Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: I Never Thought of Using You!

Arlo Seys’ cold gaze suddenly turned to her, and upon seeing her innocent face, a deep mockery curved at his lips, ”Ariel Morris, eight years ago, wasn’t it because of the Morris Family crisis that you approached me deliberately?”

Ariel Morris froze and quickly defended herself, ”No! It’s not what you think! Arlo Seys, back then I pursued you out of pure admiration... How could it be related to the Morris Family crisis?” The words on Ariel Morris’ lips suddenly fell silent, she looked at him, utterly incredulous, ”You... you suspect I drugged myself, arranged that hotel scene, and tried to manipulate you into saving the Morris Family?”

Arlo Seys flicked away the burnt ash of his cigarette, his eyes cold, ”Isn’t that the case? Ariel Morris!”

It wasn’t that he suspected her, but she indeed did it!

Arlo Seys felt suffocated and miserable, recalling that night eight years ago in the Imperial Garden Hotel, his whole body felt plunged into an icy grave. To be schemed against by someone he liked, who could understand that pain?

Ariel Morris instantly raised her eyes to look directly into his, gently shaking her head, ”No... Arlo Seys, I told you, I never intended to use you.”

Arlo Seys’ fingertips paused as he looked at her, ”Eight years ago, was the text I received not sent from your phone?”

Ariel Morris bit her lip, her gaze faltered a little, and after a while, she softly uttered a word, ”...Yes.”

Arlo Seys sneered mockingly, ”For the Morris Family, you could even sell your own body! You truly are Damien Morris’ biological daughter, truly the Morris Clan’s good daughter!”

Ariel Morris lowered her eyes, silent, yet her body trembled fiercely.

Arlo Seys’ words stabbed like a sharp blade straight to her heart. She barely had a sense of presence within the Morris Family; she was merely adopted by them, yet almost no one outside of the family knew she was not their biological child.

But Arlo Seys was sneering at her as the Morris Clan’s good daughter, this heart-piercing pain instantly spread throughout her body, her throat dry and bitter, the words to refute stuck unspoken.

How could she possibly have drugged herself, how could she use such means to trap Arlo Seys?

Arlo Seys was the warmest ray of sunshine in Ariel Morris’ life!

Ariel Morris didn’t know how she walked out of Arlo Seys’ room. She slowly went downstairs, reached the living room, curled up on the sofa, and started to sob quietly.

Meanwhile, Arlo Seys, after she left, stood on the balcony for more than half an hour in the cold wind, his head increasingly painful and unbearable, so he went downstairs to find the household medicine box.

The household medicine box was usually placed by Aunt Forest, so he had to go down to get it.

When Arlo Seys went downstairs, he saw Ariel Morris lying on the sofa, curled up, her body slightly twitching.

Arlo Seys coldly withdrew his gaze, went downstairs, found the medicine box, opened it, and selected some hangover medicine. His eyes inadvertently fell again on Ariel Morris, but from this perspective, he could only see her back.

Her body was curled up like a ball, without any covering, possibly feeling a bit cold, and she hugged herself, shivering slightly.

Arlo Seys finally realized that she seemed to have fallen asleep?

For some reason, Arlo Seys’ mind recalled the scene where she had been slapped hard by that scumbag Juan Campbell. He heard the slap from afar, imagining the force of that hit.

And today at Era, when he angrily grabbed her hand, he saw that her hand seemed injured too.

Arlo Seys lowered his head, like a ghost, he took some herbal ointment for bruises from the medicine box, carefully read the instructions, and then walked towards the sleeping figure on the sofa.

He walked to her side, quietly squatted down, and then gently applied the ointment to the injury on her face.

Halfway through applying the ointment, the person sleeping on the sofa twitched violently, Arlo Seys immediately withdrew his hand, turned around intending to flee.

He had just stood up when he realized Ariel Morris was still asleep, sighed in relief, then continued to squat down to apply the ointment to her.

”Arlo... Arlo... I really miss you...”
