Chapter 1186: Chapter 1158: Needle Tip Against Wheat (900 Additional Monthly Votes) Chapter 1186: Chapter 1158: Needle Tip Against Wheat (900 Additional Monthly Votes) Mario Yuno clenched his teeth in frustration, she actually played the baby card, and used psychological warfare ant for others on him!
Kiara put on a face of understanding on the surface, but in her heart, she stuck out her tongue.
It doesn’t matter what card you play, as long as it works, right!
“Husband, what do you plan to do?”
“What can I do? Since you’re being so reckless, I’ll just have to assign a bodyguard to you. Having soone follow you ans you’ll have soone to look out for you in case anything happens.”
“Are your people that idle?”
“Of course not, we’re all swamped. But it just so happens there’s soone who knows you well and has plenty of leave ti, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to follow you.”
“The person you’re talking about, could it be—” Kiara’s eyes widened in surprise, was such an operation even possible?
The bodyguard Mario Yuno was talking about was none other than Arlong.
Since Kiara insisted on sending off the dying old man, then he must place soone by Kiara’s side and start investigating this Grace Bradford to see if she truly was a drug addict.
“Is he… capable?” Although Kiara had infinite hopes for her younger brother, she didn’t have much faith in his abilities.
She wanted to fulfill her duty, but that didn’t an she was willing to gamble with the life of the child in her belly.
“He’s capable. Although Arlong can be simple-minded, he’s still very talented. He’s shown that in the past month. I’ll give him a little instruction, and for him to be in disguise and infiltrate shouldn’t be a problem.”
Arlong was the only one available now. Even though Arlong hadn’t participated in the final major assessnt and hadn’t officially joined Yuno Group Headquarters, they had already reserved a spot for him. As a model of selfless heroism, they were prepared to make an exception and keep him on.
“Don’t worry, I would never joke about the safety of my own daughter-in-law. Arlong is not only your brother; he’s my brother as well. I have great confidence in his abilities. With so training, the kid will definitely beco an outstanding talent.”
To Mario Yuno, the likelihood of Kiara being in danger was slim because even if Grace Bradford was indeed like the rumors suggested, a user of unspeakable substances, she was seeking a favor from Kiara, hoping that she could cure her father. So as long as Grace Bradford didn’t experience any hallucinations from her usage, she wouldn’t harm Kiara.
Therefore, sending Arlong at this stage was the most reliable choice.
“Then how should I explain this to the Moore Clan? It doesn’t seem appropriate to bring a man with when I go for dical treatnt, does it?”
“That’s easy to handle. Just say Arlong’s a bit crazy and not well in the head,” Mario Yuno said, tapping his own forehead. “Claim he’s ntally unstable and can’t be left alone. His leg was injured after he left your side, and you don’t feel safe leaving him alone at ho, so you take him with you wherever you go.”
That made sense.
Grace Bradford didn’t know that Kiara was suspecting her, so she wouldn’t be too suspicious of Arlong. Even if she saw that Arlong’s leg was truly injured, she would be reassured. After all, who, with a troubled mind, would arrange for an injured person to protect Kiara?
But Mario Yuno intended to play a risky move. Arlong’s leg issue didn’t necessarily an he could hold his own in a fight, but after training he also had so counter-surveillance abilities. If he followed Kiara, he could report back in case of any issues and use his wounded leg and crazy act as a pretext to investigate the Moore Clan.
“Having him play soone with a crazy head, that’s really typecasting… I just don’t know if the kid will agree. Isn’t he eager to take part in your assessnt?”
Camden wasn’t worried about this at all; he was quite confident.
“Don’t worry, daughter-in-law. Aren’t you still holding a grudge about the last ti I made you say those cheesy words in front of so many people, shattering your cool image?”
The re ntion of it made Kiara want to hit him; yes, she had held a grudge about that indeed!
“This ti I’m giving you a chance to see how your little brother truly feels about you,” Camden whispered into Kiara’s ear, and she felt relieved.
Whenever he used these tricks on soone else, Kiara always found it rather amusing, as long as they weren’t turned against her.
So, the couple had discussed their future strategies and were just about to tackle the issue of the Beautiful Lady when they heard the door being knocked on.
“Youngest Brother of Yuno Family, you’d better open up quickly!”
It was Mother Yuno!
The mont Kiara heard Abigail Nana’s overly gentle voice, the image of Mother Yuno expertly twisting Mr. Yuno’s ear at ho instantly ca to mind.
It seed that every ti Mother Yuno was about to explode, she would first express her emotions in a very gentle voice.
Kiara glanced at Mario Yuno’s ears and muttered softly, “Should I go find so ointnt for you? Just in case Mum twists it too hard, you’ll have sothing to apply.”
Mario Yuno nearly burst into laughter, this little rascal had annoyed their mum, and now she was all too willing to kick him out to face the music!
He knew his mum would never take it out on a pregnant woman, so he was the one who would suffer. But who asked him to marry such a daughter-in-law?
Mario Yuno gave her a look that said you wait until we get ho to settle this and got up to open the door.
He’d just reached the door when it abruptly opened.
There stood Mother Yuno, smiling yet radiating an aura of imminent slaughter, accompanied by a security guard. The guard made a pained face upon seeing Mario Yuno, his hands trembling with the wire used for unlocking the door.
“I, I, I…” I was coerced, please see the truth!
Mother Yuno’s smile was like blooming flowers, “Thank you, you may go back now, I’ve delayed you enough. Auntie will treat you to a chicken leg later.”
“No trouble at all.” The security guard who helped Mother Yuno open Mario Yuno’s door was weak at the knees. He didn’t dare hope for a chicken leg; he just hoped not to get turned into one!
“Don’t worry, if he dares to give you trouble, I’m brave enough to skin him.” Mother Yuno spoke kindly, the security guard didn’t even dare to see what Mario Yuno’s reaction was and scurried away, crying a river in his heart.
Wuuu, he had a premonition that things wouldn’t end well for him!
“Mum, if you were going to co, why bring soone else with you?” asked Mario Yuno, helpless.
Mother Yuno gave him a glare, completely ignoring her son who had no standing, and carrying a pot of chicken soup, she went straight into the house. Kiara quickly got up and bowed her head in a well-behaved gesture of apology.
“Kiara dear, did you miss out on so treats? I’ve made you so chicken soup, co over and drink it,” said Mother Yuno as if nothing had happened. She sat on the sofa serving soup to Kiara, her eyes sharply scanning the Beautiful Lady who silently moved back a few steps, sensing the Old Lady’s murderous intent and quickly scuttled into the bedroom with her tail between her legs.
“Mum, I’m sorry,” Kiara promptly apologized after seeing Abigail Nana co in with the soup.
“You child, I don’t even know what to say to you. I care wholeheartedly for you, yet you run off with that mad dog, not coming ho and avoiding . One would think Youngest had mishandled the situation between us, but those who don’t know any better might assu I’m bullying you as the mother-in-law.”
The words from Mother Yuno were a bit harsh; she had never confronted Kiara like this before.
