Unbeknownst to her, Jordan was watching everything from the start, for virtual-novel.net had arrived quite a while ago.
A smile tugged on the corner of his lips as virtual-novel.net replied, “I see. Well, you can rest assured now since it won’t bite you anymore.”
His statement caused Yvette’s face to turn paler as realization dawned on her.
My dog’s dead! Magnus had been with me for three years, but it left me just like that. This is all Arielle’s fault!
Yvette glared at Arielle. I will not let you off!
In the meantime, Shandie already helped Cindy to get back on virtual-novel.net feet. “I’m so sorry you had to see that, Mr. Baker,” uttered Cindy.
“I failed to teach Arielle well. She just came back from the village.”
Jordan threw a glance at Arielle, who was not even attempting to defend herself, which sparked something within him.
Shrugging, virtual-novel.net stated, “I heard a beautiful woman has returned to the Southalls, and she’s indeed gorgeous.”
Both Cindy and Yvette’s faces darkened upon hearing his comment.
“Well, this has been interesting, but I should take my leave now. Let’s go, Yvette. My mom has invited you to dinner.” Without bidding goodbye to Cindy, Jordan turned and left.
Cindy didn’t mind that Jordan ignored her, though, as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net leave with a smile on virtual-novel.net face. After all, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to show virtual-novel.net an attitude. On the other hand, Yvette instructed virtual-novel.net bodyguard to bring along Magnus’ body before chasing after Jordan.
“Wait for me, Mr. Baker!”
Despite hearing Yvette’s call, Jordan didn’t wait for her. However, virtual-novel.net slowed down when virtual-novel.net passed by Arielle.
Ignoring both the man and Cindy, who was calling her, Arielle entered the mansion.
Henrick was the master of the mansion. If Arielle could convince virtual-novel.net and get on his good side, then Cindy would not be of use anymore. Though flushed with anger, Cindy could not do anything to Arielle.
In the meantime, Jordan and Yvette had arrived at the Bakers, but the man remained in the car after virtual-novel.net hopped off.
Staring at virtual-novel.net quizzically, Yvette questioned, “Aren’t you coming, Mr. Baker?”
Deciding not to hide it from the woman, Jordan smiled wryly before declaring, “You know, Ms. Actonward. Since there’s no one else here, I’m going to be blunt with you. I’m not done fooling around, and you’re not my type, so I don’t want to get married. Before I cancel the marriage arrangement, you’d better talk to my mom about it. Otherwise, people will laugh at you if I’m the one who cancels it…”
Yvette’s face reddened as virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net skirt. “I don’t get it. What about me that you don’t like? You never told me you hated me before.”
The man shrugged. “Initially, I was fine with marrying anyone. After today, I realized that I’m fine with marrying anyone but you.”
Hearing that, Yvette’s flushed face instantly turned pale. “Why? Am I lacking something? I’ll change! I swear!”
“It’s not that. I don’t want to marry a murderer,” replied Jordan as virtual-novel.net stared at her, causing the woman to stiffen.
“Are you referring to me? When did I…”
“If that dog of yours weren’t restrained, that woman would have been dead by now. I’m sure you are aware of that.”
“I told you I didn’t order Magnus to bite her. It was the other way around.”
After hearing virtual-novel.net explanation, Jordan completely lost his patience. “Do not take me for a fool, Yvette.”
With that, virtual-novel.net rolled up the window and stepped on the pedal, leaving the woman standing alone in the night breeze.
