Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Conducting a Transaction with Payment and Delivery Completed [4]

Her action provoked Arlo Seys’s displeasure. Arlo quickly cupped the back of her head, his eyes cold as ice, and swiftly switched their positions.

Ariel Morris was bewildered when Arlo released her, and before she could feel delighted, a sense of spinning hit her. By the time she realized it, she had already been repositioned by Arlo.

She found herself leaning against the balcony railing, with Arlo looking down at her, his gaze intense and giving no room for retreat.

Arlo’s gaze was as icy as ever, devoid of any warmth. A chill from the night enveloped Ariel, and she shivered slightly, staring with wide eyes at the face in front of her—a face cold as ice, with no warmth. Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled, and her heart felt as if it was hit by something, shaking uncontrollably.

Arlo’s coldness made her feel unfamiliar and fearful.

How did the young man in the white shirt, who used to indulge and spoil her, turn into this?

Aside from his facial features, there was not a single trace of the past.

His coldness frightened her with its strangeness.

Arlo Seys...

Is Arlo really not planning to let her go?

Each villa in Royal View City is positioned quite far apart. Even though it’s impossible for others to see what’s happening on the balcony, their argument might have already been overheard. Regardless of the outcome for either her or him, Ariel truly didn’t have the nerve to become infamous.

”Arlo!” Ariel’s face turned a bit pale, her voice trembling.

Arlo’s actions paused, his thin lips pressing coldly together as he looked at her and said coldly, ”Ariel Morris, as a qualified contract performer, having forgotten the contract terms, do you think you’re qualified? Don’t forget, your retreat is the reason and excuse for me to terminate the cooperation with the Morris Clan at any time! So please understand your identity and demands! You’ve willingly signed on the dotted line, and you still need dignity?!”

If he loved her to a great extent before, now that animosity was just as intense. His harsh words left Ariel nearly breathless, her trembling fingers gradually losing strength and hanging down helplessly.

Her obedient compliance deepened the coldness in Arlo’s eyes.

He truly would have preferred her to slap him in a fit of uncontrolled anger rather than silently accept his commands and demands like this!

If today she sought someone else, a different man to sign the contract with her, would she agree to this transaction to save the Morris Clan?

Once, she was a girl he cherished deeply, bold and dominant in front of his close friends, articulate, and never submissive! Yet now, she had become so compliant, bowing down, even humble to the point of degradation...

Arlo’s heart grew colder and angrier bit by bit.

As he looked down again, focusing on Ariel’s features, the coldness consumed his rationality.

Ariel felt the icy intent in his eyes, a consuming pain spread from her heart, and her fingers, resting by her side, dug forcefully into her palm lines.

She wanted to cry, but her little pride wouldn’t allow her to shed tears now—it would only be more humiliating. At this moment, she urgently needed something from Arlo Seys; she absolutely could not offend this man.

Arlo used all his strength and even felt a faint taste of blood spreading between his lips and teeth, but Ariel only furrowed her brows slightly and did not utter the plea he wanted to hear. Arlo’s internal anger and frustration finally became uncontrollable and exploded with a bang!
