Chapter 1233 Handsome And Wealthy
As if she had just seen her lifesaver, Penelope yelled toward the stairs at the top of her voice.
Arielle and Susanne looked toward the stairs instinctively and saw Vinson, who had just finished showering, walking down the stairs.
His hair was not completely dried yet and the first two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing his collarbones.
Mesmerized by the man’s good looks, Penelope could not help but swallow hard.
That was a man who was not only physically attractive but also extremely wealthy, perhaps one in a million.
As it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Penelope, there was no way she would give up on the chance, even if she had to risk going to jail.
“Mr. Nightshire! Mrs. Nightshire is accusing me of stealing and wants to report me to the police. Please explain to her for me!”
The woman was certain that Vinson would not sit around and do nothing, After all, the man had taken an interest in her and brought her home personally.
Indeed, Vinson frowned in displeasure and said, “Mom, she’s not a thief. I was the one who brought her back.”
Penelope heaved a sigh of relief at once and nodded continuously as she said, “That’s right. Mrs. Nightshire, did you hear what he said? I’m really not a thief! It’s true that Mr. Nightshire brought me here.”
Immediately, Susanne’s face turned several shades darker.
Just then, Arielle said placidly, “Mom, it’s true that she did not trespass. I saw Vinson driving her home too.”
She did not understand why, out of so many other options, Vinson had chosen to bring that woman back and wondered if he had done that on purpose just to spite her.
Susanne widened her eyes in shock.
She glanced at Vinson before looking at Arielle and said, “What on earth is going on? Vinson, tell me everything now! Both of you have just gotten married!”
Susanne simply did not understand why Vinson would bring another woman home when he and Arielle were so much in love with each other. He had even fought with her a few times because of Arielle.
Sensing something amiss, Susanne grabbed Arielle’s arm and asked, “Sannie, you tell me. What’s going on?”
“Umm…” Arielle opened her mouth to speak but was not sure if she should tell Susanne the truth.
Just then, Vinson suddenly said, “There’s nothing going on. I will handle it myself. Mom, stop asking further questions.”
When Arielle heard that, she frowned and looked at Vinson.
Given that Susanne was family, Arielle did not find it necessary to hide the truth from her.
She could not help but wonder what Vinson had in mind and why he had not bothered to clarify.
She even started suspecting that the man might have fallen for Penelope within that few hours.
Before Arielle could say anything, Susanne exploded with rage and started lashing out at Vinson.
“Stop asking? I’m your mom. Why can’t I ask? Let me tell you, you’d better chase that woman out at once and cut off all contact with her!”
Vinson took a deep inhale and replied, “If you insist on that, I would have no choice but to move to Maple Mansion with her.”
“You, you…” Susanne was so mad that she was nearly suffocating from her fury.
Arielle reached out to support her at once and said, “Mom, it’s not good for your heart if y you get angry. Relax and take a deep breath…”
After taking a few deep breaths, Susanne finally managed to calm down slightly.
She looked at his son like she was looking at a stranger, then she finally closed her eyes and said, “Fine. I will not bother myself with any of your affairs ever again! But let me warn you, if you let Sannie down, you will definitely regret it in the future!”
Vinson did not respond to that, and neither did he look at Arielle. Instead, he merely said to Penelope, “Didn’t I ask you to prepare dinner? Is it ready?”
Feeling secretly delighted, Penelope replied at once, “Yup, it’s all ready! I’ll bring them out now.”
