Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1360 - Chapter 1360 Chapter 1332 Something Seems Strange

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1332: Something Seems Strange Chapter 1360: Chapter 1332: Something Seems Strange Kiara’s straightforward question left Arlong struggling to save face while Mario Yuno raised an eyebrow.

Right, starting with the King Bomb, this was indeed in line with the persona of his sister-in-law, the ultimate elder sister, no, the domineering Female Boss.

“Sis! Don’t scare her off!” Arlong spoke up for the girl he admired.

“I’m asking her, why are you nervous? Do I look like someone who eats people? Miss Flora, don’t feel pressured, just tell me straightforwardly.”

“Sister, you can just call me Shella.” Flora Jim wasn’t angry; instead, she smiled at Arlong and said, “Arlong, don’t talk to your sister like that, she’s just worried about you.”

Then she stood up and poured tea for Kiara.

“Just calm down, sister. Arlong is just hot-headed, he doesn’t understand you’re concerned about him.”

Kiara reflexively exchanged a glance with Mario Yuno, seeing the same bafflement in his eyes.

Was it love that blinded people, or was it just that Flora Jim was particularly inarticulate in front of Arlong?

Both Kiara and Mario Yuno were seasoned at reading people, having their own set of experiences in judging others, and from just one meeting, they felt that Flora Jim was perhaps not a simple character. Yet, Kiara still suppressed her doubts.

She didn’t have a prejudice against eloquent girls. Everyone had different personalities, and if her brother found a daughter-in-law who was articulate and sociable, she thought that wasn’t a bad thing; it was always good for one in a couple to be astute.

But regarding Flora Jim, Kiara still remained reserved. After all, one can’t judge a person solely on the first impression; analyzing someone’s true character through their words and actions needed time.

“Sister, now I’ll answer your question about what I see in Arlong. Arlong…” Flora Jim glanced at Arlong and exchanged a meaningful look with him, and the way she looked at Arlong seemed like she truly did like him.

“Arlong is a particularly good man; maybe to you, he’s just a big kid, but in my heart, he’s exceptionally good, sincere, and kindhearted.”

“There are plenty of such young men at his workplace, nine and a half out of ten have kind hearts. What makes you single him out?”

Kiara wasn’t nitpicking; she was stating facts.

The last thing society was short on was passionate youths; they were everywhere.

“Look at what you’re saying. Don’t you understand your own brother? No matter how good others are, they’re not him. They all look the same in the eyes of strangers, but in my heart, he has his merits. Just our meeting alone, I feel, was an opportunity given by fate. He first saved my younger sister and then saved me; I found him particularly handsome.”

Arlong blushed with embarrassment at the compliment, awkwardly scratching his head.

“That was my duty to do, actually, I’m not that great.”

Kiara had already heard about their meeting from Arlong.

It was indeed a coincidence.

Didn’t Arlong injure his leg while saving a child not too long ago, having to recover at home? That child he saved was Flora Jim’s younger sister.

At that time, Flora Jim really wanted to find the benefactor who saved her sister, but Arlong did good deeds without leaving a name, and she couldn’t find him, so the matter was left unresolved.

Lately, during Arlong’s day off, he went out to eat with colleagues. After everyone else went home, Arlong thought of a duck neck stall at the Night Market that was very tasty, so he decided to walk there on his own. Taking a shortcut instead of the main road, he unexpectedly encountered two thugs bullying a girl. He stepped in and chased them away, and seeing that the girl seemed frightened, he didn’t bother buying duck necks and instead acted as her escort home.

When they arrived downstairs at the girl’s home, her younger sister also came out looking for her. Upon seeing him, she recognized him–wasn’t this their benefactor from before?

So Arlong was forcibly brought back to their home by the two sisters and couldn’t refuse their heartfelt thanks. The girl insisted on getting Arlong’s contact details, and from one thing to another, they grew familiar with each other.

Such a beautiful girl could easily captivate any man, and Arlong, being young and early in the throes of first love, fell for her after a few exchanges of letters. Coincidentally, a month before the girl’s birthday, they met to have dinner, and during the meal, she made it clear that she liked Arlong and wanted to date him.

Arlong had the same idea and immediately agreed.

The girl was Shella Arumi, and after being together for a month, although Arlong was busy with his career and had only gone on a date once, their relationship significantly deepened through phone calls and messaging. Arlong felt every day as if he was living in a blissful, pink haze, utterly smitten with his beautiful girlfriend.

But, the Kid remembered who his boss was, and he didn’t dare keep it a secret from Kiara. Besides, his Brother-in-law was his Big Boss, and he could deceive Edward Wheeler for a moment, but not for a lifetime. Better to be upfront and clear about it.

The story went like this–it sounded like a classic tale of a Hero saving a Beautiful Lady and winning her heart, nothing too out of the ordinary, and it all made sense logically.

But Kiara still felt something was off, even though the girl came across as articulate and reasonable, humble yet assertive, the textbook definition of public relations excellence. It was impossible to find fault in her words.

Yet it was this very “flawlessness” that Kiara found the most peculiar.

Kiara asked Flora Jim a few questions, all of which were answered perfectly, textbook-level conversations for meeting the family. It not only conveyed her feelings and appreciation for Arlong but also kept sending signals of goodwill to Kiara. It was obvious she genuinely liked Arlong.

After chatting with Flora Jim for a while, Flora said she needed to go to the restroom, and Arlong eagerly followed her out, leaving Edward Wheeler and his wife alone in the private room.

“What do you find strange about it?” Kiara asked Edward Wheeler.

“The girl is really articulate. If she told me she was 20, I wouldn’t believe her, but I’d believe she was 40,” Edward Wheeler half-jokingly said.

Kiara nodded, sharing the sentiment.

According to Arlong, the girl lost her mother at a young age, and her father disappeared without a trace, leaving her to be cared for by relatives. She managed to attend a college, graduating and finding a good clerical job at a major company. Kiara believed that tough life experiences could foster maturity, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was strange.

“How should I put it, the savvy Secretaries of elder Brother can indeed reach this level, but aren’t all those people over 30? For someone just entering Society to possess such boldness and eloquence, her story might not be as simple as she claims.”

“I’ll look into it later. Of course, you don’t have to overreact. Perhaps she’s just gained an early insight into life’s hardships, and that’s why she’s so worldly-wise,” said Edward Wheeler, seeing Arlong’s fervor and not wanting to think ill of the situation, he tried to console Kiara.

Kiara nodded, “I know my career can make me suspicious of everyone… Sigh, but you’ve also seen the state Our Home’s silly Kid is in, and it doesn’t look good.”

Arlong was clearly completely in love, seeing nothing but Flora Jim. As his sister, Kiara couldn’t help but worry about him, but what both Kiara and Edward Wheeler didn’t expect was that an even more concerning matter was about to occur.
