Chapter 226 - Brother??? Bestfriend???

Inside Lily's apartment. The four of them sit in the living room. Jacob looked at Lance and Lily as if he was about to kill them.

Lance, however, felt wrong.

Poor Lance, he was dragged to hell without him knowing. J thought.

"Sis... B-brother..." Lily stammered.

What? Sis? Brother? Lance was flabbergasted. He looked at Lily, then to Jacob then to J with a look saying 'What the heck is happening?'

J didn't say a word. She just looked at Lance and shrugged her shoulders.

"I... I'm sorry. Nothing is going on between us. I was drunk." After saying that, Lily felt like she was shrinking in her seat. She is too afraid to look at her brother. She wishes to just vanish into thin air than to be with the same room with his brother right now.

Jacob gave her an icy stare.

"Ah... you mean... he is your brother?" Lance confused looked at Lily then to Jacob. He saw J nod her head at him for confirmation.

"Oh." Lance was really surprised. "I... ah... she gets drunk at Rendezvous. Everyone has already left. Her friends were drunk as well so they asked me to drive her home." Lance started to explain everything.

"I even called her manager to pick her up but she said that she is out of town so she gave me her address. I can't just leave her there so I took the initiative to drive her here."

After explaining there was a moment of silence. The temperature in the room became colder. J tried to broke the silence.

"Since when did you two know each other?"

"Oh... just a couple of days ago. Remember the film that I told you I was going to invest in. She is the female lead." Lance was the one who answered.

"Oh..." was J's only reply.

"You." Jacob shot a fiery glare at Lily which made Lily gulp her saliva.

"Take your sister away from here. I want a word from him." Jacob said while looking at Lance.

Lance looked at J pleading for help.

J was hesitant to leave but she was dragged by Lily who's in a hurry to get away from her brother.

Inside Lily's bedroom, Lily let out an exasperated sigh while clasping her chest. Back in the living room, she was holding her breath afraid that it might catch her brother's attention and irritate him.

"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Lily asked J.

"I've been trying to call you to ask you if you are free tomorrow. You said you have something to talk to me. But you are not answering your phone... my gut feeling tells me something is going on." J said nonchalantly.

"I didn't expect to see you with my best friend. What happened?" J continued.

"Best friend? You mean... Mr. Kho is your best friend?" Lily was dumbstruck. What a small world.

J nodded her head.

"Does my brother know him?" Lily asked with a worried tone.

J again nodded her head.

"Oh no..." Lily became uneasy. With her brother's temper... Lance... No, she can't let her brother hurt him. He is innocent. At that thought, Lily stood up.

J was observing Lily, she noticed that she looked uneasy.

"Lily..." J stopped Lily from going out of the room. "Let your brother talk to him. As I've said, Jacob knew Lance."

J was right. When Jacob met Lance, he already made a background check of him to make sure that he holds no interest with J. Lance is not the type of person that would play around with girls. And he would never take advantage of them. Even if girls offer themselves to him, he would never touch them. That's how respectful Lance is towards girls. And Jacob knew it.
