Chapter 634
“No enmity would last forever in this world, and the same goes for friendships. Look at us now. Aren’t
we on the same team?“.
Arianna did not get the chance to answer before he continued, “Don’t tell me things like blood is thicker
than water or we’re helping each other because we’re siblings. Those are bullsh*t excuses that you and
I don’t believe in. We can only sit here together to discuss our plan for one reason. We have the same
goal in mind, and this plan would benefit both of us. Am I right?”
Arianna looked at Nathaniel with a solemn gaze.
“You don’t need to look at me that way.” Nathaniel chuckled. “I told you we’re not enemies, at least not
now. You’ll always be my dearest younger sister as long as we’re after the same thing. I’ll be your older
brother who can assist you too.”
Arianna said nothing and just stared at Nathaniel in silence for a moment. Shrugging, she started,

“What are your plans then?” Nathaniel asked, smiling as he sipped on his tea.
“Get Henry to be on our team. We can help him to become the head of the Lodge family. He owes us a
favor, which would definitely be useful to us in the future.”
“How can we get him to be on our side?”
His endless questions irritated Arianna. Straightening her back, she snapped, “Aren’t I supposed to be
asking you questions? Why is it the other way around now? I saved you from debtors back then, not to
have you reap the benefits here without doing anything!”

“Who says I’m doing that?” Nathaniel put down his glass, which sounded sharp against the table.
Finally, he became serious. “I’m carrying out my plan now, but it’s a pity you’ve interrupted me.”
“Your plan?” Arianna looked around, but nothing appealed to her. The tabletop was clean, while his
laptop was still switched off. “What in the world are you doing?”
“Those things…”
He pointed to the bottles and jars of candles that had been extinguished. The mixed scents. were still
lingering in the air.
Arianna only felt that the scents were choking her. “You’re not planning on using those things to get
Henry on our side, are you?”

He continued, “Do you know what was Henry’s accusation for taking over Justin’s place as the person
