A Beauty with Multiple Masks Chapter 264

Surprisingly, Arielle’s irritation the entire morning was soothed by a single remark from Vinson.

Sure enough, I don’t need to explain myself to someone who understands me!

She stared at him intently. Suppressing the odd feelings within her, she answered with a nod. “It wasn’t me who killed Shandie, but the man who hacked into my computer. He said he wanted to give me a hand. However, I think this is actually a warning instead. He has investigated everything that happened while I was in Jadeborough, so he knows that Cindy will definitely push the blame on me when something happens to Shandie…”

Casting her gaze into the distance, Arielle looked out the window at the drizzle that had started without her knowing. Then, her eyes narrowed while she continued, “A car has probably been sent to pick Cindy up by now.”

And shell certainly kick up fuss of epic proportions when she comes backIvimagined myriad of reasons that mighbring her backbut this reason never once crossed my mindBut theneven she herself

Visualizing Cindy’s expression when she flew into a rage upon her return, a faint shiver ran down Arielle’s back.

At that precise moment, Vinson, who was sitting across from her, declared out of the blue“Let’s get married.”

What?” Arielle lifted her eyes in utter surprise, only to meet the man’s profound black ones.

As the two of them locked gazes, she seemingly smelled the fragrance of roses.

Nonetheless, she snapped back to her senses in no time. Bursting into laughter, she teasedAre you still joking with me at such time?”

Conversely, Vinson’s expression was exceedingly serious

“I’m not joking with you. I’m serious.”

Hearinthat, Arielle couldn’t quite laugh anymore. Her chortles ceased, and she inquired, “In that case, what did you mean by that?”

“If you marry me, you can live here. No matter how great Cindy’s wrath, she can’t possibly get into this place. Besides, with me here, she has to consider twice before doing anything to you. Furthermore, despite the sparse interior of this mansion, it’s surrounded by bodyguards who have masked their presence. And if you live with me, yodon’t need to worry about the threat of the man who hacked into your computer.”

AdmittedlyArielle was enticed.

Aftecontemplating for two seconds, she admitted, “It’s indeed a brilliant idea, but… will it be a hardship to you?”

Vinson was taken aback for a moment before he gave a cough and replied, “No, not at all. Don’t forget that my mother has arranged a blind date for me. I’m not interested in the woman, so you’ll be helping to shield me from that delusional

woman if you marry me.”

For some inexplicable reason, Arielle’s mood lifted when she heard him calling Wendy “delusional.”

“So, what do you think?” Vinson looked at her intently, asking, “Shall we get married?”

Don’t be so hasty to decline.” Vinson then added, “This is something that will only benefit you. If we both find someone whom we love in the future, you’ll be getting half of my assets after we divorce. Perhaps you’ll even be listed on Forbes’ Billionaires List.”

InwardlyArielle muttered, I’ve already been on Forbes’ Billionaires List long ago with midentity abroadBut undeniablyrank little lower than himHoweverthatonly one omy identitiesSumming up all my identitiesmy assets arennecessarily lesser than his.

Of course, she wouldn’t say that outright since she knew that he wasn’t the kind of person to care about such a thing.

Arielle lowered her head and turned the matter over in her mind. Vinson didn’t pressure her either, so the two of them merely sat there quietly.

Unbeknownst to her, the man who was usually calm and collected in everything actually had a thin layer of sweat on his palms right that moment.

Truth be told, he was afraid that she would decline his offer.
