Chapter 1772 No Ordinary Person
“I’ll make it so that you’ll climb into my bed willingly and beg me to sleep with you, Maddox.” After saying that, Anna strode into her bedroom in high heels. She wanted to tell her best friend about her having come across a top-notch man.
Vinson watched as she left, plunging into silent contemplation for some time. He then whirled around and headed out to explore the place. But just when he reached the door, he was greeted by the sight of two rows of armed guards standing sentry. The moment they saw him coming out, they all swung their guns at him in unison.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pivoted and went back into the house. He couldn’t act rashly, for he hadn’t yet located Arielle.
That entire scene was clearly witnessed by Anna in the bedroom. Her lips curved into a smirk. Even if you want to leave, it hinges on whether you’ve got the guts to do so!
Having returned to the living room, Vinson sat on the couch quietly, his eyes narrowed a fraction.
In the bedroom, Anna had already told her best friend, Jenny, about her attraction toward Vinson. That aside, she told her about Vinson’s claim that he was married and would never betray his wife, but his insistence only intensified her desire to subjugate him.
“Isn’t it easy if you want to subjugate him, Anna?” A wicked smile played on Jenny’s lips, and she murmured a few words to Anna.
In a flash, Anna’s eyes lit up.
In truth, she had the same idea. Since Jenny has said the same now, it looks like my idea is feasible.
She chatted a while longer with Jenny before hanging up the phone. Placing the phone on the bed, she got up and sauntered over to the mirror. As she gazed at herself in the mirror, she grinned from ear to ear.
The woman in the mirror had a slender and exquisite figure, her curves alluring.
What man wouldn’t be tempted by me? Only Maddox is blind and can’t see how wonderful I am. But it’s okay because I’ll show him.
“Sannie, Peter Pan is truly incredible! Did he manage to defeat the pirates and rescue everyone in the end? Then, there’s Tinker Bell. Can she really not be with Peter Pan?”
Just as Sophia returned from outside, she heard Clyde’s barrage of questions. Before she could figure out the person he was speaking to, a voice tinged with laughter drifted out, saying, “I’ll tell you the answers to those questions next time. My throat is a bit parched after talking for the entire afternoon.”
“Have some water to soothe your throat, Sannie.” Clyde hurriedly poured a glass of water before handing it to Arielle. Gosh, I was too absorbed in the story that I actually forgot to pour her some water!
Outside the door, Sophia entered the room in casual attire. Only when she saw the person Clyde was talking to did she know that the woman they saved the other day had regained consciousness.
“When did you wake up? Are you feeling better now?” she inquired, strolling over to Arielle.
“This is my aunt, Sannie. Her name is Sophia,” said Clyde before turning to Sophia. “Aunt Sophia, her name is San. She’s a teacher.”
He introduced them to each other with a bright smile on his face.
The two women looked at each other, both sensing that there was more to the other than met the eye.
“Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you, too!”
As they both shook hands and greeted each other, undisguised delight showed in Clyde’s eyes at the side.
When it was time for dinner, Sophia had the housekeeper deliver some food for Arielle. Clyde initially wanted to eat with the latter, but he immediately changed his mind after glimpsing the look in Sophia’s gaze. He ended up having dinner with his aunt instead.
Although Arielle was a touch tired after dinner, she remained vigilant, for she could sense that Clyde’s aunt, Sophia, was no ordinary person.
On the other hand, a housekeeper entered Sophia’s room after dinner.
“Ms. Sophia, Mr. Clyde is getting attached to that woman. What are your plans?”
Sophia’s eyes narrowed into slits. In the next second, an idea popped into her mind. Not only would it be able to distance Arielle from Clyde, but it would also advance her career significantly.
