Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089 Chapter 1061 Not As Noble As You Think

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1061 Not As Noble As You Think Chapter 1089: Chapter 1061 Not As Noble As You Think Mrs. Kiara admitted she was being somewhat childish, but she couldn’t help it due to her personality.

The resentment she held towards that green tea pooch was her own emotion, yet feeling angry seeing her own foolish dog being bullied was another matter entirely.

No matter how Kiara commanded Beautiful Lady to fight back, Beautiful Lady remained indifferent, pretending to be an inconspicuous passerby dog, quietly keeping its mouth shut.

And that little deer dog, sensing Beautiful Lady’s cowardice, got even more arrogant, howling away as if it wished it could break free from its leash and take a few bites at her. Beautiful Lady just stood behind Kiara’s legs, trying hard to play invisible~

Kiara scanned the area and saw that the sister-in-law hadn’t returned yet. Finally losing her patience, she pointed at the arrogant little Walter and shouted sternly.

“Shut your mouth!”

Animals have an instinct to recognize the dominance in humans, especially dogs, which are particularly notorious for taking advantage of human backing. Seeing that Beautiful Lady was compliant, it bullied her relentlessly, but when Kiara took matters into her own hands, little Walter instantly cowered.

Pointing at Walter’s nose in fury, Kiara said, “If you dare to bully my dog again, I’ll turn you into a hot pot stew, got it?!”

The sister-in-law returned carrying a plastic bag and saw her own Walter obediently standing in front of a utility pole, seemingly behaving very well.

Kiara smiled amicably.

“Sister-in-law, thank you for keeping an eye on Zander for me.”

“No problem, it was nothing.”

The sister-in-law unhooked the leash to free the little dog, “Zander, let’s go home~”

The little Walter ran off without looking back, cherishing its dog life far away from vicious humans.

Mrs. Kiara, you see, when riled up, wouldn’t even spare a pet.

As soon as she got home and closed the door, Kiara immediately scolded Beautiful Lady, pointing at her nose and berating her for not standing up for herself. “You’re so big, how can you be such a scaredy-cat? Even that little runt dares to strut around on your head; what are those teeth for?! Can’t you bark back?!”

Beautiful Lady’s attitude toward Kiara had improved a bit, and seeing Kiara so furious, she tried to lick Kiara’s hand but was pushed away in disgust.

“Don’t try to cozy up to me! I don’t mess with those who don’t mess with me, and the same goes for dogs! If it treats you well, you may reciprocate with kindness, but if it’s baring its teeth at you, then you’ve got to fight back fiercely!”

Kiara’s reaction was like a parent whose child had been bullied, coming home to close the door and sternly lecturing the child.

Beautiful Lady obediently lay down on the ground, head touching the floor, listening to the scolding.

“It makes me so angry just looking at you!”

Wait, why does this scene feel so familiar?

After thinking for a while, Kiara suddenly remembered.

In her past life, it seemed she had scolded her daughter Wendy in the same manner. However, the daughter was not one to take a beating without retaliation, which was what angered Kiara; rather, the child was too tough, beating anyone in school who dared, and if someone so much as laughed at her for not having a father, she would leave them with a bruised face. Because of this, Kiara was often called in by the school, frequently summoned by the teacher.

Back then, she would admonish her daughter, telling her that force wasn’t the solution to problems.

But now that she had another family member being bullied, Kiara found herself missing her daughter’s resilience.

“If you had half your sister Wendy’s gumption, you wouldn’t be living so miserably. Silly dog, you can’t let yourself be taken advantage of outside. You have to hit back if someone bullies you, understand?”

“Woof…”

Kiara couldn’t tell what Beautiful Lady might be trying to say; her voice sounded different from before. Kiara reached out to pet her, expecting Beautiful Lady to run away as she had been refusing to be touched the past few days, but to her surprise, Beautiful Lady didn’t flee and let herself be petted.

That day Beautiful Lady ate more dog food than usual and seemed less opposed to Kiara feeding her, though Kiara didn’t know why.

This incident also made Kiara realize that Beautiful Lady was indeed very timid.

She could tolerate other dogs bullying Beautiful Lady when they went for walks, but when chased by a kitten, Kiara couldn’t stand it any longer.

She really wanted to ask Mario Yuno, was this truly the dog that had performed notable services and caught criminals? How could it be so docile.

The prerequisite was that she had to get in touch with Mario Yuno.

Mario Yuno had been gone for five days.

Apart from a phone call in between, there had been no further news.

Kiara was very unlucky these past two days. Although Beautiful Lady was no longer opposing her, she had injured her foot. She was pushed into a ditch by a careless junior at School while riding a bike, and her ankle twisted immediately.

The junior, upon realizing that she had hit the school’s Ava Goddess, turned pale from fright, too scared to even speak, while Kiara consoled her instead, telling her not to take it to heart.

Kiara hobbled home with a foot swollen like a steamed bun.

When misfortune rains, it pours. Just as she got home with a limp and sat down to take a sip of water, the phone rang.

“Kiara.”

Mario Yuno’s voice sounded much heavier than usual. It had been days since Kiara heard from him, and she didn’t notice anything amiss. She happily asked,

“When are you coming back?”

There had been no progress in the case for the past few days. Could it be that he had already wrapped it up?

“There’s something I need to tell you. I am asking this officially, and you can either accept or refuse.”

Hearing his formal tone, Kiara suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Go ahead.”

“We’ve locked on to the suspect’s trail. But, he has taken Renee Wong hostage.”

“Taken hostage… who?!”

Kiara thought she had heard wrong.

Hadn’t elder Brother sent Renee Wong away?

That family, in collusion with outsiders, had tried to plot against elder Brother, but elder Brother and Kiara had discovered their scheme and defeated them utterly. elder Brother had left the Smith Family with a lifeline, on the condition that they never set foot in this province again, and that Renee Wong never lay eyes on Zoe again.

How could a person destined to fade from the stage of history suddenly be held hostage by a vile and violent criminal?

And why, at this moment, was Mario Yuno making this call back to Kiara, in his official capacity?

“This criminal is craftier than we thought. I’ve found his hideout, but I didn’t expect him to capture Renee Wong as a hostage, and he’s even made a demand.”

Mario Yuno had encountered many vicious criminals, but this one was the most brutal and the smartest, with a very high IQ and the ability to evade surveillance.

“Does his demand have something to do with me?”

“Yes, he wants to meet with you alone, to talk to you. If you don’t show up within the specified time, he’ll kill Renee Wong. I won’t force this on you; you can come, or you can choose not to.”

Mario Yuno was over ninety percent sure he could ensure Kiara’s safety, but he didn’t want to impose any demands on her.

It was like how he had secretly taken care of Beautiful Lady without pressure, doing what he felt was right but not forcing Kiara to meet his moral standards. This was what Kiara liked and admired most about him.

Even when everyone else thought Kiara should show up for the sake of saving someone, Mario Yuno still gave Kiara the freedom to choose. He would not force Kiara to make extra efforts just because she was his wife, nor would he ask her to do things she didn’t like.

“I won’t go.”

Kiara refused calmly.

She did not possess such a magnanimous heart and didn’t care if she was deemed selfish.

That Renee Wong had previously made life difficult for her family members. Now, they wanted her to save that woman, which she could not bring herself to do.
