Inside the café:

Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes were clear and bright as she gazed directly at the unusual man before her, raising the corners of her lips.

Ha, performing petty theft in front of me is like a child showing off to an expert.

She knew well that, back when she wanted to leave Huo Zun, she had devised countless strategies.

Taking things was nothing to her.

Although the success rate wasn’t high, there’s always a way if the will is strong.

However... the moment this guy got close to her, she keenly sensed something odd about the man. As expected, the man did indeed help himself to what wasn’t his.

"Ha... interesting."

The man wasn’t angry, instead, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Originally, he thought she was just a sharp-tongued little girl who could talk circles around the old lady so effectively that it was clear she was talented with words and intelligence.

Unexpectedly, this little girl had quite the agile skills and sharp instincts.

What he thought was a stealthy action, unbeknownst to him, was within her detection all along.

Hua Nuan let out a cold laugh, then her small hand gripped the man’s wrist firmly before quickly reaching into his pocket, retrieving her own belongings.

It was the latest model of a couple’s phone, with top-tier features. When Huo Zun had given it to her previously, she hadn’t needed it much, so she just carried it around, using the butler’s phone instead when contacting Isabella to avoid future trouble.

Coincidentally, someone had set their sights on her.

At the thought of this, Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes grew even more cold and sharp.

"Speak, caught in the act, why did you steal my phone?"

"You can call the police and have me arrested, yeah, only someone in need of money would resort to theft, like a child would only steal food when hungry, it’s a reason... no one’s going to steal while they’re full, or if they were as rich as a nation, they wouldn’t be after stealing money."

Listening to the man’s magnetic voice, it was entirely a case of blatantly lying at the moment, Hua Nuan’s lips curled into a sneer.

"Little brother, don’t think you can lie in front of me, draped in luxury brand items, just the gemstone cufflinks on your arm are probably worth a lot, lacking money... ha, next time find a more plausible excuse, don’t use those... that can be directly debunked, okay?"

Hua Nuan spoke casually, her beautiful eyes then settling on the man’s exquisitely handsome face, squinting slightly.

That face is truly exquisite, and it felt familiar, exuding a rich playboy vibe, arrogant and proud.

When Hua Nuan directly exposed him, the man didn’t grow angry but instead laughed more appreciatively.

"Ha..."

"Nice to meet you, I’m Huo Si... there’s no need for you to call me sister-in-law now. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll let you off this time, but next time, I will definitely call the police."

Hua Nuan accurately called out Huo Si’s name, and Huo Si’s face changed slightly, truly not expecting Hua Nuan to be this skilled.

All of this woman’s reactions had far exceeded his expectations.

She was far beyond what he anticipated; the woman was truly formidable.

"How did you know?"

"You look quite like my husband, although you’re not as handsome as he is, there’s a bit of imitation in your looks, hmm, moreover, others wouldn’t necessarily target me and the old lady, except... Huo Si."

Upon hearing this, Huo Si’s blue eyes widened, unable to conceal his surprise.

Such an astute woman.

She really is clever.

Faced with such a woman, men might find it somewhat difficult to handle.

Because this woman is excessively intelligent and exceptional in her skills.

Although he hadn’t fought back earlier, he could feel the force exerted from her wrist, as if she might crush his wrist. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Impressive... Hua Nuan, you really are something."

"You’re too kind, I just didn’t expect that on our first meeting, you’d give me such a big gift, the well-off young master of the Huo Family turning out to be someone who enjoys stealing."

...

"Huo Si, why are you here?"

Isabella, intending to leave after Hua Nuan, was startled to see Huo Si and Hua Nuan in confrontation.

As Hua Nuan watched Isabella approach with concern, the sneer on her lips sharpened further.

Isabella was trying all she could to support the Huo Family, to back Huo Si, yet Huo Si seemed more like a hopeless case.

Isabella was clever all her life, but foolish at this moment.

Removing his admiring gaze from Hua Nuan, Huo Si then looked at Isabella, smoothing out his slightly rumpled clothes from the prior exchange with Hua Nuan.
