Chapter 1005 Do You Take Me For A Child
“Mom?”
Cecilia didn’t hear her as she was laughing and crying at the same time while staring at Vinson. “Captain… You’re actually the captain of the Specialized Forces! Hahahaha!”
So, us Greenes have never stood a chance against Vinson to begin with! I can’t believe I threatened Susanne, thinking Vinson would have no other choice but to be with Wendy… In reality, we were dooming ourselves by making an enemy out of the Nightshires! Even so, this change of events is happening way too quickly! What a joke! I’m such a f*cking joke!
“Hahahahaha…” Cecilia couldn’t even tell if she was laughing at her fate or at herself, much to Wendy’s dismay.
Oh, no… With the state Mom is in, there’s no one else who can help me! Wait, no… Dad! I’ve still got Dad to help us out!
“You can’t take me away! I want to see my dad!”
The deputy captain of the Specialized Forces snickered as he said, “Oh, don’t worry! We’re taking you to see your dad right now!”
Wendy’s mind went blank for a moment before she asked, “What do you mean?”
“We’ve already taken the chairman of Southall Group into custody. You three are going to aid us in the investigation. If you cooperate with us, we might just let you see each other before you all get trialed in court.”
Those words struck Wendy like a bolt from the blue.
Dad has been arrested too? In that case, what hope do I have left? Hold on… If Vinson is the captain of the Specialized Forces, then surely he must be able to help me out!
With that in mind, Wendy turned toward Vinson and begged desperately, “Vinson! I don’t know anything about what my family has done! Will you please let me go? I’ve never done anything to wrong you…”
“Your involvement in your family’s affairs will be revealed once the investigation is completed,” Vinson replied coldly.
Realizing all hope was lost, Wendy let out a wry chuckle as she asked, “I love you so much, Vinson… Do you not care about me? Not even a little?”
Vinson wrapped an arm around Arielle’s waist and said, “You are unworthy.”
The Specialized Forces members then dragged Wendy out of there before she could say anything further.
With the two of them being taken away, the crowd in the auditorium no longer had any reason to stick around. Under the instructions from the university staff and the Specialized Forces members, everyone left the auditorium in an orderly manner.
Just like that, the charity event came to an end with the arrest of Cecilia and Wendy.
Vinson shifted his gaze back toward Arielle and asked worriedly, “I didn’t scare you, did I?”
Arielle shook her head. “No. How are things going on your end? Did you manage to catch that guy?”
Naturally, she was referring to Aaron.
Vinson was about to say something when Susanne cleared her throat loudly from the side and stared at his hand that was wrapped around Arielle’s waist.
Arielle knew Susanne had yet to accept her fully, so she quickly brushed Vinson’s arm off and took a few steps away from him.
“Ahem!” Susanne cleared her throat once more as she approached Arielle with an outstretched hand. “Give it back to me.”
“What?” Arielle was confused.
“The lucky coin. You’re done using it, right? It’s time to give it back to me,” Susanne mumbled with an awkward expression on her face.
Arielle couldn’t help but smile at how childish Vinson’s mother could be at times.
She then whipped out the lucky coin from her pocket and handed it back to Susanne as she said, “Thanks, Mrs. Nightshire. I probably wouldn’t have been able to answer those three questions if it weren’t for this lucky coin.”
Susanne pouted in response. “What, do you take me for a child or something?”
