Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 A Venomous Snake

Shandie’s mood improved greatly after knowing that she was the winner of the Socialite Coffee Competition. After tidying up her appearance, she went downstairs with Cindy again.

Once they reached downstairs, Shandie started looking all around for Vinson but the man was nowhere to be seen.

Just then, she saw another socialite whom she was on friendly terms with and asked, “Did you see Mr. Nightshire?”

“Mr. Nightshire has left long ago.”

“Did he say anything before he left?” Shandie pressed on.

The socialite gave it some thought and replied, “He kept talking to your sister. There were bodyguards around him and I couldn’t hear their conversation, but they did not look too happy.”

“Did not look happy?” Shandie’s face lit up and continued asking, “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m not sure. In the end, Mr. Nightshire just walked away after saying something. Your sister chased after him, wanting to continue the conversation, but was stopped by his bodyguards.”

“That means she and Mr. Nightshire are not that close after all,” Shandie analyzed.

The socialite nodded and replied, “Well, of course, that’s the case. No matter how pretty your sister is, she’s still a country bumpkin. Given the status of the Nightshire family, how is it possible for a girl from the countryside to have any connections with them? Shannie, don’t be discouraged yeah? You’re definitely the only one in the whole of Jadeborough who is good enough for Mr. Nightshire!”

Happy to hear that, Shandie raised her brows and said, “I like you very much! I’ll tell my dad to give your family more businesses.”

“That’s wonderful! Thanks Shannie…”

While the two women were chatting away, Shandie suddenly heard a few other socialites mocking her from a distance away. “I can’t believe Shandie even has the cheek to come downstairs! She even fainted after seeing how gorgeous her sister was… “

“Exactly! If I were her, I would hide at home for at least three years and only come out when everyone forgets about the incident!”

Fuming, Shandie was just about to argue with that group of women before she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Nope! I shouldn’t do that.

She knew that those people were opportunists who would sway towards whichever side would benefit them. They were not worth her energy at all.

If she argued with them, it would only hurt her image as a socialite.

Jadeborough would be holding a judging session for all the socialites in the city soon and every single action of theirs would be taken into account.

Currently, Shandie’s priority was to deal with Arielle.

As long as she got Arielle out of her way, there would be absolutely no one else who could steal her limelight.

Those people would also naturally stop gossiping about her.

Just then, a plan began to form in Shandie’s mind.

She needed to get rid of Arielle as soon as possible. She should not listen to her mom and wait any longer.

Who knew what Arielle would be up to if she delayed it further?

At night, after all the guests had left, the housekeepers tidied up the hall and went to bed.

Arielle’s room had already been prepared for her. Henrick had allocated a room with an attached balcony to her. Such treatment also showed how much Henrick valued her.

Of course, Arielle was well aware that she was not what Henrick valued, but rather, the benefits that she could potentially bring to him.

At the same time, Arielle also noticed that one of the housekeepers had been spying on her since the second half of the function.

As such, even though Arielle had already washed up and was preparing to go to bed, she intended to continue staying alert.

After all, there was a possibility that anyone in the mansion could be plotting something against her.

Meanwhile, Shandie was tossing and turning restlessly while trying to think of a way to deal with Arielle.

Suddenly, an idea stuck her.
