Chapter 240 | couldn’t help thinking that Ewan was exaggerating. Was Steven that scary? Ewan'’s respect was a little over the top.

| didn’t lose my cool. If the Larsons wanted to cause a scene, so be it. There wasn’t anyone else at the Lincoln residence aside from Ignatius, who could only get mad since he was paralyzed in bed.

“Mr. Lincoln... there's also strouble with the Lincoln family. Mr. Dax has been arrested under the suspicion of being involved in an abduction and murder-for-hire case. But...” Ewan hesitated. “I'm sorry about this, sir. The weeds are too entangled to be cleared in one 1. go.

If one didn’t make sure to thoroughly exterminate the pests in one’s life, the pests would eventually return.

“We'll just have to make sure the gardeners clear them more frequently. Even if we can’t uproot them, we still have to scare the weeds and let them know they'll be removed if they grow too quickly,” Steven said softly.

| could tell he was insinuating something, but | was a little embarrassed to ask with him and Ewan being so open around me.

After dinner, Steven leaned on my shoulder and asked, “Do you want to watch a show?” ny self.

Now that Ewan wasn’t around, he was back to being his clingy “Well, | have a show for you.” | raised an eyebrow and held his hand. “I bet Charles and Nadia want nothing more than to rip my throat out now.” x] They had to be furious over their precious Ann being dangled from the beams for a whole night.

“I'm here for you,” Steven said seriously as he broughtaway.

I followed him; blurting out, “Your legs are so long.” Had he taken steroids over the years? Based on my hazy memories, he'd only been around six feet tall when | gifted him sclothes. He was at least an inch taller now.

22 He turned to givea silly grin. Then, he winked and said, “My legs aren't the only things that are long.” It tooka while to realize what he was saying. His gaze was as innocent as ever, but his words were far from that.

As soon as we entered the Lincoln residence, my “mother”, Nadia, pounced on me. Steven stood before me, keepingsafe behind him. He looked at Nadia icily.

She didn’t manage to stop in time, but Steven pulledalong with him as he dodged her. She fell on her face.

He said seriously, “You don’t have to get on your knees before us so early in the morning.” Nadia looked murderous. She pointed atand screeched, “You're a fucking psycho, Stephany! You must've caught it from someone else! How dare you hang Ann from the beams for a whole night? I'll kill you!" She wanted to hit me, but Steven caught her wrist and shoved her away. There wasn’t any hint of his usual silliness as he stood there. In fact, he looked downright handsome. “Who allowed you to touch my woman?” Nadia was stunned. She subconsciously turned to look at Charles, who was still trying to test whether Steven was a dimwit. “Stephany is our daughter, Steven. This is a family matter.” “Your daughter? Didn't you sell her toafter asking my grandfather for that 200-million- dollar investment ?” Steven heldprotectively. “Since you sold her to me, she doesn’t have anything to do with you anymore. | dare you to lay a hand on what's mine.” Charles frowned. He wondered how an idiot could be so oppressive. Was Steven putting on an act, or were these his true colors? | was equally surprised as | gaped at Steven. Which side of him was the real him? “Stephie, you've crossed the line this time. You can’t blyour mother for getting so mad. How could you hang Ann from the beams like that? That was so dangerous.” Charles lowered his voice, not daring to do anything rashly because he couldn't read Steven.

“What are you gonna do about it?” | leaned against Steven. “Call the cops if you want.” “Why, you!” Charles and Nadia pointed atwith trembling fingers.

“Get the hell out here, Stephany! I'm gonna kill you!” There was a ruckus outside the door .It was Ann and Kelvin.

Ann's face wa bruised and battered. She had sgauze on it. She looked like she was

beside herself with hysteria as she stood there with seyeral people .She was obviously here to get revenge on me.

could laugh at how dumb she was. This was the Lincoln residence, and | was pregnant

with the Lincoln family’s heir. Did she and Kelvin think the Lincoln family was beneath them? Or did they have a death wish? Steven's eyes darkened. He glanced at Ewan, who nodded and stepped away.
