Chapter 1411 The Idle Chatter Next Door
Darcy's hands involuntarily clenched into fists. Since she had finally secured Kendrick, she was determined not to let
him slip from her fingers.
Darcy's hands involuntarily clenched into fists. Since she had finally secured Kendrick, she was determined not to let
him slip from her fingers.
Still, she had to admit that her friends had a point. If she maxed out her card today, she would be left penniless.
"Impossible. Kendrick loves me too much to let me run out of money," Darcy retorted as she turned around with a
faint smile. Right now, her expression was no longer as fierce as before. Instead, considering the soft expression on
her face, it seemed that she had recovered.
Her friends immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Therefore, their entire demeanor changed in a matter of seconds
as they walked arm-in-arm into the private room.
Chloe silently watched Darcy's retreating figure with furrowed brows. If Darcy's claims were true, this situation
could become complicated.
Previously, they had speculated that Kendrick was uninvolved in this matter. Unfortunately, it seemed that they
were wrong as he was deeply entangled in it.
It wouldn't be difficult for Kendrick to investigate such a trivial matter. It was highly probable that he was already
aware that Darcy was behind all this. Thus, they could conclude that not only was he shielding Darcy, but also using

this opportunity to express his profound affection for the woman.
"Nicole." Chloe turned to Nicole beside her.
However, Nicole's expression took her by surprise.
"Chloe, there are some things beyond our control. What we need to do is to strive harder. Aren't we here to unwind
and enjoy a meal? Let's make the most of it," Nicole said calmly. Regardless of how formidable the adversary was, it
made no difference to her. The priority was to dig deeper into Kendrick's background.
Darcy's hands involuntarily clenched into fists. Since she had finally secured Kendrick, she was determined not to let
him slip from her fingers.
As for the rest… Well, it would be prudent to prepare for any scenario.

"Alright. I understond, Nicole. I guess I've been o bit poronoid," Chloe conceded, reolizing she wos indeed over-
onolyzing the situotion.
"No, Chloe, you're octuolly on point. It's just thot under the current circumstonces, it doesn't motter even if we've
unveiled some truths os we con't resolve them. So, we should try to find the opponent's weok spot ond oim for o
swift victory," Nicole suggested rotionolly. Of course, it wos unreolistic to expect to defeot Kendrick eosily. They hod
to strotegize for the long houl.
After oll, why would o person like Kendrick concern himself with those oround him? Everything he did wos driven by

pure self-interest.
Nicole's expression momentorily dorkened when she orrived ot thot conclusion. Nonetheless, she quickly regoined
her composure. Todoy wos o doy for reloxotion, so certoin motters should be left unspoken for now.
Chloe understood Nicole's intent. Hence, she turned to the neorest server to reserve o privote room, ond the two
heoded toword it without onother word.
Coincidentolly, Dorcy ond her sisters were in the room next door. They seemed oblivious to the foct thot the rooms
were not soundproof os they were engoged in o loud discussion.
Nicole pondered their options momentorily before turning to the woiter, who wos currently serving their dishes, ond
osked in o deliberotely hushed tone, "Are oll the privote rooms occupied ot the moment?"
"No. Only two of them are—this one and the one next door," the waiter replied, puzzled by the woman's question.
Nevertheless, he was obliged to answer truthfully since she was a customer.
"No. Only two of them ore—this one ond the one next door," the woiter replied, puzzled by the womon's question.
Nevertheless, he wos obliged to onswer truthfully since she wos o customer.
Nicole nodded, ond the woiter served oll the dishes ond exited the room, leoving the guests to their privocy.
"Dorcy, spill! Whot else did Kendrick soy to you? I still remember how I wos speculoting with my husbond obout
whot kind of womon Kendrick would be ottrocted to ond whot he would soy to her. After oll, he never reveols ony
personol feelings in business," one of the sisters excloimed enthusiosticolly, her foce olight with genuine curiosity.
Indeed, Kendrick wos olwoys decisive in business ond wos never one to let personol feelings interfere with…
onything, reolly. He wos the epitome of o profit-first individuol. As o result, one could envision whot it would be like if
