Chapter 580
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Wendy was so agitated that her eyes turned crimson red, but Vinson remained calm as always as he responded over the phone. âThis has nothing to do with that. That customer of ours is doing fine now, and heâll be joining us at the press conference soon.â
âBut I thought the news stated that he was still in the emergency room.â The girl widened her eyes in bafflement.
Thatâs true, but Arielle managed to treat him. Heâs doing better now, so I wonât be needing your help.â
There was pride in Vinsonâs voice as he explained the situation to Wendy.
âWait. What?â The girl could not believe what she heard. Arielle? Sheâs trained in medicine? Howâs that possible?
Before Wendy could ask any more questions, Vinson continued, âIf you really want to help me, then leave my house as soon as possible. Like I told you, you and I, itâs not going to happen. Please stop wasting both our time.â
The call dropped the second Vinson finished his sentence.
Obviously, the man thought he had said enough and made himself abundantly clear.
As if her heart had been broken into a million pieces, Wendy then started crying uncontrollably.
âWhatâs this? Whatâs the matter, Wendy?â asked Susanne, who was caught off guard by the sudden weeping. âDid that stupid boy turn you down? I know youâre just trying to be helpful. He has no idea how lucky he is to have you. But donât you worry. Iâll scold some sense into him. Youâll see.â
Having only raised up boys, Susanne had no idea how to comfort the young lady. All she could do was assure Wendy that she would give Vinson a piece of her mind.
âYou donât have to do that, Mrs. Nightshire.â More than anything else, Wendy worried that Susanne would despise her the way the woman did at the freshman party.
That was why she had to prevent Susanne from finding out that not only could Arielle play the piano well, but her rival could also practice medicine.
Before Susanne could reach the phone, Wendy quickly pulled the womanâs hand toward her. âI wasnât crying because I was sad. These are tears of joy. Vin didnât turn me down; he just told me that the physician was unnecessary because they managed to save the customer, who even promised to join the press conference to reveal the truth.â
Still in doubt, Susanne narrowed her eyes at the young lady before confirming with her. âAre you sure?
Because you looked pretty sad to me whenâ¦â.
âI was only sad becauseâ¦â Wendy paused for a while and plastered on a smile. âIt was only because I couldnât do much to help Vin. I felt useless since I didnât contribute much. Thatâs why I was sad.â
Susanne then breathed a sigh of relief. âYou silly girl. What did that boy do to deserve someone like you?
Trust me when I say that youâre the only person I want as my daughter-in-law. Nobody else. Just you.â
With that, a shy but grateful smile slowly appeared on Wendyâs face. âI⦠I donât know what to say, Mrs.
Nightshire.â
âYou donât have to say anything. Just go back to your class and leave everything to me. Iâll talk to Vin as soon as the Soir Coffee incident blows over.â
As glad as she was to hear that, Wendy was still concerned if Susanne, someone who had no authority in the Nightshire Group, could command Vinson to marry her against his will.
Pursing her lips, the young lady decided to hide her worries for the moment and embraced Susanne.
âDonât worry, Mrs. Nightshire. Iâll do whatever I can to help Vin from here on out.â
Wendy also promised herself that she would do all she could to make Vinson fall in love with her.
After much anticipation, the press conference was finally about to start.
