Chapter 172 Planning to Steal His Girl?
Seeing the living room outside the master bedroom turned into a gaming room, Bethan put down her phone and unplugged the main power strip.
Arthur was bouncing around, trying to stop her, but Bethan’s cold stare froze him in his tracks. “If you want to get rid of your sleep disorder for good, this gaming room has to be far from the bedroom.”
Just then, Bethan’s phone rang.
She reached for it, but Arthur, with his quick hands, snatched it first and answered, “Hello.”
On the other end, Hugh’s gloomy voice came through. “Who are you?”
Arthur shot back defiantly, “So full of yourself. Who the hell are you?”
Just by the tone and expression on Arthur’s face as he answered the phone, Bethan knew it must be High op7:02

She reached out for the phone, but Arthur had already hung up.
With a headache, Bethan rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
She was well aware that Arthur didn’t like Hugh.
Still, she seriously reminded him, “Mr. Locke, respecting others means not answering their calls or snooping at their phones without permission.”
Arthur spread his hands, looking innocent. “I’m used to it. Next time, give me a heads-up earlier.”
Bethan was left speechless.
Oh well, she’d just have to have another row with Hugh
later.
Right now, her client was her top priority.
Her eyes landed on the bedding of the big bed. “Do you have any other colored bedding at home?” Bethan asked.

Arthur pointed at the cabinet.

After rummaging around for a while, Bethan found a new set and tossed it on the bed. “Change the bedding, remove the scented candles on the table, and replace the techy headboard,” she ordered.
Arthur picked up a pillow and sat on the bedside table. “I don’t know how to do this stuff,” he said.
Bethan stared at him silently for a moment and then started to change the sheets and quilt covers herself.
Meanwhile, Arthur was fussing over his handsome face on his phone.
Downstairs at the same time, Hugh got out of the car with a gloomy face.
“Are you sure they’re on the 11th floor?” he asked Jacob.
Jacob nodded. “Mr. Cavill, our investigation shows that Mr. Locke did buy an apartment on the 11th floor of this unit a few days ago. The sports car in the parking space next to Mr. Martin’s also belongs to Mr. Locke.”

“Go back first.” Hugh said.
Before his words fully faded, he was already in the
elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Mason jumped in.
They glanced at each other, and Mason turned his head.
away.
Hugh, with his gloomy face, didn’t say a word to Mason, either.
When the elevator reached the 9th floor and Hugh didn’t get off, Mason looked back and noticed Hugh’s terrible
expression.
On the 11th floor, they both stepped out.
Hugh glanced at Mason, then rang the doorbell.
Arthur opened the door. Seeing Hugh and Mason standing there, he tried to shut it quickly.

Mason followed in.
Without saying a word, Hugh headed straight for the master bedroom.
As he caught sight of Bethan making the bed, the darkness on Hugh’s face deepened into an even more menacing scowl.
Holding back his irritation, Hugh walked up to Bethan, took the pillow from her hand, and said, “It’s late. Come home with me.”
Bethan knew Hugh was at the end of his rope.
She picked up the scented candle on the bedside table and was about to leave with Hugh.
Before going, she reminded Arthur, “Remember to change the headboard tomorrow.”
Arthur blocked her way. “Leaving so soon? You haven’t fixed my pillow yet.”
Hugh shot Arthur a warning look. “My wife is your actor, not your maid!”

Then he took Bethan’s hand and left.
After they left, Mason asked Arthur, “Planning to steal his girl?”
“What are you talking about?” Arthur replied.
