Chapter 21 Rib Landlord
Helena was angry, really angry.
What was the matter with him? What was the big deal? Did she need no dignity?
After two hard breaths, she spoke to him: “Jasper, you’re so ridiculous. I didn’t flirt with you just now, and you’re undermining me like this? What’s the matter? You’re a tease!” She gave him back all business cards and door cards: “I’ll show you how reserved I am today. I’m not staying at your place. I’m going back to the hotel. Hotel is a good thing, and I deserve it!”
Jasper didn’t panic, his tone was calm: “I’m in a hurry to get back to the mansion.”
Helena’s body trembled: ……
Jasper rubbed his nose so he wouldn’t laugh: “If I go back late, I’ll miss the murderer. Next time I’m set up by him, do you think that counts as you getting me killed? Does it count as you joining forces with him against me?”
Helena’s breath turned heavy as she turned and grabbed his business card and door card, pushing the door and getting out of the car: get out of here!
Jasper lowered the car window, and there was laughter inside his voice and eyes, “Helena, I find that I’m especially relieved when I play with you. When I come back from my busy schedule, we’ll proceed to mock at each other, and we’ll have to see who wins in the end.”
Helena wanted to punch him!
His phone was ringing again and there was no time to delay any longer but to say a hasty goodbye: “Go in and remember to take your fingerprints. There’s food in the fridge. The clothes are on the way, they’ll be delivered in the morning after they were washed, so you’ll wear mine tonight.”
Helena felt that she was being teased.
It was not enough to live in his house, but to wear his clothes? What did that mean? Living together? Marriage? Her plan to get her hands on him had worked? I could not believe it, it felt like a dream!
She turned around and got into the cottage.
Jasper’s villa was more imposing and more than five times the size of the Yip family’s villa.
The villa had a swimming pool in the front and a garden in the back.
The main building was three-storey high and there were three accessory buildings, one of which was dedicated to parties.
There were two garages, one above ground and one underground. Underground there were giant wine kilns with a collection of precious and famous wines.
The living room on the main building was large.
The front room was a cinema room and the back room was a restaurant, with an extra-long giant fish tank separating the two rooms.
The tank was beautifully designed with colourful fish of all sizes, swaying and swimming freely and vibrantly in the water plants, in the light and in the coral.
Jasper would have been fond of keeping fish, and there was a fish tank set into the outside wall of the kitchen.
This tank was a bit unusual in that it contained only one fish, a long, thin striped one over a metre long, which looked a bit like a hairtail.
Helena loved eating hairtail!
Hairtail with wine taste good. Pan fried hairtails were fragrant, deep fried hairtails were crispy, and braise …… her phone suddenly buzzed, it was WeChat alerting a friend request to be added.
She clicked on it and saw that it was none other than Jasper, WeChat name: Rib Landlord!
She accepted it. Immediately afterwards, Jasper sent a voice: [Sleeping?]
Violet replied: [not yet]
Rib Landlord: [What are you doing?]
Helena: [Get familiar with the terrain first. Then learn the escape route. A bit hungry now, going to get a hairtail for dinner.]
Rib Landlord: [I’ll ask the restaurant to send it to you].
Helena took a picture and sent it to him: [No need! I’ll eat this! I can cook by myself!]
When Jasper saw the picture, he did a double take and almost died on the spot out of anger. He hastily sent the picture: a knife dripping with blood, followed by a voice message: [If you dare to touch it, I’ll make you fry on both sides and scorch the outside.]
