Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 246
Several older guests nodded at Russell’s words. “Indeed. That’s very understandable.”
The younger guests, on the other hand, were dubious about it. “How is it that we haven’t heard anything about Ms. Actonward getting married?”
“Mr. Actonward, is this just an excuse to cover up the scandal?”
“That’s right! I’ve also heard that Yvette and Mason are cousins!”
Russell broke into laughter as he explained, “We’re distant relatives with the Moores, and it’s only out of affection that Yvette calls him her cousin. As a father, do you think I’ll let them be together if they were closely related?”
The crowd seemed to have bought into Russell’s explanation. Even those who still harbored suspicions decided to hold their tongues.
After all, this was the Actonwards’ family matter, and it would be more prudent for outsiders to stay out of it.
.
Pleased with how everyone seemed to have accepted his clarification, Russell pulled Mason in closer. “From tomorrow onward, Mason will officially become my son-in-law. As such, I’d like to ask you to delete the video recordings you may have taken. If I find anyone circulating the video, I’ll have to go through the legal channels.”
The guilty parties cleared their throats awkwardly and proceeded to delete the video from their phones.
No one wanted to invite trouble to themselves, especially when the relationship between Yvette and Mason was now legitimate.
Just then, one of Russell’s housekeepers suddenly rushed in with a note in his hand.
“Mr. Actonward! I’ve found everything out!” he shouted excitedly.
Everyone had their attention fixed on the housekeeper, not realizing that Vinson was hiding behind the door.
Arielle, however, saw him.
Vinson gave her a look of assurance, and
Arielle nodded knowingly with a faint smile.
The final act of the show had begun, and Arielle couldn’t have asked for better timing.
Russell barely had time to react to the sudden interruption. “What have you found?”
Unbeknownst to everyone, Vinson had bribed the housekeeper, who was now giving it his all to act out the scene. “I’ve found out who was responsible for your stroke!”
Russell wanted to hear it in private, but he was too late to stop the housekeeper. “Ms. Yvette was the one who bought the black evening gown! She chose it herself before getting one of the shop assistants to send it to the Southalls. I’ve even found that shop assistant, and you can verify it with him!”
Everyone gasped.
“So Ms. Yvette planned to frame Arielle Southall, only to end up almost killing her own father!”
“D*mn, I’m getting goosebumps just by hearing this. What kind of grudge was it that made Yvette do something so heinous?”
“Women can be so vicious when they’re mad! My advice to us men is to treasure our life and stay away from women. But more importantly, stay away from Yvette Actonward!”
Russell’s hand started to tremble as he felt cold shivers run down his spine.
If Yvette‘s the mastermind, does that mean she has been making use of me this whole time?
She‘s this ruthless even though I‘m her father. What else can she not do?
Before Russell could say anything, Mason suddenly yelled, “That’s impossible! Yvette isn’t like that!”
Arielle, who had been waiting for this moment, finally chimed in, “Mason, one can never judge a book by its cover. There’s even evidence to prove it, and yet you still won’t believe it?”
Mason stared daggers at Arielle and snarled. “Shut up! You’re the worst of them all, you vile woman!”
Before Arielle could reply, Vinson, who had wanted to stay out of the limelight, decided to show himself.
