Arno returns to the office with a mysterious smile, and walks to Poppy's office.
Poppy stops walking and also looks at him with a smile. "Any good news?"
Arno sits down and says mysteriously, "it is good news. I found something."
Poppy leans back, and thinks about it for a while. But she can't figure it out. "What do you mean?"
"I just went out for business. Guess who I saw?"
"Who?" The subject he gives is too broad for her to think about.
"Bryant."
Poppy feels that there must be something special. She asks, "what did you find?"
"He hides a mistress in Poly Garden. I think she has been pregnant for six or seven months." Arno says seriously, "does this discovery helpful for you?"
Poppy's beautiful eyes show a sense of tricky, and she taps again and again on the table. "Of course, it's helpful. It's a good news for me, but it shouldn't be made use of yet."
"Why?"
"My heartless father has always wanted a son to inherit his family business, but Hilda is too old to get pregnant. I know he would find a mistress to give him a son." Thoughtful Poppy has thought about this earlier.
"You want to wait until that baby is born?" Arno tries to think about it in the way like hers.
"Clever! I just have to wait for the baby to be born. And it's better to be a boy. That would be an enough chip for Bryant to fight against Hilda.
