Chapter 171

Chapter 171 A Meal Even if she wasn’t the one responsible for my mother’s death, the things that she did to me after she returned home are more than enough of a reason for me to despise her!

Meanwhile, Cindy, who was carrying firewood in the mountains, suddenly sneezed.

Is someone cursing me?

Miffed, Louisa turned around and yelled, “Hurry up or we won’t be able to make it back by sundown!”

“Yes,” Cindy replied with a sullen look on her face.

After I’m done with Henrick, I’m coming for you next, you little wench!

In the meantime, Arielle was heading back to the set for her commercial shoot. She could finally continue with the shoot now that the incident pertaining to the explosion had settled down.

Vinson, on the other hand, was woken up by a call from the director on set.

“Mr. Nightshire, we are ready for the shoot now. Can you come over?”

Surprised, Vinson got up from his bed and asked, “You’re ready for the shoot? Is Arielle already there?”

“Yes, Ms. Moore has already arrived.”

Vinson was stupefied. Does she not feel exhausted after what happened yesterday?

I don’t know if she’s hardworking or just plain stupid.

Nevertheless, that’s her character.

He let out a resigned sigh before replying, “Okay. You guys can start the shoot first. I’ll head there as soon as I can.”

“Yes, Mr. Nightshire.” The director hung up the call.

Vinson did a few stretches and went to brush his teeth.

I wonder if Arielle has eaten her breakfast yet? I should buy breakfast for her on the way there.

Vinson suddenly recalled the question asked by Carter yesterday on whether or not he had a crush on Arielle. To avoid any misunderstandings, Vinson decided to buy breakfast for everyone on the set.

After Vinson was done brushing his teeth, he dashed downstairs.

Just as he got down to the living room, his path was obstructed by a hand that had a jade bracelet on it.

It was his mother, Susanne.

Vinson raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently, “What’s the matter, mom?”

Susanne pursed her lips. “I told you countless times to come home earlier. Why won’t you listen? I’ve been staying up to wait for you!”

Vinson replied apathetically, “I’ve been busy with work recently. You don’t need to wait for me.”

Susanne scowled at Vinson. “Is your work more important to you than your marriage? Enough of that, I want you to eat with me and Ms. Greene. It’s been a long time since we last had a meal together.”

Vinson aligned his eyes with Susanne’s. “Ms. Greene?”

Susanne smiled before answering, “The Greenes were originally supposed to return to Horington today. However, now that Ms. Greene has been enrolled in a university here, they are here to stay. In fact, Ms. Greene will be staying with us throughout her study period.”

Vinson’s eyes looked lifeless and cold as he remained silent.

Seeing as Vinson was quiet, Susanne quickly dragged him over to the dining table.

“Come, let me introduce Ms. Greene to you.”

Delighted, Susanne had a big grin on her face.

Not only was Ms. Greene from a prestigious family, but she was also very polite and ladylike. Moreover, since the Greenes had quite an influence in Horington, marrying her would definitely benefit the Nightshires.
