Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071 My Adoptive Parents Are The Wilhelms

While the Jewells were not one of the four most influential families in Chanaea, they were certainly at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, the Jewell family had an ancient bloodline. Although they no longer dabbled in the business world, the Jewells played a prominent role in politics to this day.

With Hans backing Arielle up, no one would dare to question her background or even raise the matter if she married Vinson in the future.

Arielle’s background bothered Susanne the most, so she was delighted to hear Hans’ proposal. She mulled over it for a couple of seconds before nodding her assent. “The two children would have a much brighter future if you would take Arielle as your goddaughter. As you know, rumors may not leave wounds, but they can bury a person alive.”

Hans nodded in understanding. “If my men- If Arielle agrees to it, I’ll throw a banquet and announce this news,” he said, overjoyed.

“Sounds good,” Susanne agreed.

She figured that even if Arielle did not end up marrying Vinson, the young woman’s life would be a lot easier if Hans had her back.

Maureen, this is the best I can do for you.

At this moment, dinner was ready.

Arielle served three steaming bowls of ravioli and took her seat. Unable to contain his excitement, Hans blurted out his plan to take Arielle as his goddaughter.

Arielle hesitated before replying, “I… I’ll have to ask my parents about this.”

Hearing her response, Susanne was dumbfounded. “Your parents?” she echoed.

With this turn of events, there was no need for Hans to stand up for Arielle. The name “Wilhelm” alone carried enough weight to shield Arielle from any malicious comments.

“You…” Susanne started, but she was at a loss for words. The syllable hung in the air as she dwelt on the newfound information.

Had she known Arielle’s true identity early on, she would not have even spared Wendy a glance, let alone shun Arielle for Wendy’s sake.

Although Susanne could not deny that she had a selfish desire for a distinguished daughter-in-law, deep down, she just wanted to protect her son from any slander.

However, now, not a single soul would dare to denigrate the Wilhelms’ adopted daughter.

“I’m sorry.” Arielle broke the silence. “I shouldn’t have kept this from you, but I was in a bit of a predicament. If I returned to Chanaea with my real identity known, Henrick and Cindy probably wouldn’t have received their punishment so quickly.”
