Chapter 407: There’s Always Someone Better
A blond-haired, blue-eyed man was the first to whistle at Chloe Alden. Despite the outdoor temperature nearing several degrees below zero, Chloe’s choice of attire naturally drew attention, captivating the eyes of all the foreigners around in just a few short seconds.
Seeing Chloe Alden’s bold move, Fiona Vaughn from the same group clearly refused to be outdone.
She flicked her hair, not with Chloe’s direct and captivating gaze, but with a gentle hair stroke, her neck slightly bent and her face blushing—a completely different allure.
In the eyes of foreigners, there are plenty of bold and fiery women like Chloe Alden, but Fiona Vaughn’s shy, demure demeanor had its own unique charm.
Soon, many people proactively began chatting with the both of them.
Chloe Alden didn’t hesitate to use her stunning appearance to acquire desired contact details, even letting a foreign man sign his contact information on her ivory waist.
The scene was enough to leave anyone feeling parched.
...
As soon as the game started, Chloe Alden saw how they quickly mingled with the group of foreigners, and began to feel anxious.
"Cecilia, ten minutes have passed two minutes already, what do we do? We can’t possibly follow them by stripping and batting our eyes, can we?"
"Ugh, I said we shouldn’t have made this bet. We can’t possibly compete with those two vixens."
Chloe Alden’s bold advances and alluring figure are one thing, but Fiona Vaughn’s ability to enthrall men with her delicate charm leaves few of them able to resist.
Cecilia Vaughn smiled faintly.
"No worries, just watch me."
Cecilia Vaughn carried two cups of freshly heated milk tea as she walked over.
Earlier from afar, Mona Summers, who walked with her, realized that these blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners weren’t American or British, but rather Kresslander, known for their diligence.
Although they spoke English, some of them weren’t particularly fluent, which is why Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden succeeded at first but later struggled with language barriers.
Cecilia Vaughn was highly proficient in German, yet she didn’t directly approach those men, instead choosing a woman who appeared to be the centerpiece of the group.
Smiling in fluent German, Cecilia Vaughn said, "Hello, I’m Cecilia Vaughn, a native citizen of Stellerton. Are you here for tourism?"
The stunning blond-haired beauty, who had originally scorned Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden as women clearly fishing for rich men, never expected Cecilia Vaughn to speak standard German.
The warm, familiar accent heard far away in Veridia delighted the Kresslander woman, significantly improving her attitude towards Cecilia Vaughn.
"Ah, hello, I’m Shirley."
In just a few words exchanged, the two felt an instant camaraderie.
Cecilia Vaughn’s engaging techniques naturally unveiled their whereabouts, hometown, and some basic background in conversation.
Thus, Cecilia Vaughn focused her discussion on Kressland’s cuisine and scenic spots, flattering Shirley’s hometown—a highly effective way to win favor. Despite knowing Cecilia was just trying to please her, staring into those sincere black eyes left Shirley unable to voice any skepticism.
...
Meanwhile, Fiona Vaughn and her group had already acquired roughly four men’s contact numbers.
Struggling with German, they continued their efforts in English with the German men.
The men who quickly provided contact details naturally lit up at the sight of beautiful women.
Others present showed interest in Fiona Vaughn and Chloe, but most had girlfriends beside them, making such open attempts unwise.
Furthermore, in a foreign land, two conspicuously attractive women actively seeking men’s contact details would naturally trigger some level of caution.
Coupled with language barriers, Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden’s flirting stalled.
With more than half the time gone, Fiona Vaughn felt anxious about the four contacts she shared with Chloe Alden. She glanced back to see Cecilia Vaughn in animated conversation with a blond-haired woman while Mona Summers stood beside them.
Chloe Alden chuckled, clutching her stomach.
"What’s going on? Getting a woman’s contact doesn’t count; are they planning to concede?"
"Maybe, who knows what that silly sister of mine is thinking..."
Fiona Vaughn nodded maliciously, whispering close to Chloe’s ear under the assumption that the nearby foreigners couldn’t understand Chinese.
"I think we’ve won for sure. Later, have those bystanders zoom in on Cecilia Vaughn’s face and capture how she slaps her own cheek!"
"Also, make sure she loudly admits she’s a shameless woman. Stir up those online trolls to brand her as a dog barking for westerners! That type of keyboard warrior can’t tolerate our women bowing to foreign men. I want to see how Adrian Law will save her!"
Fiona Vaughn, despite her exquisite features, spoke far more venomously than the brazen Chloe Alden!
Chloe’s eyes sparkled as the two quickly agreed.
"Brilliant plan!"
...
Cecilia Vaughn sensed Chloe Alden and Fiona Vaughn’s gaze but remained unfazed, continuing her cheerful conversation with the Kresslander woman.
The woman, noticing Chloe and Fiona’s malicious stares, kindly asked Cecilia Vaughn in German, "Miss Vaughn, what’s your relationship with those two Veridia women? I have a bad feeling about them. They collected some of our group’s phone numbers and now they’re watching you with strange eyes... could they be part of a brainwashing cult or something?"
Cecilia Vaughn was shocked by the foreign beauty’s wild imagination but figured it was understandable, considering most foreigners were religious.
She smiled gently, briefly explaining her bet with Chloe Alden and the others, though excluding the stakes, as they were a bit distasteful.
"Do you need my help?"
Shirley, surprised, offered to provide her friends’ contact details for Cecilia Vaughn.
Unhesitant, Cecilia Vaughn accepted her offer, and as Shirley introduced Cecilia’s love for and knowledge of Kresslander culture, many men, after gaining their girlfriends’ consent, shared their numbers with Cecilia Vaughn.
Chloe Alden, seeing Cecilia Vaughn gather contacts under the guidance of the blonde beauty, furiously shouted!
"Cecilia Vaughn, stop this cheating!"
