Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Leia was hit hard. She was rejected by the gigolo she liked and humiliated by Arabella. She walked out
of the bar angrily.
At this moment, a few thugs approached and surrounded Leia. They looked at her lustfully. "Little lady,
you are alone, aren't you? Would you like us to have fun with you?"
Leia was the exalted daughter of the Snyder family. She had been well sheltered ever since she was a
child. She had never encountered such danger before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Who are you? I don't want to have fun with you. Go away! Help!"
Leia's own driver was around. The driver saw that Leia was in danger and rushed toward her. "Leave
Miss alone!"
But a couple of the thugs quickly knocked down the driver and kicked him several times.
Leia was so shocked that she stopped breathing. "Help! Hel... Uh!"
The thugs covered her mouth and dragged her to a dimly lit corner. They then touched her little face.
"Such a soft face. Your body must be even softer. We'll have fun with you, then we'll take some photos
as memorabilia. We will call you when we miss you. Hahaha!"
The thugs let out a dirty laugh.
Leia's mouth was covered so she couldn't scream. She hated these lowlife men the most. She was
going to marry into one of the four prominent families in Hardgrad. These filthy men didn't deserve
touching her at all.
Now that they were touching her face, a chill went down her spine. Her whole body trembled in horror
and she begged for mercy.
"Your skirt is pretty short. You came to the bar to hook up with men anyway. Why don't we take it off for
you now?"
Leia was indeed well-dressed, just for Kenneth. Now she felt that someone was pulling her skirt. She
struggled desperately and burst into tears.
No! Ah!
No!
Suddenly, she heard a pleasant voice. "Let go of her."
The thugs loosened their hold and Leia fell to the ground.
Leia's eyes were wet with tears. She looked up in shock and saw a handsome figure in front of her. It
was... it was Randall Hudson!
Leia's pupils shrank. She knew Randall, the firstborn of the Hudson family and the young overlord of
Hardgrad. Everyone knew him.
Randall approached Leia while smoking a cigarette. He looked at her condescendingly. "Ms. Leia, this
is just a small warning. Do not like anyone you shouldn't like. Otherwise, nobody likes you."
Once Randall finished speaking, he dropped his cigarette butt on the ground and put it out by stepping
on it. "Let's go."
They all left.
Leia was a mess as she sat on the ground, gasping for breath. She felt as if she just escaped a
catastrophe. She didn't even know she had offended Randall the young overlord.
At this moment, a luxury car sped past the street. Leia looked up and saw a handsome, angelic face by
the driver's window, which was rolling down slowly. It was... Kenneth.
It turned out to be him!
...
Back at Floweret Garden, Arabella went to her bedroom. She took out her phone and sent a voice
message on Line. "Aurora, I'm indebted to you this time."
Caitlin was a senior actress in the entertainment industry. She had a lot of connections and a solid
public relations team. Usually, if there was any scandal that had yet to be exposed, it would be covered
up by her team. But this time the affair between her and Nolan went viral on Twitter in such a short
time. It was because of one person.
That person was Arabella's bestie, Aurora.
Arabella and Aurora were playmates when they were in kindergarten. The two girls talked about
everything. Later in life, when Shaun ended up in a coma, Aurora was the only person who believed
her.
Arabella was sent to the countryside when she was nine years old. That time, Aurora said goodbye to
her while crying. In recent years, whenever there was a festive season, Aurora would visit Arabella and
help herself to Arabella's food.
Soon came the reply. Arabella opened it and heard Aurora's soft and sweet voice, "Stop being so
polite, Bella. Worry not, this was done personally by my star agent. Seth wouldn't find anything out."
Aurora's voice was particularly pleasant. It was the kind of voice that would make a man fall in love with
her once he heard it.
Of course, Aurora's appearance matched her voice perfectly. She was the number one beauty in
Hardgrad. She debuted in the entertainment industry two years ago and was now a very popular
actress.
This time, it was Aurora who plotted it. Seth couldn't trace it back to Arabella. Even if Caitlin suspected
Arabella, Seth would never believe that his own daughter, who just came back from the countryside,
had the capability to turn the entertainment industry upside down.
Arabella was very moved. "Aurora, when are you coming back to Hardgrad?"
Aurora raised her eyebrows at her end of the phone. Her voice became a little more coquettish. "Why?
Do you miss me? I heard that you had found a new love. Why would you still think of me?"
A new love?
Arabella replied in seconds, "I didn't."
Aurora, "You panicked. You panicked. You panicked."
Arabella didn't know what to say.
But Aurora's another voice message came right after that. "Hurry up and confess honestly. Tell me
about the toy boy you've been keeping."
Expectedly, Aurora was talking about Kenneth...
Aurora was the number one beauty in Hardgrad. She walked the red carpet gracefully with the aura of
a goddess, but she liked gossips in her personal life. One could guess that someone had gossiped to
her about Arabella earlier on.
Suddenly, the door opened. A tall and handsome figure walked in. It was Kenneth who just came back
from the study room.
As if she was afraid of being found out, Arabella, who was lying on the bed just now, sat up instantly.
Kenneth walked into the bedroom and unbuttoned the two buttons of his black shirt with his slender
fingers, revealing his manly, exquisite collarbone. Suddenly, he turned to look at the girl sitting on the
bed. Arabella didn't have time to look away and looked into his narrow eyes at that instant.
They looked at each other. Kenneth smiled. "Is something wrong?"
"No... No," Arabella answered secretively.
Suddenly, her phone rang twice. It was from her Line.
Kenneth's eyes fell on her phone. "Why don't you check your message?"
"I'm checking it now." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Arabella opened Aurora's voice message. "Bella, I trust that you have good taste. Does the toy boy you
keep have a handsome face and a good aura? Most importantly, does he have a sexy waist?"
Listening to Aurora uttering the last phrase with an extremely suggestive tone, Arabella's pretty face
went burning hot. She almost wanted to throw her phone away.
As she flustered, she accidentally played the next voice message right after the last one. "Bella, you
know what a sexy waist is. We made a promise when we secretly watched the erotic film. We must
date men with sexy waists. They are better in bed."
The bedroom was silent.
Arabella hid her phone under the quilt. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to
hide.
It was normal for besties to banter like this, but it was embarrassing to be heard by the person they
spoke about.
"Erm... Mr. Lucero, I'm going to... take a shower first..."
Arabella quickly dashed into the bathroom.
She stood in front of the washbasin and grabbed a towel, only to feel that her fingertips were steaming
hot. And then she saw Kenneth in the clean and bright mirror. He walked towards her with steady steps
and leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets.
