Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1197 - Chapter 1197 Chapter 1169 The Young Couple Bets on a Game

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1169: The Young Couple Bets on a Game Chapter 1197: Chapter 1169: The Young Couple Bets on a Game Kiara had predicted that Arlong would not accept the special recruitment offer given to him. Even if he did, his comrades from the same cohort would not be pleased, as everyone had come through assessments. If Arlong was special recruited because of his heroism, it would inevitably lead to some dissatisfaction.

Moreover, since Mario Yuno is Arlong’s brother-in-law, if someone were to gossip about this in the future, they might even speculate Mario Yuno contrived the heroic incident just to give his uncle a leg up.

Arlong gathered evidence for Kiara and got injured while performing a heroic act, so Mario Yuno’s decision to offer him a special recruit was not undue. However, for the sake of her brother’s future, Kiara chose to extend the assessment. After Arlong helped her with the evidence and returned, he just managed to participate in the assessment. Whether he could stay was up to him, and surely enough, Arlong did not disappoint, scoring a good rank.

“Daughter-in-law, you really understand Arlong. After your guidance, the kid seems to have gone through a transformation,” Mario Yuno commented.

“I might understand Arlong, but I surely don’t understand Grace Bradford as much as you do. Camden, do you guess that Grace Bradford will retreat in the face of danger or will she take a risk and silence the witnesses?” Kiara asked.

“She will definitely find a chance to make a move on the Beautiful Lady,” Mario Yuno confidently declared.

“How do you know?” Kiara had studied Grace Bradford for a long time but could never truly grasp her psychological state.

There are some people who are particularly skilled at hiding their emotions. Grace Bradford always seemed to wear a mask, never showing her true inner state.

Such clients are a real headache for psychologists.

“Based on my many years of experience, such a person will definitely take risks. If you really want me to explain…” Mario Yuno thought for a moment, then suddenly flashed a sly smile.

“Daughter-in-law, why do you think Robin Grutt walked straight into Miss Fernandez’s trap of unrequited love step by step towards his own demise in ‘Dream of Red Mansion’? From an outsider’s perspective, being duped once is already silly enough, but why does he keep falling for it again and again? Kiara, have you ever seen someone bitten by a turtle?”

“I’ve heard that you should never tease a turtle. If it bites, it won’t let go, not even if its head is chopped off,” Kiara replied.

Kiara remembered a funny incident from her childhood. A neighbor from Seaside had caught a turtle, and for some unfathomable reason, they decided to tease it with their finger, ending up getting bitten. It was said to be quite painful. Kiara was young then and even brought her younger brother to spectate. It had clung on for more than ten minutes, and nothing they tried could pry it loose.

The fierce image of the turtle was deeply ingrained in Kiara’s memory.

“People like Grace Bradford are just like turtles, as soon as they find an opportunity to bite, they won’t let go, and the more serious the crime, the bolder they become. Ordinary fears don’t deter them,” Mario Yuno explained.

After hearing Mario Yuno’s analysis, Kiara felt reassured.

Her Camden had not yet made a misjudgment, so setting traps and planning to catch Grace Bradford should be within his grasp.

“Of course, don’t trust me too much. I’m not infallible; there are things I don’t understand,” Camden remarked in a serious tone.

Huh? Where did the sun rise from? Could this thick-skinned guy actually be modest?

Kiara attentively waited for what he would say next but then saw him shaking his head and chuckling, “Regarding this matter of relieving finger fatigue… I think we need to do more research on it, daughter-in-law. As you know, I have too much respect for traditional culture. To prevent our culture from being lost with us, could you give it another try?”

“…” Where’s his shame?

Kiara stood up to leave this guy who couldn’t stay handsome for three sentences without being shameless, but Edward Wheeler wouldn’t stop clinging to her.

The fun-loving guy had lost all semblance of decorum, having enjoyed his last meal far too much. Kiara was regretting ever letting him get a taste of victory!

He was stirring up trouble, citing classical literature to back up his antics. It really fits the saying: there’s nothing scarier than a rogue with culture!

Feeling harassed by him, Kiara’s eyes darted around as she hatched a plan.

“Let’s make a bet,” she suggested.

“Oh?” he responded, intrigued.

“We’ll bet on the time it takes for Grace Bradford to be caught. If she doesn’t take the bait within a week, and before our child is three months old, you’ll have to resolve it yourself in the way you interpret the classics,” Kiara challenged.

Mario Yuno gasped, three months?

His daughter-in-law is just over a month now, wouldn’t that mean he’d have to hold out for another month?

“No way, absolutely not betting with you, daughter-in-law, ah, the dangers of gambling are immense, truly, how can we, who are pure and upright, be tainted by such an evil thing?”

Kiara watched this shameless guy pretending to be a big bad wolf, and she revealed a calm smile.

“No, no, no, husband, the saying goes ‘a little gamble enlivens the spirit,’ you think the bet is quite big, right? But there are benefits if you win, if you can catch Grace Little Phoenix Bradford within a week–”

Mario Yuno half-closed his eyes, completely uninterested and unmoved.

Hmph, he wouldn’t bet if it meant suffering for over a month.

“If you can catch her, I’ll do this…” Kiara whispered two words into his ear, and Mario Yuno immediately widened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

“Are you serious?”

“I swear it.”

Fishing, huh? If there’s no sacrifice or bait, how would he bite?

So Kiara watched him sitting there, face contorted with struggle, as if pondering some profound life dilemma.

A minute later, Mario Yuno made up his mind.

“Deal, I’ll take the bet!”

For the sake of that beautiful tomorrow, he’s all in!

Kiara also revealed a triumphantly sly smile, hehe, her little hands would finally not have to work so hard in the future.

“If I win, you better not welsh on the bet, wait, you’re the one most likely to welsh, daughter-in-law, what if you do welsh?” Mario Yuno was quite vigilant.

“Hmm, how could you possibly win–” Kiara almost voiced her true inner thoughts but stopped herself and put on a serious face, “If I welsh on the bet, then I’ll voluntarily contribute my allowance for one month to you, how about that? I won’t buy clothes or bags!”

“No good, money’s no use to me,” Mario Yuno was not to be fooled.

Kiara’s eyes flickered, “So if I welsh on the bet, I’ll be a little dog, alright?”

“Fine! If you welsh, you’ll be a little dog!”

Kiara snickered to herself, this guy is a fool, it’s not like she could really turn into a little dog, it was just to tease him. But little did Kiara know, Mario Yuno’s mind was filled with images of her wearing little ears, special outfits, and even a little tail. Tsk, life, so verdant.

“I’m off, daughter-in-law, you should rest early.” He left with those lush green fantasies in mind.

“What time is it now, where are you going?”

“To the Workplace Organisation, to start planning the capture!”

Charged up for this “grand bet,” Camden was like a chicken on steroids, deciding to work overtime at the Workplace Organisation; he felt that beautiful future was waving at him.

Kiara made a face behind his back, she didn’t believe Grace Little Phoenix Bradford with that IQ would be caught within a week. Thinking about Ethan Yuno suffering miserably in the future, Kiara felt that as his loving wife, she could certainly buy a couple more cool pajamas to help him… fan the flames?
