Chapter 1231 Mistress

Judging from Arielle’s expression, Susanne knew that she had guessed it correctly.

A frown appeared between her brows as she let out a sigh. “Sannie, Vin has a stubborn temper just like his dad and doesn’t know how to express himself. So, sometimes, you might have to take the initiative to speak to him. I guarantee that as long as you give in first, he’ll definitely go along with it, and the misunderstanding between the two of you will surely clear up. After all, no matter how much in love a couple is, effective communication is still very important in a relationship. Don’t you agree?”

Arielle forced an awkward smile and replied, “All right, I know what to do…”

“OK then, let’s go in together and talk it out with that rascal. He should really learn to pacify his wife!”

Susanne dragged Arielle into the house while scolding her son.

As such, Arielle had no choice but to enter the manor that was brightly lit.

The moment the two women walked in, Susanne started yelling Vinson’s name, “Vinson! Come here now!”

One second later, a woman, who was holding a plate, walked from the kitchen to the living room hastily.

After seeing Susanne and Arielle, the woman froze for a moment but regained her composure shortly after.

She was Penelope, whom Vinson had brought home from Wave Karaoke Bar.

Penelope quickly realized what was happening and asked Susanne in an ingratiating manner, “Are you… Mrs. Nightshire?”

“Huh?” Susanne frowned.

She knew most of the servants in the Nightshire residence, and they were all middle-aged. As such, the woman was sure that Penelope was not one of them.

“Who are you? I don’t remember hiring a new helper in the house,” Susanne asked.

Penelope’s expression darkened when she heard that.

Before her family went bankrupt, she had led a lavish lifestyle and was pampered by her parents. As such, she was shocked that Susanne had mistaken her for the family’s servant.

Do I really look like a servant?

Keeping in mind the luxurious life that was awaiting her, Penelope tamped down her irritation and explained with a smile, “You’ve mistaken, Mrs. Nightshire. I’m not a servant. I… It was Mr. Nightshire who brought me back.”

“Vin?” Susanne had a bad feeling about that and looked toward Arielle instinctively.

When she saw the frosty expression on Arielle’s face, the woman’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Vinson is having an affair and has even brought this woman home?

Penelope could guess what Susanne was thinking and quickly clarified. “Mrs. Nightshire, there’s nothing going on between Mr. Nightshire and me. I’m definitely not a threat to Mrs. Nightshire here. I just need a place to stay. I’ll do anything you ask of me and won’t think about anything else.”

Susanne’s fear intensified after hearing the woman’s words, which implied that Vinson had indeed cheated on Arielle.

Even though he might not have physically cheated, there was definitely emotional cheating involved.

Knowing how headstrong Arielle was, Susanne was certain that Penelope’s appearance would cause a huge problem between Arielle and Vinson, deepening the misunderstanding between them.

What an idiot!

Susanne could not help but scold her son silently, thinking that the man must be out of his mind to forsake his beautiful and outstanding wife for a random ugly woman.

Susanne was smoking with anger, and with trembling hands, she bellowed, “You, get out of here now!”

Penelope was shocked by Susanne’s outburst.

She had thought that wives of rich men should already be used to the presence of mistresses. As such, she did not expect Susanne to react in such a manner even before Arielle said anything.

“Mrs. Nightshire, I…”

“Shut up!” Susanne interrupted the woman and continued, “Stop calling me. I don’t even know you. Someone! Get this woman out of my sight right now!”
