Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women

Chapter 823 Dizzy

Seeing Luis dodge, Elara Ye held him even tighter, speaking in a fierce, threatening tone: ”Little brat, why are you dodging? You dare to look down on your big sister?!”

”Youʼve grown up and got some nerve, I think youʼre asking for a beating.”

”Getting married means forgetting your roots, huh? Iʼll beat the crap out of you later, believe it or not.”

Carter Peng, however, remained calm and said with a smile, ”Uncle really should have introduced Luis to me earlier. Come to think of it, Iʼve never seen him at any family gatherings over the years.”

If this illegitimate son identity had come from Elara Yeʼs own mouth, he might have suspected she was covering for a lover.

After all, this was a political marriage, their relationship so lukewarm that theyʼd agreed they could each do their own thing, but on the surface, they absolutely had to maintain a perfect image.

But in the end, what man could truly accept that in his heart? Knowing about an affair was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was entirely another.

The reason he was so composed was because it came from his uncle Sebastian Ye.

That night when they met, the loving look in that fatherʼs eyes for his son couldnʼt be faked. As a man, he fully trusted his instincts.

Besides, as a distinguished elder and someone of high status, his uncle was respected by everyone. He wouldnʼt fabricate such a fact to tarnish his own reputation and that of the family.

Given Sebastian Yeʼs credibility, there could be no doubt about this illegitimate sonʼs identity, and no one would dare to deceive the Ye family.

Carter Peng figured that these two siblings had known each other since childhood, and had simply grown a bit distant after not seeing each other for a long time. Now that they were living together, they were regaining their former closeness.

The reason heʼd never known was that for a family like theirs, an illegitimate son was also something that couldnʼt be brought into the open.

For the sake of reputation and future prospects, theyʼd remained tight-lipped, and no one had ever mentioned it to him.

So seeing this man and woman dressed like that together didnʼt make Carter Peng think twice. After all, they were siblings.

Just as Carter Peng finished speaking, Elara Ye shot him a glare.

Carter Peng realized heʼd misspoken. That was a classic case of saying exactly the wrong thing, how awkward.

Elara Ye immediately signaled to him and said, ”Uncle said that this New Year, heʼll probably bring Luis back to stay for a couple of days.”

Since Luisʼs surname was Xu, they could bring him back and introduce him as a godson. After all, these people were somewhat superstitious, and finding someone with a compatible birth chart wasnʼt unusual.

”Ah, thatʼs wonderful news!”

A man like Carter Peng would never let embarrassment show on his face. He immediately laughed and said cheerfully.

Luis smiled and said, ”Itʼs not set in stone yet. That guyʼs so busy he doesnʼt even know if heʼll have the time himself.”

”Let us know once youʼve settled on a date for your trip back!”

Carter Peng complained, ”Your family can really hold their liquor. Usually, during work, nobody touches a drop, but when it comes to holiday gatherings, every single one of them...”

”Oh, so marrying into my family is such a hardship for you?”

Elara Ye rolled her eyes at him.

Carter Peng laughed heartily and said, ”Which son-in-law of your family hasnʼt been puking their guts out? Which one hasnʼt gotten dead drunk?”

Elara Ye was the sole exception, a complete female alcoholic.

As they were talking, Carter Pengʼs phone rang. He answered it, then stood up and said, ”Iʼll head out first. Canʼt be late for a drink with your boss.”

”Thanks for your hard work!”

Elara Ye was in a great mood and saw him out the door.

Once she sat back down, she opened another bottle, raised it with a grin, and said, ”Come on, Luis, youʼve worked hard too. Now that the moleʼs been caught, thatʼs one less thing to worry about.”

”Not hard at all. Itʼs my honor to take care of my big sister.”

Luis clinked his bottle with hers.

Before they knew it, theyʼd polished off an entire case of twenty-four small bottles of bottled Budweiser.

The female alcoholic Elara Ye still wanted more. She grabbed a few more bottles from the fridge and said, ”Oh, by the way, thereʼs something I need to tell you. You donʼt need to keep following Xeno anymore.”

”Donʼt follow him anymore?”

Luis asked, a bit surprised.

Elara Ye said, ”Thereʼs a TV drama our station is investing in. Heʼs going to visit the set tomorrow. His plane ticket for noon tomorrow is already booked.”

”For the time being, we all need to keep a low profile. We canʼt make any rash moves.”

”This tacit understanding is pretty much reached. Besides, in such a short time, we probably wonʼt be able to dig up any more useful dirt.”

At that, Elara Ye sighed, ”In the end, weʼll just have to let fate decide. At least your brother-in-law helped out, so we should be looking at a fifty-fifty chance.”

”Whoʼll end up on top? Even we donʼt have the confidence or certainty anymore.”

Luis narrowed his eyes and asked softly, ”Sis, what if something happened to Xeno and he was no longer fit for work? What if he needed a break?”

”What kind of accident?”

”Like a car crash, needing to be hospitalized for surgery and unable to work for a short time.”

After Luis finished speaking in a low voice, Elara Ye was stunned at first, then said anxiously, ”Luis, donʼt do anything rash! If something happened to you, I couldnʼt face Uncle.”

”And going to such extremes, if it got found out, it would cause a lot of trouble. Xenoʼs family isnʼt exactly a pushover either.”

Seeing her flustered for the first time, Luis laughed and said, ”Sis, I was just joking. Thereʼs no way Iʼd drive my car into him myself. Iʼm not that crazy.”

”Donʼt scare me like that!”

Elara Ye said with a coquettish pout.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, her face flushed with drink, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of intoxication. She looked utterly captivating.

”Donʼt worry, big sis. I have my own methods. I can guarantee youʼll win this time for sure.”

Luis declared confidently.

”Alright, alright, as long as you donʼt do anything reckless, Iʼm relieved. I believe you.”

Elara Ye treated it as a joke.

”You donʼt have to clean up after you finish. The cleaning lady will come tomorrow afternoon to take care of it. My headʼs a bit dizzy, Iʼm going to bed.”

After saying that, Elara Ye swayed slightly, yawned, rubbed her eyes, and went back to her room.

Watching her graceful figure, Luis thought to himself, damn it, just when things were finally getting a little intimate that evening, the brother-in-law had to come back and ruin everything. At this rate, when would he ever complete his mission?

Damn... looks like heʼd have to rely on his acting skills. Luis opened his phone and, using the information sheʼd provided, booked a first-class seat on the same flight as that Xeno.
