"Mom, Johnson doesn't know about this."
As soon as Edward said this, both Evelyn and Helen were noticeably surprised.
From the start, including Elly, everyone thought that when Edward secretly helped Johnson erase those traces, it must have been at Johnson's request. Who would've thought Johnson didn't even know?
The mother and daughter maintained the same expression looking at Edward, and after some time, Helen said:
"Big brother, doing good deeds quietly like this won't win over the girl you fancy."
Evelyn nodded in agreement beside her.
"I don't need her to know."
Edward blurted out, then paused and corrected himself, "No, Johnson and I aren't in the kind of relationship you think."
After speaking, he couldn't help but furrow his brow, feeling like the more he explained, the more suspicious it seemed.
Evelyn and Helen still kept their consistent gaze on him, not saying a word.
The look in their eyes was somewhat hard to describe.
