Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 994

Chapter 994 Wendy Chickened Out

Initially, Wendy wanted to give Arielle an earful as well, but she chickened out when Aaron’s sharp gaze shifted toward her.

Just as Wendy tried to stop her mother, Cecilia opened her mouth.

“Did you know that my daughter, Wendy, was almost engaged to Vinson? During their engagement, this b*tch barged in and ruined everything! You must not be aware of her devious nature. Don’t be fooled by her sweet appearance. She is nothing but a sheep in wolf’s clothing!” Cecilia remarked heatedly.

In an attempt to escape from Aaron’s arms, Arielle struggled and tried to squirm her way out.

Nevertheless, her efforts were futile. Aaron’s iron-like grip rendered her utterly immobile.

Upon hearing Cecilia’s words, Arielle came to a halt as she tried to defend herself. Before she could open her mouth, though, she heard Aaron’s cold voice echo in the air. “How noisy. Slap her.”

The moment Aaron gave the order, two guards in sleek black suits seemed to materialize out of thin air.

Before Wendy and Cecilia could react, one of the guards grabbed hold of Cecilia while the other lashed his palm across her cheek without hesitation.

Slap! The sound was so loud that it echoed in the air. Promptly, silence descended over the entire backstage area.

The guard’s slap was so strong that Cecilia’s head was whipped to the side. It took her several moments before she could regain her composure.

Wendy was the one who reacted first.

“Mom!” She hurried forward, wanting to rescue her mother from the guard’s grasps, but when she locked gazes with the bodyguard’s bloodthirsty glare, Wendy’s entire body froze up in fear.

It feels like he’s going to eat me alive.

Unable to move an inch, Wendy could only cry out pathetically, “Mom…”

“Listen up! If I ever hear you say such disgusting things about Arielle again, I’ll cut your tongue off!” Aaron thundered.

It was then Cecilia snapped back to reality.

Stinging pain flared across her cheek. When Cecilia caressed her face, she could feel it growing swollen from the blow she had endured. “D-Did you just hit me?” Cecilia questioned in a shrill voice.
