Chapter 1070 A Perfect Match
Rylantha retrieved the deleted pictures from the cloud after arriving home, sent them to Owen, then gave him a call. "You see that? Griffith's dying. Happy now? How do you plan on threatening me to do your dirty work next?"
"Kill him," said Owen gravely, and Rylantha turned grim at once. However, before the young woman could come to herself, Owen chuckled. "Relax. I'm just kidding. I know you can't do that."
"Not funny!" Rylantha hung up at once, feeling like she had been toyed with.
Moments later, a message from Owen came in. 'Relax, this is the last time. You will receive a handsome reward after I take over Smith Co.'
The message calmed Rylantha's anger. If Owen can defeat Alexander, and Ariel is without the Griffiths' support, then I might be able to come to my own. But if Owen's plan goes down, I'll be dragged into it as well. Still, I should expect the worst.
Sure, that was the idea, but Rylantha was more inclined to believe the former. She read the message in seventh heaven, looking as though she had already crushed Ariel beneath her feet.
Suddenly, her hands and ears felt itchy, probably due to her overexcitement. After giving them a casual scratch, she put the phone down and headed into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, she came out in a bathrobe and a glass of red wine.
Rylantha checked herself out in the mirror after taking a couple of sips of the red wine, and an indescribable joy rose within her as she appreciated her beauty in front of the mirror. "Such a beautiful face; even I can't help but fall in love with it. However, why does every man apart from Maverick, that wuss, stay away from me like I'm some curse?! Is my body not to die for?"
While mumbling, the itchiness returned. It wasn't intense, but she felt inexplicably warm under the bathrobe.
Then, she casually placed the wine glass on the shelf and mumbled to herself while untying the bathrobe strap. After that, she pulled the robe back and fixed her gaze on her perfect curves, admiring them. She didn't even realize the robe had slipped to the floor.
Moments later, she suddenly tiptoed and danced around the room like a ballerina in her birthday suit.
She was so comfortable doing it that it was clear this wasn't her first rodeo. However, what she didn't know was unlike any other time, her 'recital' was being broadcast live on the internet as someone had gained access to her computer's camera.
Just like that, over a hundred thousand viewers flooded the channel in mere minutes. Though the internet police banned the account quickly, the content aired had been screen recorded and reposted online.
Some managed to identify Rylantha, and for a while, the topic 'Live stream clip of Camren Abbott's daughter' went viral and hit the number one spot on the trending page.
While the young woman was oblivious, her secretary was freaking out. Worse, the latter couldn't reach Rylantha at all, no matter how many phone calls she made.
Finally, the episode came to a close when Maverick barged in twenty minutes later. Rylantha's first reaction upon seeing him was to frown in despise before she put her bathrobe back on unhurriedly.
Meanwhile, Maverick scanned the room with furrowed brows. His gaze landed on the laptop, where the standby button was flashing. At that, he ran to it and closed it with a thunderous smack.
"Are you nuts, Maverick? What the heck are you doing here?!" Rylantha hit the roof. No one knew if she was startled by the thunderous smack or if she just didn't want to see Maverick.
As grim as Maverick was, he patiently pulled out his phone, searched for the clip, then chucked the phone to her. "Take a look at it yourself. Whatever you were doing earlier had been secretly taped and released online!"
Stupefied, Rylantha checked the phone, and just as Maverick said, nearly everyone was talking about the live stream on Mesdra's largest social media.
'Mr. Abbott's daughter sure has a fine body!'
'My, what a lady. That ballet sure got this tent erected very quickly! I just finished. What about you guys?'
'Man, that was a good one!'
'It's alright. I mean, it's free, so I have nothing to complain about.'
While some commented on her body, others escalated it to a racial issue.
'Cittadelians sure are sl*ts!'
"What's wrong? Down with a cold?" Danny asked casually, then spat the water in his mouth in shock. Pfft!
He took a couple of glances at his phone with widened eyes, shoved it into his arms like he just saw a ghost, then closed his eyes and mumbled, "Father, Jesus, Mother Mary, goodness me. I didn't mean to see it. Oh, Father Lord, please don't turn me blind…"
"What are you mumbling about? What did you see?" Ariel asked. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Ry—" Danny paused abruptly, then ultimately shoved his phone into her hands. "See for yourself."
Ariel's emotions turned somewhat complicated after scrolling for a while. Sure, she and Rylantha didn't get along, but they were both women. Seeing that someone had secretly taped her and put the clip online, she still felt bad for Rylantha.
"Man, you can't judge a book by its cover. Rylantha's usually pretty prim and proper, but to think she's actually so liberal. Well, now she and Maverick are a perfect match."
Since Danny had a bitter resentment toward Rylantha, he thought the young woman deserved the humiliation.
Meanwhile, Irvin glanced at the couple, then turned back to his laptop the next second. "It's called having a taste of your own medicine. She should've known it would eventually happen to her when she snapped pictures of others in secret."
Danny looked toward the boy at that. He remembered Johnny telling him how Irvin had caught Rylantha in the act. Believing the two incidents were connected, he decided to verify it with Irvin, but Narissa came stomping in just then.
The second she entered, she reported gravely, "Everyone, Stenson Hellen has yielded to my fists! He admitted that Owen was the one who took El away. I doubt he'd dare lie to me, so our next search target will be on Triune."
At that, Danny and Ariel exchanged a glance. It was already old news to them, and Alexander was already on his way to rescue Elise. However, since Alexander instructed that no one tell Jamie or Narissa the truth, Danny and Ariel couldn't say anything explicitly.
"Don't worry, Narissa. It doesn't matter if the Hellens or Triune took Elise away, for we'll make sure she returns safely." At that, Danny changed the subject. "However, there's an even more pressing issue at hand. We might have a mole among us!"
