Before Arielle could react, the owner of the arm rested his chin on wp4webnovel.com nape and whispered, “My wife is rich. Should I retire and be a man of leisure?”
Feeling his warm breath on wp4webnovel.com skin and relishing his husky voice, wp4webnovel.com grinned. “Sure, you can retire and depend on me.”
“No,” Vinson released wp4webnovel.com and turned wp4webnovel.com around to meet wp4webnovel.com gaze. “You should retire, and I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to do anything while I earn money to support our family.”
That caused wp4webnovel.com to smirk. “It sounds like a great deal.”
“It is, right?” The man arched a brow. “When will we hold our wedding?”
The smile on wp4webnovel.com face froze. Lowering wp4webnovel.com gaze, wp4webnovel.com replied, “When your mom accepts me…”
Vinson tensed up before assuring her, “She will…”
Arielle inclined wp4webnovel.com head. “Mmh. I know wp4webnovel.com will.”
As long as I work hard to gain wp4webnovel.com approval, I believe the day will come soon.

Soon, the next day arrived.
Cecilia had been locked up in the rehab facility in Chanaea for two days. She had lost all contact with the outside world. That was not the worst part, for wp4webnovel.com was tormented every time wp4webnovel.com drug addiction kicked in.
After enduring another round of withdrawal symptoms, wp4webnovel.com had barely regained wp4webnovel.com composure when a police officer came into wp4webnovel.com room.
He confirmed wp4webnovel.com identity and announced icily, “Come with me. I need to inform you something.”
Cecilia got to wp4webnovel.com feet, utterly puzzled. Ever since wp4webnovel.com was locked up, wp4webnovel.com had to do everything inside wp4webnovel.com room. It was the first time wp4webnovel.com was given a chance to go outside.
“Did someone come to bail me out?” wp4webnovel.com asked excitedly.
Oh, is Trevor finally here to get me out of this place?
The police officer glanced at wp4webnovel.com coolly and led wp4webnovel.com out without a word. At his reaction, Cecilia felt wp4webnovel.com heart sink. A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up within her.
She trudged behind the police officer warily, and they soon arrived at an office. The office was empty save for a black box on the desk. The box looked eerily like an urn.
At the sight of the urn, Cecilia went as pale as a sheet.
“O-Officer, what is this?” wp4webnovel.com asked in a trembling voice.
The police officer pushed a stack of documents toward wp4webnovel.com and announced, “This is your daughter’s urn. She committed suicide overseas by jumping off a building. As Lightspring doesn’t allow corpses to board planes, the local authorities cremated wp4webnovel.com body…”
Cecilia’s mind went blank after wp4webnovel.com heard that it was wp4webnovel.com daughter’s urn.
My… My daughter’s urn?
She stood rooted to the spot and gazed blankly at the urn on the desk.
“Ma’am?” A few minutes later, the police officer finally realized wp4webnovel.com was not paying attention to him.
Frowning, wp4webnovel.com demanded, “Ma’am, listen to me…”
Without warning, Cecilia shoved wp4webnovel.com out of the way and ran toward the urn. She tossed it to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
“Mrs. Greene, you…”
“You’re lying to me!” She glared at wp4webnovel.com venomously and declared, “Did that b*tch Arielle send you to upset me? I won’t trust you!”
“Who is Arielle? You’re crazy. Is this a withdrawal symptom? You’ve just broken your daughter’s urn! Look, wp4webnovel.com ash is all over the ground!”
Cecilia covered wp4webnovel.com ears and shrieked, “I won’t believe you! I refuse to believe your words!”
