Chapter 832 Remain Single Due to Stupidity


    When Florence saw Kieran leave, she walked towards Phoebe hurriedly and looked at her


    worriedly.


    “Phoebe, are you alright? Did he bully you?”


    “I’m fine. Your brother just came in time.”


    Phoebe shook her head as she looked at Stanford with her eyes shing.


    The words that were said by him just now kepting across her mind.


    Stanford noticed that Phoebe was gazing at him. He showed an uneasy expression on his


    handsome face.


    He said in a deep voice.


    “Don’t misunderstand. I said those words to infuriate Kieran just now.”


    Phoebe was dumbfounded for a while.


    Stanford continued to exin, “I have made some research on dealing with others. Kieran isn’t


    going to hand out Cocos. We aren’t clear with his background and it seems that he won’t be easily


    exposed. So, the fastest way is to provoke him, forcing him to take action.”


    “When he assigns arge number of people to take action, he will be easily exposed at that


    moment.”


    So, he was just pretending to like and pursue her. Nevertheless, he just wanted to make a


    reasonable show of stealing Kieran’s loved one.


    This was to infuriate Kieran so that he would take action towards Ernest and Stanford by all means.


    “Oh, I get it…”


    Phoebe murmured softly while blinking her eyes. However, her heart was somehow overwhelmed


    with emptiness.


    Stanford gently held Phoebe’s hand and asked doubtfully.


    “Phoebe, what did you say?”


    Phoebe regained her sense and shook her head hurriedly, “Nothing. I didn’t say anything.”


    “Don’t be angry. I didn’t know that they arranged in this way. It seems my brother was targeting


    Kieran purposely in the entire party.”


    It made sense after linking up all the previous doubts from her exnation.


    In fact, Stanford wanted to be herpanion just now. Besides, he stopped the dance just to let her


    come and receive the gift in such a high-profile way. Furthermore, he told Kieran that he loved her


    just now.


    The purpose behind them was to infuriate Kieran so that he would take action.


    However, her heart was already pounding rapidly just because of his few fake words. Moreover, she


    even thought too much and anticipated that this was the reality.


    It was really silly and shameful.


    Phoebe shook her head in a panic and asked while pretending to be calm.


    “Kieran is just a yboy. He won’t like me as he is just interested and making fun of me. Although


    he is angry today, still he will be stressed in facing Mr. Hawkins.”


    “How do you guys make sure that he will definitely take action?”


    People who were a bit more cautious would not act impetuously after considering the benefits and


    losses.


    Stanford looked at Phoebe and exined patiently.


    “For a man, stealing his woman is not a matter of whether he likes her. But, it’s a matter of a man


    must uphold his dignity or rather being humiliated.”


    Kieran was the one who could not withstand this kind of humiliation.


    So, he would definitelye to win Phoebe’s heart by all means.


    Phoebe looked at Stanford in a daze as this was the first time that she had heard such a remark


    and it was said by him.


    Stealing his woman did not mean that he liked her, but rather the concern was just to uphold his


    dignity so that he was not humiliated?


    Did all the men have the same perspective like this?


    Her eyes shed as she blurted involuntarily, “Then do you think like that too?”


    Phoebe immediately regretted it after saying that. She wanted to bite off her tongue.


    She wondered why should she ask him this kind of question as it was really awkward.


    She heard Stanford’s clear voice when she was about to tell him to forget about it as she just asked


    blindly.


    “I won’t encounter this kind of thing.”


    That arrogant response was his usual tone.


    Phoebe looked at him as if she saw a bright and awesome figure that she did not dare to approach.


    He was so tall just like a flower on a high mountain as well as a shrine that could not be touched.


    Indeed, he would not encounter this kind of thing because he did not love anybody. No woman


    could attract him.


    If he liked somebody, he would take action with his strength and ability by all means. So, who would


    dare to steal his woman?


    Phoebe was clear but she was getting even depressed.


    She suppressed all her emotions that she should not have to the deepest part of her heart once


    again.


    Collin was leaning against the pir nearby. He shook his head helplessly.


    After hearing the whole process, he felt hopeless for Stanford’s emotional intelligence.


    With such a good opportunity, Stanford had already confessed his love in front of Phoebe. Both of


    them just needed to have eye contact and perhaps they would have a crush on each other.


    Eventually, they would end up getting along together blissfully.


    Even if they did not end up that way, they would still be attracted to each other by such a romantic


    and ambiguous rtionship.


    But what did Stanford do?


    In the first ce, he could not wait to exin that he was just acting!N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    He told Phoebe honestly not to think too much as he did not like her at all.


    It was fine if he did not like her at all. However, Stanford’s face was gloomy for the whole day. This


    showed that he was jealous as he was attracted to her.


    He obviously cared for Phoebe but he still denied itpletely by burning the bridges behind him.


    Even a person who remained single for his whole life was not as stupid as him.


    Moreover, he was even stupid when Phoebe asked the question “Then do you think like that too?”


    Apparently, Phoebe could not help but blurt out and this gave him a great opportunity to confess.


    He just needed to answer something like he didn’t think like that of course. But what did he answer?


    ‘I won’t encounter this kind of thing?!’


    ‘Doesn’t that mean I haven’t fallen in love with anybody yet and no woman is worth having me to do


    that?’


    So, he stated clearly that he didn’t like Phoebe once again and told her not to think too much.


    “Sick of it.”


    Collin massaged his temples as he was deeply worried about the descendant of the Fraser family.


    Stanford had been single for more than twenty years not because that he was too picky but mainly


    due to his low emotional intelligence.


    …


    “I have plenty of money. Why are you kicking me out?”


    Kieran was standing at the reception desk with a sullen face in the lobby of the superior five-star


    hotel.


    He was really on the verge of going crazy as he had never been treated in such a rude manner


    before.


    When he woke up early in the morning, a hotel attendant came to inform him that he should move


    out and could no longer stay in this room.


    When he asked for the reason, the hotel attendant imed that it was the hotel policy as all the


    rooms would be under maintenance and nobody could stay here anymore.


    However, he saw that the receptionists in the lobby were still serving the guests to check in as usual


    when he went to the lobby.


    In fact, there was nothing like hotel maintenance so that nobody could stay anymore.


    This was obviously an excuse to kick him out purposely.


    He had stayed in different hotels for so many years, yet he had encountered such an unpleasant


    experience for the first time and this was so-called the superior five-star hotel.


    The receptionist smiled and said politely.


    “Sir, you really can’t stay in your room anymore as it’s under maintenance. Sorry for the


    inconvenience.”


    “Hey, you guys said that all the rooms will be under maintenance so nobody can stay here anymore.


    But why so many guests checked in just now and you guys don’t tell them their rooms are under


    maintenance?”
