Chapter 1330: Chapter 1302 Pushing People Out Relentlessly Chapter 1330: Chapter 1302 Pushing People Out Relentlessly Just from brief interactions, Mrs. Kiara had already analyzed the basic situation between Galen and Ava Vincent.
This completely stunned Susi.
Looking at Ava Vincent again, she felt the child had already walked into the lion's den.
But as soon as Susi saw Kiara's determined and composed face, she let out a sigh of relief.
Whenever Kiara showed that expression, no one could escape her grasp.
Susi's gaze unintentionally swept to Zoel Cohen, who was sitting only two seats away from her. At this moment, Zoel was radiating an icy aura, coldly looking at Aka and Norris, as if he wanted to hang a sign on his back with large letters spelling out “I'm really pissed off right now.”
“Right, didn't Zoel Cohen change girlfriends frequently too? Do you think he's mastered pua techniques?” Susi, after having Kiara shed some light on the matter, immediately thought of the so-called 'Hundred Slayer' Mr. Zoel.
“Him? No, no, no, if he had the skills of a pua, he wouldn't be so frustrated now, let alone needing my wingman assistance!” Kiara thought of her friend's current frustration and couldn't help laughing.
At that moment, Norris happened to look back and saw Kiara's smile. He too curved his lips in response.
Emma Clark, how many different faces does she have? Why is she so different from the Emma Clark in the information he had?
Just then, Susi was feeling uneasy and excused herself to go to the restroom. Seeing her stand up, Norris also got up.
“Senior Brother, where are you going…” Aka lay feebly on the table, unable to hear the Host shouting something on stage, feeling dizzy from the heat in her head.
“Nothing major, just stepping out for a bit. Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to bid for your birthday gift, as Uncle had instructed,” Norris touched Aka's forehead, finding it very hot.
“Did you take medicine?”
“Mmm, I did, but it doesn't seem very effective…”
This exchange between the two, seen through Zoel's eyes, was exceptionally irritating. From his angle, he saw Aka's cheeks slightly flushed, then that annoying man with a face full of indulgence, much like an interaction between lovers.
Once Norris had left, Zoel couldn't hold back the primal force in his heart and directly sat down next to Aka.
“I want to talk to you.”
“I don't want to talk to you… If you feel guilty, you can send the medical check-up money to my card.”
“I'm not into men, and I'm not sick!” Zoel tried to explain.
Aka's head hurt too much to talk to him. Zoel had hit a soft spot, yet was not willing to give up. Seeing that Aka was ignoring him, Mr. Zoel became increasingly agitated and couldn't help but think about the unflattering things Kiara had said about him in the car.
The wicked witch Emma Clark had mocked him, and Mr. Zoel felt that if he didn't win over Aka, wouldn't that just confirm he had lower EQ than the Youngest Brother of Yuno Family!
Simultaneously, while Mr. Zoel was sneakily planning his next move, he accidentally caught Kiara's gaze not too far away.
Kiara made a gesture of touching her forehead, hinting at him to notice Aka's discomfort. Mr. Zoel grandly misinterpreted this as Mrs. Kiara thinking he was beyond help.
What infuriated Mr. Zoel even more, was that the little one in Kiara's arms, following her mother's lead, also made an effort to gesture in his direction.
So Mr. Zoel made a 'shut up' motion toward Kiara.
Kiara extended her hand, giving a big thumbs up, making a 'great job' gesture.
Mr. Zoel proudly thought, ah, that's more like a friend…
Before his pride settled in, Mr. Zoel saw Kiara turn her thumbs down, 'great job' turned into a 'you suck'.
Couldn't he see that Aka was not feeling well, wouldn't he seize the opportunity to show some care? Not only was he oblivious to the situation, but he dared to turn on his ally, if this wasn't stupidity, what was?
No wonder Wendy was born smart, a child her age shouldn't have such imitating skills, but she had learned just from watching her mother do it once.
Zoel's inner turmoil was immeasurable, he felt he was despised by a child who was still nursing!
“Compared to Mr. Cohen, I believe this is my seat,” Norris returned, smiling faintly at Zoel.
Zoel Cohen snorted, “Now it's yours, but who knows whose it will be in the future.”
Having said that, he gave Aka a deep look, “After the meeting, I'll wait for you at the door.”
“Not everyone's wait is met with the flowers in bloom,” Norris Flowery Fox answered for Aka.
Zoel Cohen arrogantly lifted his head, “You sure talk a lot.”
“Mr. Zoel Cohen, Mr. Zoel, could you not block my view? The collectible I want is coming up soon.”
Aka's complaint made Zoel Cohen purse the corners of his mouth, turning to leave with an air of nonchalance fitting of even a defeated rooster.
“I really don't understand him, one moment he's cold, the next he's hot. Yesterday he said he wouldn't fancy me even if all the women in the world were dead, and now he's here annoying me again. Why are you men so complicated?” Aka waited until Zoel Cohen had left before she complained.
Norris Flowery Fox smiled, his gaze lingering for a few seconds on Zoel Cohen's retreating figure, then glanced at Susi who had just returned and was walking to her seat, and finally his eyes settled on Emma Clark, deepening his smile.
After a tie in their last encounter, he was looking forward to seeing what these two would achieve this time.
“Susi, what's wrong?” Kiara noticed Susi rubbing her temples as if she was uncomfortable after returning.
“Don't know, maybe I'm catching a cold. My mind feels blank, not very comfortable.”
Susi always felt as if she had just gone through something, but couldn't put her finger on it. She turned to look in Norris Flowery Fox's direction, and when he smiled faintly at her, she felt a shiver down her spine and quickly turned her head away.
“Kiara, why is your Senior Brother… so strange?”
“Norris Flowery Fox?”
“Yes, I always feel quite scared of him. I just met him outside the restroom, and I've felt uncomfortable ever since. His gaze reminds me… of a leopard on the African grassland, full of aggression yet every move he makes is filled with grace. In short, very dangerous.”
“He can hypnotize, and he's much better at it than I am. You should stay away from him. Don't let him hypnotize you and extract your home safe's password,” Kiara joked.
Susi shuddered, “There's someone better than you in this world?”
“There's always a higher mountain. Among my mentors, I'm considered a dilettante at best. When it comes to practical skills, I can only really beat Aka.”
Kiara's conversation with Susi didn't escape a single detail from Norris Flowery Fox's eyes; he couldn't hear, but he could see.
“No, you are not a dilettante.”
“Huh? Senior Brother, what did you say?” Aka looked up, seeming to have heard her Senior Brother talking to himself.
“Nothing, the item you like is up.” Norris Flowery Fox multitasked, as a Patek Philippe antique women's pendant watch was being auctioned on the stage, with a starting bid of 100,000. Norris Flowery Fox raised his paddle.
“200,000!”
As soon as Norris Flowery Fox raised his paddle, Zoel Cohen followed without a second thought.
“400,000!”
The initial bidding doubled causing a stir in the crowd, as they turned their attention to Zoel Cohen and Norris Flowery Fox.
“Senior Brother, that's over our budget. Let's leave it,” said Aka, shaking her head at Norris Flowery Fox as she heard Zoel Cohen raise the bid so high.
“600,000!” Norris Flowery Fox continued to raise his paddle as though he hadn't heard her.
“1,200,000!”
Zoel Cohen's eyes were practically spitting fire, “Damn it, stealing my girl? I'll crush you!”
Kiara watched the scene unfold and sighed.
“Utterly foolish. Completely and utterly foolish.”
He couldn't sense that the girl was unwell, yet he had to use such an annoying method to assert his presence. He was truly pushing people away.
