With that, he turned and left. 

“Lenny…” Lauryn called after Lennon’s retreating figure. 

“Look at how he’s acting now!” Bella was furious. 

“Mom, I’ll take my leave too.” Rayne glanced at Bella’s expression, softening her tone.“Please calm down.” 

Bella looked coldly at Rayne.“Calm down? If you didn’t anger me, would I need to calm down?” 

Rayne was at a loss for words, sighing silently. 

“Grandma, try the coffee I brewed. It’s your favorite bean.” Lauryn handed the teacup to Bella.“See if my skills have improved.” Bella took a sip, her expression softening slightly.“You’re so sweet.” 

Rayne glanced at Lauryn, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Royce had always had little say in the family. With the troublemaker being his illegitimate son this time, he had even less face to speak. 

Royce pretends to be deaf and dumb to the conflict between Bella and Lennon, acting as if he heard nothing. He took a sip of coffee, made a few symbolic remarks, and then left. 

During the law firm meeting, Mariela was somewhat distracted. 

After the meeting, she returned to her office to organize materials. 

Soon, there was a knock on the door. 

The next second, the door opened, and Bryce appeared at the entrance.“Ms. Logan, may I come in?” 

Mariela nodded. “Please.” 

Bryce walked in. 

Mariela asked, “Is it about the BioLumina Group case? I was just about to look for you. That case is quite complex. I’d like to hear your thoughts.” 

BioLumina Group was a biotech company, and its CEO was an old friend of Deandre’s. Shortly after Mariela’s law firm opened, BioLumina Group entrusted them with several cases. 

One of them had very complex legal relationships, with incomplete evidence, making it a high–risk case. 

Bryce, however, shook his head.“I didn’t come to talk about the BioLumina Group case.” 

Mariela looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes.“Then why?” 

“Have you been troubled lately?” 

Mariela paused.“You noticed?” 

“Yes.” Bryce smiled.“You’ve been distracted, almost as if you had ‘I’m troubled‘ written on your face.” 

Mariela pursed her lips. “Is it really that obvious?” 

“Very.” 

“Alright.” Mariela lowered her lashes, speaking somewhat gloomily.“Something happened to my family recently.” 

Bryce’s eyes darkened with concern.“May I ask what happened?” 

Mariela thought for a moment, then said, “My sister had an incident. Her mental state is very poor now. I’m very worried about her.”
