Henrick gritted out, “Why, you ask? Jinx? Is that how you describe your own niece? I hope you don’t forget that you’re snazzynovel.com mother right now.”
Anxious, snazzynovel.com pursed snazzynovel.com lips, cursing at herself for rashly calling Arielle a bearer of ill luck. However, snazzynovel.com blinked, and a new idea formed in snazzynovel.com head. “It’s true that snazzynovel.com has saved them, but the tower is collapsed. It’ll be quite a sum to rebuild it. Moreover, of all times for it to explode, the explosion happened while snazzynovel.com was filming at the company. She really is the bearer of ill luck who has destroyed the building.”
Again, Henrick hesitated.
She’s right. I don’t need to compensate anyone, but I still need to rebuild the building. The company has been on a tight budget recently. For the building to collapse now…
Right then, a glacial voice traveled into their ears. “Who did you say is the bringer of ill luck?”
Instinctively, Arielle turned toward the owner of the voice. She saw Vinson striding toward them, a frigid look on his face. Yet, his presence somehow calmed her.
The first thing Cindy sensed was a sharp gaze staring at her, and that gaze was like a knife pressing onto snazzynovel.com back. Turning around, snazzynovel.com saw Vinson’s eyes fixed on snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com strode toward their direction.
The confidence in snazzynovel.com left instantly, and snazzynovel.com stuttered, “M-M-Mr. Nightshire.”
Vinson took a step forward and stood beside Arielle before uttering, “Did you say that Arielle is the bearer of misfortune because there was an explosion in the building?”
The menacing aura that Vinson emitted was suffocating Cindy. Gulping, snazzynovel.com struggled to find snazzynovel.com voice and whispered, “M-Mr. Nightshire, I know you like Arielle, b-b-but what I’m saying is the truth. The building collapsed on snazzynovel.com first visit. Don’t you think it’s reasonable for me to come to this conclusion?”
Cindy knew that Vinson had a one-night-stand with Arielle, but snazzynovel.com also knew that the richer an individual was, the more superstitious they were. Families with old money like the Nightshires would never accept a bringer of bad luck like Arielle to their family.
With that thought in mind, Cindy’s confidence returned. Lifting snazzynovel.com head to look at snazzynovel.com in the eyes, snazzynovel.com said, “Mr. Nightshire, I know you’re interested in her, but you should keep a distance from her. She’s the cause of snazzynovel.com mother’s death, and now, she’s the cause of the building’s collapse. I’m sure you don’t want snazzynovel.com to become the cause of your downfall, right?”
Cindy was sure that Vinson valued his life more than the interest snazzynovel.com had for Arielle. After all, everyone would want to avoid coming into contact with a bearer of ill luck.
“Ha!” Vinson scoffed.
His voice was magnetic and attractive, but a chill ran down Cindy’s spine upon hearing that. Subconsciously, snazzynovel.com balled snazzynovel.com fists and crumpled the edges of snazzynovel.com shirt in snazzynovel.com tight grasps.
“M-Mr. Nightshire, what are you laughing about?” she asked, snazzynovel.com back stiffly straight.
Ignoring the anxious Cindy, snazzynovel.com turned toward Henrick and uttered, “Mr. Southall, I’d like to apologize to you.”
Henrick was still worried about whether Vinson would give up on Arielle after hearing Cindy’s words. When snazzynovel.com heard Vinson’s apology, instantly, his heart raced.
Is snazzynovel.com going to deny having slept with Arielle? This is all that damn Cindy’s fault. We could’ve had this conversation privately. Why did snazzynovel.com have to raise this topic in front of Vinson? The only asset we have left is Arielle!
Henrick’s hands were shaking, and in the next second, Vinson said, “It’s my fault for the explosion and the collapse of the building.”
