Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 103: "Would you like to join me for dinner tonight, Nyla?" "Is there a particular reason you're asking?" Nyla was cautious about meeting Johnny too often, concerned that Brevard might become suspicious. She wasn't yet ready to expose her strategy. "Just looking to share a meal, that's all," Johnny replied, a hint of uncertainty in his tone. "You must be aware that your family isn't exactly fond of me. We should avoid meeting," Nyla suggested. Upon hearing this, Johnny quickly added, "Callie might seem tough, but she's harmless.

I've talked to her about it." "I'd prefer not to," Nyla replied firmly, leading to Johnny giving up and ending the call. "What did she say?" In a large study, Brevard sat sternly in his chair, exuding energy despite being past fifty, his eyes sharp with scheming. Standing opposite him was Johnny, whose manner was much less imposing. "She declined. Could she be onto us? Dad, remember it was our fault with Lorenzo. Nyla is his daughter; perhaps we should leave her be," Johnny suggested. Brevard's expression revealed a father's deep disappointment.

"The Green family created their own problems, and yet Nyla continues to focus on us. If we back off, is she likely to reciprocate?" Johnny expressed his concerns, saying, "Aren't we innocent? You told me Hayes entered prison willingly. Why then do you fear Nyla's investigation and insist I keep tabs on her?" The day Johnny returned home, Brevard called him to the study, revealing only that Hayes had voluntarily taken responsibility to protect him. Johnny only recently... Johnny discovered that the prison Hayes was in had some connection with the Higgins family.

It appeared Brevard was concealing something, and Johnny was unclear about the historical details. Brevard said, "I never thought the Green family would have a member so stubborn and relentless. Just watch Nyla, don't worry about anything else." Suddenly, the study door burst open. Callie strode in, gripping a coffee cup, her expression stormy. "Which Green family? Which Nyla?

What secrets are you keeping that I'm unaware of?" Brevard's frown deepened, displeased by her intrusion. He signaled Johnny to exit. Forced to retreat without further questions, Johnny tried to distract, saying, "You misunderstood. Hand me the coffee. Why are you the one bringing coffee?" Callie's demeanor was cold and calculated. "I'm not a child. Don't play games with me." She set down the coffee and fixed Brevard with a piercing look, her eyes echoing the formidable aura Brevard once had in his youth.

Brevard had not anticipated that his daughter, seemingly naive, would turn out to be ruthlessly astute. . . .
