A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Chapter 133

Trying to shake herself off the bad memory, Cindy spoke assertively, “No matter how powerful the Nightshires are, I’m certain that they won’t like any gossips and scandals to taint their family name. We’re living in the Internet era. If this matter goes viral, she’ll no longer have the last say in this.” “You’re right. We should go to them now.” Henrick instructed Arielle, “Go and get changed into something more decent. We’ll head to the Nightshire residence right away.”

Arielle squinted her eyes and shook her head. “I’m not going.” Henrick furrowed his brows while Cindy rushed to speak first, “Sannie, don’t be stubborn. We are doing this for your sake. Marrying into the Nightshire family is the best option to ensure that you live a life of abundance and with dignity.” Cindy insisted to bring Arielle along to the Nightshires and force them to accept her. We have to make a big fuss about this, so that people will know that Arielle and Vinson are together.

Then, we shall expose her scandal with another man that will completely ruin her reputation. This is the only way for Arielle to get in the bad book of the Nightshires. Cindy rehearsed her wicked plan in her head. Henrick gave Cindy an approving look. Subsequently, he commanded, “Cindy is thinking for your sake. Go get ready!” Am I an obedient person who would just welcome any kind of oppression? Sorry, that’s not part of my characteristics. Surely, Arielle had sniffed out Cindy’s evil scheme. Although she was confident that she could tackle any of Cindy’s move, things would be very different once they stepped foot into the Nightshire residence.

Arielle did not wish to become the subject of everybody’s gossip. She only wanted to investigate her mother’s case secretly, without anyone’s knowledge. At least for this period of time, I must stay out of the limelight. She glanced at Cindy and smirked. “Dad, it’s not that I’m not willing to go, but there’s no reason to go.” Puzzled, Henrick asked, “What do you mean?” Arielle sighed. “Actually, I didn’t want to tell you earlier because I was still deciding.”

Her statement made Henrick even more baffled. “Deciding on what?” “Before leaving the hotel today, Mr. Nightshire asked me to consider being his girlfriend,” Arielle said timidly. “What?” “Huh?” Both Henrick and Cindy snapped their heads upward instantly. One was shocked to the core whereas the other beamed with joy. Henrick interrogated her, “Are you serious? Is that true? What else did Mr. Nightshire say?”

Arielle continued to put on an act. “It’s true. Well, this is a private matter… I won’t lie to anyone about this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Nightshire. I’ll give him a call now.” Arielle pretended to fish for her phone from her bag. “No, no, don’t.” Henrick stopped her instantly.

If Vinson has said so, Arielle absolutely has an advantage in this matter. Calling him would be redundant and make us look too petty. A girl should play hard to get in order to make the guy go crazy about her. Henrick was thrilled but pretended to be angry. “You’re such a nuisance. Why did you keep this important detail a secret? Between us father and daughter, you should come clean with me.”
