Veronica looked like she was about to hurt, she just couldnât stand girls who loved to play it up.
Belinda took a deep breath and put on a smile, âAlright, Mr. Larios. In that case, may I book a nearby hotel for you?â
Chase responded with a smile, âSure, thatâd be great.â
âNo problem; itâs what Iâm here for.â
With that, Belinda went out to make the reservation. She didnât want to download an app to make the booking, and she also wanted to get a bit of fresh air to keep her cool.
After Belinda left, Ellinor picked up the fruit knife that Ida had just used to peel an apple and hurled it towards Chase.

After all, the first time they met, Ellinor dunked her head in a toilet.
Of course, that was because she had started the trouble.
But wasnât throwing knives a bit too violent?
Ellinor looked at her coolly, âSo why are you asking now?â
Veronica asked worriedly, âYouâre not going to get violent with my brother in the future, are you?*
Ellinor paused a moment, looking at her with a strange expression, then after a while said, âYou think I could take your brother?â
Veronica pondered, âFair point! You definitely couldnât take my brother! But my brother never hits women; what if you take advantage of that and get
