look. "How can you smile?"

"Why not? "Something pleasing happened just now." With that, Rowdy grinned.

"..." Yuna tilted her head to show that she was unhappy and she wasn't interested in what he said.

However, she guessed why Rowdy felt pleased.

"Take it easy." Rowdy cupped Yuna's face in his hands and gently looked into her eyes. "It's not your fault. Maybe I got false news. Maybe Lambert Group could offer at most 27 but not 28 billion."

Yuna looked at him with a scowl. "False news?"

"I heard about it, so I couldn't be sure." Rowdy's hands trailed down while touching her arms, stopping at her palms and holding them. "But I'm sure about something else now."

Yuna pretended to be confused. "What's that?"

Rowdy gazed at Yuna with even deeper feelings. "Yuna, I'm glad to see you back." With that, he bowed to kiss Yuna's lips-

Yuna pushed him away before Rowdy could kiss her and asked with astonishment, "What did you mean by that? "Did you say that I'm back now? "I had already returned to you!" She broke away from Rowdy, seemingly agitated.

"Yuna..." Rowdy tried to Yuna again, but she dodged before he could do that.

"So you've never trusted me." Yuna sneered as if laughing at herself. "So you told me to bid regardless of limits on purpose, didn't you? "You thought that I would tell Brian about it. You wanted him to keep bidding against me so that you could both know what my intentions were and make Lambert Group suffer a heavy loss! "You took advantage of me instead of trusting me!"

"Yuna, I..." Rowdy wanted to explain but failed.

Yuna had no intention of listening to his explanation at all. The anger in her eyes disappeared as she calmed herself down.

Yuna turned to leave the mansion of the Kent family without uttering a word.

"Miss Xu." Ah Li greeted Yuna as he saw her come out. "Where are you going? Should I give you a lift?"

Yuna shouted coldly, "Go away!"

Ah Li was stunned. He froze there, watching Yuna drive away.

After a while, Rowdy went out of the mansion.

Ah Li said with confusion, "Brother Rowdy, Miss Xu just left."

Rowdy threw Ah Li a tablet computer and said, "There's a tracker in her car. You can see where she is on this tablet. Just follow her from a distance and keep her safe."

"Got it." Ah Li turned on the tablet and saw a 3D map of the nearby area. There was a red dot flashing and shifting fast on the screen.

Ah Li hastened to get in the car and drove after Yuna.

He might have been left dozens of kilometers behind if he drove slowly since Yuna was speeding like crazy.

After running for more than half an hour, their cars stopped by the riverside outside a villa district.

It was a famous landscape river in Arlington; the area had been well-decorated. It was evening; there were a lot of people walking and jogging along the riverside.

Yuna walked up to the riverside and rested her upper body on the fence and then stood there stock-still. Ah Li could neither see her face nor figure out what she was thinking about.

Yuna was lost in her thoughts.

She recalled that she and Wesley had lived together in that villa district.

The reason why she had decided to go to Arlington was probably that Wesley had always been there when he was out of Glasgow.

She wondered, "But what's the point of going where Wesley has been? "There's no turning back for me now. "And I will die at any time."

She had never thought that she had to face a disease at a young age. However, she was calmer than she had expected when thinking of the disease that could endanger her life. She realized that, instead of love or romance, her priority at that moment was to help Brian get rid of Rowdy and avenge her grandmother.

She could free Wesley from worries and have the courage to meet her grandmother in another world after she died only if she got rid of Rowdy.

With that in mind, Yuna looked at that villa district with a faint smile on her face.

However, she couldn't help thinking to herself, "Will Wesley feel sad if I die? Maybe it will take him some time to remember me."

"Maybe Wesley already has another lady by now. Maybe he only bears hatred towards me now."

With that, Yuna's smile faded. She leaned against the fence at the riverside like an extremely tired old man, fixing her dull eyes on the peaceful river as if she was either trying to relax herself or pondering over something important.

After a while, night came and darkness fell.

The old who had been walking and the young who had been jogging there left for home one after another. Yuna was still there resting herself on the fence at the riverside, with no intention of leaving.

Rowdy drove there and saw Yuna from a distance. If it weren't for being familiar with her, he would have thought that there was a statue by the river.

He walked up to Yuna and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Yuna wasn't surprised to see Rowdy there. She glanced at him indifferently and said, "I just don't understand why the one who shouldn't have trusted me never doubted me, while the one who should have trusted me never has."

Rowdy said, "My apologies."

Yuna gave him a wintry smile. "You once told me that people like us never accept an apology."

Rowdy gave her a helpless look, which was rare for him. "Well, tell me, what do you want?"

"I want to think it over." Yuna rested her chin on her hand for a while and said, "Well, you have to say yes when I ask you for something in the future!"

"No problem." Rowdy smiled and asked, "What will you ask me for?" There was a hidden meaning about intimacy in his words.

Yuna knew how to deal with that. She chuckled and said, "I don't know for now. But it's not what you think!"

With that, she left the riverside and walked toward the parking lot. Rowdy gazed at her back with a grin.

If Yuna had looked back, she would have found that it was the sincerest smile Rowdy had ever given-it was a pure smile with no malice.

It was a smile from the bottom of his heart.
