A Beauty With Multiple Masks
On the other hand, Cecilia hailed a cab and arrived at the Nightshire Manor early in the morning.
Knowing that the woman was coming, Susanne got up early and prepared baking ingredients.
For the sake of Vinson‘s collaboration in Horington, she decided to humble herself to please the
Greenes, although Cecilia told her she needed not to prepare anything
It had been years since she last brown–nosed someone. Never had she thought she would grovel to the
Greenes.
If I had known things were going to turn out this way, I would never have gotten in touch with the
Greenes and brought about the engagement between Vinson and Wendy. The Greenes wouldn‘t have
become so rapacious if I had not been adamant.
“It‘s all my fault. I‘ve opened the door and let the wolf in!”
Being involved in the entire incident, Geoffrey comforted the remorseful woman. “Back then, you knew
nothing about the Greenes‘ greed and ambition. They were so easygoing at that time, but now the family
is so overbearing, pretending to be thoughtful. One played the good cop while the other, the bad cop.
Meanwhile, Ms. Greene acted all pitiful. If they had put their cards on the table, you would never have let
Ms. Greene marry into our family.”
“Let her marry into the family?” Susanne snorted.
“Before the Greenes came, I had great hopes in Wendy. Because of the ruckus they caused, I‘ve made
up my mind to ignore them right after Vin‘s collaboration is accomplished.”
During the Greenes‘ visit, I‘ve found out their true colors. Though Arielle is no match for Wendy, she is
much more sensible and obedient. I just hope that her result will not be so bad that it brings me
embarrassment. Otherwise, Cecilia will probably insinuate that I‘m wrong–headed and have mistaken a
fool for a genius.
Susanne was filled with remorse that she promised the Greenes to go to Jadeborough University when it
struck her that Arielle might get a terribly low score.
At that thought, Susanne clasped her hands and prayed. “God help me, please! I hope Arielle‘s result is
not the worst among all.”
Next to her stood Geoffrey, who then consoled her. “Don‘t worry, Mrs. Nightshire. I‘m sure the woman
that Mr. Vinson loves is not that weak. At least, she won‘t be the worst.”
“Yeah, I know… But she‘s from the countryside. You know full well about the level of education there. It‘s
alright. I‘ll leave it all to fate,” she replied with a sigh.
Right then, a security guard came to inform them about Cecilia‘s arrival.
“I got it.” Susanne pulled herself together. “Let her in.”
Soon, Cecilia came with some baking ingredients, but she only brought a small amount of them.
She obviously knew Susanne would be well prepared.
“Hi, Susanne.” Cecilia flashed her a smile. “I‘m sorry for causing you trouble early in the morning, but I
have no choice. I just found out that those desserts will not be used as gifts, but they will be sold for
charity purposes. Hence, I‘m planning to make at least two hundred of them. I‘m afraid you‘ll have to
work together with me.”
Having lived a life of luxury for a long time, Susanne nodded her head reluctantly with a stiff smile.
“Sure… I‘m interested in this as well. Let‘s get started.”
“Alright, let‘s get down to business. The result should be out. I wonder how well Wendy can score, but I
guess she‘s certainly going to come in the first place. The only thing I‘m concerned about is how far is
she away from full marks.”
