Chapter 95 A Beauty with Multiple Masks
Arielle lowered her gaze silently. Vinson couldn’t tell what was on her mind because her eyes weren’t visible to him. Just when Vinson thought he wouldn’t get an answer, she suddenly looked up. “Revenge.” “Huh?” Vinson thought he was hearing things. Arielle stared at the landscape outside and revealed, “I came back to take revenge for my mother.” “Revenge?” Vinson was astonished. He immediately realized who she was talking about.
“Oh, you mean Mrs. Southall… No, Ms. Moore. Rumor has it that your mom committed suicide because she suffered from depression. You don’t think she killed herself?” “Of course not!” Arielle stated firmly. “I don’t remember my childhood clearly, but there are snippets I remember. There are clues to prove my mom didn’t commit suicide. For example, the moment she died, the Moore family became the Southall family.
Also, I couldn’t find any traces of my mom in that house. I’m pretty sure she was murdered instead.” Vinson’s gaze grew dark. “Who do you suspect? Your dad?” Arielle nodded before shaking her head. “I’m not sure. It’s either him or Aunt Cindy. Perhaps they both did it together. I’m still investigating the matter. When the truth is revealed, I shall make sure the culprit gets punished!” Vinson inclined his head.
“No wonder you said you’re busy. If you discover your dad was the culprit, what will you do?” “I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves,” came Arielle’s calm reply. She wouldn’t let him off easily! “Got it.” Vinson stared at her. “If you need my help, just let me know. You don’t have my name card, but you have my number. Just give me a call.” Arielle lowered her gaze. “Thank you.” Strangely, Vinson’s words gave her a sense of security.
Before she realized it, he had become her pillar of strength and support. Vinson inquired, “By the way, do you want me to call off the collaboration between my company and Southall Group?” Arielle stiffened. “Didn’t you say you’ll call it off?” “It depends on you,” Vinson responded, his gaze tender. Warmth spread in Arielle’s heart as she told him, “Go ahead and call it off. Shandie’s too annoying, so I want her to shut up for now.”
“Got it,” answered Vinson with a nod. “If you want me to resume the collaboration, just call me.” Arielle suddenly had an urge to spill everything out, but she only managed a curt, “Thank you.” Vinson pretended to touch his ears impatiently. “I told you that you don’t have to thank me.”
Arielle couldn’t stop herself from giggling. The reason she returned to the country was to find out the truth and avenge her mom before restoring the Moores’ former glory. Before she achieved her goals, she wasn’t thinking of extending her social circle lest her friends got implicated.
Right then, it suddenly occurred to her that it would be nice to have a friend like Vinson. Soon, they arrived at the Southall residence. Arielle got off at the foot of the hill lest someone else grew suspicious. Vinson gave her one last look and parted his lips to say, “Do you remember my suggestion? You should run a DNA test if possible. If you find it uncomfortable to do it at other hospitals, you can ask for my help.”
He made a gesture for her to give him a call. Arielle inclined her head before closing the door. She watched as Vinson drove away. Meanwhile, Shandie arrived home a few minutes earlier than Arielle. Immediately, she went to complain to Cindy.
