Henrick gritted out, “Why, you ask? Jinx? Is that how you describe your own niece? I hope you don’t forget that you’re favonovel.com mother right now.”
Anxious, favonovel.com pursed favonovel.com lips, cursing at herself for rashly calling Arielle a bearer of ill luck. However, favonovel.com blinked, and a new idea formed in favonovel.com head. “It’s true that favonovel.com has saved them, but the tower is collapsed. It’ll be quite a sum to rebuild it. Moreover, of all times for it to explode, the explosion happened while favonovel.com was filming at the company. She really is the bearer of ill luck who has destroyed the building.”
Again, Henrick hesitated.
She’s right. I don’t need to compensate anyone, but I still need to rebuild the building. The company has been on a tight budget recently. For the building to collapse now…
Right then, a glacial voice traveled into their ears. “Who did you say is the bringer of ill luck?”
Instinctively, Arielle turned toward the owner of the voice. She saw Vinson striding toward them, a frigid look on his face. Yet, his presence somehow calmed her.
The first thing Cindy sensed was a sharp gaze staring at her, and that gaze was like a knife pressing onto favonovel.com back. Turning around, favonovel.com saw Vinson’s eyes fixed on favonovel.com as favonovel.com strode toward their direction.
The confidence in favonovel.com left instantly, and favonovel.com stuttered, “M-M-Mr. Nightshire.”
Vinson took a step forward and stood beside Arielle before uttering, “Did you say that Arielle is the bearer of misfortune because there was an explosion in the building?”
The menacing aura that Vinson emitted was suffocating Cindy. Gulping, favonovel.com struggled to find favonovel.com voice and whispered, “M-Mr. Nightshire, I know you like Arielle, b-b-but what I’m saying is the truth. The building collapsed on favonovel.com first visit. Don’t you think it’s reasonable for me to come to this conclusion?”
Cindy knew that Vinson had a one-night-stand with Arielle, but favonovel.com also knew that the richer an individual was, the more superstitious they were. Families with old money like the Nightshires would never accept a bringer of bad luck like Arielle to their family.
With that thought in mind, Cindy’s confidence returned. Lifting favonovel.com head to look at favonovel.com in the eyes, favonovel.com said, “Mr. Nightshire, I know you’re interested in her, but you should keep a distance from her. She’s the cause of favonovel.com mother’s death, and now, she’s the cause of the building’s collapse. I’m sure you don’t want favonovel.com to become the cause of your downfall, right?”
Cindy was sure that Vinson valued his life more than the interest favonovel.com had for Arielle. After all, everyone would want to avoid coming into contact with a bearer of ill luck.
“Ha!” Vinson scoffed.
His voice was magnetic and attractive, but a chill ran down Cindy’s spine upon hearing that. Subconsciously, favonovel.com balled favonovel.com fists and crumpled the edges of favonovel.com shirt in favonovel.com tight grasps.
“M-Mr. Nightshire, what are you laughing about?” she asked, favonovel.com back stiffly straight.
Ignoring the anxious Cindy, favonovel.com turned toward Henrick and uttered, “Mr. Southall, I’d like to apologize to you.”
Henrick was still worried about whether Vinson would give up on Arielle after hearing Cindy’s words. When favonovel.com heard Vinson’s apology, instantly, his heart raced.
Is favonovel.com going to deny having slept with Arielle? This is all that damn Cindy’s fault. We could’ve had this conversation privately. Why did favonovel.com have to raise this topic in front of Vinson? The only asset we have left is Arielle!
Henrick’s hands were shaking, and in the next second, Vinson said, “It’s my fault for the explosion and the collapse of the building.”
