Chapter 121 Are You Going to Take That Away from Her? Carle said disapprovingly, “Let me handle it since it has to be tweeted anyway.” Elisa retracted her hand and said with a smile, “I never do things about which I'm not confident.” Sheena lowered her head with lips pressed together. Although Carle did express his worry for her just now, but it was nothing but a platonic concern.
Yet, he decided to shoulder the risk when he learned that Elisa was going to post it on Twitter. He did that because he didn’t want Elisa to be targeted by the Helm family.
Sheena felt disappointed, but she didn’t doubt his initial reaction. After all, Carle had feelings for Elisa...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA brief stalemate transpired between Elisa and Carle. He objected again, “Yet marrying him is the least sure thing you attempt.” Elisa batted her impossibly long eyelashes and forced a chuckle, as if trying to mask her uneasiness, “I can handle it this time.
Don't worry. It won't happen again.” Sheena scowled, “Forget about posting it on Twitter, Elisa. It doesn't really matter since we have the upper hand now.” Elisa beamed a smile, “Don’t worry.” As she said that, she had already logged in to Twitter. Carle knitted his brows together. Sheena was around and she refrained from commenting too much. Carle was powerless as Elisa posted the photo along with caption.
“Done!” Elisa put down her phone. The atmosphere was rather awkward.
Rachel intervened with an attempt to ease the awkwardness in the air, “Hey, come on. Forget about it. We did it no matter what! Let's toast to us!” Elisa smiled and picked up the goblet. Sheena quickly followed suit and held up her goblet although she felt a tinge of awkwardness.
Carle let out a deep sigh as he took his goblet. At this time, Rachel's phone rang when they were celebrating their first toast.
Rachel's eyes crinkled and gritted her teeth as she saw the caller ID.
Sheena pried curiously, “What's wrong?” “Nothing. It's just a pest!!” Rachel got grumpy. After thinking twice, she decided to answer the call although she was reluctant.
After all, he had brought her to court with him last time.

“D*mn you! How dare you speak rudely to me!” Vincent got riled up by Rachel's audacity.
Rachel sneered, “Do you think | have no idea what is up your sleeve? What is it that you want this time? | won't give it to you no matter what!” Vincent was at a loss for words.
This f*cking woman! He minced his words lest he says something that would give away his motive. He said pretentiously, “I have told you | have stopped competing with you. We are grown-ups and are related to her. In fact, you should call me brother.” “Piss off! | do not have a brother like you.” Rachel didn't bother to hide her contempt towards Vincent.
The other three people were speechless sitting at the table.
Vincent coaxed, “Hey! Are you free tonight? Let's go, I'll take you to the club for a spin!” “Yo! What's up, Mr. Shane? Do you think I'm so naive and gullible? I'm currently busy hanging out with my homies. So, f*ck off!” After speaking, Rachel hung up the phone and looked even grumpier than before the phone call.
She tossed the phone on the table and chided, “What a hoodoo!” Seeing that the three of them were staring at her, Rachel picked up her goblet and cheered, “Come on! Let's drink!” Meanwhile, at the Royalis Court.
Vincent put down the phone forlornly. With a fed-up look, he said, “This woman is really too much!” Jeremy teased with a smirk, “Are you able to handle her?” “Sure! But I've never seen such a stubborn woman like her!” Gareth glanced at him, “Auntie didn't leave you anything because it was her conviction for Rachel. Are you sure you want to take that away from her?” Previous Chapter Next Chapter
