An unbothered Lariette spent the rest of the daytime with Ruediger and Madeline after returning from the Elsher family's meeting.
Before leaving, Lariette smiled meaningfully at Stephanie and Samantha. She also waved, causing their faces to darken further.
Stephanie and Samantha were obviously frustrated but, they were forced to hold their tongues. Chairman Delaney still eyed them with a warning.
"Lari, why don't you bring Eddy and Maddie out?"
"That sounds good. I'll do that, Grandpa."
Chairman Delaney suggested to Lariette on their way back. As per his proposal, she brought the cousins to one of her favorite places. The place was not far from the villa.
Lariette told Ruediger and Madeline to change into their swimsuits. She and her new husband also did something before leaving their room unoccupied.
One could never be too careful, especially when the other party was petty and vengeful.
