Back in the villa, the two couples sat in the living room with their eyes fixed on the TV.

They were all watching the news channel.

After a few minutes, the news segment began with the headline of the day. Astrid Iverson was arrested!

In the new broadcast, there was a replay of the comical scene of Astrid being escorted away by the police. It was still amusing enough to elicit laughter.

"Huh? This handsome police officer looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere..."

Carrie's chin rested on her fingertips, and her kitten-like eyes suddenly brightened. "Oh, I remember now! He sat next to me at Mrs. Thompson's birthday banquet. The young officer even chatted with me..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ryan's eyes darkened, unable to resist seizing her chin. His dominant and fiery kiss enveloped her entire soft lips, exuding both fierceness and a hint of jealousy.

Bella and Justin were both engrossed in watching the news. But when they heard the smooching sounds, they both paused in surprise.

Immediately, Justin leaned over, shielding the provocative display of affection and lowering his head to kiss Bella deeply.

"What's wrong? Is it not suitable for minors, so you won't let me watch?"

Bella pouted coquettishly. "I've seen all kinds of scenes in my life. It's just a kiss."

"No... I'm afraid you'd feel awkward." Justin lightly pinched her nose, smiling helplessly.

"Hmph! I'm not the one feeling awkward. It's obviously someone else who is feeling awkward."

Ryan's eyes left Carrie's lips after a while. Her eyes were watery after being kissed by him, and her breathing was in disarray.

"Honey, are you trying to make me jealous by mentioning other men in front of me?"

Ryan repeatedly caresses her moist lips with his fingertips, his voice husky. "Handsome police officer? Is he more handsome than your husband?" Carrie's cheeks blushed like peaches. "Mm... Well, you're both handsome."

"Huh? Who's more handsome?" Ryan tickled her gently.

"Haha... You're more handsome! You're the most handsome!" Carrie giggled incessantly, shrinking her shoulders and clutching him tightly.

Bella crossed her arms, resting her head on Justin's broad shoulder. She glanced sideways at Ryan. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's hard to say who's more handsome." Ryan's heart was beating like a drum.

Anyone with eyes could see that Bella cares deeply for Carrie. If he had not made his move first, Bella might have played matchmaker between Carrie and her brother.

Thinking of this, Ryan tightly grasped Carrie's hand, as if someone were trying to snatch her away from him.

At this moment, the news mentioned that Lance was rushed to the hospital. The specific reason was unknown. But what else could it be if not a fit of anger?

James, the CEO of Iverson Group, stood at the hospital entrance, enduring the relentless onslaught of the media. His expression was stiff throughout the whole process, as if he had lost his father.

No matter how mentally resilient he was, he was probably feeling quite overwhelmed with all the internal and external troubles.

"Fantastic! Isn't this more entertaining than the Spring Festival Gala?" Ryan's sturdy left arm embraced Carrie's slender shoulders as he patted her thigh with joy.

Carrie leaned into his embrace, licking her strawberry-flavored popsicle. After a few licks, she offered it to his lips.

He lowered his head to where she licked and took a bite, his large hand gently rubbing her head. His eyes were filled with indulgence.

"Both Astrid and her husband are in trouble. One of them forced women into prostitution, while the other had orgy parties. They're quite in sync with each other. Truly, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Bella stared coldly at the screen, observing James's pallid face. "The Iverson family is in hot water now. It won't be long before the prosecutor summons them."
