Chapter 821:
Monica observed Bella closely, a flash of triumph in her eyes as she realized she had gained the upper hand.
Bella was unaware that Monica was only bluffing. Monica was merely attempting to coax the truth out of Bella. Already on edge, Bella inadvertently revealed too much with just a slight nudge from Monica.
“Monica, I didn’t grasp the full situation until after I sent that message to you p>
A shiver rushed through Monica. She wouldn’t have known how dangerous last night had been if Bella hadn’t mentioned it. Had they been unlucky enough to cross paths with those two thugs, they would have found themselves in serious trouble.
It finally clicked for Monica why Austin had been so furious after discovering that she and Maggie had left the ship for the resort. Monica had initially thought Austin was simply annoyed, but the reality was far graver. Their safety had been seriously jeopardized.
To Monica, it seemed Bella valued her life very little.
“I’m sorry, Monica. I didn’t mean for it to happen,” Bella said, adopting an expression of feigned helplessness.
Monica scoffed internally, recognizing Bella’s act. Here was Bella, posing as a concerned friend, yet she likely harbored harmful wishes against Monica.
Still, Bella remained useful to Monica, who chose not to confront her just yet. “It’s okay. What’s done is done p>
Bella was taken aback, staring at Monica incredulously. Could Monica really be this forgiving?
Upon the cruise ship’s return to Eighfast, the Harris Group employees began their annual vacation. Yelena didn’t need to report to work and headed home with her family.

The moment they arrived home and opened the door, they found Aus standing at the entrance, meowing at them.
Yelena imagined Aus’ meows were curses.
She approached, scooped him up, and exclaimed, “Aus, I’ve missed you so much! I brought back all sorts of delicious treats for you, every single one your favorite. Come, take a look p>
Aus seemed taken aback by her words, stunned as Yelena lifted him up and then set him aside.
Yelena pulled a ziplock bag from her purse, filled with various treats as she had promised.
Upon seeing this, Aus’ demeanor shifted to excitement, weaving around Yelena’s legs repeatedly.
Yelena chuckled and said, “Alright, you can have some, but not too much or you’ll end up with a stomach ache like Lena did p>
It seemed as though Aus was smirking in amusement, as if mocking Lena.
Yelena gently tapped Aus on the head before offering him some food. Aus devoured the treat with evident pleasure.
Only after this did Yelena join the others.
With a smile, Donna asked, “Was Aus just scolding us? I read somewhere that when cats meow like that, they’re actually cursing their owners p>
Yelena responded, “That’s likely. He saw us all leave for several days and probably felt we’d left him behind. He’s understandably upset p>
