Those eyes were cold and dark, like those of a vicious rattlesnake.â
The man with those eyes even had a resolute grin on his face when he was staring at Arielle.
He then turned around and gave a retreat gesture and left the orphanage silently.
.
âMr. Aaron.â A bodyguard behind the man uttered, âAre you not going to take the golden opportunity an
d grab Ms. Moore now?â
âWhat a dimwit!â Aaron glared at his subordinate. âDid you forget something even more important
than this? Weâre here to bring back the head of the Mills!â
He could only grab Arielle after he dealt with the future head of the Mills.
Otherwise, his plan in Chanaea would be in
jeopardy if Vinson noticed something off. Everything will be in vain if Vinson intercepts us!
âBut...â After some hesitation, the subordinate said, âI think Mr. Sleight is getting a little too close to
Ms. Moore. What if she chooses him and leaves Vinson?â
âHmph! That guy is just trying to take advantage of the situation! We donât have to worry about him!â Aa
ron scoffed and said disdainfully.
As he was speaking, he got into the car,
Despite what he said, he couldnât help but
notice the way A Arielle smiled at Jason. Will she allow this man to pursue her?
âWe have
got to move faster!â Aaron glanced at his subordinate from the corners of his eyes. âWe need to find out
who are the candidates for the Mills.â
âYes!â the subordinate answered. He couldnât help but feel helpless. This time around, everyone has be
en very tightâlipped about the Millsâ heir selection. No one knows anything
about the candidates or the criteria for evaluation. In fact, only the family members of the Mills know tho
se details. How am I supposed to know anything when the
people who infiltrated the family are still in the dark?
Meanwhile, Arielle felt
something weird the moment Aaron left. She then cast her gaze toward a dimly lit corner.
âWhat is it?â Jason noticed her gaze. âWhat are you looking at?â
âItâs nothing...â Arielle pressed her temple and continued, âI felt like someone was watching me. Maybe
I was just imagining it.â
Jason laughed. âPerhaps one of the kids was staring at you because youâre so pretty.â
Arielle gulped when she heard that. Prior to that, Jason would always mock and insult her. Iâm so not us
ed to him complimenting me.
âPlease donât flatter me. Iâm not used to it,â she said.
Jasonâs expression
froze slightly before looking at her with a straight face. âYou havenât given me an answer for what Iâve jus
me a chance?â
Jason wanted Arielle to divorce Vinson and be with himself instead. âI know Vinson is way better than
me in many aspects. However, my intentions are pure and sincere. I can promise you that my feelings
for you will never change. These are the things Vinson will never be able to give you. Perhaps, you
should consider taking a new path in life rather than being stuck in a lousy marriage.â
âLousy?â Arielle shook her head. âNo, youâve misunderstood the situation. Iâve been wanting to tell you
that this is all a misunderstanding.â
âWhat misunderstanding? Wasnât Vinson holding another woman back there?â
Arielle pursed her lips and kept mum for a few seconds before saying, âThat was really a
misunderstanding. It was our plan all along for me to catch him cheating. Thereâs no problem with our
relationship.â
âPlan?â Jason raised his voice.
He then quickly realized he mightâve scared the kids, so he lowered his voice and said, âArielle, please
donât lie to me. That canât be a misunderstanding, nor was it a plan. You have nothing to be ashamed of
because youâve done nothing wrong! So, you donât have to lie to me
