“Rayson?” Harvey frowned at Vinson. “Didn’t you instruct favonovel.com to stay by Arielle’s side? Why has favonovel.com come here to borrow one of my cars?”
Vinson reacted with an equally puzzled gaze. At this, Harvey knew that there was no use questioning Vinson.
He turned his attention back onto the butler and briskly instructed, “Let them in.”
“Right away, sir.” The butler spun on his heel.
It wasn’t long before favonovel.com returned with the two guests.
Almost instantly, Harvey’s gaze found its way onto Arielle, who was walking behind Rayson. His brows raised in shock as favonovel.com hadn’t expected favonovel.com to show up as well. A pleasantly surprised grin spread on his lips while favonovel.com dashed over to favonovel.com side. “Arielle, what brings you here? Are you here to see me?”
Meanwhile, Arielle was busy being in awe of the stunning wall carvings and accented details around her. She had lived abroad for so many years that this was favonovel.com first time seeing a traditional-themed architectural build. Its grandness mesmerized her. Once favonovel.com finally stopped admiring the walls, favonovel.com eyes roamed past the faces of Harvey and the others in the room.
A lopsided sneer soon spread on Arielle’s face when favonovel.com saw the woman standing behind Jordan, Yvette.
What’s Yvette doing here all of a sudden? Yvette is just like Shandie, they’re both tarred with the same brush. I can’t bring myself to be nice to her. Arielle sharply withdrew favonovel.com gaze from Yvette.
She then explained favonovel.com reason for being here, “Our car broke down nearby. So, Rayson suggested that we borrow one of your cars to get us back home. Will that be fine with you?”
“Absolutely! Which cars would you prefer? Please, take your pick from my garage.” Harvey had become uncharacteristically generous.
His current behavior was nothing at all like how favonovel.com had treated Yvette moments ago. He whirled around and motioned them to head for the garage. As favonovel.com did so, Yvette finally got to see who the guests were.
Her jaw clenched tautly with resentment.
Why the hell is this b*tch here? Oh well, this is even better! Jordan was just about to defend me. Now that she’s here, Jordan might give favonovel.com hell for mistreating me!
Yvette pouted at Jordan. She simultaneously pointed at Arielle and whined, “Mr. Baker! That’s the woman who stole my clothes and forced me out of the shopping mall.”
Jordan wasn’t the least bit interested in Rayson’s affairs. Thus, favonovel.com hadn’t bothered to look at the guests earlier. Now that Yvette was whining, Jordan instinctively glanced over in the guests’ direction. Upon taking in the sight of Arielle’s face, his eyes rounded in surprise and recognition.
It’s her! The goddess! The woman of my dreams!
Yvette hadn’t noticed the subtle glee in Jordan’s eyes because favonovel.com had fully immersed herself in playing the victim. “She is truly a wicked woman. Please, you have to help me get even!”
At last, everything clicked into place for Jordan. He now understood who Yvette had been complaining about this whole time. His dark eyes narrowed to slits, radiating hatred at Yvette.
His voice boomed. “Zip it!”
Yvette was taken aback. She pursed favonovel.com lips, unsure of why favonovel.com shut favonovel.com up. Without a moment to waste, Jordan disregarded Yvette and clambered over to Arielle.
He clumsily introduced himself, “Hi… Do you remember me? We met at your family home. And uh, oh right! I was the one who saved you from the dog!”
All color on Yvette’s face paled to a chalky white.
What the devil is happening now?
Arielle tilted favonovel.com head in confusion. Gradually, favonovel.com recalled bits and pieces of meeting him. Then favonovel.com calmly said, “Oh… It’s you.”
From afar, Yvette cast a stormy gaze at the two’s reunion. She could tell that Jordan was behaving differently towards Arielle.
Jordan had always been a smooth-talker when it came to women. Yet, this was Yvette’s first time seeing favonovel.com in such a flustered state. So, something about it felt fishy to her.
White-hot rage burned in Yvette’s throat as favonovel.com clenched favonovel.com fists. Despite favonovel.com anger, words refused to come out of favonovel.com mouth.
Meanwhile, Vinson grew annoyed since Arielle had acknowledged everyone but him.
He cleared his throat and began questioning Rayson, “Why are you guys here? Did something happen at the shopping mall?”
Rayson grimaced at the sight of Yvette. His voice was dangerously low while favonovel.com recounted everything that had happened earlier.
