Ralph's casual words immediately raised the tension between him and Ryan.

Ryan's eyes widened, and the nerves in his body tensed.

Territorial and protective? Was Ralph referring to Carrie? Why did Ralph suddenly refer to him with that?! Ryan had only left for a short time, yet there had already been a thief in his home, trying to steal from him?! "Ralph? You haven't left yet?"

Just as the two men were stuck in a deadlock, Bella and Justin walked over after hearing the commotion.

Bella sharply noticed that the two men seemed to be confronting each other, and her gaze turned suspicious.

"Oh, I'm not quite sure how to open this door. Luckily, Mr. Hoffman was back and opened it for me. I will leave now."

Ralph turned back and smiled brightly at Bella, as if nothing had happened. "Bella, after I'm done with work, let me bring you out for a trip. You shouldn't just spend your time with one guy. It'll be boring!" Justin was speechless.

Although he knew it was a joke and that Ralph was Bella's brother, Justin still could not help but feel jealous.

After Ralph left, Ryan still had not calmed his emotions. Warning bells were ringing in his mind.
