Chapter 741 No Modesty at All!
Elise smiled brightly and wrapped her arms around Alexander’s shoulders. With her body pressed
against his, she purred, “It smells like jealousy, just like how you are right now, Mr. Griffith.”
Hearing that, Alexander smirked and leaned forward to kiss her on the lips.
On the opposite side of the road, Danny pointed at them and nagged at Ariel, “Do you see that? That’s
a match made in heaven. They’re very much in love. You won’t have a chance!”
At that, Ariel crossed her arms and scoffed, “Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘if there’s a will, there’s a
way’?”
“Bah! That’s bulls*hit!” Danny cursed angrily. “Elise and my brother are officially married. Their marriage
is protected by the law. They love each other and you will never win her over!”
“What if I am willful?” Ariel smiled, deliberately provoking him.
Danny gasped at her challenge and inched closer toward her. Their faces were almost touching when
he warned her, “If you dare to, I won’t let you off easily.”
His warm breath blew on her face. Ariel stared at him in the eyes and swallowed unconsciously as her
cheeks burned.
Danny noticed her change and regained his composure. He looked at her flushed cheeks and asked,
“Why is your face so red?”
Suddenly, Ariel came back to her senses and pushed him away. Turning around, she mumbled an
excuse. “I became shy thinking about Miss Sinclair!”
“That’s absurd!” Danny stomped his feet. “I told you, you can’t do that. Why are you so stubborn?”
At that, Ariel took a few deep breaths. When she was finally calm, she turned around and smiled
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsweetly. “I don’t care. Call the cops on me if you want.”
Done with the conversation, she walked to the curb. After getting into a taxi, she left.
Meanwhile, Danny was furious since that woman was so opinionated.
Recalling what she said, he reckoned that Ariel liked Elise. If she did manage to win over Elise, chaos
would ensue in the Griffith Residence.
Danny nodded, satisfied with his analysis.
The only thing he could do now was to think fast and stop Ariel!
…
The barbecue grill had been set up in the garden with lots of food placed on the dining table next to it at
the Griffith Residence.
The four Griffith brothers gathered around the barbecue, and they were grilling different things.
Not far away, Madeline and Yuri sat side by side while Elise sat alone under the parasol. There was an
empty table too.
Soon, the smell of barbecue spread through the whole residence.
Danny stayed by the barbecue grill, happily eating and grilling the food.
Seeing that, Alexander shook his head in disapproval. He had to save some food from the next round
and bring it to Elise before Danny devoured them all.
On the other hand, Jack secretly passed some food to Winona when the cameraman was not looking.
Brendan then took a couple of chicken wings and walked toward Madeline and Yuri.
Just when he was about to call out to them, the crew suddenly announced loudly, “Our special guest
has arrived!”
In the next second, they saw a girl with a sweet smile walking in through the side door and greeting
everyone.
She was wearing a sky-blue dress with white heels that looked like clouds, while she carried a few
branded gift bags. She looked like a fairy with her long, luscious hair let down and her mixed-race
features.
However, everyone was surprised when she spoke. “Hi everyone, I’m Tara Lambert. It is nice to meet
you all. I’ve prepared some gifts for everyone.”
She had a blood-curdling childlike voice.
After that, Tara handed out the gifts carefully and politely.
When she was giving out the gifts, Danny went up and accepted the gift while welcoming her to the
barbecue. “Welcome! Come and try the barbecue we made; it’s amazing.”
“Really?” she asked.
Hearing that, she grabbed one of the chicken wings from Brendan’s hands. Her face was full of
anticipation when she took a bite. Surprised by the taste, she agreed, “You’re right. It’s really good! Mr.
Brendan, you’re so good at cooking.”
“Thanks,” Brendan answered dryly.
Initially, Madeline thought that Tara had good manners but after watching what happened, she was
unhappy.
The chicken wing Brendan was grilling was meant for Yuri, but Tara helped herself to it instead.
Madeline quickly grabbed the other chicken wing and gave it to Yuri. “Yuri, have this. Try some of
Brendan’s cooking.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Griffith, but it’s okay. I’m trying to lose weight, so I can’t eat dishes with a high calorie
count.” Yuri declined.
Brendan’s face fell when he heard that.
It was not that she could not eat dishes with a fatty content but instead, she did not want to eat the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthings he made.
The more he thought about it, the gloomier his face turned.
“Miss Lambert, what else do you want to eat? I’ll grill it for you,” Brendan said.
Even though he was speaking to Tara, his gaze was locked on Yuri.
However, Yuri acted like she did not hear anything. She grabbed a bottle of water from the table and
opened it, acting as if she was in a different world.
With that, Brendan brought Tara to the side, and they enjoyed the barbecue together.
Noticing that, Madeline tried to reason with Yuri. “Yuri, you know what I feel, right?”
Yuri smiled in response. “Mrs. Griffith, let nature take its course. Mr. Brendan might not even like me.”
“No, of course not!” Madeline interrupted her. “I know my son, and I’m sure he likes you. Besides,
you’re all designers; you’d have common topics to talk about. Brendan is a bit dull, but it doesn’t mean
he doesn’t like you. Trust me.”
“I trust you, Mrs. Griffith,” Yuri said, after which she then continued drinking water and enjoying the sun.
Despite saying that she trusted Madeline, her actions showed otherwise.
Seeing that Yuri had no plans to continue talking, Madeline could only let the topic slide.
She turned around and looked disapprovingly at Brendan and Tara, feeling a bit blue.
Even though Tara looked nice, it was her voice that aggravated Madeline. The latter just could not find
it in herself to like Tara because Tara was also too proactive for her own good. What is wrong with
Brendan?! He cannot be as tasteless as Alexander, right? No… History cannot repeat itself!
She had to figure something out before the situation snowballed out of hand.
Before Madeline came up with a plan, Brendan and Tara walked over with plates of food in their hands.
“Mrs. Griffith. Ms. Yuri. Come and try what Brendan made. It smells good!” Tara smiled. She looked
pleasing to the eyes with her cute dimples.
However, Madeline’s face darkened because she was unhappy with what Tara said. Brendan? They
just met each other and are now calling each other by their first names. She has no modesty at all!
