A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 1701

Arielle knew they would not easily believe her, especially since she had deliberately revealed many talents. However, it was their suspicion she required as that was the only way she could convince them and become one of them.

“The salary is attractive, but I don’t like the work,” Arielle said in a level voice as she gazed at the professor. “I prefer something more challenging. That is why I submitted my resumé without a second thought when I saw that you were hiring. I am especially interested in your research and would like to join you in taking up this challenge.”

“You enjoy research?” Torsten asked, gaping at Arielle.

If she really is an innocent researcher enamored with our work, I might even be able to recruit an apprentice.

“Yes, I especially enjoy research,” Arielle said with a smile. “I have always wanted to know if dogs could survive if their heads were swapped, so I bought two dogs to conduct this experiment at home. To my surprise, both dogs died.”

As she spoke, Arielle recalled her competition with Abraham, in which she had forfeited the match as she could not bear to raise a hand in cruelty.

“Do you know what our research is about?” Torsten asked.

Arielle shook her head. It was not because she was unclear. But, even if she knew, she could not say it aloud.

“You will know soon…”

Torsten picked up the phone on the table and handed it to her. “By the way, you are not allowed to bring your phone when you come to work. There is nothing more to be discussed with you for now. You may retire to your dorm.”

Arielle knew it would not be easy to gain admission into their inner circle. She took the phone and returned to her room. The first thing she did upon returning was sending Vinson a text telling him she was safe.

Vinson had not slept the entire night as he missed Arielle. He unlocked his phone at once at the sound of the alert tone and read the message.
