Taking Advantage
At that very moment, a taxi suddenly stopped by her side.
Its windows wound down to reveal Vinson’s face.
“Miss, where are you going? Given what a beauty you are, I’ll send you there for free.”
“Pfft…”
Vinson seldom joked. Even when he did, his face would still have a serious expression on. In spite of
that, Arielle was still tickled by him.
“Thank you very much, mister.”
After getting into the car, Arielle scanned the inside of the vehicle and asked, “Where did you get this
taxi?”
“From the taxi company.”
“Don’t they disallow their taxis from being loaned to outsiders?”
Vinson raised his brows and explained, “That’s correct. That’s why I bought the entire company.”
Stunned momentarily, Arielle replied, “What a smart idea!”
Money does make the world go round. Why didn’t I think of that in the first place?
Holding that thought, Arielle decided to splurge when the opportunity arises. Or else, there was no
place for her to spend the massive profits from Sann Group and Maureen’s Kitchen.
As Vinson began to drive, he asked, “Are you going to the Mill residence directly?”
“No.” Arielle shook her head. “We are only meeting at ten. Before that, I have to return to the set for a
reshoot.”
“All right.”
Without any hesitation, Vinson floored the accelerator to the set.
Along the way, Arielle shared the video with Vinson.
Both of them agreed that the man who wanted to sow discord between them wasn’t the same as the
one who wanted to kill them. Instead, it was the man who saved Arielle on the cruise by accident.
“That man…” Vinson furrowed his brows and remarked, “I have no idea where he came from. After I
saw him face to face the last time, I tried to find out who he was from his facial features. Unfortunately, I
couldn’t find a match throughout the world.”
Arielle remembered the incident. She too had mobilized her contacts but came up empty-handed too.
“Can it be,” Vinson guessed, “that he’s wearing a hyper-realistic mask? I heard such technologically
advanced masks have been recently invented; one can easily pass off as someone else.”
“No.” Arielle shook her head. “It’s definitely not a hyper-realistic mask.”
“Why are you so sure?”
Arielle retorted with a smug smile, “Do you know which company invented it?”
“Don’t tell me that it’s one of yours.”
Snap! Arielle snapped her fingers. “That’s right. Sann Group is the one responsible, and I have been
personally monitoring the hyper-realistic mask project. Thus, I have a better understanding of it than
anyone else. Even though it makes for a successful disguise from afar, one can still see the seams up
close. On top of that, I can tell from my interactions with him that he is definitely not wearing such a
mask. Also, the sale of such masks is highly regulated. One has to work in special sectors, such as law
enforcement to qualify. Thus, ordinary folk or those with bad intentions have no access to them.”
“In that case, this is a tough nut to crack. It’s impossible for anyone to hide their identity from all the
global databases without a hyper-realistic mask.
Vinson’s gaze darkened as he frowned.
Although Arielle didn’t mention it, Vinson was cognizant that she was the man’s target instead of him.
The reason the man was trying to sow discord was to create an opening for himself.
Consequently, the mysterious romantic rival made Vinson feel threatened in a way that he never felt
before.
With that thought in mind, their car arrived at the film set’s entrance.
