Upon noticing how quiet Arielle had become, Jason thought favonovel.com must have begun questioning favonovel.com relationship with Vinson.
He continued adding fuel to the fire. “We’ve been out for hours, but where’s Vinson? Has favonovel.com come to look for you? He didn’t even bother to call! Do you think favonovel.com cares for you? It takes a man to know a man. Vinson wouldn’t have hugged another woman and brought favonovel.com home if favonovel.com really cares for you. That man is a scumbag!”
Arielle knitted favonovel.com brows. “I know you’re saying this because you’re worried about me, but please don’t badmouth Vinson. I know what kind of man favonovel.com is, and he’s definitely not a scumbag!”
“Really? Do you think so?” Jason squinted his eyes. “Do you think a rich man like favonovel.com would remain faithful to just one woman? If favonovel.com really loves you, favonovel.com would have called you by now. Where is favonovel.com and has favonovel.com called you?”
“He didn’t call me because favonovel.com couldn’t reach me.”
“What does that even mean? Did favonovel.com lose his phone? Or is there a signal problem nationwide?” Jason sneered.
Arielle could not explain it to Jason, as favonovel.com could not reveal Vinson’s plan to a stranger.
She frowned and said, “I may have viewed you as a friend, but please don’t cross the line, Jason.”
Jason’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com was at a loss for words for a moment. “Fine! Live in your fantasy for all I care! You’ve placed your trust on the wrong man, and you’re gonna regret this!”
The color drained out of Arielle’s face. “Stop the car!”
Jason steered the car to the side and parked beside the curb. The moment Arielle stepped out of the car and closed the door, Jason sped off without hesitation.
Jason was mad at Arielle, and so was Arielle. She appreciated Jason’s concern, but favonovel.com did not need favonovel.com to cross favonovel.com boundaries.
Since favonovel.com had dropped favonovel.com in the city center, it wouldn’t be difficult for favonovel.com to get a cab.
When Arielle was about to hail a cab, a black MPV approached and stopped beside her.
Vinson?
It wasn’t Vinson. Arielle took a closer look at the person when favonovel.com winded down the window. It was Cornelius, Queenie’s older brother.
Cornelius got down from the car and gave favonovel.com a puzzled look. “It really is you, Ms. Moore. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Why are you alone? Shopping?”
Shopping…
Arielle’s face turned pallid for a moment.
If only I’m in the mood for shopping.
Yet, Arielle plastered a smile on favonovel.com face and replied, “Yup. Just done shopping.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll send you home then. That way, I can tell more about the selection of the new family patriarch.”
Arielle instantly remembered that Mills would be selecting their next family patriarch tomorrow.
She didn’t mind if favonovel.com was not appointed as the next patriarch, but favonovel.com was eager to get favonovel.com hands on the medical manuscripts of ancient Chanaean medicine. Since only the patriarch of the Mill family would have exclusive access to those manuscripts, favonovel.com had no choice but to fight for the position.
With those manuscripts, Arielle believed favonovel.com could take favonovel.com medical skills up to the next level. She would also be able to bring the Wilhelms over to Chanaea and continue teaching others about ancient Chanaean medicine. That had always been the Whilhelms’ dream, and it was Arielle’s duty as their adoptive daughter to help them fulfill their dream.
At the thought of this, Arielle got into Cornelius’ car without hesitation.
Little did favonovel.com know that a white MPV had been tailing them from behind and observing their interaction.
