A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 346
One would be as heartless as an animal if one couldn’t be bothered about one’s mother.
Thus, he allowed Arielle to return in the end.
However, he did not know if the decision was right.
Vinson’s car was no longer visible, and the exhaust had already faded away. It was as though he had never come here.
Hubert let out a long sigh and turned to go back home.
In a manor in Lightspring, Gerald knocked on the door carefully. He only pushed the door open when a voice answered, “Come in.”
The lights were off, and it was freezing inside.
Even so, Gerald could see the scowl on the man’s face.
He plucked up his courage and said, “Duke, I’ve confirmed the news. The bomb wasn’t dismantled. Someone cut the wire off to defuse it. It wasn’t Arielle who did it, though.”
When Gerald came to a stop, the man’s expression relaxed.
My plan was thorough. Arielle couldn’t have known about the bomb, let alone cut the correct wire to dismantle it. She’s just a woman. She must be terrified upon seeing it. There’s no way she’d be brave enough to cut the wire. We’re not shooting a movie here.
“Who is it?” he demanded, tamping down his irritation.
Gerald took a deep breath. “It was Aaron Holt.”
The man’s brows furrowed upon hearing the familiar name. “Why is he in Chanaea?”
Gerald shook his head. “The exact reason is not known. Our men saw him on the cruise. He must’ve held a grudge after we took his gun back then and kept an eye on us. I believe Aaron dismantled the bomb to save himself and saved Arielle in the process.”
The man’s expression relaxed slightly.
He’d rather find out it was Aaron behind it than admit that a woman had done it.
Gerald studied his expression and said, “Should we go to Aaron? He has ruined our plan more than once.”
“No,” the man uttered icily. “His family is mysterious. Before we find out more about them, we should stay low. Inform the others to stay out of their family’s affairs.”
“Got it,” Gerald answered. “What about Arielle?”
“She’s just a woman,” scoffed his superior. “Ignore her for now. She won’t do anything serious. Our targets are Vinson and the other three. Leave the others alone for
now.”
“Understood!” Gerald gave him a polite bow and turned
to leave the room that soon fell into silence.
The man’s gaze fell on a photo of a delicate woman with a baby in her arms.
The baby was him, and the woman was no longer alive.
Anguish flashed across his gaze as he suddenly lost it and swept everything to the ground. The room was a complete mess as though a tornado had just passed.
The next day, back at the Southall residence, Arielle finally finished her work.
However, her subordinate sent a text saying Teddy wasn’t done yet.
Arielle wasn’t really worried. Cindy’s matter remained unresolved, so even if Teddy was ready, she had to stall for time and wait for the perfect opportunity to arrive.
