[Chapter 21]

Zara covered her face and looked at Karen in disbelief. "I can't believe you hit me because of that loser? It was obvious that I was sticking up for you."

Zara's words just now could easily have caused her to miss out on Alex's fortune. If only she could get Alex, her life would change massively for the better. For Karen, who was obsessed with marrying into a rich family, losing this opportunity just wasn't acceptable.

Zara continued, "I'm doing you a favor right now, you know."

"What are you talking about? Alex is my boyfriend now. Zara, please treat him with respect." Karen said as she walked toward Alex. She snuggled up against Alex's chest and glared at Zara.

Alex also hadn't expected Karen to stand up for him against Zara.

If he stayed here, he knew the situation would get worse, so he persuaded the two of them to make their peace with each other, and then he left.

With Alex gone, Karen gradually calmed down and started to feel a little guilty about hitting Zara.

Zara giggled when she saw that Karen didn't know how to apologize to her.

Karen saw Zara laughing and asked, "Zara, are you all right?" I just hit Zara, she thought. Why is she laughing? Has the heavy blow to her head had caused some brain damage?

"Karen, I know what you're planning. You hit me just now because you wanted Alex to listen to you, right?" Zara thought that this was Karen's plan. She rubbed her face, which was red and sore, and complained, "Look Karen, even if you wanted to get his attention, you hit me much too hard. My face is burning and numb."

Only then did Karen heave a sigh of relief. Luckily, Zara didn't seem to have any brain damage.

"All right, I did hit you too hard. Please don't hate me. Just wait, once I've got him where I want him, I'll make sure that you benefit too." Karen gently caressed Zara's face as she spoke.

Zara replied, "Of course. I know that this guy, Robert is from a rich family. When it happens, I know you'll give me thousands of dollars won't you?" Zara blinked at Karen.

However, Zara didn't realize that the person Karen was referring to was not Robert.

"Of course," Karen smiled. As long as everything works out with Alex, tens of thousands of dollars will be nothing, she thought to herself.

The two cousins quickly forgot about the previous incident.

Zara continued, "That's right. Didn't you say before that a super-rich person had been to your bank? Has he been there in the last few days? Can you get his number for me?" Zara's eyes were sparkling, her heart was filled with anticipation.

Of course, you'd chase after him. It takes luck to find such a rich man, Karen thought. "What do you want his cell phone number for?" She asked.

"It's difficult to find a rich man. Of course, I have to chase this one. I just need his contact information, then I'll do everything I can to get a date with him." Zara said thoughtfully.

"Oh." Karen considered Zara's words and became anxious. "He hasn't come in for a few days. When he does, I'll get his cell phone number for you."

"Great, thanks, Karen." Zara smiled sweetly and continued, "I really want to meet that eligible rich guy as soon as possible. I'm imagining him to be very handsome, but it doesn't matter if he isn't, as long as he has money. I want someone as rich as him by my side."

Karen secretly rejoiced. Luckily, Zara knew nothing about Alex's situation and she found that especially funny. Zara, the eligible rich guy that you dream of is Alex. You said you want to date him and yet you treat him as a nobody, she thought to herself.
