    Chapter 157


    She didn’t immediately check her phone, but stood up and said to the other party’s manager, “Good


    luck with our future cooperation.”


    “Ms Bet, you’re a straightforward person, I have faith that our partnership will go smoothly.”


    The other party’s manager seemed very pleased with her, smiling as he said, “As long as the goods


    are delivered on time and there is no problem with the quality, we will continue to cooperate”


    “I understand” Arabe smiled, “We always aim for the best, you have nothing to worry about.


    The other party’s manager left with a smile.


    Arabe watched him leave, then checked her phone. She noticed that Romeo had called her twice.


    She dialed him back, “What’s up?”


    “Are you busy?”


    “Yeah, just had a meeting with a potential partner.”


    “I’d like to be your partner too “Romeo said tenderly, “This way, I could see you more often.”

    Arabe chuckled, “Aren’t we seeing each other often enough?”


    “Not enough.” Romeo replied firmly, “I want to be with you every second of every minute.”


    Arabe was walking down the street, “Alright, I’m about to hail a cab. We can talk when I get home,


    okay?”


    “You’re out alone?” Roméo thought she had an assistant with her, “I’lle pick you up. Where are


    you?”


    “It’s fine, I’m close to the office. I’ll just grab a cab.”


    “I want to pick you up.”


    Romeo had already left his office. Carl saw him rushing out and thought something had happened!


    Arabe, feeling helpless, sent him her location and then waited at the side of the street.

    Aside from the coffee shop she had just left, the other shops on the street were all empty. Behind her


    was a piece ofnd overgrown with weeds, giving off a deserted vibe.


    She pulled out her phone to handle some personal matters. Not long after, three cars pulled up.


    She looked up and saw Myra, whom she had given a beating; getting out of the car with her brother


    Harry and a dozen henchmen.


    “It’s her!”


    Myra was originally going to settle scores with Molly and Iris, but she didn’t expect to see Arabe on


    the way.


    “She pped me first, and even kicked me!” Myrained to her brother.


    The wind blew Arabe’s long hair, her fresh face left Harry dumbstruck. She was stunning!!


    “Harry, stop zoning out! Get revenge for me!” Myra’s swollen face barely covered by one hand, she


    nudged Harry.


    Harry had seen many pretty girls, but Arabe’s beauty was a first.


    He walked up to Arabe and asked, “Did you hit my sister?”


    Arabe raised an eyebrow, seemingly unbothered by them.


    These dozen or so thugs, plus Harry who was still a kid, were they underestimating her?

    “If you know your mistake, kneel down and kowtow to me ten times.” Myra, emboldened by her


    brother’s support, arrogantly said to Arabe.


    Arabe looked at her arrogant demeanor, and coldly said, “Who do you think you are?”


    Myra was so angry she couldn’t find words to retort, her face twisted with rage.


    “What a sharp–tougued girl.Harry seemed interested, “You don’t have to kneel if you don’t want to. Just


    keep mepany, make me happy, and we’ll let bygones be bygones.”


    “Harry, what are you saying? I told you to teach her a lesson!” Myra didn’t want to let this go so easily.


    She hadn’t had a chance to properly teach Arabe a lesson.


    Arabe raised her eyebrow at Harry, “Here? I don’t think so.”


    She knew there were a few surveince cameras around that could provide evidence.


    “If you’re shy, we can go there.“ Harry seemed to think she had agreed, pointing to the weed–filled field


    behind árabe.


    “Alright.” Arabe walked towards the field, Harry followed, and the dozen or so henchmen looked at


    Myra, unsure whether to follow.


    Myra was full of questions.


    This girl was known to be good at fighting, why did she give in so easily? Did she know that these


    thugs were tough, or was she trying to lure her brother? Did she think her beauty could get her into the


    Cooper family?!


    Ha, what a pipe dream!


    Arabe walked into the field, the grass reaching up to her knees. She turned to Harry and said, “This


    is fine.”


    Harry hadn’t expected this woman to choose a location. This spot was perfect to block the view of


    others. She really was shy.


    “Just you?” Arabe raised an eyebrow, looking at the dozen or so henchmen behind him, “Aren’t the


    others joining?”


    How could he possibly let his underlings enjoy such a beautiful girl?


    Just as Harry was about toy a hand on Arabe, she quickly caught his hand and before he could


    react, he was thrown into the bushes, getting a mouthful of


    dirt!


    “Damn it.” Myra knew she was a tough girl, “What are you guys waiting for? Go and help!”


    This girl was really annoying, daring toy a hand on her precious brother? Harry was the family’s


    treasure!


    The dozen or so thugs rushed at Arabe, a glint of coldness shed in her eyes She kicked one of the


    men flying, then swiftly punched another in the stomach.


    A stick was swung at her from the air, Arabe grabbed the man’s wrist and hit him over the head with


    his own stick, then kicked him away.


    The remaining thugs surrounded her. They attacked at once, Arabe used one of them as a human


    shield, then picked off the others one by one. A thug pulled out a knife to sh at Arabe, but she not


    only dodged swiftly, but also held the knife against his throat, scaring him witless.


    Myra watched in shock as Arabe took down each man, one after the other. Thest man was


    trembling from head to toe, hands up in surrender.


    He even knocked himself out with his own stick and copsed in the bushes.


    Arabe then turned to Myra.


    Myra was scared stiff, and now she was alone!!


    “Harry, Harry!” Myra called a few times, but her precious brother didn’t emerge from the bushes. She


    was scared, unable toprehend how there could be such a person in this world!
