Jimmy escorted Madeline back to her room to rest.

In the elevator. Madeline glanced at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, thank you for spending

day with us. We had a great time"

"How do you know I wasn't just looking to relax myself a bit? Jimmy chuckled, with one hand in his pocket. "Your skin still hasn't fully recovered. Let's not go out tomorrow. We'll stay at the hotel to gen diving,

"Just go ahead with your plans and don't worry about me," Madeline said, shrugging, "I can use an umbrella and sunscreen. You wanted to go right! I can wait for you on the shore," "That won't do. It would be so boring" said Jimmy.

Madeline waved her hand and turned around, waiting for th

for the elevator doors to open

Stepping out of the elevator, Madeline was about to speak again when she noticed a girl squatting just outside.

The girl seemed to be around Madeline's age, with a sweet and gentle demeanor. Her pretty face was framed by large, expressive eyes that were filled with uncertainty and worry.

After seeing Madeline, the girl stared directly at Jummy behind her

Jimmy seemed slightly uncomfortable upon seeing the girl. Trene, why are you here?"

"Jimmy, you left everything at home unattended, disregarded how much my father values you, and suddenly took leave without a word just to be with her!" Irene glanced at Madeline, looking pitiable but with a hint of hostility in her eyes. "Does my father know you came out for a womant

"Jimmy, don't forget that you risked your life to become my father's right-hand man. It would be such a waste to jeopardize your career for a woman, don't you think?"

Irene's tone was ostensibly concerned but carried an undertone of warning.

As a woman, Madeline could immediately tell that Irene had a close relationship with Jimmy.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jimmy instinctively shielded Madeline behind him with a frown and said, "She's just my sister. Don't let anyone know where I am. And I wont press further on how you knew I was here."

His gaze wavered momentarily before he composed himself, turned to pat Madeline's head, and said, "Maddie, go back and rest. Don't worry about this. I spend time with you tomorrow"

Madeline glanced at Irene, then back at Jimmy, and said, "Okay"

As she walked past Jimmy, her phone buzzed. She took it out and saw a message from him that read, I'm sorry.]

Madeline was puzzled, thinking, "What's there to apologize for? Irene hasn't really done anything bad to lp me!

As she reached the door, she looked back and saw Irene abandoning her suitcase and rushing into Jimmy's arms. Jimmy's expression was stiff, but he didn't push her away.

The door slammed shut.

Jimmy averted his gaze, exhaled, and patted Irene on the shoulder. "Alright, Irene, I promised your father I'd be his successor and your support. 1 won't let you down"

Irene looked up, tears clinging to her eyelashes, and her pale face was full of sorrow. "Bethany also promised she wouldn't let me down, but this morning, she was suddenly taken away by my father. He said she was an undercover agent... I went to see her. Her bones were extracted, so she was formless like a pile of flesh"

Irene seemed nauseated, clutching gher chest and dry-heaving, "Jimmy. I was terrified, and all I could think of was finding you.

Irene took Jimeng's hand and pressed it against her face. Jummy, please stay with neu

me tonight. Thinking about Bethany keeps me awake."

Jimmy pulled his hand away and patted her head reassuringly. "Il get you a separate room"

"No" Irene held onto Jimmy, frowning "We've slept together before. Why can't we now? Are you worried that the girl will be unhappy? She's Clusian, like you, while I'm mised race. I'm different from you. Even if we're different races, I can still see that she's very beautiful Janiny, you never mumtioned having a sister befor. Are you lying? She is your girlsneid, kn't she?

Jimmy chuckled softly. "When we slept together before, it was in a pile of corpses. Things are different now. I need to respect you. Your father wouldn't want his precious daughter sharing a room with a man, would he?"

Irene's cheeks flashed. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you"

Gavin approached and saw the two of them being intimate. From a distance, he mistook Irene for Madeline and thought Jimmy was flirting with her. But as he got closer, he realized his mistake and thought that although Irene wasn't as pretty as Madeline, she was still quite charming.

"Hey, is this your girlfriend?" Gavin asked. Although he wasn't sure what was going on, he was quite pleased that another rival in love had been

climinated

"Jummy, you never told us you had such a beautiful girlfriend, You really kept that under wraps, Gavin said. He then turned to Irene and said. "Hi. you should have let us know you were coming. You've been waiting here with your luggage for a while, haven't your Irene, seeing the handsome Gavin, became much more polite. "Hello, are you Jimmy's elder brother? I'm Irene. Is that girl really jimmy's sister

"Used to be his sister; now she's lus sister-in-law. You've met Maddie? She is my girlfriend" Gavin handed Irene a drink. "It's a coincidence. Now it's two couples hanging out together

Irene took the drink, smiling slightly with a rosy blush on her checks. "This is the first time I've met Jimmy's friends. He's never shared his life with me before. This time. I'm so lucky. I hope to learn about another side of him from you.

"Not much different from what you see" Gavin casually keep her waiting too long."

Irene smiled. Her hair was long and glossy, and her skin was smooth and delicate. She and the handsome Jimmy seemed well-matched.

As Gavin went to join Madeline, Jimmy frowned slightly and said, Trene, you came here without telling your father. He might be worried. I'll take you to get something to eat and figure out how to explain your whereabouts to him.
