Chapter 798

Jared felt a chill down his spine.

Why does it sound like Vin?

Prior to that, he had suspected Vinson was somehow involved with Arielle. Considering Vinson had disappeared, he got worried too.

If that dim–witted Harvey has missed his opportunity with Arielle, he will never be able to find a better wife.

After putting his phone away quickly, Jared hurried back to class to continue his lessons.

Meanwhile, just like a worried father, Vinson stopped what he was doing and walked over to Arielle‘s side to question her.

Waving her phone, Arielle replied, “My classmate, Jared. He‘s Harvey‘s younger brother.”

“Oh, that kid.” Vinson nodded and asked, “Does he have a girlfriend yet?”

“Doesn‘t look like it. I have never heard him mention it before.”

“I’ll introduce one to him then.”

“Huh?” Arielle asked curiously, “Why do you want to introduce a girl to him all of a sudden?”

Vinson stared at Arielle intently. “So that he doesn‘t call my wife for no reason.”

Arielle choked. “Come on, Vinson. You‘re overreacting. I‘m not that desirable. You’re blowing things out of proportion.”

“One can never be too cautious.”

“The saying isn‘t supposed to be used in such circumstances.” After frowning at Vinson, Arielle got serious. “The news online has generated enough controversy. Therefore, it‘s time for the trial to begin.”

“Mmm–hmm. Everything is already in place for tomorrow.”

Giving her back a stretch, Arielle checked her watch. “It‘s almost time for dinner. In order to reward you, Mr. Nightshire, I will personally prepare dinner. So, what would you like to have?”

Vinson gave her a mischievous look. “Anything I want?”

Despite sensing something amiss, Arielle nodded still. “I‘ll try my best.”

“Alright.” Vinson stepped forward and hugged her waist. “I want to have you.”

Speechless, Arielle could feel her cheeks burn in embarrassment. She extended her hand to push Vinson away. “Can you be more serious? This is your office. What if someone sees us.”

“No one dares to enter without my permission.”

Just as he spoke, the office door was suddenly flung open.

With a grim expression, Vinson scowled at the door and saw a bodyguard with an anxious expression.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Vinson asked, “What‘s wrong? Why are you panicking?”

The bodyguard hung his head and reported, “Mr. Nightshire, the Specialized Forces have reported that Cindy has gone missing.”

“What?”

“What?”

Vinson and Arielle exclaimed in unison.

“What happened? Isn‘t she locked up in the Specialized Forces‘ detention center? How could she just disappear?” Vinson questioned.

Sweating profusely, the bodyguard recounted what the Specialized Forces messenger had said while wiping off his cold sweat.

“When Cindy fainted from her second punishment, she was brought back to her cell so that she could continue when she awoke. However, when they returned to her cell after a while, she was gone.”

Vinson furrowed his eyebrows in frustration.

Arielle interjected, “She couldn‘t have disappeared into thin air. Someone must have rescued her. What about Matthias? Where is he?”

The bodyguard replied, “That was the first place we checked. Considering how grievous Matthias‘

injuries were, he lost consciousness by the time we arrived at the hospital after the long journey.

Moreover, he had just woken up half an hour ago. Therefore, it couldn‘t have been him as our men are still keeping an eye on him.”

“Who can it be then?” Arielle bit her lip forcefully.
