A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 332

That lengthy wound shaped like a centipede extended from her wrist to the tip of her fingers when Larissa measured her own palm against it.

She could not imagine how Arielle was able to stitch up such a gruesome gash without flinching as the sight of it made her own skin crawl. At the same time, she also felt sorry for her.

When she looked over at the other woman, she found that apart from being more pallid than before, she had nary a frown on her.

My word. They are really badass, these two.

After Arielle had carefully treated every single injury on the woman’s body, she helped her into a fresh change of clothing that was loose and comfortable.

Her own back, though, had become slick with her own perspiration once all these were done with.

She then exhaled and said, “All right. Now you can tell me what happened.”

The woman eyed Larissa again with the same degree of apprehension as she did before, or it might be that she did not trust anyone outside of Vinson, so much so that even the confidence she had in Arielle seemed to stem from the former.

The discerning Larissa then spoke up, “Take your time, both of you. I’ll head outside to keep watch.”

Arielle nodded, and the woman only broke her silence after the door closed. “Thank you, Ms. Moore.”

“It’s the least I could do,” Arielle replied while she shook her head. “Go on and tell me what happened back there.”

The woman pursed her lips briefly and her brows creased into a taut furrow, as though she had been overcome by some painful recollection. “While we were tailing your car for your protection yesterday, a truck that was parked by the side suddenly rammed into us. The size of the vehicle and the sudden impact sent our car over the edge and into the river below while we were all still in it.”

She fell quiet for some time afterward, but Arielle waited patiently and made no attempt to harry her.

A whole two minutes passed before the woman continued, “Both Toni’s and Andy’s hearts stopped beating when we hit the water, and Blake was rendered unconscious… Water kept rushing inside so I smashed the side windows to pull Blake out but…”

The woman was close to choking up at this point.

“I was hurt and my head was already submerged, so I had no choice but to get myself out first. When I wanted to go and get help, those guys found their way to us. I had to leave Blake and swim across the river alone, but they kept hunting for me. It took several hours before I could replace an opening to escape.”

With that, the woman buried her face in her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

Arielle could tell that the woman desperately wanted to suppress her own emotions by the way she quivered all over. The latter let out nary a sound even as her tears gushed like a burst dam.

Arielle closed her eyes and turned away as she did not know how best to console her.

It took some time, but she waited until the woman regained her composure before she spoke again. “I’ll help seek revenge on your behalf!”

Be it the deaths of those three individuals or the two explosions prior, she remembered well the payback that was due.

The baleful expression Arielle evoked drew a quizzical look from the woman who thought that was at complete odds with the former’s exquisite appearance. The vibe she picked up on Arielle almost reminded her of Vinson.

That left her stunned for a moment there. “Thank you, Ms. Moore, but you don’t have to do anything; it’s our job to protect you. So as long as you remain safe, my brothers will not give their lives in vain.”

The woman’s loyalty took Arielle by some surprise and that put a smile on her face. “Looks like Vinson has been great to each and every one of you.”

The woman shook her head and said, “We’re in his debt. Had it not been for him, we’d have all died in Manchernius. Our lives are his to command.”
