Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 498
Wendy was sobbing as she ran backstage. On the way, she passed Arielle who was on her way to the
stage.
Arielle had not seen the live stream when she was backstage, but she had heard what Wendy said
over the microphone.
It was obvious that Steven had not been impressed by Wendyâs performance.
Anyway, that has nothing to do with me.
Their eyes met casually. Wendy gritted her teeth and hissed, âArielle, donât flatter yourself. You will be no
better than me! If Mr. Parker saw nothing in me, itâs best you donât go and make a fool of yourself out
there!â
Arielle swept her eyes over Wendy and said impassively, âIf thatâs meant as a bit of kind advice why,
thank you. Otherwise, keep it to yourself.â
Wendy laughed and said, âSo, you are still set on performing, just to show that you can beat me?ââ
Arielle looked Wendy up and down and said calmly, âI have better things to do than that!â
Arielle had her reasons for performing. Firstly, to help Trisha; secondly, to get the attention of the man
she was seeking; thirdly, for the sake of the Goddess of Hunting, the gift from Vinson.
She could not be bothered whether she could get even with Wendy
However, Wendy was adamant and continued, âCome on! Tell me then why you have usurped Trishaâs
performance slot? Let me tell you, Arielle, Vinson may be deceived by you, but I can see your true
colors. One day, I will expose you.â
Annoyed by her persistence, Arielle plugged her ears and said coldly, âI have two funerals to attend
recently; a third one makes no difference. If you bother me anymore, Iâll willingly go to yours.â
âHow dare you?â Wendy spluttered red-faced.
At this moment, Wendyâs Galaxy was being moved from the stage while the Goddess of Hunting, under
the careful handling by the security, was moved onto the stage.
Wendy gave it a cursory glance.
The Goddess of Hunting was made of crystal. In profile, it looked like a gleaming, glittery bow. The three
feet of the piano were different from each other. Using the latest carving technology, the feet depicted the
beautiful love story of the Goddess of Hunting in ancient Greek mythology.
For a moment, Wendyâs attention was completely absorbed in the Goddess of Hunting, to the extent that
she had forgotten that she had just had a quarrel with Arielle.
Taking the chance of this lull, Arielle came to Trisha and urged in a whisper, âRemember, everyone will
see
only the artwork, so you need not feel tense. Just do what you normally do. It does not matter if youâve
made a mistake. Iâm there for you.â
The words warmed Trishaâs heart, and she miraculously felt a lot better.
She nodded vigorously and said, âIâll not let you down!â
âGood girl,â said Arielle as she patted her head, her eyes filled with gentle love for her.
Vinson was just backstage and about to inform Arielle about Steven when he saw the scene. His
handsome face fell into wretchedness.
When will Arielle show me the same concern as she did with Trisha? Does a girl whom she has known
for just a few days mean more to her than me?
When he looked up from this momentary pause, he saw that Arielle had started for the stage.
Vinson decided not to go after her.
Itâs probably better not to tell Arielle about Steven; it will only worry her. Heck! Now Iâm the one whoâs
anxious. What if Arielleâs standard is not as good as Iâve expected? What if Steven ridicules her as he did
with Wendy?
However, Vinson managed very quickly to recompose himself.
Arielle has never let me down, and this time will be no different.
