Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1348 - Chapter 1348 Chapter 1320 Its All Tricks

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1320: It’s All Tricks Chapter 1348: Chapter 1320: It’s All Tricks “Mrs. Kiara, is it really okay for us to just walk away like this?” Aka kept looking back at the restaurant every few steps.

“Haven’t you learned anything from your Senior Brother Leopard Davis’s pick-up artistry? When it comes to men, you can’t be too accommodating–you can’t let them have their way too easily. It’s not good to become inseparable just after establishing a relationship.” Kiara had quite enjoyed stealing someone else’s date.

Picking up someone else’s girl and leaving them with no one to pick up.

“But didn’t you say that all that pick-up artistry was just nonsense…”

“Take the essence and discard the dregs. If used well, it’s the finishing touch to a masterpiece; if used badly, it’s playing with emotions. PUA is just a tool, neutral in itself–it only becomes bad when prefixed with the intention to deceive. Learn this!”

Aka looked up in respect; whatever Mrs. Kiara said was always right!

“It’s not that I can’t leave Zoel Cohen; I’m just worried about Wendy. Can she really be okay without you for so long?”

That was indeed a concern. Susi and Aka both turned to look at Kiara. Poor Zoel Cohen’s status kept plummeting.

No one was missing him; they were all worried about the child!

Kiara glanced at her watch, “He will call within 3 minutes to ask for Aka’s location. Traffic won’t be good at this time, so he’ll probably take around half an hour to arrive, just enough time for me to have a half-hour chat.”

Kiara was quite confident in leaving her daughter with Zoel Cohen.

Just as everyone wondered how Mrs. Kiara had calculated this, Aka’s phone rang right on cue.

Susi gave Kiara a thumbs-up. You’re awesome!

Kiara shrugged, having a husband like Camden, who had mapped every route in his brain and always found the quickest way, she had also picked up a bit of this skill by osmosis.

And this time difference was just enough for Kiara to give Ava Vincent some psychological guidance.

“Mrs. Kiara, you know about Senior Brother’s PUA too?” Aka thought she was the only one who knew about this.

“There are no secrets that can’t be revealed in this world.” Kiara smiled, curious to see whether she was more skilled or the Fox Cat was.

“As for Senior Brother, well, how to put it… he’s a bit odd. Although he’s easier to talk to than Eldest Brother and Third Senior Brother, I always feel that he’s hiding many secrets.”

Aka didn’t know about the undercurrents between Kiara and Norris Flowery Fox and just casually shared her impression of him, thinking Kiara’s session with Ava Vincent was just routine business.

“We’ve known each other for so many years, but even so, I still can’t figure Senior Brother out.”

“You’ve only known him for a few years, even I can’t see through him, and his secrets are certainly more than just ‘many’…”

Kiara spoke with a sigh; frankly, she wasn’t finished having fun at Norris Flowery Fox’s expense from the night before.

She had known Norris across two lifetimes, and even when they were so closely linked in her past life, she had not discovered that he was actually a Psychiatrist, showing just how well this man could hide.

They arrived at a Ladies’ Club chosen by Kiara. Ava Vincent was already there waiting. They exchanged pleasantries and picked a VIP room. After chatting with Ava Vincent for a bit and noticing Kiara and Ava Vincent were conversing smoothly, Susi signalled Aka with her eyes, and they both excused themselves, claiming to have other matters to attend to.

Ava Vincent hadn’t noticed anything unusual. She and Kiara each reclined in massage chairs, receiving massages from the therapists while chatting intermittently.

Kiara was skilled at getting to the heart of the matter. Each of her conversations with Ava Vincent was purposeful, and the brilliance of a Psychologist always lay in getting people to reveal much without realizing.

Aka and Susi went out, and Susi checked her watch, “It’s been 5 minutes already, according to Mrs. Kiara’s estimate, Zoel Cohen should arrive in about 25 minutes. If he comes, Wendy will definitely need to be fed. Can Mrs. Kiara finish in time?”

As far as she knew, psychological treatment had to be done in one go, uninterrupted, right?

“I don’t know about others, but if Mrs. Kiara says she can do it in half an hour, then it will be half an hour,” Aka had a mysterious confidence in Mrs. Kiara.

And Kiara didn’t let Aka down, managing to gather all the information she wanted in just a few minutes, then she gave a signal to the masseuses, and both retreated.

“Kiara, talking to you is really comforting. I feel a bit like I’ve met you too late,” Ava Vincent said after chatting with Kiara for a few minutes, feeling as if a lot of repressed stuff had been released.

“Doing what you’re good at in a field that suits your talents naturally leads to success. My career means I’m quite good at chatting. I heard from Susi that you’ve studied fashion design overseas and even won several awards?”

“Those are just trivial matters… I always feel like I can’t do anything well, especially after returning home. My design philosophy never seems to get any support, and it feels very oppressive.”

As expected.

Doubting one’s entire worth because of one aspect is a classic manifestation of low self-esteem.

A necessary step in a bad pua’s strategy to manipulate girls is to attack their self-esteem. Those like Ava who have been brainwashed often suffer from low self-esteem and low confidence.

Take Galen and Ava, for example. One is a white, rich beauty with good family and personal conditions, and the other is the Duck King who makes money through his looks. There’s a clear difference in their social status, and anyone with half a brain knows that the woman has better conditions. Normally, a man pursuing someone like Ava would be all praise.

You’re beautiful, your work capacity is great, and so on. But pua does the opposite.

They attack women, especially those with better conditions than themselves, acting in ways that are out of the ordinary. Simply put, they use words and actions to devalue the woman, making them seem not so cheap by comparison.

“Is the auction fun?” Kiara steered away from Ava’s comments and suddenly changed the subject.

“Ah? Oh, it’s okay…” Ava hadn’t quite caught up with the change of topic as she followed Kiara’s lead.

“Have you ever seen someone at an auction who, despite clearly not being able to afford an item, insists on saying it’s bad, trying to deflate the value of the item? Have you seen such a person?”

“I think I have…” Upon reflection, Ava realized she had indeed seen many such people, and an unusual feeling gripped her heart.

“If such tactics were applied to a man-woman relationship, do you know what would happen? He would deliberately strike at you, lower your self-esteem. Everyone else is praising you, and he alone disparages you. This technique can make a girl become the one with low self-esteem, and over time she loses confidence in everything.”

Galen’s face immediately rose in Ava’s mind, bringing a dull pain.

“Maybe, maybe he didn’t do it on purpose? Perhaps he’s just not good with words?”

“What kind of coincidence would that be? Such people have strategies. Every step you think is natural is actually part of his calculation. Like after breaking your confidence, making a healthy and normal person turn into someone with low self-esteem, then the next step is to cut off all your male friends and even female friends, turning your world into one where only he exists, and then occasionally throwing some small favors your way…”

The more Kiara spoke, the paler Ava’s face became.

There were some things she herself didn’t want to admit, but as Kiara detailed each step, she began to doubt her life.

Keep in mind, she hadn’t spoken of these things to anyone, not even her family knew. How could her sister-in-law’s friend possibly know so much?

“Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Psychologist Emma Clark. Would you like to hear me explain what a pua strategy is?”
