Arielle glanced at the bills and the numbers with contempt.
Nonetheless, she didn't reveal her emotions but merely answered cutely, “Alright.” She turned around and left the study.
The moment Arielle turned around, her smile faded away.
Later, once Arielle arrived at her room, she received a call from an unknown caller.
She tilted her head and gazed at it bewilderedly, for the calling code indicated that it was from Jadeborough. Since Henrick registered the number for her, not many people would call her on it. In that case, who is calling me?
Out of curiosity, she picked up the phone and
asked, “Hi, may I know who this is?”
The next moment, a woman replied crossly, “Where are you? Let's meet up.”
After confirming that the voice was unfamiliar, Arielle frowned and said, “I'm afraid you have the wrong number.”
“Not at all,” she said coldly, “I'm Vinson's mom.
I'll meet you at Soir Coffee in Nightshire Square half an hour later.”
With that, she ended the call without giving her a chance to say no.
Arielle's gaze dimmed as she put her phone down.
If I'm not mistaken, Vinson's mom is Susanne Stone.
To a certain extent, Susanne's attitude was similar to Vinson's, for both of them didn't give others any chance to say no.
Arielle remembered Vinson said that Susanne and her mom used to be good friends.
Therefore, Arielle thought she could get some information from Susanne about her father.
Although Susanne didn't talk nicely, Arielle wanted to meet her anyway. She told Henrick that Vinson was bringing her out for supper.
Meanwhile, Henrick was delighted upon hearing it and agreed to it right away. He even reminded Arielle caringly, “I'm not a conservative man. So, I won't ask you to come home early. Have fun.”
In other words, he won't mind if I spend the night elsewhere.What an open-minded father!
