His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 985

Though Terry had not been acquainted with Arielle for very long, he found himself trusting her easily for some reason.

As a result, any residual trace of Terry's skepticism vanished with her assurance.

Despite being in awe at Arielle, Terry could not help teasing Trisha who was looking thoroughly bewildered. “Trisha, you're ranked number six in our class!” He prodded her enthusiastically. “Looks like we're shortlisted for the interviews.”

With great effort, Trisha regained her composure as she turned to gaze at Arielle. At the reminder of her being granted an interview with Maxwell University, a mixture of shock, delight, and anxiety appeared on her face.

“Sannie, how have you never told me any of this?” she asked apprehensively.

Arielle answered gently, “I was going to tell you that I don't need the spot to get into Maxwell University and that I think you deserve this more than anyone else. However, you never did give me the opportunity to tell you this, you know.”

With a sob of gratitude, Trisha threw herself into her friend's arms.

“Thank you, Sannie. Thank you so much!”

Pleasantly surprised, Arielle returned the hug with one arm around Trisha's back and caressed her head with the other hand.

Unnoticed by the girls locked in an embrace, a pair of dark, sinister eyes were watching them closely, like a predator watching its prey before it moved in for the kill.

The pair of eyes belonged to a tall, broad-shouldered man. He was clad in a suit of jet-black which served to camouflage him seamlessly against the darkest shadows of the auditorium. His carefully measured, shallow breathing allowed him to hide

himself without being noticed by a single soul.

Despite being rooted at the spot for over half an hour, not a single person had been aware of his presence.

At that moment, another dark shadow flitted across the entrance to the auditorium and arrived at the large man's side.

“Duke, that young lady is Arielle Moore.”

The large man raised his eyebrows. “A rare beauty, indeed.”
