Chapter 349
When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 349
He was such a Gentleman.
âShut up, I said I donât want to see you now. Get out, right away,â Lisa demanded.
âAlright.â Daniel reluctantly glanced at Gina, âMiss Miller, I believe fate will bring us meet again soon.â
With that, Daniel left.
The situation didnât go the way Elaine expected. She thought Lisa would confront Gina with Daniel, but Lisa hadnât even spoken harshly to Gina.
Elaine was getting impatient. She wondered how Lisa planned to deal with Gina.
Elaine kept an eye on Lisaâs lips, thinking that Lisa was finally going to scold the shameless seductress Gina. But to her surprise, Lisa said, âMiss Barnes, please leave. I have something to say to Miss Miller alone.â
Elaine was reluctant. Was there something she couldnât listen in on? But her relationship with the princess wasnât close enough for her to make demands. Reluctantly, Elaine nodded. âAlright, Princess.â
Once Elaine left, Lisa immediately wiped away the tears in her eyes and smiled. âMiss Miller, thank you for helping me out.â
Gina was slightly stunned. âWhat?â
Lisa smiled as she explained, âAt first, Daniel was indeed my preferred choice for marriage. Of course, mere satisfaction from me isnât enough, I also need approval from my elders and my parents. They all liked Daniel very much. Compared to noble sons who lead extravagant lifestyles, Daniel is much more outstanding. But I didnât love him as much as I pretended
to.â
âJust like Daniel wasnât wholeheartedly in love with me either.â
âOtherwise, he wouldnât have fallen in love with you at first sightâ Lisa said with a smile.
âSo, the husband selection banquet is just a formality. Daniel will most likely become my husband. But once I marry him, becoming a member of his family, Iâll have no chance of being the crown princeâs consort. Now that Daniel has fallen in love with someone else, I have a reason to feel sad. I also have a reason to refuse the banquet for the time being.â
Lisa continued, âOtherwise, once the matter of the terrorist attack is settled, the husband selection banquet will be immediately put on the agenda.â
Lisaâs apparent sadness just now was all an act. Lisa brightened up, âMiss Miller, rest assured, what I just said was sincere, and I didnât mean to blame you at all. I think itâs not surprising for such an outstanding woman like you to have multiple suitors. Or, Iâd say, having a few more men around is not a problem.â
Gina smiled wryly, âThereâs no need for that. I only need my boyfriend, thatâs enough.â
Lisa smiled, âThen your boyfriend is very lucky.â
âAlright, Iâll go be sad now, and wonât disturb you anymore,â Lisa said cheerfully. For the next period of time, she needed to play the role of a lovesick girl, so that her brother could be reassured.
On the other side.
Elaine returned home and called Colin again. She asked with concern, âColin, how are things going on the bad guysâ side?

Chapter 349
Have you handled it? Are they keeping quiet? The ones who got caught, they wonât⦠they wonât rat me out to the royal family, will they?â
âNo,â Colin affirmed. He had promised his leader to deliver a batch of firearms to the terrorist organization, settling the
matter.
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief. âColin, Iâm glad to have you. Love you!â
Colin felt somewhat helpless. Dealing with arms wasnât easy. It took a lot of money and effort to settle the matter with the bad guys. Colin couldnât bring himself to blame his sister, but he still had to advise her, âIn the future, refrain from coming up with bad ideas and making deals with the bad guys. Do you even realize how unscrupulous those people are?â
When Colin uttered these words, they sounded somewhat amusing. The bad guys were extremely unscrupulous, but Colin wasnât much better.
âIâm sorry for causing you trouble.â Elaine immediately felt wrong.
Colin couldnât bear to continue talking about his sister, âAlright, alright, letâs just put this behind us. I understand that you were trying to bring honor to our family with this, but Iâm not angry, I just want you to know, in the future, donât act so impulsively.â
Colin could only reason with his sister in this lifetime.
Elaine could only listen to her brotherâs words. âMm-hmm, I understand.â
âHow did it go? Did you successfully make friends with the princess?â Colin asked.
Elaine said excitedly, âI think it does. The princess even asked for my help with her troubles. Even if she doesnât truly see me as a friend, she owes me a favor now!â
âWhat favor?â Colin felt a bit uneasy, even having an ominous premonition.
âThe princess said that some of the supercars in her collection were flawed and she no longer liked them. She found them to be an eyesore in the garage and wanted to sell them. I bought them for 300 million dollars. Regardless, I think the princess wonât forget my generous help,â Elaine explained happily.
Colin asked, âFlaws? What brands and models are these cars?â
After Elaine listed the brands and models of the cars one by one, Colinâs face turned completely pale.
âThese cars donât belong to the princess at all; they belong to Gina! Theyâre the ones I arranged for a mentally ill person to deliberately destroy at the sports exhibition!â
Before he could rejoice in the fact that he had caused Gina to lose nearly 200 million dollars, his sister happily told him tha she had bought these cars. She had even overpaid by more than 100 million dollars.
Elaine was stunned. She never expected the princess to trick her
Elaine was frantic. âWhy? Why would the princess help Gina?â
âI was about to ask you the same thing,â Colin replied, speechless
Elaine felt a sense of breakdown. âI remember now. Gina stole my credit and became the timely rescuer of the princess in distress. Thatâs why the princess is helping her! This despicable person, sheâs already thinking about scheming against us at the first opportunity!â

Colin chuckled in exasperation. It seemed that Ginaâs trip abroad this time was probably to find an apparent buyer to sell the flawed cars to them.
Now, they couldnât possibly return the cars to the princess. The Barnes family also cared about their reputation. Moreover, returning the cars to the princess would be disrespectful, and possibly upsetting to her. She might think Elaine was untrustworthy, damaging their chances of friendship. Elaine still wanted to be good friends with the princess.
âWhere is the car now?â Colin asked.
âPrincess said she would arrange for someone to deliver the cars to our garage at home,â Elaine said gloomily.
Colin was silent. Then, after gritting his teeth for a moment, he suddenly chuckled ominously.
