A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Vinson glanced at the caller display, only to realize it was Jordan who had interrupted his romantic night
with Arielle.
So much for being my friend! It‘s bad enough that he doesn‘t help me, but now he even has to ruin the
fun for me?
“This better be important. Otherwise, I won‘t forgive you.”
Jordan was momentarily stunned by Vinson‘s tone and hurriedly replied, “Vin, it‘s bad. Harvey‘s back.”
“Huh? What‘s so bad about that?”
In fact, Vinson had been meaning to call Harvey back for the longest time. Even though having him as an
undercover would help them identify the bomber faster, the job was just far too dangerous. As such,
Vinson was more than happy to get Harvey home.
“No… He‘s badly injured. I‘m now on my way to the hospital.”
Vinson‘s muscles went rigid as all the desires he had for Arielle disappeared in a blink of an eye.
“How did he get injured?”
“I‘m not sure either, but Carter‘s already at the hospital. It was his men who happened to find Harvey
along the borders.”
“I‘m going over too. Which hospital is it?” Vinson said through gritted teeth.
“Rocher Private Hospital.”
“Got it. I‘ll be right there.”
“Wait!” Jordan exclaimed. “Can you bring Boss along? If it turns out that those doctors can‘t treat him,
Boss might still be able to help.”
“Okay.”
After observing the change in Vinson‘s demeanor, it was clear to Arielle that something serious must
have happened.
“What happened?” she asked concernedly.
“It‘s Harvey. Something‘s happened.”
“What?” Arielle shouted as she gathered her clothes. “Where is he? I‘m going with you.”
“Yes, we might really need to trouble you to help.”
“It’s no trouble at all. Harvey‘s my friend. I won‘t let anything happen to him!”
Upon hearing her words, Vinson was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
However, he quickly cleared his throat and started to get dressed.
Their night of passion had taken a drastic turn, but neither Arielle nor Vinson was in the mood to talk
about
As the car sped toward the hospital, Vinson couldn‘t help but ask, “Did you know that Harvey likes you?”
Arielle hadn‘t expected Vinson to bring that up and bit her lip nervously. “Yes. He has confessed to me.”
This time, Vinson was the one left dumbfounded.
I can’t believe Harvey confessed his feelings to Arielle before me. Damn!
All of a sudden, he recalled something else.
“Actually… Harvey gave Carter a letter and wanted me to pass it to you.”
Arielle stared in bewilderment. “Why is this the first time I’m hearing about a letter?”
“Because it‘s with me,” Vinson admitted uncomfortably.
“You didn’t give it to me?”
“Yeah…”
Arielle was at a loss for words, wondering if she should chew Vinson out or not.
Then again, it doesn‘t seem right to blame him for this.
Eventually, she calmed herself down and replied, “All right, I understand. Where‘s the letter now?”?
“It‘s in the center console.”
True enough, Arielle found Harvey‘s letter stashed away in the center console in just a matter of
seconds.
When she saw how neatly written the letter was, she knew Harvey must have put a lot of effort into it.
As Arielle quietly read through with trembling hands, pin–drop silence filled the car.
The more she read, the more she realized it was more like a suicide note.
Arielle, this is Harvey. By the time you read this letter, I‘d already have left Jadeborough to go undercover
someplace else.
