Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 597 - 597 The thing called fate 5

Chapter 597: The thing called fate 5 Chapter 597: The thing called fate 5 At this moment, Victoria Garcia pressed her lips together and showed no intention of speaking.

Edward Hernandez took a spoonful of braised meat with rice: the taste of this restaurant was indeed authentic. He’d discovered it by chance while passing by.

“Miss Garcia’s mood seems to have worsened because of what I said.” Edward couldn’t help but try to console her, “I wonder if I could have the honor of taking Miss Garcia for a walk to clear her mind and ease her poor mood.”

Victoria looked up, meeting Edward’s handsome but inscrutable smile, replying, “There’s no need. It’s not the first time I’ve encountered such a thing; I just feel bad for Arnold Johnson.”

“You feel bad for him, but who’s going to feel bad for you?” Edward’s smile faded, replaced by a somber tone, “You are the one who has suffered the most from this situation.”

“It’s Arnold who has been hurt the most, being forced to take these steps.” After all, that woman called Chloe Johnson had once saved Arnold’s life, and Grand Lady Johnson was Arnold’s mother.

Now…

Chloe threatened with her life, as, presumably, did Grand Lady Johnson.

Would Arnold fail her?

Victoria couldn’t help but waver. After all, this matter was genuinely difficult to handle properly.

Even if Arnold ends up being with her forcefully, no one knows what they’ll face in the future. Victoria feared that Chloe’s feelings for him over the years would win him over.

“Mr. Johnson is indeed in a difficult position, caught between his mother, ex-partner, and you.” Edward couldn’t help but sympathize. However, on the grounds of sympathy, he was unexpectedly pleased since, after all, this was advantageous to him.

No one knows just how far Victoria and Arnold would go.

Love, sometimes, isn’t an easy choice in the face of interests and morality.

What will Arnold choose this time?

“However, Arnold and his mother, Grand Lady Johnson, have never had a good relationship. So, perhaps this threat will be ineffective against him. After all, it’s not the first or second time she has threatened him.” Edward added nonchalantly.

Victoria looked up again and was refreshingly curious about his knowledge, “You seem to know the Johnson Family quite well. Just what kind of relationship do you have with them?”

“Arnold and his mother’s relationship isn’t a secret. Anyone in the circle who makes a little inquiry should know about it.”

“Really?” She could sense it, but Arnold had never told her what had happened that caused their relationship to deteriorate so uncomfortably.

Was it really meddling in his and Chloe’s affairs?

However, years ago, she had threatened Arnold with the life of his best friend to force him to marry Chloe. No one could easily forgive such a thing.

“It seems I know a little bit more than you, but I don’t know the details either.” Edward smiled again, his slender phoenix eyes emanating an exceptional worldly charm.

“Mr. Hernandez, have you eaten enough?” Victoria clearly wanted to change the subject.

There was no need for her to delve into this matter with an outsider. She believed that Arnold would give her a more authentic answer.

“I’m fine, but it seems Miss Garcia’s appetite hasn’t improved.” Edward said apologetically, “It seems I didn’t choose the right restaurant. Next time, I promise to pick one that suits Miss Garcia’s taste better.”

Appetite can sometimes be situational and depend on the company one keeps.
