After ending the call, Vinson returned to his room with a sullen look. When Arielle, who had just come out of the shower, noticed how gloomy he was, she asked anxiously, “What's wrong?"
“Sannie, I have to return to Chanaea at once," Vinson remarked as he began to pack.
The fact that he had to return to Chanaea was a testament to how grave the situation was. Otherwise, he would never go back without her. Hurrying up to his side to help him pack, she asked, “What happened?" “Mom has disappeared,’* Vinson answered solemnly.
“What?" Arielle had assumed something major had occurred at Nightshire Group and didn't expect Susanne to have vanished. She instantly offered, “I'll go with you."
Just as she spoke, she began to pack her belongings.
However, Vinson stopped her.
“You shouldn't. This is a crucial time for Dad, after all. How is he going to manage without you?" Vinson advised as he gazed into her eyes with both his hands placed on her shoulders.
Arielle's expression darkened immediately.
Is he stopping me? There's no way I'm staying here.
Previously, Susanne had objected to Vinson's relationship with her. But after the former approved of her, she treated Arielle very well. As a result, Arielle couldn't sit idly by and insist on going back with Vinson.
“Vinson, I'm your wife. So your mom is my mom too. Now that she's disappeared, do you think I can stay here in peace?’* With her eyebrows furrowed, Arielle gave Vinson a disapproving look.
Since the power struggle was a complex matter, going back to their country wasn't going to make much of a difference. After all, she could still return to Turlen once Susanne was found. Besides, Harvey would be around to monitor the situation, keeping her informed of everything that was going on.
