Chapter 634

“Don’t,” Arielle said. “Don’t tell him first. He must have been super busy recently. I’ll only tell him once he’s free.”

“All right. Where are you going? I can bring you there.”

It was almost time for her afternoon class, so Arielle nodded and asked, “I’m going to school. Do you have a car?”

“Of course!”

A few minutes later, Arielle was sitting on Blake’s electric bike and soaking in the warm summer sunshine, at a loss for words.

Blake chuckled and said, “I’m not old enough to get a driver’s license yet, so please bear with it, Ms.

Moore. The bright side is, we won’t end up being stuck in traffic since we’re on a bike.”

Arielle nodded with a smile and held onto Blake’s shoulders to steady herself as the electric bike sped off toward Jadeborough University.

At the same time, Southall Group released a public statement on their official account.

It was simple, basically describing how Arielle and Henrick were estranged and no longer father and daughter.

Southall Group didn’t have many followers, but since Arielle was the ambassador of Soir Coffee and had gained a decent following, the announcement still got some attention.

“But she’s so pretty! How could the Southalls bear to chase her out? Are they crazy? Gosh, I feel so bad for her.”

“Haven’t you heard? The prettiest women have the coldest hearts. She must have done something incredibly shameful for them to have no other choice.”

“Still, with a face like that, she’ll be able to find a wealthy sugar daddy. Her fans won’t need to worry.

I’m sure she’ll be fine as a mistress too.”

During her lunch break, Wendy just so happened to see Southall Group’s announcement.

She paused in surprise and felt the corners of her lips slowly curve into a smile.

Southall Group is only considered as an average-sized company, so Arielle isn’t really that outstanding.

Now that even the Southalls have kicked her out, Mrs. Nightshire would look down on her even more.

By then, Wendy had completely forgotten about her foul mood brought about by Arielle’s medical skills and cheered up.

She even began humming to herself, causing her deskmate to scowl at her. “Please stop making so much noise! I’m still working on these questions. It’s hard to figure them out without Arielle’s help.”

Wendy’s expression froze, and she stood up to go to the bathroom.

She reminded herself to ask Donovan if she could change her deskmate.

Right as Wendy had one foot out of the classroom, the other classmates also saw the announcement that Southall Group posted.

They had always sucked up to Arielle because she was good in her studies and also seemed to be close to Vinson.

But now that they saw the announcement, their admiration toward Arielle immediately lessened, and they called out to Wendy.

“Wendy! Where are you going? We’re about to go to the café across the street. Would you like to join us?”

Wendy hesitated before nodding. “Sure.”

She had never had a very good reputation in class due to Arielle’s presence, but then she realized that she had to start brushing up on her connections. With a fake smile on her face, she quickly melded into the group of girls and walked out with them hand-in-hand.

They spotted an electric bike parked next to the road once they reached the school gates.
