Wearing a naive expression on her face, Arielle replied, “I... I haven't thought it through yet. After all, I've only known him for a short while. Won't it be too reckless if I say yes to him hastily?”
“That's right! Don't give him an answer now. Otherwise, he might think that you're an easy target.” Henrick was super satisfied with his daughter.
Luck favors the gullible one. Perhaps that's what Vinson was attracted to, the sweet and ignorant type.
Seeing how astonished Cindy was, a smug appeared on Arielle's face. “Do we still need to go to the Nightshire residence?” “No, we are not!”
Of course not. We shouldn't disrupt it since everything seems to be going well. We'll shoot ourselves in the foot if we were to show our cards to early and demand benefits at this point.
“Since we're not heading out...” Arielle yawned. “Then, I'll go upstairs and take a rest. I'm really exhausted. I have one more shoot this afternoon as the ambassador of Soir Coffee.”
“Quickly go and have a good rest.” Henrick held her hand and asked with utmost concern, “Can you go up by yourself?”
Arielle nodded.
He said affectionately, “Rest well. I'll make sure no one disturbs you until you wake up.”
“Thanks, Dad. I'll go up now.” Arielle smiled.
Before striding upstairs, she purposely said to
Cindy, “Thanks, Aunt Cindy. I'll remember your kind thoughts and return you the favor when I'm married into the Nightshire family.”
Her words sent a cold chill down Cindy's spine. At the same time, she was infuriated.
How dare she threatens me! It's such a pity to lose even before the game begins.
Cindy could only faked a smile and gestured Arielle to go to her room.
Henrick was grinning from ear to ear. After sending Arielle upstairs, he instructed Cindy, “Henceforth, you should personally supervise the kitchen to make more nutrient-dense foods for Sannie every day. She's been working really hard recently. Also, get her the best etiquette coach soonest possible.”
