His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 851

Arielle had never thought of herself as a good person.

On the contrary, she'd always make sure to take an eye for an eye. And just because Matthias had a change in attitude didn't mean she'd forgive him for his past actions.

That being said, she still did everything in her power to help reduce his sentence, even though Matthias' crimes were enough to send him away to the Specialized Forces Prison.

“Ten years...” Matthias muttered, his expression virtually unreadable.

“If you can't find a job ten years later, you can come to me,” Arielle said, shocking Matthias even more.

He knew right there and then that he could never hold a candle to Arielle.

Matthias choked back his tears and forced

a smile. “All right. If I can't find a job upon my release, I'll be sure to ask you for help.”

In actuality, Matthias had planned on taking his own life before serving his sentence. After all, what was the point in living without a purpose? However, Arielle's words had instilled him with hope and given him a reason to live on.

Besides, it'd be stupid to sacrifice so much for someone as heartless as Cindy.

After leaving the ward with the contracts in hand, Arielle turned toward Vinson. “Feels good to have this sudden windfall. Let's go. I'll buy you a nice meal.”

Vinson grinned cheekily as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Okay! Are you also going to take care of me for the rest of your life?”

Even though his tone was languid, there was still an unmistakable hint of mischief in his eyes that made Arielle think she was getting teased.

To make matters worse, Vinson was inching closer, with his unwavering gaze still fixed on her.

“What are you doing? Keep your distance from me!” Arielle snapped as she pushed him away.

Unfortunately, Vinson was too quick and grabbed her wrists in retaliation.

Arielle struggled to break free, but when she miscalculated her strength, her palm got flung right up into Vinson's face.
