Was he hinting that she should tease him tonight?
Arabella responded quickly. [If I say I made a mistake, would you believe me?]
Kenneth frowned. [Then who do you want to send it to?]
Arabella suddenly felt like she was caught in the act. Hence, she could only take a screenshot of her
chat with Aurora and send it to him. [See for yourself.]
Kenneth saw those pajamas, and he raised his sharp eyebrows. His narrow eyes overflowed with the
air of a mature man.
He texted her back. [I see, you can buy them all and try them on for me, then I'll tell you which one I
like.]
Arabella sat up from the bed, and she read his reply three times before replying to him with trembling
fingers. [You hoodlum!]
Kenneth raised his eyebrows when he saw the word 'hoodlum'. After that, a peal of deep and pleasant
laughter overflowed from his throat.
She was smart and calm, so she was rarely angry. This time, he knew he had made her nervous.
Kenneth texted her back slowly. [You're scolding me? I'll deal with you when I get back!]
...
Arabella lay back on the bed again. She was like a cooked prawn now. She could not look at his last
text that said, 'I'll deal with you when I get back!'
Closing her eyes forcefully, Arabella shook off Kenneth's hateful yet handsome face in her mind. Then,
she began to think about some serious business.
It was obvious that Melvin returned this time to be at odds with her. He was now one of the four giants
in Hardgrad. He had power and status, so dealing with him would be very difficult.
This situation was very unfavorable to her.
Plus, it was a little weird. Why did Melvin say she was dirty, and that she was used by others?
Arabella chatted with Aurora about this topic. [Aurora: Melvin is just bluffing, my Bella is still a virgin.]
[Arabella: But why did he say that?]
[Aurora: Go ask him.]
Arabella figured this made sense. It was useless to her to guess, so she needed to find a chance to ask
him in person.
[Aurora: Bella, seriously, Melvin is not that difficult to deal with. He likes you. When it comes to men, if
you're willing, you can do anything.]
Arabella did not reply. Of course, she understood what Aurora meant. There were actually many ways
to turn passive into active when dealing with men who liked her. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

At night, Melvin took Leia to the hotel's presidential suite.
Melvin had just taken a shower and was wearing a white bathrobe. He poured a little red wine into the
wine glass and took a sip elegantly.
At this time, Leia, who had finished bathing, hugged him from behind. "Melvin, do you think my dad
loves Arabella's mummy very much, so that's why he has never forgotten about her for so many
years?"
Melvin looked at the neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window and curled his thin lips. "Why do
you say that?"
"I know that my dad always kept a photo of Arabella's mummy in his wallet. That photo is so precious
that he never let anyone touch it, and for so many years, my dad has not allowed anyone to speak ill of
Arabella's mum. My mom said that my dad is like a different person today. He values prestige so much
that he will never humiliate himself publicly, but he slapped my mom outside the hotel."
A beautiful face appeared in Melvin's mind, and he said lightly, "Arabella's mummy is a legendary
woman."
Leia had never seen Arabella's mommy. Arabella's mommy passed away ten years ago. This woman
seemed to have evaporated from the world, and it was difficult to hear any information about her when
she was still alive.
Leia also thought about how authoritative and powerful someone needed to be to erase all of
someone's information in Hardgrad.
Whenever she thought of this, Leia felt scared.
"Melvin, my mother was right, Arabella is great at seducing men. She got married into Floweret Garden
to save that guy's life by giving him a wedding to counteract his bad luck, and she's providing for a
pretty boy out there. Now, she is connected with Emgrand Hotel. I wonder how many men she's had!"
