A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 401
Wendy had no idea what Kelsea was trying to do.
She looked at Kelsea with confusion. The latter was already smiling sweetly. Somehow, that sweet smile looked awkward on her cold and apathetic face.
Kelsea wasn’t even looking at Arielle. Instead, she was greeting the man sitting beside Arielle, “Harvey, you’re here too?”
Harvey turned around upon hearing her voice and said calmly, “Hey, Kelsea.”
Kelsea grabbed Wendy and sat down next to Harvey. She then asked in a sweet tone, “Harvey, do you mind if we join you?”
With how powerful and influential the Jupiters were, it wouldn’t make sense if they minded her to join them for a meal.
However, almost right away, Harvey answered with a frown, “I do mind.”
Kelsea stiffened at that moment, and she wondered if she had heard him wrongly.
Wendy, who was sitting next to her, felt awkward too.
Kelsea took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Harvey, you’re joking, right?”
Without sparing her any mercy, Harvey answered, “Not at all. I’m not the host today. If you wish to join us, you
should ask the host instead.”
Kelsea had a bad feeling about this, but she still forced a smile and asked, “May I know who the host is then?”
Arielle stared at Kelsea and Wendy with a neutral expression. “Me.”
“Oh, so it’s you, Ms. Moore. Well, why don’t I pay for the meal instead? It has been a while since I’ve seen Harvey, and it’d be a great time to catch up,” Kelsea said.
Arielle was still expressionless upon hearing that. “There’s no need for that. I’ve already paid for the meal. You can treat him next time. Besides, I don’t want to see you. So, please leave now.”
Kelsea could no longer force a smile. Her expression darkened. “Arielle, are you this ill-mannered?”
Arielle raised a brow. “Speaking of manners, Ms. Morgan, if you emphasize this much on manners, shouldn’t you kneel and call me grandmaster by now?”
Kelsea’s cheeks flushed at once.
Damn it! She just had to rub it in my face! How I wish I could just get rid of her right now!
Harvey was curious to hear that. “What grandmaster?”
Arielle gave Kelsea a meaningful look before saying, “It’s just something that happened between us. Ms.
Morgan should know what I’m referring to.”
Kelsea’s face paled with anger.
It seemed like she had to start playing pitiful instead of facing Arielle head-on.
I refuse to believe that Arielle would be more important to Harvey. After all, I’m his best friend’s cousin.
Kelsea pinched hard on her thigh, and soon, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
She started playing the victim. “Harvey, don’t be fooled by her appearance. In the Haut Monde last time, I used a chess tactic that she came up with, but I didn’t know it was hers. She even formed the word ‘stupid’ on the chessboard. She’s nothing but a scheming witch!”
Harvey’s eyes narrowed at that. A hint of hostility flashed in his gaze. “Witch?”
Kelsea noticed that Harvey was boiling with rage, and she assumed he was falling for her tricks and hating on Arielle already.
She immediately added, “Yes, she’s a witch. She tends to skip classes and argue with the teachers. Not only that, she has a messy private life too. Even after knowing that Vin has a fiancée, she’s still keeping an ambiguous relationship with him. And now, she’s even having a meal with you. I’m sure you know of her ulterior motives by now. Isn’t it suspicious how she’s trying to shoo me away as soon as she saw me? She’s
afraid that I’d expose her true colors in front of you!”
