Chapter 930 How Many Girlfriends Do You Have?

If there were one thing Clara despised the most, that would be being lectured. She had heardsimilar arguments no less than a thousand times since she was a child, and she thought those whoreprimanded her were hypocrites. After all, she was only minding her own business and had notcaused trouble for them. So, what gave them the right to meddle in her business?

"What now?” Danny puffed his chest out in the face of her undisguised annoyance. Still, he feltinexplicably guilty when he was met with her fierce eyes. He even imagined that she would forceherself onto him if he continued pressing her buttons.

In the end, she merely rolled her eyes, turned, and flounced off without another word. Naturally,Noah wanted to chase after her, but Alexander blocked his way.

“Shouldn't you explain why you are here?” Alexander questioned coldly.

Noah answered without hesitation, “I will spare no expense in bringing a murderer to justice. I willfight you to the end since you two worked together to scheme against us!”

“Do you think you would still be alive if we really wanted to end you?” Alexander's voice soundedcalm and neutral, but the threat was explicit.

“Come on, then. I'm not afraid of you. We should definitely compete over who lives a longer life.”Noah did not care if he was up against Alexander. He was fearless.

However, Danny, who had been feeling guilty because of Raffle’s death, stepped forward, pulledAlexander away, and took the initiative to mediate the situation. “Look, let me say this one last time.We have nothing to do with your father's death. We aren't saints. Stop testing our patience. If youcontinue pulling the same trick, you won't be so lucky next time.”

“I only believe that good deeds come back to help you, and bad deeds come back to haunt you.God will never let any wicked person go!” Noah satirized

“God bless your stupidity.” Finally, Alexander had had enough of Noah's nonsense, so he shovedDanny aside and made himself comfortable on the couch.

“Just you wait!” Noah threw them a vicious look and stormed off.

Danny let out a helpless sigh as he closed the door.

“This person keeps sticking his nose in all the wrong places. We should've just given him a map toreplace Wendy to save ourselves from this headache,” Alexander groused. He hated uncertaintiesbecause they tended to impact his plans in ways that he could not imagine. Moreover, it. It hadbeen a difficult journey for him to reunite with Elise. So, he preferred stability; the less uncertainty,the safer his family was.

“Well, I highly doubt he will come out alive if he replaces Wendy now. He neither has the brains nor theskills to navigate through those muddled waters. So, let's just consider this as an act of charity. Hewill let this matter go once he’s finally got it out of his system.” Danny did not want to have bloodon his hands.

"On your head be it, then,” Alexander grumbled expressionlessly.

“Fine.” Danny did not say anything further, as it was reasonable for him to clean up his own mess.“Wait, where are you going?” Alexander asked when he saw Danny walking toward the door. Dannyrolled his eyes when he heard that idiotic question. “Of course, I'm going to book a new room. Doyou want to sleep on that bed?”

Alexander was at a loss for words. He had somewhat forgotten what had happened earlier. Thesecond he returned to his senses, he fled from the room like a bat out of hell without bothering towait for Danny. After all, this hotel was very popular, and he wanted to be the one sleeping on acomfortable bed if only one room was left.

On the other hand, as soon as Noah saw Clara near the hotel entrance, he quickened his pace toblock Clara's way. “Wait a minute!”

She got impatient with him. “What do you want? Are you thinking of making me responsible forwhat I did to you?”

“No, not at all.” Noah looked immature and naive compared to her calm demeanor. “Instead, I wantto be your boyfriend and take responsibility for my actions.”

She instantly became amused and asked, “How many girlfriends do you have?”

“None at all.” He shook his head.

“Go figure.” She didn't bother to hide the contempt in her voice as she continued, “Well, you did aconsiderably great job back then as a virgin. But unfortunately, I'm not interested in innocent boyslike you. I only like married men. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?”

"Are you kidding me?” He could not believe his ears and was momentarily stunned by her brazenstatement. Finally, she rolled her eyes at him, pushed him away, and left.

Poor Noah could only stare at her graceful back and wonder what went wrong. His heart felt as if itwas sinking into the bottomless lake. They were so compatible earlier. How could she turn againsthim in a snap of a finger?

Meanwhile, the car, which Ariel was in, finally arrived at the Abbott Manor, but it did not drive toCamren’s villa. Instead, it took several additional turns and stopped at another estate a few hundredmeters away.

Regardless, Ariel did not panic at the sudden turn of events. She figured she should make the bestof it since she was already there. She got out of the car, spruced herself up, and then walked to thevilla with a confident stride.

The interior decoration of the villa was low-key yet luxurious. The more-than-ten-meters high domemade the place look like a church. The villas owner was definitely more tasteful than Camren, as thedecoration was also in line with the younger generations’ preferences.

Ariel was looking around for a servant to see if she could get any information when suddenly afamiliar voice came from upstairs.

"We meet again.”

Ariel glanced up and saw a face quite similar to hers, except that the other person had sharperbrows and eye features, making her look mean and unkind. Suffice it to say, Camren’s genes weretruly dominant. Unfortunately, Ariel didn’t really know anything about his second daughter and onlyknew she went by the name Rylantha.

"Have we met?” Although she was on unfamiliar ground, her tone was flat as she exuded her usualcalm yet strong aura.

"Of course, we met on the way to the airport. It's a pity that Camren rescued you. Otherwise, youwould have been locked in my private prison, never to see the light again.” Rylantha looked down ather condescendingly. Her tone was filled with disdain and arrogance.

Ah, I see. So, it was Camren who saved us, Ariel thought. Camren had indeed done a lot to preventher from nursing a grudge against Rylantha.

“Well, you don't need to treat me as your imaginary enemy. I have never thought of fighting you.”Ariel initiated a truce because she was the older sister, after all.

“Do you really think you're worthy of being my enemy?” Rylantha narrowed her eyes viciously. “Youwill never be part of the Abbott Family so long as I don’t admit you as my sister. My mother wouldalso never have tolerated you if she was still alive!”

Ariel shook her head upon hearing that. It was exactly what she thought. A marriage bond with aman of wealth and fame would only lead to despair. There was nothing one could do in thatsituation

“Well, Rylantha, I will still treat you as my little sister no matter what you think. So, have some self-respect. The only thing I practice is etiquette. I always believe in the phrase, “Do unto others as youwould have them do unto you’. So, I will treat people with the usual niceties as long as they playnice. But I will also not hesitate to pay them back tenfold if they try to push my buttons. So, let's getalong well. It's not good to fight between ourselves, especially since we're sisters.”

Rylantha was just about to ridicule Ariel when she heard Ariel continue speaking, “And before Iforget, you're still my junior. Do you think you could have been born in this world had my mothernot left? It's easy to lose sight of things you already have once you become too calculative.”

"What a b*tch! How dare you compare yourself to me, you low life?! I am the only daughter of theAbbott Family! You should've never been born!” Rylantha lost it and started cursing and pointing atAriel angrily as she yelled.

Ariel's facial expression darkened at the abuse, and she warned, “I don't like people yelling at me,and I refuse to tire myself out for people unworthy of my attention. People of different aspirationsor principles cannot get along together. Come to me again once you've got your head on straight!”She was never a benevolent person. There was no need to stay since the other party clearly didn'twelcome her presence.

“Stay right there, Ariel!
