The brims of Lindsay's eyes reddened. In the end, she bit her lower lip to endure it.

She couldn't give up halfway!

She had to please Francisco and get the money. Only then could she help Stefan get through the crisis!

Sorry!

Stefan!

But her unflinching facial expression angered Francisco even more, "Lindsay, you care about Stefan so much? Then today, I'll show him your degeneration."

Following a growl, he stepped away and headed for the bathroom.

The knock continued, "Linzi, come on, open the door! Are you in there? Linzi!"

Lindsay bit her lower lip tightly, fought back her tears, silently put on her clothes, adjusted her hair, and then walked slowly to the door. After opening it, she forced a faint smile and looked at the man outside, "Stefan..."

Stefan pushed her away, rushed into the room, and snarled, "Where's the man? Where is he?"

"Stefan, no!"

Lindsay hurriedly pulled him and explained helplessly, "No man is here. You... you misunderstood! Let's go home!"

"Linzi!"

When Francisco saw the hickey on her neck with his crimson eyes, the pain almost shut down his heart, "Tell me, where's the man?"

Just then, the bathroom door opened.

In a towel, Francisco came out and spoke in a naughty tone, "I'm here!"

Lindsay changed countenance and hurriedly grabbed Stefan's hand, "Stefan, let's go. Please, let's go home!"

But Stefan forcefully shook off her hand and walked to Francisco in a huff, "Francisco, what did you do to Linzi?"

"Humph!"

Francisco sneered, "Stefan, what a man and a woman could do in a room, eh?"

"Francisco, you're dead!" Ashamed into anger, Stefan swung his fist to punch Francisco.

Just then, Lindsay rushed to the front of Francisco.

She stubbornly lifted her head, looked him in the eyes, and spoke with distress, "Stefan, I volunteered. I'm willing to be with Francisco! It has nothing to do with him!"

Lindsay knew it well that Stefan was no match for Francisco!

Besides, Stefan was ill, so she couldn't let them fight!

His fist hovering in mid-air, Stefan looked at Lindsay's delicate face in disbelief and spat after quite a while, "Linzi, have you forgotten how this man treated you five years ago?"

"Humph!"

Francisco sneered and picked up the conversation, "Stefan, you know the story better than anyone else."

Lindsay was stunned.

What did he mean?

What had their breakup five years ago got to do with Stefan?

"Stefan!":

For fear of enraging Francisco, Lindsay tried to act natural and smiled, "I love him! I can't get over him, so I don't care about that!"

Francisco was dazed by her speech.

He flashed back to five years ago.

"Linzi, do you love me?"

"Bah, you wish!"

"Aren't you afraid of another woman stealing me?"

"If you dare to run away with another woman, I'll run away with another man!"
