Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 1588

Chapter 1588 Deluding Oneself

Squinting her eyes, Susanne tried to use the moonlight outside to see who the woman approaching her was. Despite the panic she felt, she still managed to put on a strong front.

Over the years, her son had made plenty of enemies in the course of his company’s expansion. Thus, she had no idea which one of them the woman was. She wasn’t afraid of dying. Instead, her real concern was that she was used as bait to lure Vinson into a trap.

The woman walked up to Susanne and stared at her for a minute before circling behind her and knocking her out with a karate chop.

‘‘Take her away!’‘ As the woman’s piercing voice echoed through the factory, two burly men entered immediately and carried Susanne outside.

Over the last few days in school, Alicia was constantly distracted in class, causing her best friend, Marianna, to worry.

When both of them were having lunch one day, Marianna couldn’t help but ask, ‘‘Alicia, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look out of sorts recently?’‘

‘‘No, I’m not. Haven’t I always been this way?’‘ In spite of the panic triggered by Marianna’s words, Alicia kept her composure.

What happened between Aaron and her could never be shared with Marianna, even if the latter was her best friend. The reason was that she had sworn herself to secrecy in front of Aaron, vowing to pretend as if nothing had happened.

After staring briefly at Alicia, Marianna lowered her gaze in resignation. Given that both of them grew up together, she could tell right away whether Alicia was lying. Since the latter wasn’t willing to share, she decided to give her friend the privacy she needed.

‘‘Perhaps I was just overthinking it.’‘ Just as Marianna spoke, Alicia added immediately, ‘‘Precisely. You are overthinking it.’‘
