Chapter 927
"If you won't speak, prepare yourself for a visit to the hospital." Ariel was skilled in kickboxing, making it well within
her abilities to break someone's bones.
Upon saying that, she tightened her grip once more.
Tearing up with pain, the woman yelped, "Ow, ow, ow! You're hurting me! I'm Clara Hissinger, Mr. Abbott's niece
and your cousin! Let go of me now!"
"Cousin?"
After hearing Camren's name, Ariel pondered for a moment before letting her go.
Clara soothed her aching wrist, her seductive features twisting into a furious expression as she said in a hurt and
indignant tone, "I only came over because I heard that my cousin was here and wanted to let her know that Mr.
Abbott's family doesn't need to pay for their meals in Wegas, but this is how you repay my kindness!"
Ariel's eyes narrowed, a glint flashing past her eyes as she pondered the plausibility of Clara's words. While she was
distracted, Clara seized the opportunity and collapsed on top of Danny, sneakily shoving a name card into his suit
pocket.
"Damn, stay away from me, you jinx!"
Danny wanted nothing else but to stay away from her. He immediately pushed her away before stumbling to his
feet and taking refuge behind Ariel.
"Hehe, you're adorable." Clara laughed uncaringly, sending him a coy and charming gaze as she said, "We'll have
plenty of time to spend together in the future. I have an appointment later, so I'll be taking my leave. Bye, Ariel.
Bye, Danny."
After giving Danny a flirtatious look, she turned around and sashayed away, her winsome appearance lingering in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir minds long after she had departed.
As soon as the sound of her heels faded away, Danny began to shiver in an attempt to shake his goosebumps off,
saying disdainfully as he walked away, "Who exactly is that woman?"
It was the first time he had seen someone clinging onto their brother-in-law as she had. The others exchanged
glances at his question, just as unfamiliar to this strange yet unruly woman as him.
"Miss Hissinger really is Mr. Abbott's niece. She grew up abroad, so her personality is a little unusual." Gale
voluntarily offered his opinion.
Though his words were implicit and did not touch on her imprudence, the rest knew what he truly meant.
Fortunately, the minor incident was disregarded soon after.
After returning to the hotel, Elise sought Alexander's opinion. "What do you think about Gale?"
"He's an opportunist who knows how to manipulate people's hearts and minds. He's very ambitious, but he's also
very good at hiding it," he replied, hitting the nail on the head.
"What if Wendy sent him?" Elise asked dubiously.
"We should wait and see for now."
After all, he was from BJ Biotech, which made him useful, and Alexander didn't want to let this trump card go to
waste.
He walked over with two glasses of red wine and handed one of them to Elise before taking a seat next to her.
"We're on someone else's property, and it won't be easy to defeat them. That's why we have to take the time to
deploy the right people or we'll get into trouble if we're too hasty."
Although they arranged to visit Wegas long ago, their plans had been brought forward, resulting in the deployment
of most of Smith Co.'s men being cut short. To avoid unnecessary complications, Alexander wanted to make sure
that every step of the way went as smoothly as possible.
Just as he finished speaking, Alexia immediately barged in while yelling, "Emergency! I have an emergency!"
As she ran, she dove into Elise's embrace, whining with a serious expression, "Mommy, where's my sister? I'm going
to grow up before I get a new sister!"
"I agree." All of a sudden, Irvin appeared by the entrance with his hands in his pockets, his uncaring expression
making him seem both callous and cheeky.
Hearing that, Alexander pursed his lips slyly before he turned around to gaze at Elise affectionately. "Mrs. Griffith,
stop resisting and live up to the people's expectations."
When she saw him feigning innocence, Elise was instantly filled with denial and scooted away from him forcibly.
"Kids, consent is important in our family. It's my belly, so it's my rules. If I don't want a child, I won't have one,
okay?"
"I refuse!" Alexia protested heatedly.
"Refusing is useless!" Elise refuted in a heartless voice.
"Hmph!"
The mother-daughter duo simultaneously crossed their arms before their chests as though they were two furious
dolls. The sight greatly delighted Alexander and Irvin as they both wore matching smiles.
Suddenly, Alexander called out to her. "Honey."
"What? Mmph—"
The moment Elise turned around, Alexander instantly leaned forward and pressed a kiss on her lips. Caught off
guard, she attempted to push him away, but the slippery couch caused her to sink further into his embrace instead.
Elise's face turned red, and she began hitting him with her small fists.

"Oh, that's great! I'm going to have a sister!"
Alexia recalled that Irvin had explained in the past this was a game that adults used to express their affection.
Hence, she assumed that the more they expressed their affection, the sooner she would have a sister, and began
to clap wildly next to them, leading to an awkward sight—Alexander 'bullying' Elise while her daughter cheered
them on. Fortunately, Irvin tactfully swept in and carried his sister out without forgetting to close the door before he
left.
After hearing the door close, Alexander became even bolder, easily loosening Elise's guard using his familiarity with
Elise's body. Elise wasn't a match for him and was only able to leave herself to his devices. However, she refused to
take things sitting down, and she tormented him wildly as soon as she was on top, her anger only dissipating after
seeing him begging for more. With their children's support, their long battle finally ended in the night, and they fell
into a deep slumber.
…
Meanwhile, in the Cuber Residence, Jamie led Princess for a walk on the lawn, circling the manor until they
approached the villa, where he deliberately slowed down and played with Princess where he stood. Soon, his efforts
were not wasted. Gale's car emerged by the manor not long after the sky darkened, showing that Narissa just had
another perfect date.
Jamie lowered his head and swung the leash in his hands, his eyes despondent. As he looked into Princess' eyes
which were still somewhat melancholic, he scoffed coldly and couldn't help but laugh at himself mockingly. What he
lost to wasn't Gale's power, nor was it Narissa's impatience, but it was his indecisiveness. In the end, he had gotten
what he deserved.
A long moment later, he returned to his senses and tugged on the leash irritably. "Time to go back, Princess."
The tamed dog now depended on him even more and immediately did as she was told, wagging her tail and
running back. After returning to Princess' room, he fed her some food and took a seat, leaning against her bed as
he muttered to himself.
"Look, I've treated you, so you have to help her from now on, all right?"
