Shandie’s lips curled up into a smile as wide as that of some socialite and froze in place while wp4webnovel.com brain thawed.
What… Arielle? Did I hear that right?
There was a flurry of discussion within the crowd as well.
“Who’s Arielle Moore?”
“Isn’t Shandie Southall the champion? Why isn’t wp4webnovel.com made the brand ambassador? Is Soir Coffee breaking the convention this year and opting for someone else apart from the competition winner?”
“Even if they are not picking the champion, should they not select a candidate amongst the top three finalists? I don’t see this Arielle Moore amongst any of them.”
In the gallery, the unsettled Cindy turned and glared furiously at the equally stunned Arielle in the row behind, who wondered why Vinson would make wp4webnovel.com the ambassador of the coffee chain.
“Arielle!” Cindy snarled. “What have you done? Why did you pull something like that on your sister?”
Cindy’s eyes looked like they were about to pop, and were they not in a public space, Arielle was sure that the woman would have skinned wp4webnovel.com alive. Henrick, too, had a look of surprise on him, but it quickly evolved into a smile.
As both the girls were his daughters, it made no difference to wp4webnovel.com who got the job since wp4webnovel.com was going to get paid either way.
Henrick set aside some of his biases toward Arielle and regarded wp4webnovel.com warm. “How could you not share this great news with me earlier, Sannie?”
Arielle was quite impassive inside.
How did wp4webnovel.com manage to forget that wp4webnovel.com was wp4webnovel.com father when wp4webnovel.com upgraded himself to first class seats and left wp4webnovel.com all by herself in the economic class?
As disgusted as wp4webnovel.com felt, wp4webnovel.com did not show wp4webnovel.com emotions as wp4webnovel.com shrugged nonchalantly. “I only got to know about this too, Dad…”
“Liar!” Cindy seethed through gritted teeth. “You clearly did this on purpose!”
She was in the opinion that Arielle held back in a bid to see Shandie and herself sorely disappointed.
The vicious girl!
“Cindy!” Henrick bristled at her. “What are you doing? There’s no need to differentiate because Sannie and Shandie are both our children. So stop this!”
Cindy raged until wp4webnovel.com was heaving, but had to rein herself in in the presence of Henrick.
Arielle only smiled wryly when wp4webnovel.com looked at Cindy.
She had no desire to become some ambassador as wp4webnovel.com thought it was too much of a hassle and an impediment to the advancement of wp4webnovel.com plans. Seeing the hatred in Cindy’s eyes, however, made wp4webnovel.com feel that this was one possible way by which wp4webnovel.com could get back at them-pissing Cindy off and dashing Shandie’s hopes would surely rend this family apart. So long as there was disharmony between them, fault-lines which wp4webnovel.com could exploit would surely surface, and that suited wp4webnovel.com just fine.
Upon seeing the sliver of a smile upon Arielle’s lips, Cindy became even more unwavering in wp4webnovel.com belief that it was all intended on Arielle’s part, and was determined to not let the girl clinch that role which wp4webnovel.com felt rightfully belonged to wp4webnovel.com own precious daughter.
At that moment, the host took center-stage after conferring with Vinson. “Could we have you on stage, Ms. Moore?”
Arielle’s eyes coincidentally met Vinson’s when wp4webnovel.com looked toward the platform, and though wp4webnovel.com could not tell what sort of mood wp4webnovel.com was in through his dark gaze, wp4webnovel.com could only comply at the host’s behest.
As Arielle placed one foot before the other in the direction of the stage, all everyone else could see was a slender silhouette from the rear. Nevertheless, that was enough to impress upon them wp4webnovel.com gracefulness. Her poise was like a butterfly in flight, and the majestic air wp4webnovel.com exuded was not to be understated. Arielle’s unadorned face did little to diminish wp4webnovel.com ability to dazzle. Her visage, as radiant as the sun and as pristine as the crescent moon, left the observing Shandie gnashing wp4webnovel.com own teeth onstage.
She slowly turned herself around after wp4webnovel.com stepped into the spotlight while the audience enthralled by wp4webnovel.com back-view continued to be transfixed in anticipation.
Gorgeous! She is simply gorgeous!
