Chapter 714
As far as Donovan knew, Arielle was either taking leaves or sleeping in class recently; she had not been paying attention to her studies at all.
Moreover, he refused to believe that Arielle was not affected by what happened the day before.
If he could not get her, then he wanted her to get out of the preparatory class so that she would be out of his sight and mind.
With that decision made up in his mind, Donovan decided to increase the difficulty level of the exam.
Although freshmen tend to get the same content in examinations, it was different for the preparatory class. There were several subjects, including advanced mathematics, that he was in charge of preparing.
Therefore, he swore to himself that he was going to get rid of Arielle.
How could Arielle not know what Donovan was planning to do?
She sneered internally before ignoring Donovan’s gaze. Instead, she turned to Jared and asked, “How’s your preparation going for the upcoming exam?”
Jared nodded. “I think I won’t be one of the worst students.”
“Good to hear that.” Arielle nodded before turning to Henry. “What about you?”
Henry cleared his throat and mumbled, “I might be saying goodbye to you all. I’m not a really studious person…”
Arielle sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
Henry was unlike Jared; his academic foundation was rather weak, to begin with. There was nothing Arielle could do but to let nature run its course.
On the other side, at Nightshire Manor.
After Vinson’s men brought Susanne back to the manor, she had been in poor health. When she slept, she was drowned in countless nightmares.
The main issue was not that Vinson had married a woman with a low social standing or that Arielle was not actually a country bumpkin whom the Southalls had abandoned. In fact, she had a rather complicated identity that she dared not get involved with someone like her.
Moreover, there was nothing Arielle had that made her want to risk it other than her piano playing skills.
Right then, the butler entered the room.
“Mrs. Nightshire, Ms. Greene is here, and she’s packing up her things.”
Susanne paled drastically as she scrambled to get out of bed.
“Quick, take me to her!”
By the time Susanne found Wendy, she was done with her packing and was about to leave the house.
“Wendy!” Susanne yelled as she grabbed Wendy’s suitcase. “What are you doing? Are you really going to move out and leave me all alone here?”
With tears in her eyes, Wendy started sobbing. “Ms. Stone, you’ve heard what Mr. Nightshire said earlier. I have my dignity too! Mom has already rented a place for me away from here, so I’m going to move in there right away.”
“Why are you listening to that brat? I’m his mother and the owner of this manor! If I say you can stay, then you can stay.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Stone.” Wendy shook her head. “It’s not right for me to stay here. Mr. Nightshire is already married. If I… If I insist on staying, I’ll only be laughed at by the others.”
Furious, Susanne stomped her foot.
“That d*mn brat! How could he get married without telling me?”? Then, Susanne held Wendy’s hands and said, “Wendy, you have to trust me. In less than a week, I’ll get him to divorce that woman. By then, you can come back, and it won’t be wrong for you to stay. I’ll introduce you to everyone as the only daughter-in-law I have!
Wendy was moved, but still, she gave Susanne a polite smile. “Ms. Stone, what they have is mutual love. I don’t want to be the third party. I’ll still come to visit you after today, but it’s best for you not to intervene in their relationship anymore. I don’t want to be a home wrecker.”
“Look at you. You’re good in every aspect, except for the fact that your heart is too soft. Vin is only interested in her because she’s someone new. It’s not true love at all. Just trust me and give me a week. Don’t give up on Vin yet, okay?”
A bitter smile appeared on Wendy’s face as she nodded, but in her mind, she was sneering.
So what if Arielle is legally Vinson’s wife? Does she think that she can get Susanne’s acknowledgment?
Their marriage is nothing but a joke!
In the end, Wendy still left with her suitcase.
The moment Wendy left, Susanne called Vinson.
