Chapter 160: Chapter 158

Richard’s tone did not faze Clarissa. She knew him at least better than others. Besides, even if he were to try to scare her, she wasn’t one to readily succumb to fear. And she had something that he didn’t have. So, she didn’t believe that he would continue to act rudely as he was.

"Heh, I befriended her first. So be nice to me if you want to stick close to her!" Clarissa said without any fear as she looked at him with an, ’what can you do to me?’ look.

Upon hearing that, Richard turned his head and faced Clarissa with a hostile gaze.

"That won’t work on me, Richard. Trust me!" Clarissa didn’t tremble with fear, but actually scoffed at Richard’s antics. "And just like she said, if she doesn’t want to be found, you won’t find her. She wasn’t joking about it."

Upon hearing the second part as he intentionally ignored the first part, his brows furrowed, obviously not happy with what he had just heard.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe, if you are curious. How about you do me a favor?" Clarissa wasn’t one to let such a good opportunity slip through her fingers.

Richard knew that Clarissa had the upper hand on this one. And since he was the one desperate in the case, he decided to concede just once. In the future, he would find a way to get a payback for everything.

He wasn’t one to forget debts and favors.

"Tell me what you want. I still need to ride the car with Diamond!"

TWO HOURS LATER

Garden View Villa Complex

’I am back in this place again!’ Diamond sighed as she drove through a familiar street.

It was quite surprising that the dinner party was being held in a complex where she owns a villa, too.

When she saw that, Diamond was thrilled. She had not seen the whole complex before, since she was only concerned with where her house was.

But with the excuse of attending a dinner party, she could check the inner ring and see what kind of people lived there.

She was also curious about how huge the villas were. After all, the Garden View complex was one of the best complexes in Frin.

Sitting next to her was a leech she couldn’t get rid of, but considering how the leech was cooperative and fun to be with, Diamond decided to accept her face.

"Dear, have you ever been to this place before?" Richard asked curiously as he looked at Diamond.

Diamond didn’t turn her head to look at Richard but still answered, "Um, I own a villa in the middle ring," truthfully, without hiding anything.

"OMG! You .... Aren’t you a hidden bigshot?" Richard exclaimed once again exaggeratedly, something that Diamond was seeing a bit more lately.

As long as they were alone, Richard didn’t act like a straight man at all. It was as if he was too comfortable around her that he was slipping his real self in front of her.

Hearing him, Diamond was starting to suspect that Richard might not be as straight as she thought he was after all.

"Um, I am one. Are you in awe of me now?" Diamond asked sarcastically as she shifted her gaze to the front.

"Darling. You awed me from the second I set my eyes on you!" Richard retorted shamelessly, giving Diamond another wave of headache.

Diamond followed Clarissa’s car while ignoring the chatty Richard and shortly she was parking next to Clarissa’s.

"This is a parking spot that was made for the masters and mistresses to play. It also serves its purposes on special occasions like this!" Richard explained to Diamond, though Diamond had not asked anything yet.

Diamond looked at Richard gratefully. After all, apart from him being too chatty at times, he was quite knowledgeable.

"Thanks, dear, for the information!" after labeling Richard to be a sister of some sort, Diamond no longer felt pressurized with the endearments that he had been throwing at her ever since they got into the car together.

"It’s what I should do!" he shamelessly accepted the praise, rendering her speechless.

The two exited the car, and Richard offered his hand to Diamond. Seeing what he was up to, Diamond didn’t reject his advances and accepted him.

When Clarissa got out of the car, she was quite surprised when she saw how close those two had become in such a short time.

Since when were they so close to the extent of walking arm in arm?

She couldn’t help but wonder. However, with that provocative glace Richard was giving her when Diamond was busy looking at the other side, she knew that it was going to be a crazy night.
