Chapter 906
When Arielle smiled, her eyes seemed to light up with radiance.
Although Aidan was worried out of his mind, her soft smile seemed to relieve his
worries. Promptly, Aidan‘s confidence in Arielle returned.
Given that she has captured Mr. Nightshire‘s attention, she must not be an ordinary woman. I
shouldn’t place my doubts on her.
With this renewed determination, Aidan lifted his head. “Ms. Moore, if you need any help, please
don’t hesitate to contact me.”
“Thank you. I‘ll be taking my leave.”
“Where are you headed?”
“I’ll be dropping by my school.”
“You are going to school on the weekend?” Aidan‘s respect for Arielle increased tenfold. “Although
you‘ve graduated from Maxwell University, I can’t believe that you are still studying.
I won‘t take up your time any longer. I should head back and improve my skills too.”
“Haha.” Arielle’s laugh came across as forced and reluctant.
Truthfully, she wasn‘t going back to school to study
Nevertheless, Arielle did not elaborate any further. After sending Aidan off, she headed toward
Jadeborough University‘s archive.
She planned to spend the weekend reading all of the archive‘s materials.
Since she had a lot on her plate, Arielle couldn‘t afford to linger around any longer.
At the same time, Wendy and her parents had arrived at Nightshire Manor.
When Susanne caught wind of their sudden arrival, she nearly choked on her coffee.
She set her cup down and asked Geoffrey with widened eyes, “Who‘s here?”

“Mrs. Nightshire.”
Susanne was forced to a screeching halt as she glared at Geoffrey accusingly.
“I assumed that you were willing to meet Ms. Greene, so I asked the guards to let them in,” Geoffrey ex
plained with an apologetic look.
“You fool!” All of a sudden, she noticed the Greenes walking into the room.
Quickly, Susanne retracted her glare and replaced it
“Wendy, why didn‘t you tell me that
you were coming? I could have asked the staff to prepare your favorite lunch.” Susanne turned to the G
reenes with a sympathetic look. “Your trip from Horrington must have been a tiring journey.”
“Although we are tired, our poor Wendy must be suffering even more,” Daniel replied stoically.
Susanne stiffened when she

Susanne‘s smile became even more forced.
If Cecilia had been as short–tempered as her husband, Susanne could have seized this
opportunity to kick them out.
Yet, the two of them were playing good cop, bad cop. Susanne couldn‘t excuse herself at all.
She then
laughed wryly. “It‘s all right. We all have our bad days. Have you guys eaten lunch? If you don‘t
mind, you can stay and have a meal together.”
“We will be glad
to accept your offer.” Met with Cecilia‘s friendly smile, Susanne could not deny her at all.
Thus, the four of them settled around the table for lunch.
After a few moments, Cecilia spoke again. “When we came to Jadeborough, we were heartbroken to
