Liam’s body stiffened. With a frown, he stared at the woman who he was supporting. “You’re not Veronica!”
“I… I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Tiffany.” Tiffany took a step back, lowered her head, and brushed off the dust on her skirt with her slender fingers. However, due to the angle of her posture, it perfectly highlighted her exquisite figure.
She looked almost identical to Veronica, hence she was naturally a beauty. However, compared to Veronica, who had a cold and elegant beauty, Tiffany had shed her former gentleness and become more delicate and charming, exuding a variety of charm that was even more captivating.
“Tiffany Larson?” Liam’s mind quickly spun as he suddenly remember Tiffany’s identity. The sense of unfamiliarity he felt disappeared instantly, replaced by a polite and gentlemanly attitude. Due to his inherent unruliness, it seemed forced.
“Do… Do you know me, sir?” Tiffany was slightly surprised, which prompted her to raise her thin and curved eyebrows. “H- just arrived here. How did you come to know about me?”
“Hahaha. It’s actually a coincidence. A friend of mine knows your sister, and I heard from her that she has a sister. It is fate that brought us here together today.”
Liam’s unfriendly gaze scanned Tiffany up and down as if the words “playboy” were etched on his face. Perhaps he was afraid that others wouldn’t know what kind of person he was. “Really? That sounds like fate indeed. I didn’t expect to meet my sister’s friend in the hidden clan.”
Since Liam could speak English, Tiffany also used English to communicate with him without barriers. In fact, if they were to define it by age, Veronica would be Tiffany’s older sister, not younger. However, this matter was rarely known, so no one would bring it up naturally.
“Hahaha, of course. Have you had dinner yet, Miss Larson? If you don’t mind, let me treat you to dinner as an apology for accidentally bumping into you just now.”
“W-Wouldn’t it be inappropriate?” “Why would you say that? A friend’s sister is also a friend. We are on the same side. Come on, let me take you to a sushi place.”
Liam didn’t give Tiffany a chance to refuse and took her to a nearby sushi restaurant. That night, the two exchanged contact information, and he tried to invite her several times but was rejected.
She was trying… to play hard to get. If she was an easy catch, Liam probably wouldn’t care too much about her. Playing hard to get was the best strategy. Her mother had told her that.
Halfway up the mountain, Veronica and Matthew returned to the attic together. After Matthew greeted Crayson, he went back to his own room. Veronica carried her bags and walked upstairs but was stopped by Crayson. “Come here,” Crayson said.
“What’s wrong?” “Did you buy a phone?” Crayson’s gaze was fixed on the handbag in Veronica’s hand, his expression dissatisfied.
“Is there a problem? We’re already in the modern age, and I’m not used to not having a phone. Besides, having a phone is convenient for my studies.”
She explained calmly to Crayson, then turned around and went upstairs. When she reached the corner of the stairs, she stopped and looked back at him. “I came to the hidden clan not to be imprisoned. You should know my personality. The more strict you are, the more rebellious I become.”
It was a warning to Crayson. She had just bought a phone at the market, yet Crayson was already displeased.
