He simply preferred indulging in his fantasies.
He already understood the truth, but he loved living inside his delusional world.
However, when his instincts told him it was ti to stop pushing, he backtracked imdiately. Now, knowing that his sister might leave the group, he began flattering her quickly.
Kate also imdiately looked at Angelina and said, "Your father is stupid. Don’t take his words seriously."
Though Marcus was furious, he too kept quiet.
Just as they were flattering Angelina, a calm yet slightly sweetened voice ca from behind them, asking, "Is this Arthur?"
Imdiately, the family of four turned around and saw soone familiar.
It was a woman with slightly better living conditions than Arthur.
However, from her appearance, it was clear she had been denied entry and was waiting outside in hopes that soone would help her get inside.
How could Angelina not realize who the other person was?
The woman was none other than Hannah... Hannah Blue.
(Author: For those who don’t rember, she had bullied Nora [Ivy’s teacher])
In fact, she was one of Arthur’s admirers. However, compared to the others who pursued Arthur for his money, Hannah was after him for sothing else entirely.
Before the apocalypse, Hannah and Arthur were in a friends-with-benefits relationship.
At that ti, Hannah had fallen in love with Arthur... partially because of how much money he owned, but also because she genuinely loved the way Arthur made love to her.
She had even openly confessed this to the Evans family mbers that she loved Arthur’s stamina and the way he makes her satisfied, saying it so shalessly that even Kate had blushed.
Hannah truly believed that by being honest, she would make a positive impression on Kate and Marcus.
It didn’t work. Instead, she was humiliated and kicked out.
But Hannah was so in love with Arthur that she continued pursuing him, inviting him to continue their relationship even though she knew Arthur was in love with Ivy.
Hannah had even gone as far as threatening Ivy and bullying her in hopes that Arthur would see how weak Ivy was and give up on her.
But instead of weakening Ivy’s image, Hannah only triggered Arthur’s instinctive desire to protect a "heroine."
Arthur beca even more attached to Ivy, believing Ivy needed him for survival, when the irony was that Ivy was constantly troubled because of Arthur’s existence.
Anyhow, the woman had done many evil deeds, and Angelina couldn’t help but subconsciously ask her system, "What is Hannah’s success rate?"
In an instant, the system replied.
[Ding! Detecting the success rate, please wait, host!]
[Processing...]
[Processing completed!]
Soon, a number appeared above Hannah’s head: -10.
The mont Angelina saw -10, she was stunned. This was one of the lowest numbers she had ever seen. Taking a deep breath, she quietly moved her eyes away.
This was a scourge if not a walking bad luck!
anwhile, Arthur suddenly leaned toward Angelina’s ear and asked in a small voice, "What’s the number above Hannah’s head?"
Everyone in the family knew about Angelina’s system, and they depended heavily on it to decide whether they should form an acquaintance with soone. Hence, Arthur had subconsciously asked.
Just as Angelina was about to say "minus ten," she paused, and a mischievous idea flickered in her heart. Then she said, "It’s a shining hundred."
Hearing those words, Arthur’s eyes lit up imdiately. He turned toward Hannah, who was looking at him with a shy, hopeful gaze.
’This useless bitch whom I thought was dumb, has such a high success rate? I need to string her along!’
Seeing this, Arthur coughed lightly and said,
"It’s nothing. We were falsely kicked out of the base for no reason. I genuinely think there’s sothing wrong with this place." Then he asked softly, "What are you doing here, Hannah?"
The mont Hannah saw how gently Arthur was behaving toward her, she felt as if soone had struck Cupid’s arrow directly into her heart.
’How can Arthur be so cute and so gentle toward ? Maybe after the apocalypse began, he finally realized his true feelings for .’
She couldn’t help but say, "I’m here because I wanted to get inside the base, but soone abused her power to take revenge on ."
Hearing those words, Arthur imdiately patted his chest and said, "Who was this woman? Just tell her na, and I’ll take care of her for you."
Hannah imdiately teared up and said,
"It was Ivy. She broke the line and acted like she was the representative of this base, which I highly suspect she bribed the guards for. Then she bribed them again just to keep out. I don’t know what I’ve done to make Ivy hate so much."
anwhile, Angelina stared at Hannah with an amused gaze.
’This dumb bitch even knows that Ivy is the representative of the base, and yet she is thinking of going against her? Or maybe she doesn’t believe in her heart that Ivy is the representative? What kind of expression will she make once she finds out she was accusing the actual leader?’
For now, Angelina decided to remain silent and watch the show.
Her family mbers stiffened at Hannah’s words. They already knew the reality... that Ivy was extrely successful.
In fact, according to Angelina’s system, Ivy’s success number was so infinite that the system couldn’t even asure it. Compared to Ivy, Hannah was nothing.
But right now, they couldn’t flatter Ivy. So, they turned to flatter Hannah instead.
Arthur smiled broadly and said, "Ivy is arrogant. One day, I’ll teach her a good lesson on your behalf."
Hannah imdiately blushed and leaned forward, hugging Arthur.
"You’re still the best guy I’ve ever known," she whispered. Then she leaned closer to his ear and murmured, "If you want, you can spend so ti with to get rid of your frustration."
Arthur felt an invisible fire ignite in his lower belly. He wanted to bed Hannah right then and there.
