Chapter 211 The Taboo Of The Actonwards

Arielle thought for a while before answering. “He said his name is Everett Eakins. And… he’s a

professional chess player?”

Vinson shook his head at first and then nodded in response. “Apart from being a professional chess

player, he’s also a senior official of Jadeborough Court.”

Arielle was slightly surprised at the revelation. “If that’s so, then he indeed has the right not to greet me.”

“But now he’s become your student’s student,” Vinson said smilingly, “If you ever file a lawsuit in the

future, you don’t need to worry that no one will back you up.”

Hearing that, Arielle raised her brow. “It seems like I now have a powerful and influential grand-disciple.

Nevertheless, instead of relying on backup, I will find the evidence and hold the person responsible for

my mom’s death liable.”

Vinson nodded. At that moment, the man’s eyes were full of admiration for Arielle.

He then recalled when Arielle amazed everyone earlier that day. “Do you need me to ask everyone to

keep your identity as a pro chess player a secret?”

Casting her eyes outside the car window, Arielle rejected, “Nah-uh.”

She was no longer the Arielle who had just stepped foot in Jadeborough. Since the Southall family had

collapsed, it didn’t matter anymore if Henrick found out about her real identity. Even if he found out about

it, it was impossible that he would kick her out.

In the end, she could still stay in the Southall family and investigate Maureen’s death.

Besides, after suffering such a huge defeat, Kelsea would never want the news to spread.

Hence, she need not do anything since Kelsea would make sure no one knew about what happened that

night.

From that day onwards, Arielle had decided not to hide her identities anymore.

Soon, it was almost time for Yvette’s birthday party to begin.

When their car almost reached Yvette’s house, Arielle curled her lips into a smile and asked Vinson, “Do

you know of the Actonwards’ taboo?”

Vinson wasn’t close to Yvette. Even if they were acquainted, he wouldn’t care about her family’s taboo.

Hence, he shook his head. “What is it?”

With her eyes gleaming and a bright smile on her face, Arielle answered, “Black color.”

“Huh?” Vinson was confused. “Why is that so?”

Arielle explained smilingly, “I only learned about it today when I looked into the Actonwards’ family

history. It turned out that Yvette’s father is from Guzzur – an ancient tribe. Black color is taboo amongst

the Guzzurns. Her father resides overseas most of the time, but he came back two days ago. Most

probably, he will attend Yvette’s birthday party, so…”

Hearing that, Vinson cast a glance at his black tie. “So, I guess I should take off my tie?”

Arielle nodded. “They think that the ominous black color will bring bad luck, so you better take it off.”

Vinson nodded understandingly. “Fortunately, you didn’t pick a black suit for me, or I might unknowingly

offend others. You can go in first, and I’ll join you later. We’ve found some clues about the guy who

planted the bomb in the building, so I need to share the information with Jordan and the rest.”

“All right then. But if you’re busy, you don’t have to come. I’m more than grateful when you helped me

make the appointment with Mr. Capello, the top makeup artist.”

“Oh, don’t mention it.” Obviously, Vinson thought it was no trouble at all.

Arielle looked into the distance and soon fell into deep thoughts. I suppose Shandie must be heading to

the Actonward residence in that black gown by now.

I wonder what Yvette’s reaction will be when she sees Shandie in that black gown that she prepared for

me.

In the meantime, after having done with her makeup, Shandie headed to Yvette’s house and had

reached her doorstep.
