Lina waved her hand, and Chris rushed over.

“I need to take care of Sephy!” Lina smiled. “Can you look after Lenny for me?”

Chris eagerly agreed. He hadn’t come over earlier because Elijah and Lina were present—one was Lina’s brother, and the other was her best friend. Approaching them at that moment would have seemed awkward.

Now, he straightened his back, ready to place his hand on Lina’s shoulder, only to feel a force grabbing his wrist.

“What are you doing?” Chris was puzzled.

“What are you doing?” Elijah narrowed his eyes. “How dare you touch my sister in front of me?”

Chris was at a loss of words.

It seemed like they had never quite gotten along from the very first time they met. At that time, Chris didn’t even know that Elijah was Lina’s brother, and he had treated him as a potential rival.

Now… it seemed like things had gotten even worse.

“What else is there to discuss?” Chris asked.

“Such as… her position in the Chriss Group after this!”

“Right!” Chris slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering. “You just said that the Chriss Group and the Hamerton Group are collaborating on a project. As a sign of goodwill, the Chrisses want to form a union with us Hamertons, marrying Lenny to—”

“Is that so?” Elijah feigned ignorance. “What did I say just now? I forgot.”
