Chapter 706
Wendy could only seek help from Susanne in this
havoc.
“Ms. Stone, I don’t know what’s going on. I heard that the person in the photo looked a lot like Arielle, and that’s why I went to you without delay. I was worried about her.”
Susanne took her hands and gently soothed them. “It’s alright. It’s just a misunderstanding. I know you did it because you care about her.”
“Because she cares? If she was genuinely worried about Arielle, shouldn’t she have called the police? Why did she look for you and Henrick instead?” Vinson wasn’t having it.
As pale as a ghost, Wendy tried to defend herself. “Mr. Nightshire, please mind your words. Are you saying that I’m trying to blow this scandal up? What’s the point of me doing this? It’s not Arielle who’s having an affair. It’s just an honest mistake.”
Vinson saw no point in arguing with her. “I don’t care if it was a mistake. I’ve told you to move out of the manor, and why are you still there? Do you really want me to throw you out?” He gave her an ultimatum.
Feeling humiliated, Wendy sobbed and again, turned toward Susanne. “Ms. Stone…”
Susanne thought Vinson was too much and glared at him. “How could you speak to Wendy in such a manner? She’s your wife-to-be. Where do you suppose
she move to if not back to the manor?”
“She’s going to be my what? Wife?” Vinson narrowed his eyes.
Susanne frowned and glared back at him. “Vin, don’t you dare look at me like that.”
“I forgot to tell you something, Mom,” Vinson spoke again before Arielle could persuade him to stop quarreling with Susanne.
For some reason, she palpitated in uneasiness as if she knew that Vinson was going to announce something unnerving
“And what is that?”
“I already have a wife.”
