Skadi ced the duck meat that was a specialty of Xanthalos on the table. “This is a specialty from


    Xanthalos, handmade by my best. friend!”


    Seeing Skadi looking upset, Hera could not help but ask, “What happened? Did someone try to scam


    you with the car ident?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Skadi plopped down on the sofa frustratedly. “Yes, that old man tried to extort 80,000 dors from me!”


    Hera could not help but find it amusing. “You got scammed? Aren’t you the kind of person who


    would’ve sent him straight to the Inspection Office?”


    Skadi’s temper was not to be trifled with. There were only a few of the wealthy second-generation elites


    in Jonford who dared to provoke her.


    “I was speeding, and Royal Bay is filled with surveince cameras. Sending him to the Inspection


    Office would only backfire on me,” Skadi replied helplessly.


    Helena sipped her medicine and asked, “Don’t you have a dashcam?’


    Skadi only noticed Helena’s presence then, and her expression turned cold. However, she noticed a


    signal from Hera and wondered what she meant. Had they reconciled?


    Skadi was momentarily stunned. “You… You two?”


    Hera smiled and said, “You’ve seen it yourself. We’ve made up.”


    Skadi rolled her eyes and then smiled. “Congrattions, then.”


    Hera took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, walked toward the sofa, and handed one to Skadi


    as she asked, “You still haven’t answered Helena’s question. Don’t you have a dashcam in your car?”


    Having a dashcam but still being scammed for 80,000! If this happened to anyone else, she might


    believe it, but the fact that it happened to Skadi was truly outrageous.


    Skadi unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips of her drink before replying, “That old man just


    walked straight toward the road without looking. He didn’t even nce to see if there were any cars. I


    didn’t expect him to cross the road without checking at all.


    “I didn’t manage to break in time. It’s like he was intentionally risking his life for money!”


    Hera could not help butugh. “Well, that’s unfortunate, but you did speed in a residential area.”


    Skadi took off her shoes and crossed her legs. “You should be more careful when driving next time.


    That old man looks like a repeat offender!” she said with a solemn expression.


    Hera retorted, “I’ve always been careful when driving!” Unless it was an emergency, she had always


    adhered to the speed limits posted on the signs.


    Helena suddenly spoke up right then, “People living in Royal Bay are either rich or wealthy. How could


    someone pull a scam here?”


    Hera looked at Skadi, who shrugged and said, “Who knows? That old guy didn’t look wealthy at all.


    He’s probably an outsider who sneaked in!”


    Hera pinched Skadi’s cheek,ughing. “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll talk to the property management


    tomorrow and get him kicked out!”


    Skadi nodded and took out her phone, saying, “Let me show you live. footage of Bianca’s boxing


    match!”


    The two sat on the sofa and watched the video recording of Bianca’s boxing match.


    Hera sometimes frowned, sometimes cheered. It was as if she were watching a live broadcast.


    Two bright lights shone into the yard from outside the vi just then.


    It was the headlights of Melody’s car. The lights went out, and then


    Melody walked toward the basement after getting out of the car.


    “Does this woman always stay at your house?” Skadi asked cautiously.


    Hera shook her head and said, “Most of the time, she stays in hotels.


    asionally, she sleeps in the guest room.”


    Skadi frowned and asked, “Is she with Nash every day?”


    “Yeah.” Hera calmly nodded, showing no signs of jealousy. She already knew that there was only a


    professional rtionship between


    Nash and Melody. Nash was trustworthy, and Hera trusted himpletely.


    Skadi hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but then held back. Last time, she almost had


    a falling out with Hera because she meddled too much.


    Hera understood what Skadi was thinking and smiled, saying, “Don’t overthink it. No need to worry. I’ve


    known Nash for a long time, and I know him better than anyone else!”


    Skadi could only smile faintly at Hera’s reassurance. “Don’t tell me you two haven’t been intimate yet?”


    she then asked in a hushed tone.


    Hera blushed slightly, thinking about the times before when their passionate moments were interrupted.


    She felt a bit frustrated. “Don’t bring it up. Every time we’re about to get intimate, something.


    unexpected happens. I’m starting to have aplex about it!”


    Skadi could not help butugh. “I suggest you settle things with him sooner rather thanter. With other


    women around all the time, who knows if feelings might develop over time?”
