Subconsciously, everyone in the living room turned around to look in the direction of the doorway.
Henrick froze as soon as he saw Vinson. He was surprised and terrified at the same time. I wonder
how much Vinson has heard from the conversation just now. What if he gets annoyed because he
wants to protect Arielle? Will he get angry with me too?
As soon as he tried to greet Vinson, Vinson broke the silence with a cold voice, “Why does she have to
massage for that rude old hag? Henrick, is this how Arielle spends her days in your house?”
Malorie furrowed her brows as she looked at Vinson.
The next second, her eyes suddenly glinted.
That was the most handsome young man she had ever encountered before. Moreover, Vinson exuded a
noble aura that was similar to Maureen’s. Malorie happened to like that temperament a lot.
She then replied with a voice of displeasure, “Who are you calling an old hag? Who the heck are you?
Can you stay out of our family businesses?”
Henrick’s face turned pale. He rushed over to hold her down. “Mom, that’s enough. H-He is Mr.
Nightshire. Mr. Nightshire, I’m deeply sorry. She has just recovered from her illness, so she’s still in a bad
mood. She’s not like this usually…”
“Rick, why do you have to explain to him? Mr.
Nightshire? Who’s that? Jadeborough is your turf. You have nothing to be afraid of in your own territory!
Chase him out right now!” Malorie ordered haughtily.
Malorie had not seen much in her life. Besides, Henrick was prideful and liked to boast a lot. Hence,
Malorie thought that he was the most powerful man in Jadeborough.
Henrick broke out in a cold sweat. That was the first time he regretted bringing Malorie over to the
mansion.
Terrified, he turned around to gaze at Vinson.
However, Vinson remained expressionless. Seeing that, Henrick was even more horrified.
Meanwhile, Malorie was still urging him to make a move. “What are you waiting for, Rick? Chase that
ridiculous man out!”
What’s going on? Why is that young man trying to chime in our family issue? Malorie fell into her
thoughts. A moment later, she finally came to her senses. There’s no way that anyone will appear all of a
sudden to stand up for Arielle unless he has something to do with her!
Malorie slapped her thigh and shouted, “You little vixen! How dare you start seducing men at such a
young age! You even brought him home to create a fuss, huh? I can’t imagine what kind of woman you’ll
turn into in the future. I won’t let you get away easily today!”
Then, she stretched out her arm, trying to give Arielle a slap.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, two other hands took her wrist in unison.
Malorie lifted her eyes and noticed that Vinson and Henrick were trying to stop her.
“Rick, what are you doing?” Malorie stared at Henrick in disbelief. She did not understand the reason
why he stopped her from hitting Arielle.
Henrick was utterly frightened. He could not bear to let her stay there any longer, so he turned around
and shouted at the butler, “Alfred, Mrs. Southall needs some rest. Bring her back to her room now!”
With that, Alfred instantly called for two bodyguards.
They walked forward to drag Malorie up to the second floor.
“What are you guys doing? Let me go!” Malorie struggled with all her might, but the bodyguards’ grips
were too strong
Soon, she lost all of her energy. Before heading up the stairs, she turned in the direction of the living
room and matched up Arielle’s eyes.
Although her gaze was dark and calm, it was icy-cold. The sight of it was terrifying.
Malorie could not help but tremble in fear. What’s
wrong with her gaze? Is that how a child from the countryside behaves?
Before she could look at Arielle’s eyes again, the bodyguards had already brought her up to the second
floor. They brought her into the room and locked her up.
