"What? What kind of brother? He must be just a friend of hers. Didn't you notice? This man's last name is Mu, while Leena's family name is Leng. They are very different." Claire frowned. Even if it looked like Leena had a close relationship with the two presidents of FX International, it did not mean that Leena was a daughter of a rich family! Claire did not believe that such an ordinary girl like Leena could have any real intimacy with these people who clearly belonged to the upper class.
"Claire, I just wonder if there is a possibility that Leena took her mother's last name. That's why she doesn't have the same family name as her brother. Don't you think so?" Louisa's eyebrows furrowed in thought. There were some uncertainties in her words. If Leena really belonged to a rich family, then her advantage on Leena would disappear.
"How is that possible? Louisa, if that is the case, do you think that a cultivated girl from the super wealthy family could do the housework so well? Most young people can't do housework that well, even when they are from ordinary families! Not to mention those from the rich families. I can only guess that the relationship between Leena and these men is some kind of casual acquaintance. Maybe they know each other by accident. She seems so close to them because she is very good at luring men. She's probably great at flirting and charming them. That must be it," Claire said scornfully, her words insulting. She did not feel that her remarks carried any personal affronts to Leena's character.
"When you put it like that, I see that must be it. Otherwise, how could she have seduced your brother in such a short time? They got married without telling anyone. As far as I am concerned, she must have married Kevin because of his title. It is hard to find a young and handsome Major General like Kevin," Louisa commented, managing to convince herself that it was true.
I'm not so sure about that. Although my brother is a Major General, he does not have a high salary. It definitely does not compare to those of the presidents of FX International. If Leena is really concerned with material wealth, she would have chased after a businessman, not a soldier. If she could be so close to these people, it would have been easy for her to find a rich man with her beauty and abilities." Even though Claire did not like Leena, she had to admit that Leena was a beautiful and charming woman. Claire was not so stupid to believe Louisa's words blindly. She was not led by the nose and knew her own mind.
Hmm, I don't agree with you on that. I must say that you are too simple to understand how shrewd women like Leena are. She is very good at her tricks. You never know what she is plotting," Louisa responded scornfully and pursed her lips. How she wished to hurl Leena to the ground and step on her! Only in that way could she vent her spleen.
"Uh! Really? Is she so horrible? If so, is my brother being exploited by her? What would she do to Kevin?" Claire's wide eyes turned to look at Louisa in fear. She was afraid that what Louisa said was true and that Leena was, in fact, plotting against Kevin.
"What else? Do you really think she married Kevin for love?" Louisa was two years older and more cunning than Claire. It was easy for her to change the topic at hand from Rain to Kevin. At the same time, she successfully aroused Claire's suspicions of Leena.
"But I think the two of them seem to love each other very much! Their marriage is not as much of a hoax as you said just now." Claire tilted her head, looking thoughtful. She was confused by Louisa's words. Claire always noticed the affection in Kevin's eyes when he looked at Leena, and it made her envious of the intimacy between the two. Their interactions didn't seem fake.
"Hah! Maybe she is acting! She has ulterior motives and obviously she would pretend to be in love with him. It is just so naive and kind of you to be duped by her." As Louisa talked to Claire, she kept her eyes on the screen. She had to admit that these two men were very handsome and charming. They had bad-boy qualities. Unfortunately, they were not the type of men she could handle. She would not bother to humiliate herself by trying to get into a relationship with them. Someone like Kevin, a good-looking, upright soldier, suited her the most.
"Louisa, you are scaring me. If she is really horrible as you said, then I made a mistake by offending her so often. I have gone against her so many times! It would be easy for her to get revenge on me if she wants to. I am no match to her in that respect." Claire was nervous. Although Claire was usually arrogant and domineering, she was fundamentally a timid person if she was left without her parents' protection.
"Well, I don't know about that. By the way, have you ever thought of sneaking into her bedroom when she's not upstairs? Maybe you'll find some clues there?" Louisa looked at Claire slyly from the corner of her eyes, inducing her to follow her advice. It was not a hard thing to have Claire in the palm of her hands.
No, I haven't. But that is a good idea! Louisa, let's go check it out. I haven't been inside her bedroom anyway." Unlike Louisa, Claire did not have any interest in Kevin and Leena's bedroom before. But now after listening to Louisa, Claire felt it made sense to check it out to find some clues on Leena.
The two sneaked into Leena's bedroom quietly. Louisa had deliberately entered it last time but didn't get the chance to take a closer look at it before being forced out by Kevin immediately. Since Leena was cooking downstairs, they could walk in. And they had sufficient time to look around this time. To her surprise, the room was beautifully decorated and the walls were painted in romantic colors. The bedroom was warm and cozy because of the elaborate interiors. It was not difficult to tell that Leena had an elegant taste.
"Wow! What a beautiful room! It's totally different from the outside. Look at this snow-white carpet! There's not the slightest stain on it. Louisa, we must take off our shoes. If we get the floor dirty, people will know that we have sneaked in." Claire didn't expect the bedroom to be so luxurious. She could tell from a glance that the decorations cost a lot of money.
