Chapter 1492 Taking Advantage

Meanwhile, Aaron was speeding in his car when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached for his phone with the other.

When he saw that it was from an anonymous number, he decided to not accept the call. However, after the call was automatically rejected due to him not answering, the caller called a second time. Left without a choice, he stopped the car abruptly and finally answered in an exasperated tone, “Who is this?”

Nico didn’t mind him being rude. In fact, she was delighted by it. The more upset he was, the stronger his feelings for Arielle were. That way, there was a higher chance of them working together.

“I’m Nico,” she replied candidly. Aaron furrowed his brows. Nico? I don’t know her at all. Holding that thought, his tone worsened. “I don’t know you!”

Just when he was about to end the call, Nico read his mind and remarked, “I’m the daughter of the general, Nico. The one you’re supposed to marry.” Worried that he would hang up on her, she quickly added, “I know you like Arielle. So, I have a deal for you.”

Upon hearing her proposal, Aaron asked in a grim tone, “What kind of deal?” “Let’s talk about it face to face. It’s hard to discuss over the phone,” Nico answered with a raised voice.

Curious to know what she had in mind, Aaron took down the venue of their meeting before ending the call. Having heard the voice over the phone, Nico curled her lips. He’s definitely something. If I hadn’t already fallen for someone, there might be a chance I’ll have a crush on him.

After putting her earpiece away, she drove to their meeting venue. By the time she arrived, Aaron was already there waiting for her. With a slight grin, she gradually walked up to him.

Before Nico could say a word, Aaron asked, “Are you Nico?”

She nodded. “I am.” Pointing at a seat, Aaron gestured for her to sit. After she settled down, he went straight to the point. “What kind of a deal are you talking about?”

Since this was the first time someone ever dared to make a deal with him, he was curious to find out what it was. “Your Royal Highness, you fancy Arielle, while I feel the same way about her bodyguard. In that case, why don’t we work together?”

At that moment, Aaron didn’t know whether he should be happy that the woman his mother and grandmother approved of wasn’t into him or feel angry that she preferred Vinson over him.

Whatever it was, he was filled with mixed emotions.

He looked at her with a raised brow. “What do you propose?”

He was interested to hear her out. If it was feasible, he would go along with her plan and hold back his men from kidnapping Arielle since it was an extremely drastic measure.

Having spent time with Arielle recently, he had a good grasp of her character. He was aware that once he had indeed kidnapped her, there was no going back from it.

He was fearful that Arielle would hate him for it.

“You want Arielle, while I want the bodyguard. All we need to do is to make a move on our respective targets.”

Aaron was stumped.

If he had been able to do that, Vinson would have long been gone.

Nevertheless, he scrutinized Nico for a moment as he cycled through the avenues of how they could cooperate. If she was able to capture Vinson’s heart, Arielle would definitely feel disappointed in the latter. Subsequently, he could take advantage of her moment of weakness. The more he thought about it, the more brilliant the plan sounded to him. In the end, both of them would get what they want.

“Fine, let’s do it.”

“It’s a pleasure working with you.” As Nico extended her hand, Aaron gave it a shake.

At that moment, the silence between them was telling.
