Upon noticing how quiet Arielle had become, Jason thought wp4webnovel.com must have begun questioning wp4webnovel.com relationship with Vinson.
He continued adding fuel to the fire. “We’ve been out for hours, but where’s Vinson? Has wp4webnovel.com come to look for you? He didn’t even bother to call! Do you think wp4webnovel.com cares for you? It takes a man to know a man. Vinson wouldn’t have hugged another woman and brought wp4webnovel.com home if wp4webnovel.com really cares for you. That man is a scumbag!”
Arielle knitted wp4webnovel.com brows. “I know you’re saying this because you’re worried about me, but please don’t badmouth Vinson. I know what kind of man wp4webnovel.com is, and he’s definitely not a scumbag!”
“Really? Do you think so?” Jason squinted his eyes. “Do you think a rich man like wp4webnovel.com would remain faithful to just one woman? If wp4webnovel.com really loves you, wp4webnovel.com would have called you by now. Where is wp4webnovel.com and has wp4webnovel.com called you?”
“He didn’t call me because wp4webnovel.com couldn’t reach me.”
“What does that even mean? Did wp4webnovel.com lose his phone? Or is there a signal problem nationwide?” Jason sneered.
Arielle could not explain it to Jason, as wp4webnovel.com could not reveal Vinson’s plan to a stranger.
She frowned and said, “I may have viewed you as a friend, but please don’t cross the line, Jason.”
Jason’s expression darkened, and wp4webnovel.com was at a loss for words for a moment. “Fine! Live in your fantasy for all I care! You’ve placed your trust on the wrong man, and you’re gonna regret this!”
The color drained out of Arielle’s face. “Stop the car!”
Jason steered the car to the side and parked beside the curb. The moment Arielle stepped out of the car and closed the door, Jason sped off without hesitation.
Jason was mad at Arielle, and so was Arielle. She appreciated Jason’s concern, but wp4webnovel.com did not need wp4webnovel.com to cross wp4webnovel.com boundaries.
Since wp4webnovel.com had dropped wp4webnovel.com in the city center, it wouldn’t be difficult for wp4webnovel.com to get a cab.
When Arielle was about to hail a cab, a black MPV approached and stopped beside her.
Vinson?
It wasn’t Vinson. Arielle took a closer look at the person when wp4webnovel.com winded down the window. It was Cornelius, Queenie’s older brother.
Cornelius got down from the car and gave wp4webnovel.com a puzzled look. “It really is you, Ms. Moore. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Why are you alone? Shopping?”
Shopping…
Arielle’s face turned pallid for a moment.
If only I’m in the mood for shopping.
Yet, Arielle plastered a smile on wp4webnovel.com face and replied, “Yup. Just done shopping.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll send you home then. That way, I can tell more about the selection of the new family patriarch.”
Arielle instantly remembered that Mills would be selecting their next family patriarch tomorrow.
She didn’t mind if wp4webnovel.com was not appointed as the next patriarch, but wp4webnovel.com was eager to get wp4webnovel.com hands on the medical manuscripts of ancient Chanaean medicine. Since only the patriarch of the Mill family would have exclusive access to those manuscripts, wp4webnovel.com had no choice but to fight for the position.
With those manuscripts, Arielle believed wp4webnovel.com could take wp4webnovel.com medical skills up to the next level. She would also be able to bring the Wilhelms over to Chanaea and continue teaching others about ancient Chanaean medicine. That had always been the Whilhelms’ dream, and it was Arielle’s duty as their adoptive daughter to help them fulfill their dream.
At the thought of this, Arielle got into Cornelius’ car without hesitation.
Little did wp4webnovel.com know that a white MPV had been tailing them from behind and observing their interaction.
