The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto brought his two maids, Rem and Ram, to the venue where the Suzuki Group was holding their party.

The Suzuki Group had chosen to hold the party on their luxury cruise ship. Of course, besides that, an even bigger reason was that the Suzuki Group wanted to catch Kaito Kid in such a place.

Hakuto, along with Rem and Ram, presented the invitation. Immediately, the Suzuki Family personally came out to welcome him. The Suzuki Family dared not show the slightest negligence toward this esteemed guest of the family.

Entering the party hall, Suzuki Shirou personally handed a black pearl to Hakuto.

Then, Shirou personally explained to Hakuto the plan the Suzuki Family had devised to catch Kaito Kid. Every guest who boarded this cruise ship would receive a black pearl from the Suzuki Family. But clearly, these black pearls were not real.

However, it was also possible that this was a way to confuse Kaito Kid's attention.

Hakuto took the black pearl, looked at Shirou, smiled, and then accepted it. Seeing Hakuto accept it, Shirou breathed a sigh of relief. Hadn't all this been done just to give this black pearl to Hakuto? Now, Hakuto had finally accepted it.

Hakuto naturally guessed the Suzuki Family's little scheme, but he didn't expose it. There was no need. Moreover, although he didn't know what this black pearl was, Hakuto could indeed feel that this black pearl was very unusual. So, he accepted it.

"Then I won't disturb you any further. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Shirou left with his wife. The two Suzuki daughters, Suzuki Ayako and Suzuki Sonoko, stayed behind. Hakuto looked at Sonoko and said, "Suzuki Shirou is trying to use a honey trap on me, huh?"

Sonoko smiled and asked Hakuto, "Will it succeed?"

Looking at the Sonoko before him, after she removed her hairband, her appearance directly jumped from a seventy or eighty to over ninety.

"Perhaps it might succeed?"

Hearing Hakuto's words, Sonoko's eyes immediately lit up. Suzuki Ayako, on the other hand, had a flicker of resistance in her eyes. Hakuto looked at Suzuki Ayako and said, "Miss Ayako, if you have something to do, you can leave. You don't need to stay with me. I think leaving Sonoko alone is enough."

A forced smile immediately appeared on Ayako's face. "No, I..."

"Don't worry. I won't blame you for this, nor will I implicate the Suzuki Family because of it."

Sonoko looked at her sister's expression and then explained to Hakuto, "My sister already has someone she likes. But she got dragged here by her parents, so don't mind it."

Hakuto smiled and said, "I'm not some bully. I don't do things like abducting women. You can rest assured. And to be honest, although Miss Ayako is pretty, you haven't bewitched me to the point of obsession. So there won't be any cliché incidents like that."

Hearing Hakuto's words, Sonoko said to her sister, "Alright, alright. Go find the person you like, sis. I'll handle Hakuto here."

Ayako hesitated for a moment, then gave a slight bow of thanks to Hakuto, and finally left.

"To be honest, I personally dislike this kind of so-called honey trap."

Sonoko said indifferently, "That's just how the children of wealthy families are. Besides, my sister might not actually have someone she likes. It's more likely a rebellion against the family's arrangements."

Hakuto looked at Sonoko with surprise. This seemingly carefree and unreliable second daughter of the Suzuki Family in the plot, it seemed, was not entirely carefree.

But then again, how could a child born into a wealthy family really have the personality of a husky? Sonoko had really fooled a lot of people.

Then, the same strange smile reappeared on Sonoko's face. "I say, if you were really interested, my sister probably wouldn't resist. Want to give it a try?"

Hakuto: !!!

'Was this Suzuki Sonoko toxic or something? I had just been praising her, and the next moment, she slapped me in the face.'

"Don't think I'm selling out my sister. I just think that being by your side is better than being with others. At least, by your side, my sister won't have any major problems. The boyfriend my sister is seeing now is named Tomizawa Yuzo. Although that guy seems to have no problems on the surface, I know very well that people like him are mostly fine on the surface, but secretly, who knows what kind of seedy things they're into. More importantly, he's a loser who's completely unworthy of my sister."

Looking at Sonoko, Hakuto was somewhat speechless from surprise. Sonoko really had a sharp eye!

But...

"How are you so sure that your sister isn't choosing him precisely because he's a loser? If the Suzuki Family is to be inherited by you, then the more of a loser Tomizawa Yuzo is, the more your sister might end up being able to control everything about him."

Sonoko's eyes widened instantly, her expression full of disbelief.

Sonoko found it hard to believe, yet she had to admit that what Hakuto said was very possible.

Sonoko had been determined early on as the heir of the Suzuki Group, while her sister, Ayako, was meant to be a marriage pawn. Would her sister be willing?

"Sometimes, you can't judge a person just by their behavior. Behavior can be faked. You have to observe their heart to confirm whether they are really faking it."

Sonoko's expression became somewhat serious. If what Hakuto said was true and her sister had been pretending all along, then that would be truly terrifying.

"Sonoko, what are you talking about?"

Just then, a voice came over. The distinctive angular features immediately brought the person's name to mind: Mouri Ran.

"Ran!"

Seeing Ran approach, Sonoko smiled and greeted her. But Hakuto, standing beside Sonoko, just looked at this Ran with somewhat amused eyes.
