Chapter 397


    The next moment, Jared piqued up, “You did us such a huge favor. We should be the ones treating you


    to a meal!”


    Henry nodded as eagerly as before. “Yes! He’s right! Please ept our treat. It would be rude to have


    a girl treat us anyway.”


    Arielle refused their offers. “I’m in a great mood today. So let me have my way; you can treat me


    another day.”


    “Alrighty then!” Henry asked, “So, where should we eat?”


    Before Arielle could answer, the door to their booth was suddenly kicked open, followed by a familiar


    voice.


    “Jared, what the hell did you do this time?”


    Isn’t this Harvey’s voice? Arielle was stunned.


    As expected, Harvey stormed into the room soon after.


    Jared scrunched his brows and was about to reply when Arielle cut in, “Harvey Jupiter?”


    Harvey froze in motion before whipping around to stare at Arielle.


    Once he recognized her, he asked in surprise, “Arielle, what are you doing here?”


    She smiled in response. “I should be asking you the same thing. Aren’t you abroad? When did you get


    back?”


    Harvey’s anger seemed to dete in an instant as he said, “I just got back. I got a phone call from the


    principal the minute I got off the ne, telling me that my younger brother’s in trouble.”


    As he mentioned his younger brother, Harvey’s gazended on Jared, who was next to Arielle.


    “Wait. You guys know each other?”


    Arielle eyed Jared and realized something akin to reverence in thetter’s gaze. He must be pretty


    scared of his older brother.


    Recalling how furious Harvey had been when he


    soothe some of the tension. “Yes, we’re ssmates now. We’re both in the preparatory ss for


    Jadeborough University. I practically begged him to show me around Jadeborough.”


    “Ah, I see.” Harvey nodded as thest hints of anger left his features. He turned to Jared next. “That


    was kind of you. If Arielle’s bored, you should show her around town. I’ll keep this from grandpa.”

    Jared’s eyes widened in shock.


    I thought he would hit me for sure! How did he make aplete one-eighty after a word from Arielle?


    Could it


    be…


    His gaze darted between Arielle and Harvey as he came to a realization.


    She might be my sister-inw in the future. That would be awesome! She’s the coolest! So what if


    those fake socialites said she’s from the countryside? Arielle’s insanely talented and friendly to boot.


    She’s more than a fitting match for Harvey!


    Their conversation, however, told Jared that Harvey’s pursuit of Arielle had yet to seed.


    He decided right then and there to help them speed things along. “Thanks, Harvey. Boss was about to


    treat us to a meal. You probably haven’t eaten anything after getting off the ne; would you like to join


    us?”


    Harvey looked at his younger brother approvingly before speaking to Arielle. “I haven’t eaten. You


    wouldn’t mind me tagging along, would you? I swear I won’t eat you out of house and home.”


    Arielle smiled and shook her head. “Of course not. I’ve got things to ask you anyway.”


    “That’s great. Lead the way, then.”


    The four of them left the inte cafe. The attractive group invited admiring stares from other patrons in


    the inte cafe.


    Someone even pulled out his phone to discreetly snap a shot of the group. He posted it online and


    added a cheeky caption: Ran into some hotties in the inte


    cafe. Yay or nay?


    The person who uploaded the photo happened to be a popr game streamer, and his post was soon


    bombarded withments from his followers.


    Where’s this ce? Sign me up!


    Yay, a billion times yay! Especially that gal!


    Arielle remained blissfully unaware of her anonymous stardom on the Inte. She walked ahead with


    Harvey, while Henry and Jared kept a distance to give them


    some privacy.


    Hmm? This route seems oddly familiar.


    Henry piqued up, “Aren’t we walking back to the university? Is Boss treating us to a meal at the


    cafeteria?”


    “Hey, a treat is a treat. Be grateful,” came Jared’s curt reply.


    Henry grew more perplexed. “Aren’t you a picky eater? Why are you suddenly so considerate?”


    Jared left his friend’s question hanging in the air.


    Once Harvey’s married, he won’t have the time to interfere in my business anymore. What’s a bit of


    cafeteria food for the sake of his marriage and my independence? I can eat anything


    Jared’s expression changed slightly. Okay, maybe not anything


    As Arielle led them toward Jadeborough University, she whispered to Harvey, “Did you find any clues


    during your trip overseas?”


    Harvey nodded and did not bother sugarcoating anything since Arielle was now fully involved. “We


    tracked the coordinates you gave us, but the ce was empty when we arrived. We did find something


    useful, though. The clues are presently pointing us toward a shippingpany.”
