Chapter 1393 Pulling Into the Water

Ye Bufan explained the basic swimming strokes, then said, "You can try it yourself now."

"Okay, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, you have to save me."

Alicia finished speaking and started trying to swim in the pool, but as soon as she floated on the water, she immediately sank.

Seeing this, Ye Bufan quickly reached out and pulled her out of the water, but in his haste, his left hand just happened to press against that spot, feeling incredibly soft.

Alicia seemed startled, and she threw her arms around his neck, the two of them pressed tightly together.

At the same time, outside the hotel, a flash of light appeared, and several shadowy figures holding cameras snapped away rapidly.

Alicia wasn't surprised by this; she had posted so many photos and information on her public account, even revealing the hotel's location. It would have been strange if no paparazzi had come to take pictures.

Ye Bufan's Divine Sense had long detected those peeping eyes, but he didn't react. Since Alicia wanted to make Olivier's head even greener, she naturally had to create some commotion.

"Dear Ye, swimming is so dangerous, I don't think I can learn."

As Alicia spoke, their faces were very close, almost close enough to feel each other's breath. This situation, when captured in photos, would appear as intimate as could be.

With the beautiful woman in his arms, Ye Bufan could see the bottomless chasm with a glance. The way they were embracing was a great stimulation to his every nerve.

"Then just use a swimming ring. This isn't something you can learn in a day or two.

You come down first, I'll go get you a swimming ring."

"I don't need that. It doesn't feel good," Alicia said intimately. "Dear, can you swim?"

"Of course."

Ye Bufan nodded. He grew up in a water town in Jiangnan, so his swimming skills were naturally excellent. Now that he was a Martial Saint, it would be no problem for him to stay underwater for three days and three nights without breathing.

"Then will you take me swimming?"

"How do I take you?"

Ye Bufan was a little surprised.

"Just carry me on your back!"

Alicia said, leaving Ye Bufan's embrace and going directly behind him. She jumped onto his back, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and pressed her cheek against his.

"Uh…"

Although the visual stimulation was gone, the astonishing elasticity from his back (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) made Ye Bufan's heart race. Even though he was in the pool, a raging fire seemed to burn within him.

"Dear, swim quickly."

Alicia's breath was like orchids in his ear.

Ye Bufan had never tried this way of swimming before, but it wasn't too difficult for him, so he started swimming in the pool.

"Dear, you are truly amazing!"

Alicia lay on his back, giggling uncontrollably, while the cameras outside kept clicking away.

At the Berwick Family, Olivier and Denniston stood in the room with gloomy expressions. On the computer in front of them were intimate photos of Ye Bufan and Alicia together.

"Sister, this shameless woman is openly messing around with that Ye. If this continues, it will bring shame upon our Berwick Family."

Olivier's face was terribly grim, his eyes almost spitting fire with anger.

He had just proposed yesterday, and now, in the blink of an eye, Alicia had caused so many scandalous photos to appear. This was simply a slap in his face, a slap in the face of their entire Berwick Family.

Now the whole world knew that his fiancée, Olivier's fiancée, was messing around with a Chinese man outside.

Denniston's expression was also very grim: "This woman is clearly doing this on purpose. Her goal is to put pressure on our Berwick Family. If we propose to break off the engagement, it will be exactly what she wants."

"But if this continues, our Family's reputation will truly be ruined."

Olivier cried out in frustration, "I'm calling Gomes now. The engagement was just set yesterday, he can't just watch that woman do as she pleases outside."

"It's useless, he's an old fox!" Denniston said, "I just called him. Gomes said he already knew about this and was very angry.

However, Alicia's phone is currently turned off, so there's no way to call her home. He said he would reprimand her severely afterwards, and that this kind of thing would never happen again."

Olivier cursed, "Bullshit, he's just trying to appease us!"

"You're right. Gomes is known as an old fox; he has his own agenda."

Olivier asked, "What does he want? He just agreed to the engagement yesterday, does he intend to break it off?"

"He won't break off the engagement," Denniston said. "Presumably, this old fox has already found out about the Ghost Witch Sect and knows Ye Bufan's strength, so he doesn't want to openly fall out with him.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) From the Perran Family's perspective, the current situation is very favorable for them.

They benefit from marrying into our Berwick Family, and if we break off the engagement and Alicia gets together with Ye, they will still benefit."

Olivier said in annoyance, "Then what should we do? We can't let them take all the advantages."

"Wanting to play both sides and reap benefits from both, it's not that easy," Denniston revealed a cold smile. "If he doesn't want to get involved, we can drag him into it.

Gomes is an old fox, we can't do anything about him, but that doesn't mean everyone in their Family has brains."

Olivier asked, puzzled, "What does Sister mean?"

"We can start with Cassiano of the Perran Family. That guy is a good-for-nothing, he knows nothing but eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. More importantly, he has no brains and always looks down on his sister, Alicia.

You contact him immediately, give him some benefits, and have him find someone to kill that Ye."

Olivier said, "Sister, you just said Cassiano is a good-for-nothing. How could he possibly kill Ye Bufan? The chance of this succeeding is almost zero."

"Can't you use your brain?" Denniston glared at him. "As long as Cassiano sends people to act, whether it succeeds or not, our goal will be achieved."

"I understand." Olivier's eyes lit up, understanding his sister's intention. "If Cassiano can kill Ye Bufan, that would be best. If he can't, he will also directly fall out with Ye Bufan, which can drag the entire Perran Family into trouble."

"Exactly. As long as Cassiano takes action, our plan will be a success."

Olivier said excitedly, "That guy lost a lot of money recently and owes a huge gambling debt, and he doesn't dare to tell that old fox Gomes.

As long as we give him money now, he'll do anything, and just like you said, this good-for-nothing has always been conceited and never put his sister, Alicia, in his eyes."

Denniston nodded: "Go ahead, give him a little more benefit if necessary."

"Understood, Sister. I'll call him now."

Olivier took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected, and a fawning male voice came from the other end: "Brother-in-law, I was just about to call you. I've had bad luck these past few days and lost some money. Can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back as soon as I win it back."
