Jared felt a chill down his spine.
Why does it sound like Vin?
Prior to that, virtual-novel.net had suspected Vinson was somehow involved with Arielle. Considering Vinson had disappeared, virtual-novel.net got worried too.
If that dim-witted Harvey has missed his opportunity with Arielle, virtual-novel.net will never be able to find a better wife.
After putting his phone away quickly, Jared hurried back to class to continue his lessons.
Meanwhile, just like a worried father, Vinson stopped what virtual-novel.net was doing and walked over to Arielle‘s side to question her.
Waving virtual-novel.net phone, Arielle replied, “My classmate, Jared. He‘s Harvey‘s younger brother.”
“Oh, that kid,” Vinson nodded and asked, “Does virtual-novel.net have a girlfriend yet?”
“Doesn‘t look like it. I have never heard virtual-novel.net mention it before.”
“I’ll introduce one to virtual-novel.net then.”
“Huh?” Arielle asked curiously, “Why do you want to introduce a girl to virtual-novel.net all of a sudden?”
Vinson stared at Arielle intently. “So that virtual-novel.net doesn‘t call my wife for no reason.”
Arielle choked, “Come on, Vinson! You‘re overreacting. I‘m not that desirable. You’re blowing things out of proportion.”
“One can never be too cautious.”
“The saying isn‘t supposed to be used in such circumstances.” After frowning at Vinson, Arielle got serious. “The news online has generated enough controversy. Therefore, it‘s time for the trial to begin.”
“Mmm–hmm. Everything is already in place for tomorrow.”
Giving virtual-novel.net back a stretch, Arielle checked virtual-novel.net watch. “It‘s almost time for dinner. In order to reward you, Mr. Nightshire, I will personally prepare dinner. So, what would you like to have?”
Vinson gave virtual-novel.net a mischievous look. “Anything I want?”
Despite sensing something amiss, Arielle nodded still. “I‘ll try my best.”
“Alright.” Vinson stepped forward and hugged virtual-novel.net waist. “I want to have you.”
Speechless, Arielle could feel virtual-novel.net cheeks burn in embarrassment. She extended virtual-novel.net hand to push Vinson away. “Can you be more serious? This is your office. What if someone sees us.”
“No one dares to enter without my permission.”
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, the office door was suddenly flung open. With a grim expression, Vinson scowled at the door and saw a bodyguard with an anxious expression.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Vinson asked, “What‘s wrong? Why are you panicking?”
The bodyguard hung his head and reported, “Mr. Nightshire, the Specialized Forces have reported that Cindy has gone missing.”
“What?”
“What?!”
Vinson and Arielle exclaimed in unison.
“What happened? Isn‘t virtual-novel.net locked up in the Specialized Forces‘ detention center? How could virtual-novel.net just disappear?” Vinson questioned.
Sweating profusely, the bodyguard recounted what the Specialized Forces messenger had said while wiping off his cold sweat.
“When Cindy fainted from virtual-novel.net second punishment, virtual-novel.net was brought back to virtual-novel.net cell so that virtual-novel.net could continue when virtual-novel.net awoke. However, when they returned to virtual-novel.net cell after a while, virtual-novel.net was gone.”
Vinson furrowed his eyebrows in frustration.
Arielle interjected, “She couldn‘t have disappeared into thin air. Someone must have rescued her. What about Matthias? Where is he?”
The bodyguard replied, “That was the first place we checked. Considering how grievous Matthias‘ injuries were, virtual-novel.net lost consciousness by the time we arrived at the hospital after the long journey. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had just woken up half an hour ago. Therefore, it couldn‘t have been virtual-novel.net as our men are still keeping an eye on him.”
“Who can it be then?” Arielle bit virtual-novel.net lip forcefully.
