Chapter 1431 Fatal Moves
Appearing within Vinson’s line of vision as soon as he opened the door was none other than Aaron. At once, the
former’s gazes took a drastic change. Similarly, Aaron frowned as he shifted his gazes to the man before him. Who
is this man? Why did I not see him before?
“Hello, we’re here to visit Ms. Moore.”
Sonia broke the silence while the two men were still glaring and trying to sound each other out through their gazes.
Her voice pulled Vinson back to reality, and upon recalling that he was merely a bodyguard now, he hastily
staggered a few steps backward to make way for the two visitors.
When Arielle heard Sonia’s voice, she tried to get off the bed. Nevertheless, the latter, who caught sight of her
action, quickly stopped her from doing so.

strode toward Arielle and expressed her concerns.
“It’s nothing major.”
“How did you get hurt? Don’t you have bodyguards with you?” Following behind Sonia, Aaron felt his heart ached
when he caught a glimpse of Arielle’s bandaged arm.
Even though he had learned about Arielle’s injury, he did not know how she landed herself in that predicament.
Upon hearing Aaron’s voice, Arielle averted her gazes to Vinson. Her brows unwittingly drew together when she
saw the man’s stoic expression. This guy must be jealous again. How am I supposed to coax him again later?
Aaron had his eyes glued to Arielle since his arrival. When he spotted her red and swollen lips, his gaze gleamed.
Why does it look so much like she just got kissed? But Vinson isn’t around; who dares to kiss her?
While he could not get his head around the sight in front of his eyes, Sonia seemed to have noticed Arielle’s lips.
Being the innocent and naive lady she was, she did not overthink the situation and advised, “You need to have more
light and healthy food for the next couple of days, Ms. Moore. Judging from your swollen lips, you’ll get ill if you
don’t do that.”
At that, Arielle answered with a nod, “You’re right. I should have something light from now on.”
She had deliberately emphasized the word “light” as she spoke. But since Vinson could not understand Turlenese,
her words were nothing but a wasted effort. On the other hand, her words immediately dispelled Aaron of his
suspicions. Arielle only has Vinson in her mind. Since that guy isn’t here, I guess Sonia is correct.
Staring intently at Arielle, he once again questioned, “Don’t you have bodyguards following you? Why did you still
get hurt?” Are those bodyguards a bunch of good-for-nothings? They can’t even protect a woman well!
“It seems like someone wants me dead. The moves they served were acutely fatal. Even the bodyguards have
sustained severe injuries, and they’re recuperating in the wards next to mine,” Arielle explained while looking at

Aaron.
“What?” He widened his eyes in shock upon hearing those words. “Do you have any idea who did that?”
Arielle stared at him as though she was looking at an idiot. If I have an idea who the culprit is, wouldn’t I have long
sent that person to hell?
Judging from her expression, Aaron knew his questions were a little pointless.
“What about your injuries? Are they serious?” Concern filled his gaze. It had never crossed his mind that trouble
would befall Arielle while she was in his territory.
“I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury and will recover in a few days,” Arielle assured, then turned to Sonia and asked,
”Don’t you have classes? Why did you tag along?”
“After learning that you’re injured, I immediately applied for a leave of absence since I was so worried. I happened
to run into Aaron along my way, so we came together,” Sonia quickly answered.
At this point, the temptation to learn the foreign language grew within her. She was overwhelmed with an awful
feeling while listening to Aaron and Arielle converse, yet she understood nothing. It almost felt like she was a fool
who got left out by the others.
