Bonnie raised her eyebrows.

'Ivor is looking for Finley? Is that the source of his recent distress?'

Ivor's eyebrows furrowed tightly. "Who told you?"

Rowena responded gently, "Nobody told me. I found out myself. My parents sometimes discuss the competition between the Knight Group and the Gemedia Group for the Ferryrover Jewelry sponsorship. So, I inquired a bit. It wasn't hard to find out."

"Who gave you permission to inquire about my affairs?!" Ivor's tone turned icy, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

"Ivor, l-I'm just concerned about you." Rowena didn't expect Ivor to be so cold toward her. She looked genuinely distressed as she took a few steps closer to Ivor.

"I came to tell you that my mom has connections in the design industry. If you need anything, I—I can ask her to find out about Finley's whereabouts for you."

"It's unnecessary. You may leave." Ivor's tone remained indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

Rowena's eyes revealed a visible unwillingness.

"Ivor, I know it was wrong of me to inquire about your matters without permission, and it made you angry, b-but I did it because I wanted to help you. Can't I care about you?"

"I said it's unnecessary. Don't be presumptuous." Ivor's tone remained emotionless.

"Ivor..." Rowena looked deeply aggrieved. Tears hung on her lashes, ready to fall, making her appear pitiful.

Yet, this failed to elicit any sympathy or pity from Ivor. Instead, his expression grew colder. "Leave," he commanded.

Halle stepped forward once again. She attempted to speak up for Rowena. "Ivor-"

Ivor interrupted her with a cold voice. "I said leave. Do you not understand?"

Halle hesitated for a moment, but Rowena gently tugged at her sleeve. "Halle, forget it. Since Ivor doesn't welcome us, let's leave."

She glanced at Ivor, trying to discern any hint of pity or sympathy from his expression, but he didn't even spare her a glance.

Rowena's gaze dimmed, but her heart was filled more with resentment towards Bonnie.

'It is all that despicable Bonnie's fault. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have turned out like this between Ivor and me. It is all her fault! When I get the chance, I'll make that despicable woman pay!' Only Bonnie and Ivor remained in the living room.

Bonnie crossed her arms. After giving Ivor a severe glance, Bonnie remained silent and headed upstairs.

Knowing that Bonnie was angry, Ivor quickly stood up and grabbed her wrist tightly. "Honey, where are you going?"

Bonnie pretended to be annoyed as she shook his hand. "You dare lie to me repeatedly, and you still have the nerve to ask me where I'm going? What does it have to do with you?"
