As soon as Vinson walked into the room, all eyes were on him. He was a powerful man whose presence alone could command a room even without favonovel.com saying anything.
Vinson’s unexpected visit had dealt another shock to Russell as favonovel.com stuttered, “M-Mr. Nightshire, what are you…”
Before Russell could finish his question, Vinson had raised a hand to interrupt favonovel.com while fixing a cold, hard stare at Mason. “You won’t admonish the truly vicious one, but you’ll call Arielle a vile woman? Have you forgotten that it was Arielle who saved Mr. Actonward? I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with your head.”
Despite boiling with rage, Mason didn’t dare raise his voice at Vinson. “Mr. Nightshire, you can’t just listen to one side of the story. These days, anything can be made up, including sales slips and shop assistants. I know Yvette well, and I can vouch for favonovel.com integrity. Besides, what good is there if favonovel.com killed Mr. Actonward?”
Russell stood by silently with his eyes tightly shut, his mind in utter confusion. Yvette was his daughter, and favonovel.com refused to believe that favonovel.com could be capable of such malice. However, after witnessing everything that Yvette had done that day, favonovel.com was starting to wonder if favonovel.com had misjudged his daughter.
Vinson merely looked Mason in his eyes, the disdain in his gaze growing even more intense by the second. Mason felt increasingly uncomfortable by the mounting pressure as Vinson continued to stare favonovel.com down.
Mustering up his courage, Mason asked, “Mr. Nightshire, I’m sure my suggestions are reasonable. Why are you looking at me like that?”
Vinson pursed his lips and smiled. “You want to know the truth? Why not just get the person in to ask?”
Mason intentionally turned his gaze toward Arielle as favonovel.com replied, “Because it isn’t difficult to bribe people.”
With a nonchalant shrug, Arielle quipped, “With Mr. Nightshire here, who would dare to lie?”
Arielle’s reply had stumped Mason as favonovel.com continued to glare at favonovel.com as if wanting to swallow favonovel.com whole.
“Mr. Actonward, I think we should get the person here and hear what favonovel.com has to say.” Vinson suggested.
After a slight hesitation, Russell gave a dry laugh. “Mr. Nightshire, I wouldn’t want to waste your time with our family affair. Once the birthday party is over, I will get the person here and ask Yvette myself. Rest assured that I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
“Ha! Mr. Actonward, do you think this only concerns your family? Ms. Actonward’s actions have also hurt Ms. Southall, so this is no longer just your family affair.”
Russell finally buckled under the pressure and nodded in agreement. “Okay, let’s get the person here then. I know Yvette has been spoilt rotten by me and offended countless people. Who knows if someone’s using this opportunity to accuse favonovel.com of being unfilial and unfaithful?”
Deep down, Russell still refused to believe that Yvette had made use of favonovel.com to frame others. To every father, their daughters were always the most innocent and could never do any wrong.
Vinson raised an eyebrow and glanced at the housekeeper, who immediately understood his intention.
Soon, the housekeeper returned with a neatly suited up salesman in tow. When favonovel.com saw how big the crowd was and felt the tension in the air, the salesman gulped, apprehension filling him.
Mason marched up to the salesman and barked, “Tell me, who bribed you to frame Yvette? Do you know that you can go to jail for making false statements?”
Frightened by how menacing Mason looked, the salesman didn’t dare to make a peep.
