A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 158

Vinson did not say anything, but a meaningful look crept into his eyes as he stared at Arielle. On the contrary, she did not think she did much. After all, she only did it out of convenience. She said coldly, “They ruined the building, so please help me capture the culprits.” “Don’t worry and leave it to me! As for the building, the Morgans will pay to help you rebuild it!” Arielle’s gaze turned downcast. The building was the product of her mother’s lifelong efforts. It would not be the same even if it was rebuilt. She would never have a chance to look at the secret compartment again as well. At that moment, someone wailed. “My company! My company!” The three of them looked toward the direction of the voice simultaneously.

Henrick was kneeling on the ground and crying out loud. He looked utterly ridiculous. Carter shot Arielle a look of pity and said, “This old man doesn’t even care about your life. All he sees is this building.” However, she was stoic. Ever since she discovered that Henrick was not her biological father, she no longer had any genuine feelings of kinship for him. As a result, nothing Henrick did could affect her emotionally. “I’ll go over first. Help me take care of this first and I’ll get it from you when I’m free.” As Arielle spoke, she passed the diary, which she had been hugging tightly in her arms, to Vinson. Knowing that it was extremely important to her, he took it from her solemnly. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect it for you.”

“Thank you.” Arielle nodded slightly. When she realized that she thanked him again, her expression turned stiff. Vinson smiled in exasperation and said, “If you can’t change your habit of thanking me, it’s fine. Just go. After sorting out that man, remember to treat your injury. It won’t be nice for a girl to have scars.” “Okay.” Arielle nodded and walked toward Henrick. The moment she left, Vinson turned around and glanced at Carter coldly. “Don’t say things like that in front of her again. She’ll feel sad.” Unlike Jordan and Harvey, he was smart.

Remembering what Vinson said to Arielle about the ravioli, a thought surfaced in his head. He asked, “Do you like Chief?” To him, Arielle was a chief—and a very impressive chief at that. Vinson denied, “I don’t like her.” “If you don’t, why are you treating her so nicely? Don’t think that I can’t see it. You almost died inside just to retrieve this diary for her.” “That’s because she saved my life. If it were not for her, everyone in the building would die.”

“Fine.” Carter spread his arms. “How are you going to explain what you said about the ravioli, then? Also, during the acupuncture in the hospital, why did you trust her instead of me? And…” “I said that because I owe her my life. Also, didn’t she cure the person? I didn’t just trust her blindly.” “Fine, fine, fine. You don’t like her, okay?” After speaking, Carter suddenly glanced behind Vinson nervously. “Chief got beaten by her father!”
