How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 78: Soft Hearted Man
Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Soft Hearted Man
That was the reason why Claudia couldn’t think straight all day today. Because she heard that Arabella was being threatened again and that the murderer was coming, she didn’t want Arabella to get hurt again. Moreover, if she was already skilled at using a gun, she would immediately kill Gerald.
Claudia bit her lip while looking at the luxury watch on her left wrist. She could only pray silently, hopefully when she found Arabella in the penthouse, Arabella would still be alive.
Arriving at the penthouse building, Claudia ran towards Arabella’s penthouse. This time the situation outside Arabella’s penthouse was different from yesterday. It can be seen that the door to this luxury residence is tightly closed, while the digital security door has also been repaired. Claudia was quite relieved to see that the penthouse was safe again thanks to Arabella taking the initiative to call a technician to repair the door to her residence.
This time Claudia couldn’t break into Arabella’s residence. She hid the bell while greeting Arabella via the small LCD screen.
"Arabella, it’s me, Claudia."
In less than ten seconds, Arabella immediately opened the door to her residence. Staring at Arabella’s face, which looked a little calmer compared to yesterday, made Claudia curious about what really happened. Has Gerald stopped threatening Arabella?
Still not opening her mouth, Arabella led Claudia and Sarah to the living room. Seeing that the residence was tidy again, Claudia became increasingly curious that someone was helping Arabella secretly.
"Speaking of which, you tidied up your house really quickly. Last time I went, your house was a mess."
"Because there was a good person who helped me suddenly. Even though I didn’t ask him to help me and I rarely even communicate with him."
"Who is the good guy?"
"Your husband, Claudia."
Claudia raised her right eyebrow. Didn’t expect Harry to move faster than her. Even today she decided not to involve Harry because she wanted to handle Arabella’s problems herself. So, will the novel’s storyline change again? Arabella didn’t die thanks to Harry who saved her first.
"Harry? Aren’t you just acquaintances?"
Arabella nodded. "I also consider him just an acquaintance, because I know him through you. Even though all this time I never talked to him. But, he was able to have my contact number and visited me this morning."
Now Claudia can understand Harry’s character even more. Harry is not just a hero who kills criminals, but he also ensures the lives of the victims survive first and then kills the criminals. Was it because she told Harry last night, that Harry took the initiative to save Arabella first?
"Claudia, seeing how Harry cares about everyone, I’m jealous that you could become his wife. If only I moved faster than you, I wouldn’t be as jealous as I am now."
Claudia could only look down in shame. Her heart was flowering because she was increasingly grateful to have a perfect husband like Harry without having to struggle so hard.
"Then the one who tidied all this up was my husband?"
"At first I was surprised because he came to me suddenly. Moreover, people often gossip that he is a cruel person. Even though he actually has a soft heart."
*****
A few hours ago...
Arabella feels that today is most likely the day she dies. Remembering that Gerald had threatened her again in the middle of the night, that if she didn’t prepare 15 billion for him by tomorrow, then a penthouse building would be burned. That’s why, since yesterday Arabella hasn’t tidied up her house and hasn’t repaired the door, because it would be a waste if that psychopath came back to destroy this residence again.
Even Arabella couldn’t have breakfast in peace. Even though her assistant kept calling her dozens of times, she still didn’t pick up the phone call. Just gave a short message on the grounds that she wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t want to be disturbed. She also gave a short message in the Scarlet Community chat group that she was not feeling well.
After giving the news to everyone closest to her, she decided to be alone in this messy residence. In the midst of the quiet atmosphere of the penthouse, suddenly an unknown number called her. At first Arabella didn’t want to answer the call, especially considering the possibility that Gerald would contact her with a fake number so that the police would have difficulty tracking her.
In the end, Arabella decided to answer the phone call from an unknown number.
"Arabella, it’s me, Harry."
Arabella furrowed her eyebrows. The first time her friend’s husband contacted her made it start to feel awkward. "What’s wrong with you calling me suddenly?"
"You’re at home, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"I will visit you. Do not go anywhere!"
The phone call suddenly ended and Arabella could only rub her chest. Waiting for Harry’s arrival, confused about the purpose of his sudden arrival in the midst of this chaos.
A few minutes later, Harry arrived at Arabella’s residence, accompanied by Thomas and several technicians. Seeing Harry bring a lot of people made Arabella’s eyes widen. Moreover, she hadn’t asked Harry for help so far.
"Harry, what are you doing here?"
Harry smiled faintly as he glanced briefly at all the officers to carry out their respective duties. "I’m looking to fix your house."
Arabella folded her arms. "How do you know my home address? Then, how do you know my contact number? Did Claudia tell you everything?"
"Yes, last night it was Claudia who told the story and of course I wasn’t going to stay silent. "That’s why, before anything bad happens to you again, I invited several technicians to tidy up your house."
"I feel like I owe a lot of gratitude for causing trouble to you and your wife. Even though my relationship with your wife is not very close either."
"I don’t mind being bothered. I just don’t want Claudia to lose one of her precious friends. I don’t want her to cry because I didn’t do anything."
Hearing Harry’s excessive attention, Arabella laughed awkwardly. "So this is your true attitude, Harry. No wonder Claudia fell in love with you so easily."
"Because my time is limited here. I just want to warn you. Today, don’t go anywhere, this is for your safety."
"Yes, I’m on leave today."
"Then, tell me about Gerald’s activities today."
