Chapter 213 A Lump in the Throat
Robert spoke very softly, while Aylin was focused on savoring her coffee and dessert, not noticing anything unusual about Robert.
“Ms. Koch.”
Before Robert could finish speaking, John appeared before them solemnly, bowed politely, and said, “Ms. Koch, Sariah is here and would like to see you.”
John’s face soured, his expression filled with disgust at the mere mention of the name. This woman is malicious at heart! Surely, she’ll cause Ms. Koch more trouble!
Robert also frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, “How dare she come!”
Aylin, on the other hand, was much calmer. She elegantly put down the grapes.
“Bring her in.”
In no time, Sariah, clutching the hem of her dress, took small steps and shuffled in, looking quite uneasy. She timidly stopped and stood in front of Aylin.
“Aylin, Aylin, I’m sorry…” The voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
Robert found her pretentious behavior annoying. On the surface, she acted submissive and cautious, but behind the scenes, she was more ruthless than anyone else.
“Can’t you speak up? Do you have something foul stuck in your throat?”
Sariah suddenly choked up, her face turning a mixture of pale and green.
Ever since she was little, she had always admired how Aylin was pampered by Robert. She had tried to win Robert’s favor, but the way he looked at her was as if he was looking at garbage, which made her hate him to death.
Why does he only consider Aylin as his sister? What’s wrong with her?
Gritting her teeth, Sariah forced herself to show a face full of apology and whispered, “Aylin, I came today to take the initiative to admit my mistake.
That interview, they suddenly came up to me and started asking questions. Without thinking, I just mentioned what I saw at the banquet. I didn’t expect it to become a trending topic and cause trouble for Aylin. I… I’m truly sorry…”
Aylin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as she coolly scrutinized her.
“So what?”
Sarlah didn’t dare to look into her eyes, feeling anxious and unable to stand still.
Seeing a coffee pot and coffee cup on the table, she hurriedly poured a cup of coffee for Aylin to hide her panic. “So, Aylin, I… I really know I was wrong. Please have some coffee and don’t be angry with me. I was just thoughtless; please don’t hold it against me…”
Sariah was desperately holding onto a pitiful expression, but in her heart, she was so furious that she could almost crush her teeth!
If it weren’t for Aylin turning the situation around in an instant, would she have come to apologize?
Dream on!
It’s just that those who understand the times are considered outstanding, and to avoid being beaten up again by this vicious woman, she took the initiative to clear the relationship first.
Seeing Aylin not speaking, Sariah bravely brought the coffee cup to Aylin’s lips and respectfully said, “Aylin, please have some coffee.”
Robert had seen far too many of these double-dealing tricks, and Sariah’s clumsy tactics seemed like child’s play to him.
He didn’t bother to expose the truth again, anyway, Aylin knew it in her heart.
Sariah and Aylin were extremely close to each other. Aylin looked down at Sariah from a higher position, staring at her intensely, making Sariah feel so guilty that she could hardly hold herself together.
The woman leisurely took the coffee cup.
“Sariah…” Aylin’s red lips closed together, her smile faint, as she gently said to her, “You’d better not have done anything.”
Her smile was beautiful, and up close, her skin was radiant and fair, like smooth, creamy porcelain. However, her eyes didn’t share the warmth of her smile, giving her a slightly cold and distant aura.
The night breeze was cool, blowing into the room and chilling Sariah’s sweat-drenched back.
She took a deep breath, nearly losing her balance and almost kneeling on the ground.
In the end, Sariah remembered Serena’s promise and instructions, and forced herself to smile. She said dryly, “No, no, Aylin, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I already know I was wrong, and of course, I’m wholeheartedly on your side. What else could I do?”
Everything she did was carried out in secret, and with Serena’s support, it was impossible for even the resourceful Aylin to find out!
In Sariah’s mind, Serena from abroad is simply capable of anything.
Compared to her, Aylin is still a bit too green!
Upon seeing her pretending to be foolish and stunned, Robert felt a wave of nausea. This woman was too close to Aylin, tainting the air around her.
“Are you done talking? If you’re done, get lost!”
Sariah noticed that Aylin didn’t even glance at her, realizing that staying any longer would be pointless. Biting her lip, she said, “Aylin, I’ll be leaving first then.”
Thrown out like a wet dog, Sariah’s harmless gaze instantly turned vicious and sinister the moment she turned around.
She was filled with hatred, wishing she could immediately stab that bitch Aylin to death!
This was a perfect opportunity for her to be utterly disgraced, but who would have thought that she would be so lucky to escape it? It’s truly infuriating!
Sariah returned home and immediately took out her phone to make that long distance call.
“Aunt Serena! This plan still didn’t work, and that bitch managed to escape again!”
Sariah stomped her foot in frustration, while Serena remained calm and composed on the other end. “Didn’t I tell you? There’s no use in getting worked up. Yelling and screaming won’t help.”
Sariah clenched her teeth and said, “But, but she’s turned the tables again, and it’s happened. several times already. How much longer do we have to wait?”
Serena spoke calmly and unhurriedly, “I’ve already thought of a backup plan. I’ll tell you when the time comes. I have something else to do now, so I’ll hang up first.”
“But… hello? Hello? Hello?”
The busy tone was the only sound left on the phone. Sariah, in a fit of anger, smashed her phone to pieces, sending metal fragments flying in all directions.
“You’re having a great time abroad, while I’m being tormented to death by this bitch!” She vented her frustration by violently attacking the blanket.
Although Serena is intelligent, she is enjoying her life far away across the ocean, so how could she truly understand her pain!
After much thought, she realized that she had to rely on herself!
Sarlah bit her lip and pondered for a while, when suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.
Serena is exceptionally intelligent, but her daughter certainly isn’t!
She remembered that Serena had a young daughter who was left in Seattle, being taken care of by a nanny while attending elementary school. The girl was incredibly innocent and pure-hearted.
All we need to do is find a way to trick this little girl into coming, and it’ll be hard for Serena not to help her. They’re like grasshoppers on the same rope; no one can escape!
“Let’s do it this way!”
Sariah slapped her thigh, revealing a smile that showed her determination to succeed!
On the other side, inside the Delacruz’s home study.
A temporary meeting was held, and Gavyn was feeling a bit of a headache from looking at the data. He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest, and as he tilted his head back, the lines of his jaw were revealed, showing off their superior contours.
At that moment, a light and rhythmic knocking on the door could be heard.
Lloyd, who should have left, returned and stood at the door, speaking softly, “Mr. Delacruz, someone is looking for you outside the mansion.”
