Arielle turned her attention to Cornelius when she noticed an expression change on his face.
Cornelius continued saying with mixed reactions, “When Queenie got discharged from the hospital, she begged my
Dad to allow her to run for the patriarch position, and…my dad agreed.”
Cornelius knew Arielle was on bad terms with Queenie, as he had often heard how Queenie had cursed Arielle in
the past.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe fact that Queenie wanted to contest for the family’s patriarch position meant that these two women would be
competing against each other.
Arielle was not triggered by the news. She responded calmly, “Got it. Thanks for telling me.”
Cornelius looked at her and tried to defuse the tension. “Queenie’s temper had improved ever since she came back
from the hospital. I don’t think she’ll give you a hard time tomorrow, but if she did, tell me. My dad and I will not
turn a blind eye to it just because she’s a family. We’ll treat every contender equally, so don’t worry.”
“Thanks for the assurance,” Arielle said.
Cornelius’ car had finally arrived at the Nightshire residence.
“All right.” Cornelius stopped his car. “Take a good rest. I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow.”
“Okay. Thanks for sending me home tonight.” Arielle got down from the car.
After dropping Arielle off, Cornelius left the Nightshire residence.
Arielle stood in front of the door for a few minutes as if something was holding her back from entering the house.

The security guard on duty could not help but ask, “Why don’t you go in, Mrs. Nightshire? Is there something else
you need to do?”
Arielle’s expression stiffened, and she replied, “Yeah, there’s still something I need to do.”
For some reason, she didn’t have the courage to step into the house.
Perhaps she was afraid she might see the escort lying in Vinson’s arms.
Should I return to Maple Mansion instead?
When she was about to turn around and leave, a car stopped right in front of her.
“Sannie?” Susanne got down from the car and greeted Arielle with a grin.
Susanne’s body reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that she had just returned from a party.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArielle could not help but knit her brows.
Why do I have to bump into her when I’m about to leave?
Susanne had been observing Arielle from afar when her car arrived on the driveway.
She could tell something was amiss and was worried about Arielle.
“Why are you standing here in the middle of the night?” Susanne went up and held Arielle’s arm.
“Mom…” Arielle forced a smile and asked, “Did you just come back from a party?”
Susanne nodded and sighed. “Vinson doesn’t like to attend social events, but as businesspeople, networking is
important. So I have no choice but to do it for him.”
After realizing she got distracted by Arielle’s question, Susanne turned to her and asked again, “You haven’t
answered my question. Why are you standing here?”
“I…” Arielle stammered. “There’s something I need to do. I got to go now.”
Susanne looked into her eyes and paused for a moment. “Did you have a fight with Vinson?”
Arielle froze right away. She didn’t expect Susanne to see through her.
