StarNovelChapter 1345
Eunice caught that fleeting expression and, with a mischievous gleam in her eye, she couldn't resist teasing.
"Today's your birthday, so consider this juicy bit my generous gift to you."
Arlen chuckled, playing along with her game. “Whoever you're talking about, | don't know this guy, and whatever they're up to, it's
no concern of mine"
Just as Arlen was about to head upstairs, Eunice's laughter stopped him in his tracks. "Oh, but it is relevant."
Arlen paused, curious despite himself.
"This matter involves someone from the Griffith clan. As the family elder, don't you want to know what they've been up to?"
Arlen pondered for a moment before relenting. ‘Alright, lead the way upstairs."
"No, | choose the place,” Eunice countered with a sly smile, her red lips curving into a charming grin. "Please, follow me, Arlen."

As Eunice passed by Arabella, she shot her a conspiratorial wink. Arabella quickly took the hint, slipping upstairs to discreetly
relocate the two bodyguards elsewhere.
In the garden.
Eunice, now accompanied by Calvin and Bess, maintained her smile. "This is for Arlen’s ears only."
"By seniority, we're your elders. If Arlen is privy to this info, why aren't we?" Bess asked, clearly annoyed.
"Yes, you're not.” Eunice's smile never wavered as she emphasized each word. "Given your usual unreasonable behavior, | have no
desire to share with you"
Bess was livid, insulted by Eunice’s lack of respect, and stormed off.
Calvin, with a scowl, followed suit.
“So, what's the big secret?" Arlen asked, intrigued by what Eunice was up to. Eunice had a way of stirring trouble that could easily
drive a wedge between him and the younger members of the family.
From a distance, Bess could see Eunice's red lips moving animatedly, her eyes darting in their direction now and then, as if she
were speaking ill of them.
“What's that vixen on about? Why does she keep looking over here?" Bess muttered irritably.
Calvin, observing Eunice, let out a cold laugh. "If she really knew something substantial, why would she bother telling the runt?"
“That's true.” Bess had a moment of clarity, then considered another possibility. “What if she only knows part of the story and not
the whole truth?"
“Possibly”
After Eunice finished speaking, she pulled out something that resembled a USB drive from her pocket and slipped it into Arlen's
jacket.
Her grace and poise in every gesture, every expression, left Bess seething with envy.

It all seemed like an act of flirtation!
Arlen, having waded through a sea of nonsense, finally seized upon something worthwhile — the secret was on that drive.
As Arlen considered heading upstairs to uncover this so-called secret, Eunice called out, “Arlen."
He turned, realizing she wasn't done, and with a sigh, asked, “What now?"
"I forgot to give you the password," Eunice said with a playful smile. "There's an encrypted file. Ccloser. I'll tell only you."
As Arlen leaned in, she whispered, "123456." He nodded, "Got it."
"You'll remember?" she teased.
“Who could forget such a simple password? I'm not senile yet.” Arlen retorted with a grin, then made his way upstairs.
Bess shot Eunice a disgruntled look before trailing after Arlen.
Calvin followed, his curiosity piqued.
