Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 226 - 226 Brother-in-law 3

Chapter 226: Brother-in-law 3 Chapter 226: Brother-in-law 3 Arnold Johnson had told her that he didn’t have a wife, but the female lead in front of her naturally and smoothly addressed him as “Brother-in-law”.

What mattered most was that when she called Arnold Johnson “brother-in-law”, he did not immediately stop her or express an objection, but rather tacitly accepted it.

No matter what kind of tacit acceptance this was, it at least hinted at the idea that Kaelin Johnson calling him brother-in-law was reasonable and logical, or at least it once was.

Could it be that Arnold Johnson was divorced?

However, if they were divorced, why would Kaelin Johnson still live in the Johnson Mansion? And in what capacity were those two lovers living in the Johnson Mansion?

All the questions she had once been unwilling to think about lingered in her mind.

Seeing Victoria fall silent, Kaelin continued, “In fact, there have been many women like you, generally embracing the attitude of making a fortune and leaving, then finding another man to continue with, getting married and having children.”

“For such women, I have always held a friendly attitude. After all, society is so fickle that everyone should take what they need. However, I must admonish you: since you are only here to make a profit and leave, adhere to your proper role and do not cross boundaries. Otherwise, even without my sister’s intervention, I will be the first to not let you off the hook.”

At this moment, there was no more smile on Kaelin’s face, her cold eyes were daunting.

Every word and every sentence Kaelin said was filled with contempt for her.

But what was her own identity? Even Victoria herself did not understand; what could she even rebut?

Should she tell Kaelin that the condition for Arnold’s deal was to marry her?

Then listen to Kaelin tell her how ridiculous the idea is, believing a child’s trick? If he wanted to marry, he would have done it a long time ago, not wait until now.

Should she tell Kaelin that she didn’t want to get married? Then listen to her say that this is a man’s desire to catch and release trick, and when she finally agrees, she’ll be brought to the Johnson mansion to be a qualified “concubine”?

Victoria could imagine Kaelin’s probable responses to these rebuttals, so she didn’t want to humiliate herself; she’d rather say nothing at all.

She shook the water off her hands, turned around, and faced Kaelin, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Kaelin carefully studied Victoria’s face; from any angle, Victoria was a beautiful woman with her unique charm.

Though the two women in the Johnson Mansion were also beautiful, compared to her, they were far behind in grace.

Her sister had met a worthy opponent.

Arnold had hidden her away without bringing her back to the Johnson Mansion for so long, indicating that he didn’t see her as a common woman. For her sister, such a woman was too dangerous.

This dangerous presence was like a time bomb, a danger her sister shouldn’t have to bear.

As Kaelin pondered and scrutinized, she finally averted her gaze, stepped aside, and said softly, “Take care of yourself.”

Victoria did not reply or look back, she simply slipped out the door of the restroom.

Watching Victoria’s slender figure, Kaelin’s eyes flashed with a hint of unusualness.

By the time Victoria returned to the table, Arnold had already ordered their food and drinks.

Seeing Victoria return to the table, Arnold’s heart steadied a bit. He understood that she had gone to the restroom to calm her emotions. He tried giving her some time to process her feelings, but seeing Victoria sitting across from him, it appeared that her attempt to soothe herself had failed.
