Chapter 367 Let's Talk Somewhere Else!

Upon seeing the message, Ryder's eye twitched and replied.

Ryder: [Barbara, let's talk honestly. When did I ever misbehave towards you? This is a complete misunderstanding!]

Barbara: [You think you're innocent? Bastard!]

Barbara: [I don't care. The whole situation is your fault. Find a way to make it up to me! Otherwise, I'll tell Sarah about this and say you deliberately blocked the bathroom door and harassed me!]

Ryder: [Oh my God! Some things shouldn't be said lightly. When did I ever harass you?]

Barbara: [If you don't believe me, I'll tell Sarah everything that happened in the mountains, and what you did that night in the cave!]

Ryder was so enraged upon seeing this!

The point was that this tactic indeed worked. Ryder didn't dare to make Sarah angry, so he could only sigh and type.

Ryder: [Alright, what do you want me to do to make it up to you?]

After more than a minute, Barbara responded: [As long as you agree to do three things for me, I'll let you off the hook!]

Ryder: [What things?]

Barbara: [I haven't thought of them yet. When I do, I'll let you know! Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything against your conscience!]

What else could Ryder do?

He could only respond: [Alright!]

Barbara: [Good night!]

Ryder: [Good night!]

Ryder exited WhatsApp, feeling a bit like crying but without tears.

He reflected on how, just a few hours prior, he was planning and leading at the Davis estate, securing a victory.

But now, he was entangled in the schemes of a young girl, which was a real blow to his self-esteem!

Thinking about it, he gradually fell asleep as a wave of drowsiness hit him.

The next morning, Ryder, Sarah, and Rex were having breakfast in the first-floor dining room.

Thud, thud, thud!

At this moment, footsteps sounded from the second-floor stairs!

Ryder looked up, and his gaze froze slightly!

He saw Barbara coming down from the second floor.

She looked completely different from the girl with dreadlocks and a very hip-hop style.

Now, she had long, straight hair, wore a pleated skirt, over-the-knee black stockings, and a standard schoolgirl outfit!

The key point was that Barbara's figure and face perfectly complemented this style, without any sense of discord!

She was several levels above those so-called high-value female streamers in live broadcasts!

"What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Barbara scolded Ryder unhappily!

Ryder sighed, kept his head down, and continued eating without commenting!

At this moment, Sarah smiled and said, "Barbara, stop bickering with Ryder. After all, he's your brother-in-law. Show some respect!"

"Oh!" Barbara responded absentmindedly and sat down on the chair next to Sarah!

Sarah said to Ryder, "When I picked Barbara up from the hospital yesterday, she said she wanted to change her lifestyle, so she chose this outfit. How does it look, pretty, right?"

"It's alright!" Ryder responded indifferently!

"What do you mean 'alright'?" Barbara suddenly questioned Ryder, frowning, clearly dissatisfied with Ryder's evaluation!

Ryder, disdaining her, smiled regardless of his reluctance to offend Barbara. "It's great! Really beautiful!"

"Hmph! That's more like it!"

Barbara smiled smugly and started eating breakfast!

While eating, Sarah said to Ryder, "Barbara will be interning at my company, helping me with some tasks. She'll be under my wing, so don't bully her, got it?"

'It would be nice if she didn't bully me, alright?' Ryder complained inwardly.

But on the surface, he could only nod!

Barbara smirked and started speaking cryptically upon noticing Ryder's preoccupied demeanor, "Sarah, it's not easy being a woman. We always think we can capture a man's heart, but there are so many douchebags out there who might be doing things behind our backs!"

Sarah agreed, "Indeed, there aren't many good men left in society today!"

"What about Ryder?" Barbara teased.

Sarah glanced at Ryder, a blush appearing on her cheeks, and nodded. "Ryder is very good, not a douchebag!"

But Barbara pouted. "Sarah, you're so optimistic. I'm just worried that some people, even with a wife, still like to find lovers! Right, Ryder?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Ryder, clearly saying it for his benefit!

Fortunately, Ryder had good mental resilience. He cleared his throat and said, "I don't deny there are men like that, but I'm sincere towards Sarah, rest assured!"

Sarah's eyes then sparkled with joy.

Barbara rolled her eyes, then took out her phone and secretly sent a WhatsApp message to Ryder.

Ryder: [Douchebag! You have the nerve to say that!]

Ryder pretended not to see it and didn't reply!

Barbara continued typing: [Tell me, do I look good in this outfit today? I want your honest opinion! If you don't answer, I'll tell Sarah what you did!]

This time, Ryder had no choice but to take out his phone and type a response: [Yeah!]

Barbara: [Then the first thing I want you to do is accompany me to buy clothes. When the time is set, you have to come whenever I call!]

Ryder reluctantly replied: [Alright!]

Only then did Barbara put down her phone and continue eating with relish!

Thankfully, Sarah was preoccupied with company affairs on her phone throughout, remaining oblivious to everything.

After breakfast, Sarah drove Barbara to SR Group for work!

Ryder also planned to visit George; he still had some matters to attend to!

Rex drove Ryder out of the Platan Height villa!

When they reached the turn at the bottom of the hill, suddenly, a red Porsche stopped in front, blocking Ryder's way!

The car door opened, and a sexy woman in a low-cut long dress, black high heels, and black stockings stepped out!

When Ryder saw her face, he was slightly surprised.

He thought, 'It's Elena! What's she doing here?'

Elena, heavily made-up, swayed her hips to Ryder's car and gently knocked on the window. "Mr. Clark, could you please roll down the window?"

Ryder rolled down the window and asked, "What's up?"

Elena bent down, deliberately showing some cleavage.

In a coquettish voice, she said, "I haven't seen you for a while and felt very lonely, so I came to see you!"

Ryder frowned and said irritably, "If you're here to talk nonsense, I'm not interested. Rex, drive!"

"Wait a minute!" Elena called softly, then took out a room card from her wallet, still carrying a hint of fragrance, and handed it to Ryder. "Mr. Clark, how about we go somewhere else to talk?"
