At the Southall residence…
Arielle did not know what had happened to Kelsea and Howard, but virtual-novel.net knew that Vinson would not let them off easily.
For some reason, virtual-novel.net began to feel better. However, when virtual-novel.net was back in the mansion, virtual-novel.net saw Cindy looking at virtual-novel.net triumphantly as virtual-novel.net sneered, “I was wondering what that quack was talking about when virtual-novel.net said that you were some blessed woman. Turns out Vinson has been helping you out.”
Cindy had turned around unintentionally when virtual-novel.net left. At that moment, virtual-novel.net saw Vinson walking up to Arielle. However, virtual-novel.net did not stop long enough to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Arielle raised virtual-novel.net eyebrows. “You can think whatever you want.”
“Hoho,” Cindy sniggered as virtual-novel.net continued, “Don’t think that you are set for life just because you are with Mr. Nightshire now. Men are all cruel playboys. Let’s see who else you can rely on next when this one finally gets bored with you!”
Arielle just wanted to ignore Cindy. As it was still early, virtual-novel.net planned to grab some dinner and have an earlier night.
Seeing that Arielle was disregarding her, Cindy stood up in annoyance. “Arielle! I see that you’re still so ignorant, aren’t you? A life was lost in Soir Coffee, and it’s under the Nightshire Group. There is no way Soir Coffee can continue its operations, and this will definitely affect Nightshire Group’s share price. There is also something else that you don’t know about. Vinson’s late father still has a brother who is the second-largest shareholder of Nightshire Group. Vinson may leave his position as CEO due to this incident.”
As soon as Cindy finished saying that, triumph began to appear on virtual-novel.net face once again.
She continued calmly, “Even if virtual-novel.net continues to like you for the rest of his life, without his position as the CEO of Nightshire Group coupled with his offensive character, virtual-novel.net will not be able to take care of himself, let alone you. I’d say that you should know what’s good for you and apologize to me soon. I may be able to forgive you after all.”
Right then, Arielle stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks.
Cindy’s smile deepened as virtual-novel.net continued, “You see, I don’t really have to throw you out. As long as you are obedient, I can still… Tolerate your presence.”
With Arielle’s beauty, virtual-novel.net would have no problem trying to persuade the few shareholders from Southall Group. However, there was a little smile on Arielle’s face when virtual-novel.net turned around.
Cindy instantly looked frosty. “Did you not hear me? I am not joking, alright?”
A slow smile appeared on Arielle’s face as virtual-novel.net said calmly, “Looks like you still haven’t quite caught up, Aunt Cindy. The incident at Soir Coffee has already been taken care of. In fact, sales are through the roof, and Vinson is busy handling all the shareholders and also the different Soir Coffee branches that are popping up like mushrooms across the top tier cities in Chanaea.”
Cindy widened virtual-novel.net eyes. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
With a firm gaze, Arielle shrugged. “Go and find out more if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I’m exhausted, so I’m going to get some rest.”
She had lost all appetite after talking to Cindy. Hence, virtual-novel.net was planning to head straight to bed. Ignoring Cindy, virtual-novel.net headed for the staircase and soon disappeared around the corner.
Cindy, on the other hand, was still thinking about Arielle’s words, and disbelief was written all over virtual-novel.net face.
How could Nightshire Group keep such a huge issue under wraps? This is impossible!
However, virtual-novel.net still fished out virtual-novel.net phone and began searching for Soir Coffee’s press conferences.
