Chapter 928
Arielle‘s heart skipped a beat. Oh, no. I think Vinson‘s on to me.
She tried her best to calm her nerves but to no avail.
“Nothing‘s wrong with me,” she finally said, taking a big gulp as she did. “I came to the hospital to visit Teddy‘s mother.”
“That‘s all?”
“Yes, that‘s all.”
“Okay, then I‘ll buy a flight ticket now.”
Arielle instantly reeled back. “What? Are you done with
work?”
“No, but I do want to see you. I‘ll return to Horington once I know you‘re all right.”.
Arielle bit her lips in exasperation. I knew it. Vinson‘s figured out that something‘s happened to me. I can‘t hide it from him any longer.
“Okay, okay. Something did happen to me earlier. But I‘ve been put on an IV drip, and I‘m fine now.”
“What happened?” Vinson asked, his voice low and deep.
Arielle couldn‘t help but let out a heavy sigh.
I‘ve done my darndest, yet I still can‘t hide anything
from Vinson.
“It‘s the Greenes… They‘ve put a target on me.”
Arielle quickly summarized how the Greenes had sent mercenaries after her and added, “I swear I didn‘t get hurt at all, so you don‘t have to make a trip back for me. Besides, I‘ve already approached the Specialized Forces. They were very respectful and have also gone along with my plan. They’re digging up information on the Greenes as we speak.”
Vinson replied coldly, “I got it. I guess it‘d be better to take you with me everywhere I go so others can’t take advantage of the situation. As for the Greenes, don‘t worry about it. I‘ll make sure they get what they deserve.”
Anyone who dares mess with my woman is just digging their own graves!
“Okay. By the way, I‘m sorry,” Arielle muttered. “I know I shouldn‘t have kept this from you, but I was afraid that it‘d affect you. It‘s just like the time when you didn‘t tell me about Turlen. I was so scared that you’d do something rash and put yourself in harm‘s way.”
“I know you mean well… But Sannie, you have to trust me more. I’d never put myself in danger. After all, I can‘t bear the thought of leaving you behind.”
Before Arielle knew it, tears had begun streaming down her face.
She had no idea why she was crying, but hearing Vinson‘s voice greatly comforted her. It was also only with him that Arielle could show her most vulnerable side.
The two of them settled into an easy conversation until Jordan‘s shout snapped Arielle back to reality. “All right, I won‘t hold you up anymore,” she said, clutching her phone tight.
“Sure. But the next time something like this happens again, you have to tell me immediately, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Good. Go home and get some rest then. Your health is more important than anything else. But if you really must go to the school archive, please let Blake and
Sasha accompany you.”
“I will.”
Alas, Vinson continued to nag so much that he reluctantly hung up the call only when Jordan started to rush them.
He leaned back in his chair as a flash of cold darkness went through his gaze.
The Greenes have gotten too smug with the power they have. Do I not matter? Am I only for show?
Without hesitation, Vinson called for his manager.
“Mr. Nightshire, what can I do for you?”
Upon seeing Vinson‘s icy death stare, the manager became sick with fear.
“M–Mr. Nightshire? D–Did I do something wrong?”
