How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 41: New Community Member
Chapter 41: Chapter 41: New Community Member
Two days later...
Since being dragged into the novel server room, Claudia had been a little restless these two days. As a result of changing too many storylines, she now feels truly one with this body as if she were the real Claudia. Luckily, in the near future, she wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of saving the life of someone in the Scarlet Community. However, it still feels strange why all the victims came from members of their own community. Then, the perpetrator who harmed all her friends was an acquaintance of Harris’s.
Claudia was busy spinning her pen every time she was thinking critically. The server warning gave her a headache, not to mention the backlog of hotel work due to a three-day business trip. Feeling deja vu because her work in the real world always piles up and makes her work overtime. The difference is that in this world, he can still ask Sarah for help, even though it’s not too much.
Looking at the desk calendar, soon he had to hold the hotel’s twentieth anniversary. Unexpectedly, he had to be responsible for everything starting from taking care of the list of invited guests, decorations, food menus to be served by VIP guests, and much more.
"Sarah, while I was travelling, were there any problems at the hotel other than the reports of this backlog of staff?" For a moment, Claudia stretched her arms.
"No. However, the members of the Scarlet Community insisted on meeting you today."
Claudia rolled her eyes as she rested her head on the table lazily. "Why doesn’t anyone care about me? Even though I just came back from a business trip."
"Who knows. "What is certain is that they are very curious about what you and your husband did during the official trip."
"What do you mean?"
Sarah scratched her head with an innocent expression. "I’m also actually curious whether your relationship is getting more intimate or not. Moreover, you often spend time together in the room..."
Claudia suddenly hit the table with a glare. "What do you mean Sarah? So, now you’re thinking dirty too?"
"I didn’t mean that–"
"You should do well while I’m away. In fact, that’s all you think!"
"But, I’m curious. Do you really love your husband?"
"If I don’t love my husband, why would I marry him!"

In accordance with the wishes of the Scarlet Community members, Claudia worked half a day and then gave up her time to hold this unimportant meeting. Especially now that Claudia has quite a busy job, can she take herself off from this meeting?
The atmosphere at the community meeting was a little different than usual. This time Claudia could see Alice’s happy smile. Even though all this time Alice always had a gloomy face.
"It’s really cool that Alice likes to smile now," said Larissa.
Alice looked down while pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I still don’t think I can be free from that bastard, Your Majesty." Her eyes twinkled for a moment as she stared at her friend’s figure. "This is all thanks to Claudia protecting me at that time."
Claudia responded with a polite bow. "I just don’t want to lose even one of my friends. You yourself know what our community motto is, right?"
"By the way, today there is a new member who wants to join us," said Alice enthusiastically.
Claudia furrowed her brows. "Why did you invite a new member without telling me first?"
Larissa laughed gracefully while covering her mouth with a fan. "You’re busy on your honeymoon with your husband. How could we disturb your romantic moment!"
"Yes, they are very romantic indeed!"
Hearing this loud voice that sounded familiar, Claudia immediately turned around to welcome the arrival of one of her friends who almost died a few days ago. Her smile was wide open, he spontaneously walked slowly towards her friend who looked happy.
"You’re back, Clarissa!" said Claudia, hugging Clarissa tightly.
"Of course. Now no one controls me anymore. Moreover, my father really agrees with me joining you again."
Larissa also got up from the chair and hugged Clarissa’s body warmly. "Welcome back. Our community still lacks members."
Alice also didn’t want to lose. But her reaction was much more dramatic than Claudia’s. She cried while hugging Clarissa tightly.
"Clarissa, I thought you really forgot about us."
Clarissa chuckled. "How could I forget you? I miss holding many events with you."
"By the way, what exactly happened to you? From what I heard on the news, you and Claudia were almost killed by your brother."
Clarissa exhaled weakly as she sat in the empty chair. "Actually, I still find it hard to believe that my brother was the traitor. Moreover, from what I’ve seen so far, he’s always busy working."
"Then, what about your father?" asked Larissa with a worried look.
"Recently he has been very lethargic and still in shock. But, don’t worry, I managed to calm him down. Yesterday I even took him on vacation for the day."
Clarissa smiled a mischievous smile while looking at Claudia who looked stressed because of work. "Until now I am still grateful because Harry saved my and Claudia’s lives."
"But, I also thank the killer who killed Kael at that time. "If it weren’t for that assassin, Kael would still want to target me endlessly," added Alice.
Clarissa snapped her fingers. "Perhaps..."

On the other hand, Harry called Harris to meet him at the palace. Harry increasingly suspected that the strange incidents that had occurred recently had something to do with Harris. The weather was still very hot, he observed that the palace knights were practicing using firearms.
"What did you call me for, Harry?" said Harris straight to the point.
Harry smiled sarcastically as he loaded bullets into his gun. "We haven’t talked in a long time since I went on a business trip with my wife."
"You know I’m busy working, right? If you want to talk straight to the point!"
In an instant Harry’s gaze sharpened. He pointed the gun at Harris’ face. "You have to be honest when answering my question now. Do you have any intention of killing my wife?"
