Chapter 127 A Beauty with Multiple Masks
“That’s right, but compared to this one, I think another rumor is probably more realistic. Given that your mom is a smart, capable, and agile woman, I doubt she would end up getting assaulted.” “There’s another piece of gossip?” “Yes, the other version says that your mom dating a guy with an exceptional family background. He dumped your mom after facing rejection from his family to marry her. Your mom did not want to abort the baby, so she chose the Southalls and made a decision to marry Henrick.”
Hearing these, Arielle was even more perplexed. She questioned, “The Moores were at its prime because of how capable my mom was. In fact, the Moores could be regarded as an equal to the four big prominent families in Jadeborough, joining all of you to be the fifth distinguished family. What kind was man was that who would disregard her?”
“I’ve got no clue about that.” Vinson was rather hesitant. “I heard about this from my mom, who was a close friend of your mom for a period of time. Though it might have sounded absurd, but there’s probably some truth in it if it comes from my mom.” Arielle requested, “I want to meet your mom.” Vinson’s heart skipped a beat as he was not prepared for that. To him, it was quote a boring chore to bring a girl to see his parents.
However, he actually felt delighted to do that albeit knowing Arielle wanted to see his mother for a different reason. What’s wrong with me? Seeing that Vinson fell silent, Arielle faltered, “Is it a bad idea? If it’s not convenient for you, I’ll find a way to see her…” Shaking his head, he returned to his senses. “No… it’s fine. I just need to come up with an excuse.” “An excuse?” “Yes,” he explained, “My mom has all the pet peeves of the rich and famous that you can think of. She usually doesn’t meet any stranger. Moreover, the Southalls is nothing like what the Moores used to be in the past.
She won’t be willing to see anyone from the Southall family. Anyhow, it’s not impossible. I just need to create a reason for that.” “What would it be?” “Be my girlfriend.” She gasped in disbelief. “What? What did you just say?” He put on a poker face. “Frankly, my mom has been pushing me to go for blind dates recently, but I’m not interested at all. If you could pretend to be my girlfriend, it would save us a lot of trouble.
She will come looking for you naturally.” Arielle was caught in a dilemma. “Um… this is going to get very complicated. What if we can’t find another lie to cover up the lies said? I’m referring to my dad… I mean, Henrick. Once he has the impression that we’re an item, he will do everything to make me marry you.” “There’s nothing wrong with that,” Vinson replied casually, “Both our courtship and marriage could be a fake relationship.
I don’t plan to get married. So, if you don’t plan to either, we can possibly collaborate and create a win-win situation for ourselves. After all, isn’t a dream come true for you to marry me?” Arielle almost puked and choked herself to death at the sound of that. She clarified, “I’ve said this repeatedly, that was just a joke…” He insisted, “You should seriously consider it even if it’s a joke. With the title ‘Mrs. Nightshire’ bestowed upon you, you can easily uncover the truth about your mom’s death or take any revenge.
Things will definitely be so much smoother than now. As soon as your objective is achieved or once I’ve found the love of my life, we can get a divorce. I can see only pros and no cons in this ideal plan.” “This…” Carter walked in to them and interrupted the conversation.
