Chapter 1345


    Eunice caught that fleeting expression and, with a mischievous gleam in her eye, she couldn''t resist


    teasing.


    "Today''s your birthday, so consider this juicy bit my generous gift to you."


    Arlen chuckled, ying along with her game. “Whoever you''re talking about, I don''t know this guy, and


    whatever they''re up to, it''s no concern of mine"


    Just as Arlen was about to head upstairs, Eunice''sughter stopped him in his tracks. "Oh, but it is


    relevant."


    Arlen paused, curious despite himself.


    "This matter involves someone from the Griffith n. As the family elder, don''t you want to know what


    they''ve been up to?"


    Arlen pondered for a moment before relenting. ‘Alright, lead the way upstairs."


    "No, I choose the ce,’ Eunice countered with a sly smile, her red lips curving into a charming grin.


    "Please, follow me, Arlen."


    Arlen cast a meaningful nce at his younger brother and sister-inw before stepping out to follow


    Eunice.


    As Eunice passed by Arabe, she shot her a conspiratorial wink. Arabe quickly took the hint,


    slipping upstairs to discreetly relocate the two bodyguards elsewhere.


    In the garden.


    Eunice, now apanied by Calvin and Bess, maintained her smile. "This is for Arlen’s ears only."


    "By seniority, we''re your elders. If Arlen is privy to this info, why aren''t we?" Bess asked, clearly


    annoyed.


    "Yes, you''re not.’ Eunice''s smile never wavered as she emphasized each word. "Given your usual


    unreasonable behavior, I have no desire to share with you"


    Bess was livid, insulted by Eunice’sck of respect, and stormed off.


    Calvin, with a scowl, followed suit.


    “So, what''s the big secret?" Arlen asked, intrigued by what Eunice was up to. Eunice had a way of


    stirring trouble that could easily drive a wedge between him and the younger members of the family.


    From a distance, Bess could see Eunice''s red lips moving animatedly, her eyes darting in their direction


    now and then, as if she were speaking ill of them.


    “What''s that vixen on about? Why does she keep looking over here?" Bess muttered irritably.


    Calvin, observing Eunice, let out a coldugh. "If she really knew something substantial, why would she


    bother telling the runt?"


    “That''s true.’ Bess had a moment of rity, then considered another possibility. “What if she only knows


    part of the story and not the whole truth?"


    “Possibly"


    After Eunice finished speaking, she pulled out something that resembled a USB drive from her pocket


    and slipped it into Arlen''s jacket.


    Her grace and poise in every gesture, every expression, left Bess seething with envy.


    It all seemed like an act of flirtation!


    Arlen, having waded through a sea of nonsense, finally seized upon something worthwhile — the


    secret was on that drive.


    As Arlen considered heading upstairs to uncover this so-called secret, Eunice called out, “Arlen."


    He turned, realizing she wasn''t done, and with a sigh, asked, “What now?"


    "I forgot to give you the password," Eunice said with a yful smile. "There''s an encrypted file. Come


    closer. I''ll tell only you."


    As Arlen leaned in, she whispered, "123456." He nodded, "Got it."

    "You''ll remember?" she teased.


    “Who could forget such a simple password? I''m not senile yet.” Arlen retorted with a grin, then made


    his way upstairs.


    Bess shot Eunice a disgruntled look before trailing after Arlen.


    Calvin followed, his curiosity piqued.
