Alex frowned, pulled his gaze away, and gave Justin a warning look. “Shut up!”

Justin pouted, “Uncle Alex, that guy wants to mess with you! He’s flirting with Ellie. That homewrecker deserves a beating!”
Alex was at a loss for words.
Barry, on the other side of the black Bentley, quietly ducked his head.
Seeing Ellie not even give him a glance as she walked with Leonard to a nearby white sedan, Alex turned and got into his car.
“Justin, listen up! Don’t go bothering them.”
Alex sat in the backseat of the luxury car, watching through the window as Ellie and Leonard stood talking beside the car nearby.
Justin said, “Uncle Alex, if she’s not your woman, then I’m going after her.”
Seeing Alex remain silent, Justin rubbed his hands excitedly. “I thought Ellie was with you, Uncle Alex.”
Alex replied coolly, “If you’re not scared of her coming after you go ahead and give it a shot!”
Watching Ellie get into Leonard’s car and leave, Alex gently closed his eyes and said, “Let’s head back to the office.”

Because of the incident involving Justin and Leonard, Ellie decided to take the day off.
When she got home in the afternoon, she was surprised to find Aaron had actually come back. “Aaron, did you take time off?”
“I have some things to do, heading out for a bit.”
Aaron didn’t look very well, and after a quick chat with Ellie, he hurried out the door.
Before 5 PM, Aaron arrived at the Mosley residence.
“The biggest mistake in chess is losing focus.”
Declan noticed Aaron seemed preoccupied and asked, “Is work going well lately?”
Aaron replied, “Thanks for asking, professor. Everything’s going well.”

Following Aaron’s gaze to the staircase, Declan smiled and said, Diana is in the music room. Go ahead.”
Caught off guard by his teacher, Aaron felt too embarrassed to know what to say.
However, he gathered his courage and headed upstairs.
At the door of Diana’s room on the third floor, Aaron knocked.
Hearing Diana’s voice from inside, Aaron opened the door and stepped in.

Chapter 341
Although he had been to the Grant Manor before, it was his first time going upstairs, especially to Diana’s room.
Just outside the living room, Diana was in a bright green coral fleece pajama set, sprawled over the coffee table sketching. She knelt barefoot on the carpet, her pink slippers scattered–one near the bedroom door and the other under her knee. Sketches were piled high on the coffee table, while a bag of snacks lay scattered on the keyboard.
The couch was a mess with scattered pillows, scarves, and jackets…
The more Aaron looked, the deeper his frown of concern grew.
“What are you doing here?”
Seeing Aaron, Diana swiftly tossed her pen and lunged for the sofa.
With quick reflexes, Aaron grabbed the handbag on the sofa before Diana could.
“Give it back!”
Though she held a black belt in taekwondo, Diana’s skills were no match for Aaron’s, but her reflexes were incredibly fast. She wrapped her legs around Aaron’s waist, pinning him on the couch, threatening, “Give it back or I’ll yell harassment!” Suddenly feeling empty–handed, Aaron watched as the handbag was flung into the bedroom by Diana.
With a quick move, he flipped her over, pinning her to the couch as he tried to pry her legs apart to enter the bedroom, grabbing something from his bag, only to be held back by her again.
Aaron commanded, “Let go of your legs and let me in.”
She snapped back, “No way!”
Aaron insisted, “Give it to me!”
She refused, “Not a chance!”
She warned, “If you try anything, I’ll have my brothers beat you!
Suddenly, there was a collective gasp from the doorway, followed by a thud as someone fell inside.
She looked towards the door and saw her brothers all staring directly at her and Aaron.
