Chapter 21

Shandie’s lips curled up into a smile as wide as that of some socialiteand froze in place

while her brain thawed.

What... Arielle? Did I hear that right?

There was a flurry of discussion within the crowd as well.

“Who's Arielle Moore?”

“Isn't Shandie Southall the champion? Why isn't she made the brandambassador? Is Soir

Coffee breaking the convention this year and opting for someone elseapart from the

competition winner?”

“Even if they are not picking the champion, should they not select acandidate amongst the

top three finalists? I don't see this Arielle Moore amongst any of them.”In the gallery, the unsettled Cindy turned and glared furiously at theequally stunned Arielle

in the row behind, who wondered why Vinson would make her theambassador of the coffee

chain.

“Arielle!” Cindy snarled. “What have you done? Why did you pullsomething like that on

your sister?”

Cindy's eyes looked like they were about to pop, and were they not in apublic space, Arielle was sure that the woman would have skinned heralive.

Henrick, too, had a look of surprise on him, but it quickly evolved into asmile. As both the girls were his daughters, it made no difference tohim who got the job since he

was going to get paid either way.

Henrick set aside some of his biases toward Arielle and regarded herwarmly. “How could

you not share this great news with me earlier, Sannie?”

Arielle was quite impassive inside.

How did he manage to forget that he was her father when he upgradedhimself to first class seats and left her all by herself in the economicclass?

As disgusted as she felt, she did not show her emotions as sheshrugged nonchalantly. “I only got to know about this too, Dad.”“Liar!” Cindy seethed through gritted teeth. “You clearly did this onpurpose!”

She was in the opinion that Arielle held back in a bid to see Shandieand herself sorely

disappointed.

The vicious girl!

“Cindy!” Henrick bristled at her. “What are you doing? There's no needto differentiate because Sannie and Shandie are both our children. Sostop this.”

Cindy raged until she was heaving, but had to rein herself in in thepresence of Henrick.

Arielle only smiled wryly when she looked at Cindy.

She had no desire to become some ambassador as she thought it wastoo much of a hassle

and an impediment to the advancement of her plans. Seeing the hatredin Cindy's eyes, however, made her feel that this was one possible wayby which she could get back at

them-pissing Cindy off and dashing Shandie’s hopes would surely rendthis family apart.

So long as there was disharmony between them, fault-lines which shecould exploit would surely surface, and that suited her just fine.

Upon seeing the sliver of a smile upon Arielle’s lips, Cindy became evenmore unwavering in her belief that it was all intended on Arielle’s part,and was determined to not let the girl clinch that role which she feltrightfully belonged to her own precious daughter.

At that moment, the host took center—stage after conferring withVinson. “Could we have

you on stage, Ms. Moore?”

Arielle’s eyes coincidentally met Vinson’s when she looked toward theplatform, and though she could not tell what sort of mood he was inthrough his dark gaze, she could only comply at the host's behest.

As Arielle placed one foot before the other in the direction of the stage,all everyone else

could see was a slender silhouette from the rear.

Nevertheless, that was enough to impress upon them her gracefulness.Her poise was like a butterfly in flight, and the majestic air she exudedwas not to be understated.

Arielle’s unadorned face did little to diminish her ability to dazzle. Hervisage, as radiant as the sun and as pristine as the crescent moon, leftthe observing Shandie gnashing her own teeth

onstage.

She slowly turned herself around after she stepped into the spotlightwhile the audience

enthralled by her back-view continued to be transfixed in anticipation.Gorgeous!

She is simply gorgeous!
