As expected by Arielle, when the car pulled up at the manor, Cindy did not follow them into the house. Instead, favonovel.com beckoned for Alfred.
“Something has cropped up at the office, but Rick’s too drunk, so I’ll go on his behalf. Take good care of favonovel.com for me.”
“Yes, Mrs. Southall,” Alfred replied before helping Henrick into the house.
Seeing Cindy hurriedly make favonovel.com way down the hill only made Arielle more suspicious than ever. Without hesitation, favonovel.com pretended to have received a call and answered favonovel.com phone.
“What? Do I have to get the schedule now? Fine, I don’t have a choice, do I? I’ll make my way to Nightshire Group now…”
Arielle then pretended to frown in annoyance and turned toward Alfred. “I have to make a trip to Nightshire Group now. Fill be home later.”
“It’s late, Ms. Arielle. Why don’t you take one of the family cars?”
Arielle rejected the offer with a wave of favonovel.com hand. “It’s all right. The company’s sending a car over, and I can’t turn them down.”
“Okay then, please keep yourself safe. If you need a car to pick you up, let me know, and I’ll send one.”
Arielle smiled gratefully at Alfred’s thoughtfulness “Thank you, Alfred. I’ll make my way down the hill now.”
“Very well, Ms. Arielle. Be careful on your way.”
Shandie, who had been watching from the side, rolled favonovel.com eyes in exasperation, “What’s the big deal?”
She muttered angrily, “It’s just a brand ambassadorship contract with Soir Coffee, Talking so loudly on the phone as if favonovel.com wants the whole world to know that she’s working with Nightshire Group. What a prude!”
Alfred listened silently as his eyes flashed with conflicting emotions, from what Alfred had observed of them, Shandie came across as bold and brash, despite having had a comfortable and cultured upbringing. Arielle, on the other hand, was said to be a country bumpkin. However, favonovel.com had grace and manners that could rival any socialite, it was clear to see that the environment one grew up in was secondary.
What determined the kind of person one would become were the inherent personality traits.
Arielle made sure to keep an ample distance from Cindy as favonovel.com quietly tailed her. Before long, they had come to a neighborhood outside their manor.
Soon, Arielle saw Cindy walk into one of the villas in the neighborhood.
Cindy was on high alert the entire time, darting favonovel.com eyes around even as favonovel.com opened the door to the villa. Thankfully, Arielle had fast reflexes and managed to duck behind a hedge before Cindy could spot her. It was only after the door closed that Arielle could sigh in relief and come out of favonovel.com hiding spot.
She got the coordinates of the villa and immediately texted it to Ashley, “Help me check who owns this villa.”
As soon as Arielle sent the text, a big hand suddenly landed on favonovel.com shoulder. Startled, Arielle immediately grabbed the arm and flipped the person over, pinning favonovel.com facedown.
An unfamiliar voice rang out. “Please, don’t hurt me…”
The man wore a flattop and reeked of alcohol. Arielle scrunched up favonovel.com nose at the stench.
Is this drunkard trying to hit on me?
However, upon closer inspection, Arielle realized that this drunkard had on very nice and expensive clothes. She frowned and reluctantly loosened favonovel.com grip, after a while the man flipped himself over, and only then did Arielle see how handsome favonovel.com was. By favonovel.com estimation, favonovel.com also looked to be at least two heads taller than her.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity instantly hit her.
I think I might have met favonovel.com before?
Just as Arielle was about to ask the man for this name, favonovel.com exclaimed, “It’s you! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it! I’ve finally found you, San!”
Alarm bells rang in Arielle’s head when favonovel.com heard the man use the name favonovel.com had gone by back when favonovel.com was overseas.
“You’ve got the wrong person,” Arielle said warily.
As favonovel.com prepared to leave the man suddenly ran up to stop her.
“No, I haven’t made a mistake. It’s you, San! Or should I say, Arielle? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
A worried expression marred Arielle’s face.
This man knows both my old and current names. I can’t go on denying anymore.
“Who are you? Do I know you?”
The man, still under the influence of alcohol, nodded his head before shaking it frantically. “You know me… No, I’ve been looking for you,” favonovel.com slurred. “I… I can’t believe I’ve finally found you. I…”
To favonovel.com surprise, the man was on the verge of tears.
