Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Chapter 1582

Chapter 1582 The Only Hope

The reason was that the number the queen mother had wanted to call had mysteriously disappeared from her phone.

That's my only hope. Why can't I replace it?

Subsequently, she made another call and related the situation to the other party.

"Calm down. Let me ask around."

After ending the call, a sullen expression emerged on the queen mother's face. Just the thought of the contents in her computer triggered a vicious glint in her eye.

If she were to replace out who the sender was, she would make sure the latter was severely punished.

Nevertheless, despite the rage and hatred she felt, there was nothing she could do. After all, she had no inkling of who the sender was nor what the sender wanted to achieve.

A short while later, her phone rang again and she promptly answered it.

"Simon said that he would not accept any jobs from you anymore since the target is someone he cannot afford to offend." The man's deep voice sounded worried. "What happened to you? Whatever it is, you can tell me, and I'll share the burden with you."

When the queen mother heard the man express his concern, she was moved by it. After all these years, only he stayed the same. What a shame...

"It's nothing. You don't have to worry about me." The queen mother ended the call when she finished. Staring at the number on the phone, she closed her eyes. There's no way I can share my affairs with him. Meanwhile, at Matthew's residence, Nico was lying on the couch in her classically designed room. Thoughts of Vinson occupied her mind. Now that Arielle was dead, there was no way she could win him from her. After all, there was simply no competing with the deceased.

If Arielle was still alive, she would still have the confidence to wrest Vinson from the former. Unfortunately, Arielle's death had allowed her to etch herself forever in his heart.

Despite the obstacles, Nico wasn't going to give up on Vinson yet.

Since Arielle is now gone, the living should move on. There's no way Vinson can stay true to a dead person for the rest of his life, can he?

Holding that thought, she felt reinvigorated and got herself changed. She wanted to go out and see Vinson so that she could convey to him that it was fine for him to still keep Arielle close to his heart. What mattered was that he saved a spot for her in there too.

Nico had faith that with time, he would develop feelings for her as long as she stayed by his side.

"Nico, it's already late. Why are you going out?" Melissa called out to her daughter with a frown. She had just returned from Lisa's place when she saw Nico heading out.

Not expecting to run into her mother, Nico approached her and held her hand. "Mother, I'm going out to see Mr. Nightshire. I'll be back after a short chat."

Mr. Nightshire? Which Mr. Nightshire?

Knitting her brows, Melissa racked her brains but failed to identify who Nico was talking about.

"Which Mr. Nightshire? What do you want to talk to him about?" Melissa asked with a baffled expression.

"Arielle's bodyguard." Nico explained in earnest, "Mother, I truly like him and want to be together with him."

The moment she finished, she stared at her mother. Even though she was cognizant of her mother's disapproval of Vinson, she couldn't deny her feelings nor bring herself to choose Aaron. After all, she was just too hopelessly in love with him.

Just as expected, Melissa's expression drastically changed upon hearing Nico's declaration.
