His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 246

Several older guests nodded at Russell's words. “Indeed. That's very understandable.”

The younger guests, on the other hand, were dubious about it. “How is it that we haven't heard anything about Ms. Actonward getting married?”

“Mr. Actonward, is this just an excuse to cover up the scandal?”

“That's right! I've also heard that Yvette and Mason are cousins!”

Russell broke into laughter as he explained, “We're distant relatives with the Moores, and it's only out of affection that Yvette calls him her cousin. As a father, do you think I'll let them be together if they were closely related?”

The crowd seemed to have bought into Russell's explanation. Even those who still harbored suspicions decided to hold their tongues.

After all, this was the Actonwards¹ family matter, and it would be more prudent for outsiders to stay out of it.

Pleased with how everyone seemed to have accepted his clarification, Russell pulled Mason in closer. “From tomorrow onward, Mason will officially become my son-in-law. As such, I'd like to ask you to delete the video recordings you may have taken. If I find anyone circulating the video, I'll have to go through the legal channels.”

The guilty parties cleared their throats awkwardly and proceeded to delete the video from their phones.

No one wanted to invite trouble to themselves, especially when the relationship between Yvette and Mason was now legitimate.

Just then, one of Russell's housekeepers suddenly rushed in with a note in his hand.

“Mr. Actonward! I've found everything out!" he shouted excitedly.

Everyone had their attention fixed on the housekeeper, not realizing that Vinson was hiding behind the door.

Arielle, however, saw him.

Vinson gave her a look of assurance, and Arielle nodded knowingly with a faint smile.
