The Real Heiress is Coming Back! Novel - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Chapter 170 Hannah glanced out the window. Normally, the north wind would be howling at this hour, but tonight was unusually peaceful, not even a single snowflake drifting by. Where's this blizzard she's talking about?' she wondered. Could she be any more obvious with her lies? Hannah thought to herself. "Grandma. Mr. Thole is way out of our league. He wouldn't want to crash at our place, so don't push it, you'll just make things awkward for him," Arthur said. Arthur was warming up to Barnaby, but having him stay over tonight was still way too soon.

Honestly, they should at least wait until Hannah's grown up. Normally, with Arthur laying it out like that, Barnaby would just agree and let it go. But Barnaby didn't say a word. He just shot Arthur a sideways glance, then sauntered over to the wine rack, picked out a bottle of XO, poured himself a glass, and took a slow sip, every move oozing with that aristocratic vibe. 70 "Oh, right, I totally overlooked that. How could we possibly ask Mr. Thole to lower himself by staying here?" Aurelia suddenly realized, turning to Dorian.

"Dorian, hurry and call the Deaxen Hotel, see if the presidential suite is available and reserve it for Mr. Thole." Dorian made the call right away. A moment later, he hung up and said it was all set. Aurelia handed Hannah the room number and said, "Go ahead and escort Mr. Thole." "Okay," Hannah agreed without a second thought. She went upstairs to fetch Barnaby's medicine, then headed back down to the first floor. "I'm not coming home tonight." That was exactly what Aurelia had in mind. She smiled and said, "Make sure you keep Mr. Thole company." Arthur was speechless.

'Hannah, can't you at least play hard to get? You're supposed to be the girl here, Arthur grumbled inwardly. "Isn't this basically the same as letting Barnaby crash at our place?' he thought, 'Great, now we're out both the girl and the guest. Talk about a double loss,' Arthur sighed to himself. "Had a couple drinks, so calling a driver's not really an option. Arthur, how about giving me a ride?" Barnaby said, setting down his glass, a devilish smirk tugging at his lips.

At that moment, Barnaby set down his glass and turned to Arthur, a devilish smirk playing at the corner of his mouth, Arthur didn't know what to say. 'He's so doing this on purpose!' Arthur thought, totally exasperated. "Is he always this shameless?" Arthur leaned over to Hannah and whispered. Hannah glanced at Barnaby and said, "Totally." Arthur was speechless. For the sake of those two pending investment deals, Arthur had to suck it up and personally drive them both to the Deaxen Hotel.
