A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 636
Wendy paled as she asked in mild disbelief, “Vinson’s subordinate? You’re kidding, right?”
Even if he did arrange for one of his subordinates to follow Arielle, he wouldn’t hire a fifteen or sixteen year-old kid, would he?
She had to be kidding.
The girls who had gotten beaten up stared at Blake in anger, but they didn’t dare to do anything since he was strong and clearly skilled. Instead, they said to Wendy, “They must be lying! She already got kicked out of the Southall family, so why would Vinson do that for her? Let’s call the police!”
Wendy had been genuinely concerned over Blake being Vinson’s subordinate, but she decided to believe the other two girls.
It was a brilliant chance to kick Arielle out of Jadeborough University, and she would be an idiot not to take it.
Wendy stopped hesitating and immediately called the police.
Blake knew he actually got Arielle in trouble and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have done that. You can call the police, but this has nothing to do with Ms. Moore, so please don’t drag her into this. I’ll take responsibility.”
“Did you hear that?” the two girls asked Wendy. “He’s
terrified because we’re calling the police! He’s obviously not under Mr. Nightshire.”
Wendy finally relaxed and looked at Arielle. “You were the one who coerced this child into beating us up. You’re not getting away with this.”
“Okay,” Arielle said with a nod. “None of us are getting away with this, that’s for sure.”
Her beautifully clear eyes shone calmly like the surface of a still lake, sending chills down Wendy’s spine.
She didn’t understand why Arielle was still so calm and couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“You—”
Wendy hadn’t even finished her sentence when Arielle interrupted, “You guys can wait here for the police, then. I’m going to go buy this kid a drink. Then we’ll all wait together.”
As she spoke, she picked up Blake’s hand and prepared to cross the road.
“Stop right there!” the tall girl called out. “You’re trying to run away, aren’t you? You’re not leaving!”
“Don’t worry,” Arielle said calmly. “It’s not like I’m a stranger to you all. You can still report me even if I run away, which I won’t.”
The tall girl hesitated for a second but finally let Arielle
go after finding reason in her argument.
However, once she turned around, she caught sight of Wendy’s pale face.
Confused, she asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you so
pale?”

Wendy bit her lip and said, “Something feels off. Maybe we shouldn’t call the police.”
The two girls didn’t understand. “Why not?”
Wendy’s frown deepened. “Just my instinct. I’m going to call them and ask them not to come.”
“Wait!” The two girls hurriedly stopped her. “There are surveillance cameras here. They were the ones who started it, so they can’t go anywhere! This is different from Kelsea’s case. Arielle isn’t the heroine anymore.”
Wendy started wavering again.
One of the girls continued saying, “If we back out now, they might arrest us for making a fake call!”
Wendy gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, then we’ll wait for the police.”
No matter what, Arielle shouldn’t have coerced that boy into using violence. It isn’t like I’m framing Arielle for something she hasn’t done.
If that little boy is really Vinson’s subordinate, then he
could get a clear look at what Arielle is actually like.
At that thought, she gripped the edge of her skirt, and her sweet face suddenly morphed into a grim smile.
She looked over, only to see Arielle walking into the store with the boy.
The other two girls caught sight of the same thing.
The tall girl smirked and said, “I can’t believe she’s still in the mood to buy drinks! She’s probably just putting on an act to look calm when she’s actually terrified on the inside.”
