Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 1244 Mole

Vinson appeared hesitant. "Then, that woman..."

Arielle shot him a glare. "You brought this upon yourself, so you figure out how to deal with it. I don't have the time or energy to care about her."

Vinson flirtatiously kissed Arielle on her forehead, nose, and eventually her lips.

"Come on, Darling. Give me a hand. You know how terrible my acting skills are. I might end up making her run away."

Arielle threw her hands up. "Don't give me that. Your acting skills are pretty good that even I fell for them."

"I tried my best only because I found out about the mole."

"Who's the mole?" Arielle asked sternly.

"Someone you'd never suspect."

"Stop leaving me guessing. Tell me!" she demanded, pinching the man's waist.

"It's Geoffrey," Vinson answered in a hushed voice.

Arielle was visibly shocked.

"Geoffrey? Are you sure about this? Hasn't he been working for your family all these years?"

"Yeah. He pretty much watched me grow up."

Arielle creased her brows. "What on earth is going on?"

Vinson sighed. "He really is loyal to the family. I'm sure of that. He's served us faithfully even after so many years. He only became a mole about two days ago. I ran a security check on all the housekeepers and bodyguards for the family's safety. That's when I noticed that Geoffrey had suddenly received a thirty-million sum in his bank account two days ago."

"Thirty million?" The crease between Arielle's brows deepened.

Thirty million didn't mean a lot to her, but it was an unimaginable figure to a butler. Despite working at the Nightshire Manor, Geoffrey's monthly salary only amounted to about eight thousand. It was good money, but his total income would be no more than two hundred thousand a year.

Thus, having thirty million in his account was certainly unusual.

"Did he really betray your family for thirty million?"

"No," Vinson continued. "I initially thought he did it for the money too. But after staying calm and getting Rayson to investigate further, we realized something."

"What is it?"

"Geoffrey's wife and child have gone missing from the suburbs they live in. I secretly got a hold of the surveillance cameras outside his house. It turned out that a group of men broke into the house and took his wife and child away by force."

Realization dawned upon Arielle.

With his family's life at stake on top of receiving a bribe of thirty million, it was no surprise that Geoffrey would switch sides.

"His family's and thirty million versus his employer of several decades-things must have been really hard for Geoffrey," muttered Arielle. "How do you intend to solve this?"

"First, we'll replace Geoffrey's family and make sure they're safe. Then, we'll try to get him to return to our side. I'm sure he'll come around once he replaces out that his family is okay."

Arielle nodded. "This is all we can do. In that case, let's carry on with our plan and wait for them to take the bait."

"Yeah."

Arielle fell silent for two seconds before suddenly remembering the Mill family. "I'll be heading over to the Mills' place from tomorrow onward to take part in their heir selection. It'll last for three days. Their medical manuscripts are really important to me, so I'll have to be there. I'm counting on you to hold the fort here."
