The little cousin before him was a girl even shorter than his sister-in-law.

Though flat-chested, she didn't appear thin. Her body was soft and fragrant, carrying the delicate, well-mannered air of an obedient girl.

Most importantly, her features bore some resemblance to his aunt, Eloise.

Even if she wasn't as exceptionally stunning as the women in his own family, if others were school beauties, she was at least a class beauty.

Luis naturally couldn't control the wicked thoughts rising in his heart. No matter what, he decided to lay some groundwork first and improve her impression of him.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Ariana's face flushed red, a mix of shyness, excitement, and barely contained exhilaration.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Your brother-in-law isn't going to eat you~"

As Luis spoke, noticing her affectionate expression, he reached out to pinch her soft, tender cheek, savoring the delicate, almost fragile skin of his young cousin in her adolescence.

Similarly, Ariana blushed but didn't refuse, only biting her lower lip slightly. Her charming appearance sent waves of lust surging through Luis's eyes. Even if she wasn't some top-tier girl, this kind of refined, obedient young woman was still appealing to men—especially when one had impure intentions, enjoying the particular thrill it brought.

"I didn't say any of that~"

As they talked, they reached the second floor and settled in a shop specializing in phone accessories. The first step was to take out the phone and apply a screen protector.

After sitting down, Luis noticed Ariana looking around curiously. He immediately nudged her slender waist and said with a laugh, "Go pick out phone cases. At least two—that's your mission, understand?"

"Okay!"

Ariana gave an affectionate smile and happily began browsing around the store.

Today, she had her hair in a small ponytail and wore a simple sky-blue dress, plain yet pure, like the girl next door from a comic book.

The little girl's parents strictly supervised her studies. Given Logan's poor, rustic scholar demeanor and Eloise's habit of counting every penny, she probably rarely came into the city.

Visiting a mall like this was even rarer, so to her, this was a dazzling world of wonders. She drifted through the store like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

"Well, if it isn't Avery's sugar daddy~"

A cold, mocking voice suddenly rang out. Luis looked up, his eyes lighting up.

It was Ojhaka, the one who'd previously been at odds with his sister-in-law, now walking in arm-in-arm with another fat man.

She was dressed seductively and sexily; honestly, in the past, Luis would have thought she was out of his league.

The fat man was also dressed in branded clothes. He glanced over but didn't speak—he'd already remembered this guy from last time.

"Not bad, for a wastrel."

Ojhaka said somewhat helplessly.

She would have loved to mock him, but Luis had already demonstrated his financial strength.

She knew perfectly well that the fat man beside her couldn't compare.

She'd exhausted all her tricks pleasing him last night, and he'd only given her a few thousand a month, no gifts—incredibly stingy.

The fat man just grunted and didn't say anything more.

After all, men were relatively rational; scenes of jealousy and rivalry were rare. At the very least, offending another wealthy man over the woman beside him wasn't realistic.

Just then, Ariana ran over and asked, "Brother-in-law, is this phone case nice?"

In her hand was a pink case, the kind young girls liked.

Normally, these would cost twenty or thirty dollars, but this shop offered custom rhinestone and 3D printing. Each case was unique, and for extra money, you could even get custom designs. So the most basic ones started at ten dollars, and the nicer ones went up to fifty.

Ojhaka glanced at the brand-new iPhone 15 on the table, naturally aware of its value. Her expression shifted, heart sour with envy.

Avery and Leah were one thing—with a little effort, Ojhaka could match them in looks.

But those two immature girls had big breasts; even if Ojhaka lost out, she hadn't felt too resentful. Now, looking at this one in front of her…

Sure, she had fair, delicate skin, but she wasn't that pretty, and her cheap clothes clearly marked her as a country girl.

"You look around here. I'll go upstairs to check on the store's business."

With that, the fat man left first.

Ojhaka then crossed her arms, looking Ariana up and down before sneering, "Oh, tired of city girls? Switched to a country bumpkin now?"

"Tsk tsk… No chest, no ass. What's even good about her?"

Ojhaka was burning with jealousy. Ariana was momentarily stunned by her words. Seeing Ojhaka's bright, alluring appearance, she felt a pang of inferiority.

Timidly lowering her head, she asked softly, "Brother-in-law, is this your friend?"

"Calling him 'brother-in-law' again—who are you trying to fool?"

Ojhaka mocked rudely, "No chest, no ass, and you think you can seduce men like others do?"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Luis, her eyes burning with unmistakable envy. "I gotta say, sugar daddy, your taste has seriously downgraded. Wasting so much money on a little girl like this is no different from throwing it all away."

"What, do I have to dress like a whore, like you?"

Ariana, who had always seemed gentle and obedient, suddenly snorted, stepped forward, and clung to Luis's arm. Even with her flat chest, she provocatively rubbed it against his arm.

Even if she didn't know where this crazy woman came from, she could clearly sense the hostility.

Even a fool could tell she was being mocked. Luis was somewhat startled by Ariana's sudden move.

Ariana looked Ojhaka up and down, a proud smile on her face. "What, jealous? My sugar daddy is young, rich, and handsome."

"And you? Oh, such a beauty~ Not even our school belle is as pretty as you, or as good at dressing up."

Ojhaka's face darkened. She was a classic green-tea type—she certainly didn't take this as a compliment.

Ariana shifted her tone, saying with a hint of disdain: "What a pity. She is a young lady from a wealthy family, while you… you just look like a working girl."

"My husband and I are extremely comfortable together, unlike some people who have to sleep with some fat old man even older than their own father."

Luis was stunned by these words, thinking to himself how Ariana looked so well-behaved, yet her combat prowess was so fierce.

He had been hearing from his Mother-in-law recently that his sister-in-law had been constantly complaining about Ariana hitting a rebellious phase. It seemed now that those concerns weren't unfounded.

With eloquence like this, her future was limitless; she was definitely destined to surpass her Mother-in-law, Ruth.

Her contrast was just too great. She looked so sweet, so delicate, and pitiful, yet the moment she opened her mouth, she was so aggressive and sarcastic, hitting all the right notes.

Not only was Luis stunned, but even Ojhaka was somewhat taken aback.

Ariana revealed a scornful smile, seeming to look down on her a little. She then put on a harmless smile, blinked her big, innocent eyes, and said:

"So it seems sister is really quite pitiful. A perfectly good body has to be ruined by an old man like that."

"I've heard that fat men have short dicks. He must be like a cicada pupa then. At that age, he's probably all soft and weak, unable to perform."

"Ah… it's really quite sad to say. What sister is earning must be emotional distress compensation, I suppose."

"No, wait. For sister to earn this money, she probably has to act utterly satisfied, completely intoxicated. That should count as a performance fee, really."

Luis was utterly dumbfounded listening to this. When Ojhaka processed it, her face turned pale with anger, her small fists even clenching and twitching spasmodically.

But Ariana clearly still had more in the tank. The moment her little mouth opened, it was like a machine gun:

"Calculating it that way, sister is truly pitiable. Hey, what you earn is hard-earned money too. I really shouldn't look down on you."

The most classic thing about Ariana was that utterly harmless appearance. Honestly, at the same age, neither her sister-in-law Leah nor Avery could project the same kind of feeling.

Ariana pouted her little mouth, putting on a deeply apologetic expression, and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't have said those things. But since we've met by chance, I still want to wish you well."
