Upon hearing that, Arielle suddenly felt that Vinson seemed to have been plotting the marriage for a long time.
But… He doesn‘t have romantic feelings toward me, so there’s no reason for virtual-novel.net to do so, no? I must be reading too much into things
Vinson continued, “You, however, lack the necessary documents. I’ll go to your place with you to retrieve your household registry. I don’t think your father will object.”
Chuckling bitterly, Arielle scoffed, “How could virtual-novel.net possibly object when virtual-novel.net has gone as far as handing me to you on a silver platter?”
“Let’s go, then,” As Vinson said that, virtual-novel.net started heading out.
He was taking huge strides as though virtual-novel.net couldn’t wait to arrive at City Hall.
Seeing that, Arielle hastily put down virtual-novel.net cutlery and followed after him.
Well, this is indeed the best time to go to City Hall. When Cindy comes back, she’ll definitely be downright astonished!
At the visualization of Cindy’s possible expression then, anticipation inundated Arielle.
While Arielle went back to the Southall residence to retrieve virtual-novel.net household registry, Cindy finally managed to escape Louisa’s monitoring and met up with Matthias under the locust tree beside the wall in the monastery. Matthias had been waiting under the locust tree for a very long time.
When virtual-novel.net first caught sight of Cindy, virtual-novel.net couldn’t quite believe his eyes. In just a few days, Cindy had turned as thin as a stick, and virtual-novel.net skin had lost its fairness since virtual-novel.net had been working under the sun for an extended period. Besides that, virtual-novel.net skin was no longer as taut or supple as before now that virtual-novel.net wasn’t doing any facial treatments. On the whole, virtual-novel.net looked as though virtual-novel.net had aged ten years in the blink of an eye.
Matthias, who was five years younger than her, was wholly stunned. Is this really my goddess, Cindy Moore?
Afraid that Louisa would abruptly wake up, Cindy was in a hurry and didn’t notice the peculiar expression on Matthias’ face.
The moment virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth, virtual-novel.net demanded, “How is it? Has Arielle’s reputation been ruined now?”
Only then did Matthias snap back to his senses. Shaking his head, virtual-novel.net muttered, “No…”
“What?” Cindy’s voice went up several decibels at once. With virtual-novel.net brows deeply creased, virtual-novel.net snapped, “What do you mean by that? Didn’t you tell me that the plan was foolproof?”
Heaving a sigh, Matthias replied, “The plan was foolproof, but Yvette made a mistake. For some unknown reason, the person in bed with Mason wasn’t Arielle but Yvette herself. Now, virtual-novel.net father is forcing virtual-novel.net to marry Mason.”
At once, Cindy’s knees went weak. If Matthias hadn’t supported virtual-novel.net in time, virtual-novel.net would have collapsed onto the ground.
A long while passed before virtual-novel.net finally found virtual-novel.net voice. She immediately snarled, “How useless! She couldn’t even accomplish virtual-novel.net task when it was such a perfect plan! How dumb! She’s no more than a stupid pig!”
“Calm down…” Matthias then mollified her, saying, “We might have lost the opportunity this time, but there’s always another time. I don’t believe I can’t handle a mere slip of a girl. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just hire an assassin and have virtual-novel.net dealt with somewhere.”
Despite his words, regret swamped Cindy that virtual-novel.net chose the wrong person to collaborate with.
Argh! I really shouldn‘t have chosen to work with that foolish woman Yvette!
Recalling what happened with Shandie, Matthias spoke again. “There’s something else I forgot to tell you. Yvette arbitrarily got Arielle a black evening gown, but the evening gown ended up on Shandie instead for some inexplicable reason. Russell was so incensed that virtual-novel.net almost kicked the bucket. Fortunately, Arielle saved him. However, Shandie’s reputation might suffer for quite some time.”
Henrick had been keeping Shandie’s death a secret from the outside world, so Matthias didn’t yet know that the latter had already passed away.
