Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1124 - Chapter 1124 Chapter 1096 No Treats Just Tricks

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1096 No Treats, Just Tricks Chapter 1124: Chapter 1096 No Treats, Just Tricks Zoel Cohen dodged Kiara’s teasing gaze and asked directly.

“Just tell me, how can I get Lucy to stop screwing me over like this?”

“Force won’t work,” this statement was ordinary, but why did it sound so off to Zoel Cohen? He suspected Kiara was making some kind of innuendo, but he had no evidence.

“That’s why you have to use a softer approach,” Kiara was almost hurting inside from holding back.

Zoel Cohen felt the urge to show her the door again.

“Speak human!”

“You could always employ a ‘handsome man strategy.’ Let me give you some solid advice–psychologically speaking, the tougher a person is, the more love they lack in their heart. Aka has been an orphan since she was little, and her upbringing was pretty harsh. Just show a tiny bit of vulnerability to her, and she definitely won’t lay a hand on you.”

Kiara’s suggestion struck Zoel Cohen like a bolt from the blue, “I, a grown man, show weakness to that little brat Lucy?”

“Acting cute works too, guaranteed she won’t bother you afterward. The more you confront her, the more she’ll retaliate. Seriously.”

“Forget it. Relying on you, a quack, I might as well figure it out myself.” Asking him to act cute was worse than just killing him and getting it over with.

Kiara was frustrated, “Good advice is lost on the doomed. If you won’t listen, just wait for her to keep haunting you.”

After leaving Zoel Cohen’s place, Kiara didn’t rush to the Lee Clan; instead, she went home.

She heated up a pot of herbal tea in the microwave, lit some calming incense, and meditated to music.

This case was different from those she’d dealt with before. Although the medical condition wasn’t severe, the issues involved were quite broad. In such situations, one mustn’t act impulsively but think things through carefully beforehand.

After finishing her meditation and while her mind was still clear, Kiara took out a notebook and started writing a treatment plan. Based on her encounter with Old Man Li Brown the previous day, the plan practically wrote itself.

At work, her concentration was at its peak. It wasn’t until she finished writing that she realized something was wrong.

What was that pile of shredded fabric on the floor? And why did the pattern look so much like her NBE Handmade Wool Shawl?!

That was her favorite shawl!

The distinctive feature of the exotic hand-knit shawl was that each pattern was unique, with no second copy anywhere in the world. Kiara had many shawls, but this one was her pride and joy. And now, her beloved item lay in tatters throughout the room.

All the careful groundwork she had laid out earlier was now pointless.

Kiara could feel her blood coursing in reverse, anger rushing up instantly. Her beautiful big eyes became piercing as she started searching for the culprit.

When Mario Yuno got off work, he saw his daughter-in-law chasing after Beautiful Lady with a kitchen knife in hand, darting here and there. Alarmed, Camden didn’t even bother to change his shoes and rushed over to wrestle the weapon from her grasp.

“Daughter-in-law, what are you doing!”

“Let go of me! I’m going to kill that beast to avenge my pure wool shawl!!”

Seeing her protector had returned, Beautiful Lady tucked her tail and ran behind Mario Yuno, stretching out all four limbs and burying her head in her paws, a picture of mistreatment.

Upon seeing the dog’s green tea act, Kiara’s anger only intensified.

“Mario Yuno, you just keep spoiling her. Look at what this damned thing has turned into! Evidence! That’s the evidence!” Her poor scarf!

Mario Yuno also spotted the pile of fragments on the floor; his daughter-in-law seemed to really like that scarf, as he often saw her wearing it.

No wonder she was so furious.

Mario Yuno stared in panic, pointing at the Beautiful Lady behind him and scolding fiercely, “You little troublemaker! This is your Mother’s favorite thing, how could you break it? Go! Stand in the corner and think about what you’ve done! You’re losing a piece of ribs for dinner tonight!”

The “Woof” that came out was so full of sorrow and wistfulness, conveying all the hardships of a dog’s life. Truly, it’s not easy at all.

“Get going now!” Mario Yuno was worried that if he didn’t separate his daughter-in-law and the Beautiful Lady soon, his daughter-in-law might really take a knife to the Beautiful Lady in a fit of rage.

“Mario Yuno! You son of a gun, you’re taking sides!” Kiara, of course, saw through Camden’s stalling tactics. He was just trying to prevent her from beating up the Green Tea Hound Clan by sending the dog away!

“Daughter-in-law, I’m not! Didn’t you see I scolded her seriously?”

“Scolding’s no use, I think we should just have dog meat Hot Pot tonight, to replenish my damaged brain cells. I simply can’t even!”

Hearing Kiara mention dog meat Hot Pot, the Beautiful Lady dog shuddered, letting out a whimpering sound.

Seeing this, Mario Yuno quickly hugged Kiara, “Well, we do need to replenish you, daughter-in-law. Oh, I have a task for you!”

“A task for me?” Kiara paused in her search for trouble.

“Yes, you must complete the medical record you took on yesterday.”

“That stuff shouldn’t be your concern, should it? Since when do you meddle so much?” Kiara immediately thought of what Zoel Cohen said about the item held by the Old Master.

“It looks like you already know, did Zoel Cohen tell you?”

“Hmm.”

“This makes it easier to explain. You’re right, that item wouldn’t be under our jurisdiction even if it were handed over, but I still have a duty to protect while it’s on my turf. The Lee Clan knows they’ve found you, they’ve asked me to pass on a message: Please be sure to complete the treatment of Old Man Li Brown.”

Kiara actually had already agreed to Zoel Cohen and received quite a few benefits from Aurora Dell, even surreptitiously nabbing from Zoel a court cloisonne jewelry box with Hotan jade inlay, but hearing Camden say that they knew as well, her eyes rolled instantly. She had been the fierce wife chasing the dog just moments ago, and now she suddenly turned into a delicate Grace Johnson, collapsing weakly on the sofa, posing like a damsel clutching her heart in distress.

“It’s no good, my body… It’s getting worse, I fear I won’t be able to take on this responsibility. My whole body and head are aching.”

Hearing Kiara’s all-too-familiar complaint of body and headache, the corner of Mario Yuno’s mouth twitched.

“Daughter-in-law, what are you playing at now?”

“Your promise is no good, I’m having difficulties! Call him up, tell him my body and head are aching and it’s inconvenient for me to see patients.”

Kiara thought for a moment, “Never mind, I’ll tell him myself.”

After saying that, she pulled out her phone and started texting. Mario Yuno said in Astonishment, “He gave you his number?!”

He didn’t have that person’s private number!

“He gave it to me at the wedding last time, told me to contact him if there was any issue, and now isn’t this an issue?”

Kiara texted as she spoke, and not two minutes after sending, a call came through.

Mario Yuno watched from the side as Kiara displayed her divine acting skills yet again.

“Yes, my whole body is uncomfortable, I feel like I might let down the Organization’s trust in me. Is the illness treatable? Of course, it’s treatable. If I were feeling well, it would just take a few days. Do you hope for my speedy recovery, or would you prefer my illness lingers?”

Mario Yuno held his forehead; his daughter-in-law was clearly trying to extort them. She was practically saying ‘give me a treat or cause a fuss.’

That’s too reckless! She dares to blackmail anyone!
