Chapter 157

She didn’t immediately check her phone, but stood up and said to the other party’s manager, “Good

luck with our future cooperation.”

“Ms Bennett, you’re a straightforward person, I have faith that our partnership will go smoothly.”

The other party’s manager seemed very pleased with her, smiling as he said, “As long as the goods

are delivered on time and there is no problem with the quality, we will continue to cooperate”

“I understand” Arabella smiled, “We always aim for the best, you have nothing to worry about.

The other party’s manager left with a smile.

Arabella watched him leave, then checked her phone. She noticed that Romeo had called her twice.

She dialed him back, “What’s up?”

“Are you busy?”

“Yeah, just had a meeting with a potential partner.”

“I’d like to be your partner too “Romeo said tenderly, “This way, I could see you more often.”

Arabella chuckled, “Aren’t we seeing each other often enough?”

“Not enough.” Romeo replied firmly, “I want to be with you every second of every minute.”

Arabella was walking down the street, “Alright, I’m about to hail a cab. We can talk when I get home,

okay?”

“You’re out alone?” Roméo thought she had an assistant with her, “I’ll come pick you up. Where are

you?”

“It’s fine, I’m close to the office. I’ll just grab a cab.”

“I want to pick you up.”

Romeo had already left his office. Carl saw him rushing out and thought something had happened!

Arabella, feeling helpless, sent him her location and then waited at the side of the street.

Aside from the coffee shop she had just left, the other shops on the street were all empty. Behind her

was a piece of land overgrown with weeds, giving off a deserted vibe.

She pulled out her phone to handle some personal matters. Not long after, three cars pulled up.

She looked up and saw Myra, whom she had given a beating; getting out of the car with her brother

Harry and a dozen henchmen.

“It’s her!”

Myra was originally going to settle scores with Molly and Iris, but she didn’t expect to see Arabella on

the way.

“She slapped me first, and even kicked me!” Myra complained to her brother.

The wind blew Arabella’s long hair, her fresh face left Harry dumbstruck. She was stunning!!

“Harry, stop zoning out! Get revenge for me!” Myra’s swollen face barely covered by one hand, she

nudged Harry.

Harry had seen many pretty girls, but Arabella’s beauty was a first.

He walked up to Arabella and asked, “Did you hit my sister?”

Arabella raised an eyebrow, seemingly unbothered by them.

These dozen or so thugs, plus Harry who was still a kid, were they underestimating her?

“If you know your mistake, kneel down and kowtow to me ten times.” Myra, emboldened by her

brother’s support, arrogantly said to Arabella.

Arabella looked at her arrogant demeanor, and coldly said, “Who do you think you are?”

Myra was so angry she couldn’t find words to retort, her face twisted with rage.

“What a sharp–tougued girl.Harry seemed interested, “You don’t have to kneel if you don’t want to. Just

keep me company, make me happy, and we’ll let bygones be bygones.”

“Harry, what are you saying? I told you to teach her a lesson!” Myra didn’t want to let this go so easily.

She hadn’t had a chance to properly teach Arabella a lesson.

Arabella raised her eyebrow at Harry, “Here? I don’t think so.”

She knew there were a few surveillance cameras around that could provide evidence.

“If you’re shy, we can go there.“ Harry seemed to think she had agreed, pointing to the weed–filled field

behind Árabella.

“Alright.” Arabella walked towards the field, Harry followed, and the dozen or so henchmen looked at

Myra, unsure whether to follow.

Myra was full of questions.

This girl was known to be good at fighting, why did she give in so easily? Did she know that these

thugs were tough, or was she trying to lure her brother? Did she think her beauty could get her into the

Cooper family?!

Ha, what a pipe dream!

Arabella walked into the field, the grass reaching up to her knees. She turned to Harry and said, “This

is fine.”

Harry hadn’t expected this woman to choose a location. This spot was perfect to block the view of

others. She really was shy.

“Just you?” Arabella raised an eyebrow, looking at the dozen or so henchmen behind him, “Aren’t the

others joining?”

How could he possibly let his underlings enjoy such a beautiful girl?

Just as Harry was about to lay a hand on Arabella, she quickly caught his hand and before he could

react, he was thrown into the bushes, getting a mouthful of

dirt!

“Damn it.” Myra knew she was a tough girl, “What are you guys waiting for? Go and help!”

This girl was really annoying, daring to lay a hand on her precious brother? Harry was the family’s

treasure!

The dozen or so thugs rushed at Arabella, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes She kicked one of the

men flying, then swiftly punched another in the stomach.

A stick was swung at her from the air, Arabella grabbed the man’s wrist and hit him over the head with

his own stick, then kicked him away.

The remaining thugs surrounded her. They attacked at once, Arabella used one of them as a human

shield, then picked off the others one by one. A thug pulled out a knife to slash at Arabella, but she not

only dodged swiftly, but also held the knife against his throat, scaring him witless.

Myra watched in shock as Arabella took down each man, one after the other. The last man was

trembling from head to toe, hands up in surrender.

He even knocked himself out with his own stick and collapsed in the bushes.

Arabella then turned to Myra.

Myra was scared stiff, and now she was alone!!

“Harry, Harry!” Myra called a few times, but her precious brother didn’t emerge from the bushes. She

was scared, unable to comprehend how there could be such a person in this world!
