Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304 The Scheme Arielle said sweetly, “Vinson, I want to have some shrimp.”

A housekeeper immediately stepped forward to peel a shrimp, but Arielle stopped her and added, “Vinson, I want you to peel it for me instead.”

Penelope could not help but scoff to herself at the display.

Does Arielle think she’s some sort of fairy? She must be foolish enough to ask Vinson to peel shrimp for her! He’ll definitely scold her for her impudence! Here comes my chance to shine!

Suddenly, Vinson waved the housekeeper off before he proceeded to peel a shrimp and fed it to Arielle.

What the heck?

Penelope was furious. Instantly, she lost her appetite despite the delicious spread on the dining table.

With that, Penelope’s carefully planned dinner ended in shambles as Vinson patiently indulged Arielle’s every whim. The woman was panicking at how the situation had turned out.

Still, she did not want to leave the dining table early. She vowed to spend as much time as she could in Vinson’s presence in hopes of convincing him to fall in love with her.

What should I do? Vinson’s adoration of Arielle merely fueled Penelope’s determination to win him over. She would do anything it took to steal Vinson from Arielle.

Just then, a light bulb went off in Penelope’s head. She whipped out her phone and tapped on it furiously. Half an hour later, she set down her device, looking like the cat that got the cream.

In the middle of the night, a scandalous post circulated on the web, entitled: Nightshire Group CEO secretly married Arielle Moore and cheated.

Rayson had a habit of surfing the internet for news and gossip to kill time. However, he did not expect to stumble upon a salacious piece of gossip about his own boss.

He immediately clicked on the post and read the entire article. After he had done so, he felt an urge to murder someone. Which dumb*ss is this? Using an anonymous account to spread false rumors about Mr. Nightshire!

Rayson did not dwell on the identity of the poster for long. Without further ado, he quickly contacted Nightshire Group’s PR department, asking them to take down the post and shut down the anonymous account.

After arranging for the post to be deleted, Rayson called Vinson. When the line connected, he explained the situation and asked, “Boss, do you want us to investigate the poster’s identity?”

Thank God the post only garnered less than twenty views before I stumbled upon it. We would have been in big trouble if millions of people had come across it.

Meanwhile, Vinson listened to Rayson’s explanation with a dark expression on his face. Few people know about my marriage to Arielle. How did this person find out about my relationship status and the “other woman” in our home? They have too much information about our private lives.

“Go ahead with the investigation!”

Vinson glanced at Arielle, who was sound asleep beside him, and his gaze sharpened. I can put up with anything except putting Arielle through any potential humiliation. It’s bad enough that I had to bring Penelope home. I can’t upset her further.

As soon as Rayson hung up, he began investigating the IP address of the anonymous poster.

Surprisingly, the investigation results led him to someone in the Nightshire residence.

Could it be Mr. Nightshire’s housekeeper?

After getting over his shock, Rayson proceeded with his investigation, eventually pinpointing it to Penelope. He hurriedly informed Vinson of his findings.

Vinson ended the call and placed his phone on the bedside table. Then, he left his room quietly and came to Penelope’s room door, knocking on it with an inscrutable expression.

Presently, Penelope was frantically checking the impact of her post. There were at least ten views of this post. Why did my post disappear? This can’t be happening! I need this post to make the rounds and evolve into a massive scandal. Only then will Arielle leave this place in a huff and give me a shot at becoming Vinson’s woman. That’s my chance at leading an extravagant lifestyle with a handsome husband to boot!
