Chapter 1009

Camren suddenly appeared right in front of Owen and successfully caught Ariel. "You will give mean answer today, Arie! I tried calling and sending you messages, but you wouldn't respond or reply.Why?!" Camren acted as if she was a child who had been bullied.

Then, Ariel responded with an indifferent attitude. "Nothing much. I didn't feel like replying, andthat's all. After all, I didn't want any trouble from getting too close to you."

"What are you talking about? Do you have any idea how much we went through before wereunited? What do you mean by that when you said you didn't want any trouble from me?" As soonas Camren finished his words, Rylantha and Maverick suddenly appeared.

When Ariel looked in their direction, she saw Rylantha intimately seizing Maverick's arm. So, shegrunted coldly. Hmph! So, you really did turn your attention to Rylantha after you failed to win myheart. I didn't expect you to take my words so seriously, Maverick.

Meanwhile, Danny was chatting with some guests until he saw Maverick talking to his wife. The nextsecond, he approached them and wrapped one arm around Ariel's shoulders. "You're a tough man,Mr. Taylor. I'm impressed that the chilly night you spent sleeping by the street barely fazed you."Deep down, Danny regretted his lenience, thinking he should have thrown Maverick into a freezeror something.

"As a man, I'm expected to be physically fit. You know what? We should spar together somedaywhen we're free." Maverick talked as if nothing had ever happened before.

When Danny heard that, he couldn't help but criticize Maverick's shamelessness on the inside.Hmph! Rylantha and Maverick really deserve each other! What a perfect match they are!

"Arie! Arie!"

Then, Ariel reacted by seizing Danny's hand before she walked away with him, growing tired ofdealing with the couple.

"Alas!" Camren sighed and glared at Rylantha, losing his temper. "Tell me what you did this time!"Although Camren hardly ever spent much time with Ariel, he knew her well enough to believe shewas a lady with decent manners. Therefore, he was sure her outburst was probably because she waspissed off by someone who did something unacceptable. If I didn't do anything, it must be Rylanthawho did it.

"I didn’t do anything. I only gave her fiancé a test by getting a woman to approach him. Look athow close they are now. She should have thanked me for what I'd done for her, but instead, shewalked away without saying hello. How rude!" Rylantha didn't think she was wrong at all. Isn't this ahappy ending? Ariel lives happily with Danny, as do I with Maverick.

"How dare you!" Camren was speechless upon hearing Rylantha's words. The next second, heslapped her and said, "Nonsense!" He stomped off madly after that.

"He just slapped me in the face for that b*stard!" Rylantha covered her cheek in disbelief.

"Are you alright?" Maverick gently rubbed her cheek. "Easy, girl. I'll always be by your side and haveyour back. Ariel will never get a cent of the Abbott Family's fortune.”

Then, she rested in his arms, feeling fortunate to still have someone who understood her. "You'rethe only person who feels how I feel in this world.”

"Of course!" He seized the lady's hand, his face darkening sinisterly. I will have my revenge! Whileno one had ever humiliated him until he met Danny and Ariel, Maverick was determined to makethem pay for what they did to him.

On the other hand, Alexander and Elise arrived at Griffith Manor's gate when they saw Zephyrwaiting there with some metal detectors. After a thorough scan, they found an eavesdroppingdevice in Elise's purse.

"Shh!" Zephyr made a gesture that meant silence as he carefully extracted the gadget and placed itnear a special signal jammer. "Owen is such a slippery b*stard. Thank God, I grabbed the signaljammer and brought it along when I returned for the tracker devices. Otherwise, all our efforts willgo to waste," Zephyr said and sighed.

"Owen doesn't seem to trust me either, but fortunately, I managed to leave the tracking device inhis car. Since he is not a smoker, I doubt he'll discover the tracking device soon," Elise answered."The show must go on until he falls for it." Alexander nodded.

"What's the story about this guy, Owen? Why must you work with the big boss of Smith Co. to takeon him?" Zephyr asked curiously.

"He is a part of the top management running an anti-social organization. They tried to kill somefamous scientists and execute their genocidal plan. So, they could welcome some aliens to inhabitour planet.” Alexander calmly explained what he knew.

"Sounds like some kind of organization that a bunch of terrorists is running.” Zephyr stroked hischin while trying to figure out what Owen was doing. "Well, Smith Co. is doing nothing differentfrom the charity by opposing these people, considering how diversified its business is. However, Imust say that you guys are smart enough to foresee so much.”

"You overthink, bro. I'm not as noble as you think I am,” Alexander said. "All I ever want is to keepmy family safe, but since they insist on messing around with me, I have no choice but to teach thema lesson."

"That's the power of love,” Zephyr complimented Alexander playfully.

"What are you doing here, Zephyr? Shouldn't you spend your time figuring out how I can beat Mr.Raymond? It's been a few days, and I haven't heard from you." Irvin suddenly showed up.

"Well, haste makes waste. You need to take it easy sometimes." Zephyr avoided the boy's gaze as ifthe child got the goods on him.

Nevertheless, Irvin didn't seem to be happy about it. "I don't care. You have ten days to do what youhave to. If you fail to deliver your promise, you're not as capable as you claim to be. For that, I won'tbe your mentee.”

"Ten days? Come on, you know that's not possible. Cut me some slack, would you?" Zephyr tried tobargain with Irvin.

"Ten days is all you're going to get, not a single day more." Irvin appeared to be adamant.

"Alas!" Zephyr was discouraged as he walked toward the door. "Fine, I guess I have to get back towork then."

In the meantime, Irvin had an emotionless look on his face. After all, he could still rememberAlexander's words about how a person's potential could be discovered. Moreover, he wanted to seehow good of a doctor Zephyr could be.

"Why are you so eager to compete with Mr. Raymond?" Elise asked.

"Well, I will be a man when I grow up. So, I want to be as fit as possible to protect my family," Irvinreplied.

"Still, you're only an 8-year-old kid. You should be enjoying your childhood now. Your daddy and Iare capable of protecting ourselves. Furthermore, you shouldn't worry about all this at your age.”She voiced her concern

"What about Alexia? She will need someone to protect her sooner or later, right? If I don't trainmyself to get fit now, it will be too late when I grow up.” He was set in his own ways. "Mommy, I'mhappy to be in a family with you all. Don't worry, it's not tiring for me, nor do I replace it tough. So,please rest assured because I can handle it."

"However—"

"No “however, Mommy. I have to go now. I'll see you in an hour. Bye! Love you, Mommy." BeforeElise could react, Irvin quickly kissed his mother's cheek and ran off.

She then touched the part where the child kissed her and stared blankly at the door. "This child isway more mature than he should be."

Suddenly, Alexander wrapped his arms around Elise and comforted her. "That's a good thing. Youshould be happy about it."

"Still, I hope he can enjoy his childhood like any other normal child. He shouldn't have to bear somuch at his age." Elise was sympathetic to her child

"Great power comes with great responsibilities, plus he could be having fun with it,” Alexander said."I hope so." She raised her eyebrows anxiously.

Alexander took Elise's purse from the signal jammer and said, "Let's return to our room. There issomething else we need to attend to."
