Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！-Chapter 255: My leg was bitten by a dog, she’s jealous of my beauty...
"Still such a compatible couple, no wonder they topped the Most Compatible Couples list back in the day! Dazzling and eye-catching, their looks put any current young stars to shame!"
.....
The chatter from the crowd reached their ears, but Arlo Seys remained as indifferent as ever, pushing Ariel Morris into her seat as arranged by Martin Chapman.
Ariel Morris glanced at Valeria Johnson sitting across from her and noticed her face was a bit pale, prompting a cold laugh in her heart.
Valeria Johnson, the yacht and Elephant Hill incidents—let’s take our time settling those. I’ve got everything noted for you!
Initially, when Arlo Seys brought her to this Class Three reunion, she felt a bit awkward and somewhat reluctant. But now, seeing the discomfort she could cause Valeria Johnson, her spirits lifted by several points.
Valeria Johnson, drink up that vinegar! It’s good for your complexion, enough to grow you into such a scheming green tea bitch!!
The dishes began arriving, filling up the two tables in the private room.
During the gap between serving, someone finally couldn’t resist speaking up, posing a question to the most attention-grabbing couple today.
"Junior Sister Morris, it’s been eight years, how did you end up in a wheelchair?"
The question came from a girl whose face was gloomy, clearly displeased.
Ariel Morris could easily detect the acidity in her tone, glancing at her—an implicit love rival? God Seys is truly a troublemaker...
Ariel Morris pursed her lips, her voice as pitiful as possible, "Got bitten by a dog, I’m quite hopeless and helpless about it. Probably another week or so before it’s healed."
Arlo Seys, Dawn Sutherland, and Nico Haynes, knowing she was injured from falling at Elephant Hill, all looked at her but didn’t expose the lie.
Listening to her response, Arlo Seys’ eyes dimmed slightly, and his thin lips pressed into a line.
"They say dogs have a sense of spirituality. Maybe you did something disgraceful," the girl chimed in again aggressively.
The girl’s words made everyone involuntarily think back to eight years ago when she suddenly transferred abroad, ending her romance with Arlo Seys. It’s perhaps the only thing they can think of right now that Ariel Morris did that seemed irresponsible and disgraceful.
Dawn Sutherland’s face darkened, about to speak up for his little sister, when Nico Haynes signaled him with a glance.
Following Nico Haynes’ glance, Dawn Sutherland noticed the coldness around Arlo Seys’ pursed lips, the chill in his eyes gradually brewing. Dawn Sutherland smiled faintly and remained silent. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Right, naturally, someone would play the hero to save the beauty; he shouldn’t steal the spotlight.
Arlo Seys’ gaze, seemingly nonchalant yet hiding anger, darted at the girl who spoke against Ariel Morris, his cool expression exuding a terrifying coldness.
Dawn Sutherland and Nico Haynes waited to see how Arlo Seys would stand up for Ariel Morris, only to hear Ariel Morris’ clear and pleasant voice ring out, casually and naturally delivering a shameless retort, "Oh, maybe she thinks I’m too pretty, got jealous, and came to bite me. The eyes of the masses are bright—thanks to those who voted for me back in the school beauty pageant. Thank you—" Ariel Morris sincerely thanked twice, then somewhat helplessly said, "This dog bit me, I can’t bite back, getting rabies would be troublesome, so I just had to accept it and be in a wheelchair for two weeks."
Everyone: "...."
Valeria Johnson, targeted obliquely by Ariel Morris’ words, paled another shade.
The girl initially wanted to retort with something like ’shameless,’ but upon hearing Ariel Morris’ mention of the school beauty pageant ’those who voted for me,’ she couldn’t find an appropriate comeback! In the school beauty pageant back in the day, Ariel Morris indeed won first place through alumni voting.
So even if Ariel Morris shamelessly claimed to be beautiful, she didn’t have the standing to say otherwise. Could she argue back, then claim that it was the entire school’s poor judgment that led to Ariel Morris being elected as school beauty?
