###Chapter 520 Everything You Gain, You Lose More – Part 8

"What about friends?"

Linda answered, "It's the same thing, Ivelle. But everything must be mastered to a certain extent, not too much, not less because otherwise, it will easily backfire."

Ivelle was a little discouraged. "These are all too theoretical, but when you encounter these problems personally, there is still no way to solve them."

She raised her eyebrow. "What's the matter? Tell me. After all, I am more than ten years older than you, and maybe I can help."

"What if I argued with a friend?"

She was stunned for a moment and answered her but questioning back, "Have you ever quarreled with your friends before?"

She shook her head. "Not really! Maisie and I quarreled before and most of the time I did not speak and basically did not open my mouth to refute. When her anger subsided, she would automatically come to me. This time, I don't seem to be able to tell Grace what kind of attitude she has, and mixed with Jordan, things have become a little more complicated. After thinking about it, I really couldn't figure it out."

She simply looked at her after that and asked, "Are you busy tonight? How about, let's have dinner together?"

Linda was stunned. "What a coincidence! Today my parents came to take care of my children. I was just about to go out to relax. I have company this time."

Not long enough, she packed up and they both left the company.

After shopping in the mall with Linda for a while and having something to eat, she thought it was not easy to go home just like that and since it was still early, she made an appointment to go to the bar.

"You know, I haven't been in a bar since I had a baby. I feel like I'm 70 or 80. I still have to walk around a lot in order to activate my cells and feel young again!" Linda was in a good mood and ordered a few more drinks. She chatted with Ivelle while drinking.

After a while, she drank a lot. She nearly half-squinted close to her and said, "It feels good to be young. As long as you go here like candlelight, you can attract a lot of attention."

Ivelle looked around. It was true that someone had been looking in their direction. But she did not care too much. She saw that Linda drank a little too much so she said, "Linda, drink less. It is not good for your health."

She smiled. "Don't worry, I have a high tolerance of alcohol!"

Ivelle ordered a glass of juice and took a few sips. After that, she was in a daze absent-mindedly. She saw that Linda kept looking at her phone several times. She was looking down at Ivelle's phone and said, "Ivelle, do you know what is the scariest thing in the world?"

She shook her head and she held her glass close to me that it touched my skin and said, "It's wavering. Often at times like this, the longer you wait, the most likely to lose what is most important to you in your life."

With that, she ended up on her cell phone and dialed the phone directly. Ivelle was in a hurry to rob it back, but she was stopped by a sudden voice, "Miss Weld?"

As soon as Ivelle was stupefied, Linda frowned back and became acquainted with someone she knew. For a moment, Ivelle smiled a little. "Hi, there!"

He smiled and said, "Miss Weld, this is the third time we've met. We've seen each other three times a month. It's fate, don't you think?"

Ivelle smiled and got up from her seat. She distanced herself from him and said, "Is the King's Bureau here to talk about things? Then I'll leave you alone."

With that, Ivelle tried to pull Linda away but he stopped her from doing so. He took someone with him and surrounded the two women. She frowned and looked back at him. She asked him as if she did not know what they were doing, "What does this mean?"

He was still smiling and he was looking at her, somewhat viciously. "Miss Weld is still strong on her strength to talk, and she still doesn't know her own situation," he said.

She calmed herself down and look at him. She said, "What do you mean? I think of myself and I don't seem to have offended you. What do you mean by stopping us so brazenly?"

He smiled and mumbled a few words. His eyes suddenly fell on Linda who was beside Ivelle, he said while he was sneering, "It seems that you have had a good time these years, and you are as beautiful as ever."

Ivelle was stupefied for a moment and before she could figure out what was going on, Linda said, "If you want to trouble me, just come at me and let her go first."

"Coincidentally, I'm here for both of you!" He opened his mouth and looked at Ivelle.

"Ivelle, why was Jordan kicked just after singing the pillow wind? I looked at the girl next to him today, but she was a beautiful thing in the world. If you were compared with her, if you were me, I would also kick for you. However, you are still very precious to me. Without Jordan as the backing, how about you? Why don't you consider me?"

"Ariel Lanham, are you sick?" Linda opened her mouth. She stopped Ivelle behind her and looked at him. She said, "Why are you here anyway? You don't know. Do you want to go to the state again?"

"Are you fucking threatening me?" When Ariel was in a hurry, he was full of dirty words.

Linda showed no weakness in front and said coldly, "If it was a threat, you know, don't forget how you came here. I can make you fall once, and I can make you fall twice."

The slap was so sudden that Ivelle did not react for a moment.

Linda covered her face and recently spilled blood. Ariel said in a cold voice, "I gave you a fucking face, didn't I? Can I fall in the same hole twice? You think you have the Preston family as your backer, so I can't hit you? I don't even care if you're a woman or what!"

He looked around with the men he brought said, "Take these two women to the room on the second floor."

"Ariel, do you want to die?"

Linda got slapped again.

"Cut the fucking nonsense. If the Preston family really had a way with that stupid asshole, they would have the ability to take his official." That was a really arrogant thing to say.

The noise was so loud that it attracted onlookers from nearby people, but Ariel seemed to have experience in doing such a thing and was directly dismissed by the people around him.

The two women were no match for a few big men at all, and Linda and Ivelle were almost carried to the second floor. They left them in a suite and several men left, leaving only Ariel.

The man, with a beer stomach, looked at the poor woman with a disgusting smile on his face. "I haven't played for a long time, and this time, I've had a lot of fun," he said.

Linda was so angry that she picked up something and threw it at him, but he was able to dodge it.

Fearing that she would misbehave, Ariel called in some men and tied them both to chairs.

He looked at Ivelle proudly and said, "Miss Weld, tell me about you. If you had worked with me in the first place, Jordan would have told me not to. You can still follow me. So, why bother?"

Ivelle was a little sick of this guy. She just did not want to talk to him. He sat in front of her with a chair and looked at her before he said, "But it's not too late. How about you eat and drink spicy food just like me?"

"Don't be mean, will you?" If Ivelle had not had her hands tied up at that time, she would have slapped this disgusting man in the face.

He laughed instead of being angry. He said, "With personality, no wonder Jordan was head over heels on you."

Linda satirized, "Ariel, do you never look in the mirror? Are you not so pitiful that you look like a disgusting shit? You'd better let us go, or you won't be able to bear it."
