Chapter 498

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 498 Wendy was sobbing as she ran backstage. On the way, she passed Arielle who was on her way to the stage.

Arielle had not seen the live stream when she was backstage, but she had heard what Wendy said over the microphone.

It was obvious that Steven had not been impressed by Wendy’s performance.

Anyway, that has nothing to do with me.

Their eyes met casually. Wendy gritted her teeth and hissed, “Arielle, don’t flatter yourself. You will be no better than me! If Mr. Parker saw nothing in me, it’s best you don’t go and make a fool of yourself out there!”

Arielle swept her eyes over Wendy and said impassively, “If that’s meant as a bit of kind advice why, thank you. Otherwise, keep it to yourself.”

Wendy laughed and said, “So, you are still set on performing, just to show that you can beat me?”’

Arielle looked Wendy up and down and said calmly, “I have better things to do than that!”

Arielle had her reasons for performing. Firstly, to help Trisha; secondly, to get the attention of the man she was seeking; thirdly, for the sake of the Goddess of Hunting, the gift from Vinson.

She could not be bothered whether she could get even with Wendy However, Wendy was adamant and continued, “Come on! Tell me then why you have usurped Trisha’s performance slot? Let me tell you, Arielle, Vinson may be deceived by you, but I can see your true colors. One day, I will expose you.”

Annoyed by her persistence, Arielle plugged her ears and said coldly, “I have two funerals to attend recently; a third one makes no difference. If you bother me anymore, I’ll willingly go to yours.”

“How dare you?” Wendy spluttered red-faced.

At this moment, Wendy’s Galaxy was being moved from the stage while the Goddess of Hunting, under the careful handling by the security, was moved onto the stage.

Wendy gave it a cursory glance.

The Goddess of Hunting was made of crystal. In profile, it looked like a gleaming, glittery bow. The three feet of the piano were different from each other. Using the latest carving technology, the feet depicted the beautiful love story of the Goddess of Hunting in ancient Greek mythology.

For a moment, Wendy’s attention was completely absorbed in the Goddess of Hunting, to the extent that she had forgotten that she had just had a quarrel with Arielle.

Taking the chance of this lull, Arielle came to Trisha and urged in a whisper, “Remember, everyone will see only the artwork, so you need not feel tense. Just do what you normally do. It does not matter if you’ve made a mistake. I’m there for you.”

The words warmed Trisha’s heart, and she miraculously felt a lot better.

She nodded vigorously and said, “I’ll not let you down!”

“Good girl,” said Arielle as she patted her head, her eyes filled with gentle love for her.

Vinson was just backstage and about to inform Arielle about Steven when he saw the scene. His handsome face fell into wretchedness.

When will Arielle show me the same concern as she did with Trisha? Does a girl whom she has known for just a few days mean more to her than me?

When he looked up from this momentary pause, he saw that Arielle had started for the stage.

Vinson decided not to go after her.

It’s probably better not to tell Arielle about Steven; it will only worry her. Heck! Now I’m the one who’s anxious. What if Arielle’s standard is not as good as I’ve expected? What if Steven ridicules her as he did with Wendy?

However, Vinson managed very quickly to recompose himself.

Arielle has never let me down, and this time will be no different.
