Chapter 1212 I Am Married
He had planned to use the group dinner to confess his feelings to Arielle. Unfortunately, she had
outright declined to join them.
Who does she think she is?
Just when Arielle bid everyone goodbye, Jason stepped forward to confront her and demanded,
“Arielle, what’s the meaning of this?”
Bewildered, she asked, “What are you talking about?”
Arielle’s innocent expression caused Jason’s temper to flare up.
Having suffered the humiliation earlier and the misunderstanding from the day before, Jason’s
emotions took over his head. He scoffed, “Why are you the only one who can’t join us for dinner? Even
the most famous stars would show Mr. Sleight some respect. As a newcomer, why don’t you show
everyone some courtesy by joining us?”
“I just—”
“I know,” Jason interrupted her. “You feel superior just because you’re the boss of Sann Group.
Therefore, you’re not bothered to dine with people like us. Isn’t that the case?”
Arielle gaze darkened at once.
“I’ve never looked down upon anyone before,” she countered in an icy tone.
Even though Jason felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, he wasn’t going to show any fear in a
stare-down with a woman.
Gritting his teeth, he maintained a strong front and asked, “In that case, why can’t you join us for
dinner?”
“Because there’s something I need to attend to.”
Meanwhile, Sam quickly came forward to defuse the situation.
“That’s enough, Jason. Arielle has a very busy schedule. In fact, she has done me a huge favor just by
accepting the role. Anyway, we shouldn’t impose on her personal time.”
“That’s right,” Jason sneered. “It’s a waste of time for a big shot like you to join us for a meal. Go ahead
with whatever you’re busy with.”
“I really have something to attend to.”
“Fine, then tell us what it is that’s so important that you can’t even eat with us?”
Arielle choked. However, after noticing that there were a lot of people around, she suddenly hatched a
plan in her mind.
Raising her head and declared, “I’m going to catch someone cheating!”
The moment she spoke, her surroundings fell silent for a brief moment before breaking out into an
uproar.
“Catch someone cheating? Did I hear you wrongly?”
“Isn’t Ms. Moore single? Since when she had a boyfriend?”
Even though Jason’s expression drastically changed, he didn’t believe Arielle’s words.
Given how embarrassing such an incident is, no one in their right mind would announce it publicly.
Besides, after monitoring her for such a long time, I have never seen any other man by her side.
Holding that thought, Jason’s frown deepened. “You don’t even have a boyfriend, so how can you claim
that you’re trying to catch him cheating? Arielle, do you take us for fools?”
“Who says I don’t have a boyfriend?” Arielle raised her brow and added, “I’m already married.”
“Married? You must be kidding!” Jason was outraged.
Nevertheless, Arielle explained in a serious tone, “This isn’t a joke at all. I am legally married. The
reason I can’t go out tonight with you guys is that I’m going to catch my husband cheating. Is this
excuse good enough?”
“Y-You…” Jason was lost for words.
The revelation dealt him such a blow that he was barely able to breathe.
To be precise, he just couldn’t believe that Arielle was married.
Arielle shot a glance at him. “Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I’ve told you the truth. And
now, I must go.”
With that, she turned her attention to Sam. “Mr. Sleight, I have to deal with something personal now. Do
send me the bill for dinner later. Bye.”
