Chapter 740 Did Elise Catch Ariel’s Fancy?
“Someone outside.” The worker only brushed Elise off as he was busy with moving the painting.
Hearing this, Elise and Alexander immediately ran outside to go after the person.
However, the place was already empty by the time they reached the entrance. There was not even a shadow of a person in sight.
Elise couldn’t help but feel disappointed after letting the culprit slip away again. After all, they were here because of the counterfeit paintings that had been flooding the market.
Ariel only caught up to them now, and she reassured Elise, “I am sure you will find a way somehow. You don’t have to feel disappointed.”
“Thank you,” Elise gave her thanks as her lips pressed together into a smile.
“I had the chance to eat at a private restaurant a while ago. Would you like to try their food?” Ariel asked.
“Sure!’ Elise happily agreed to it. “I happen to be a little hungry.”
Ariel then passed her car keys to Elise. “I am not familiar with the roads in Tissote. I will let you do the driving.”
“No problem.”
The women were already in the car when Danny came out of the building.
“Where are we meeting up at?” Excited, he sprawled on the window of the passenger seat.
“Did I say you are invited?” Ariel wiggled her eyebrows before she turned to Elise. “We can go now.”
“Bye!” Elise waved at Danny. After she turned on the car engine, she drove off, leaving Danny screaming and chasing after them.
He chased after them for a brief second before he accepted the fact that he had been abandoned by the women.
As he turned his head, he saw Alexander leaving the exhibition hall. He quickly went to Alexander and said, “I didn’t bring my car. You will have to give me a ride.”
“Where are you heading to?” Alexander asked indifferently.
“Where else? Of course I’m going to eat with Elise and Ariel.”
“That is not on my way,” Alexander coldly rejected him. “I have to make a trip to the company.”
Danny somehow was surprised to hear this. “Are you not joining them?”
Thinking that this was a dumb question to answer, Alexander peeled his brother’s hand off him and walked away without saying anything.
Just like that, Danny was left to stand there alone. His head was a mess as he looked in the direction Elise had driven off to.
Ariel was a proud woman who usually looked down on him and the other business partners. Why was someone like her going out of her way today to invite Elise to have a meal together?
Come to think of it, the business partners were all young and handsome men. Yet, she didn’t seem to care to look at any of them even a second longer. She had also refused all the men that had ever shown interest in her.
And the most important thing of all was how she didn’t react the least bit when she saw him in his birthday suit the other day.
!!!
Danny finally came to a conclusion. Does Ariel like women?! Wouldn’t Elise be in danger, then?!
He was scaring himself the more he let his thoughts roam free. He turned around to stop Alexander, but the older of the siblings had already started his car and driven away without a care in the world.
Danny started to huff and puff in anger. After giving it some thought, he quickly took out his phone and made a call. “Hello? Jamie? I need you to help me check a car!”
Even if his eldest brother didn’t care, there was no way Danny could sit back and watch a tragedy unfold.
He would never let Ariel steal away his wonderful, darling sister-in-law!

The women were seated at a table in the private restaurant when Ariel personally poured Elise some wine. “You seem knowledgeable about oil paintings, Miss Sinclair. May I know who your teacher was?”
