Chapter 851

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 851 Arielle had never thought of herself as a good person.

On the contrary, she‘d always make sure to take an eye for an eye. And just because Matthias had a change in attitude didn‘t mean she‘d forgive him for his past actions.

That being said, she still did everything in her power to help reduce his sentence, even though Matthias‘ crimes were enough to send him away to the Specialized Forces Prison.

“Ten years…” Matthias muttered, his expression virtually unreadable.

“If you can‘t find a job ten years later, you can come to me,” Arielle said, shocking Matthias even more.

He knew right there and then that he could never hold a candle to Arielle.

Matthias choked back his tears and forced a smile. “All right. If I can‘t find a job upon my release, I‘ll be sure to ask you for help.”

In actuality, Matthias had planned on taking his own life before serving his sentence. After all, what was the point in living without a purpose? However, Arielle‘s words had instilled him with hope and given him a reason to live on.

Besides, it‘d be stupid to sacrifice so m After leaving the ward with the contracts in hand, Arielle turned toward Vinson. “Feels good to have this sudden windfall. Let‘s go. I‘ll buy you a nice meal.”

Vinson grinned cheekily as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Okay! Are you also going to take care of me for the rest of your life?”

Even though his tone was languid, there was still an unmistakable hint of mischief in his eyes that made Arielle think she was getting teased.

To make matters worse, Vinson was inching closer, with his unwavering gaze still fixed on her.

“What are you doing? Keep your distance from me!” Arielle snapped as she pushed him away. uch for someone as heartless as Cindy.

Unfortunately, Vinson was too quick and grabbed her wrists in retaliation.

Arielle struggled to break free, but when she miscalculated her strength, her palm got flung right up into Vinson‘s face.

Then, a loud smack rang out and echoed throughout the corridor.

The bodyguard who was hiding in the dark widened his eyes in horror, only to quickly look away and pretend he hadn‘t seen anything.

Rayson, on the other hand, turned around awkwardly with bated breath.

Oh, my goodness. Even though it‘s Arielle, Mr. Nightshire will still lose his temper with her, won‘t he?

I‘ve worked with him for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone slap him…

Arielle, too, was so taken aback that she spaced out momentarily. “I‘m sorry! I‘m so, so sorry! I didn‘t mean to hit you! I swear I only wanted to draw my hand back.”

I didn‘t think Vinson would pick such bad timing to lean in! If it weren‘t for that, I wouldn‘t have accidentally slapped him!

In any case, Arielle had no intention to hit Vinson, and she could only hope that he‘d understand.

Alas, her anxiety was quickly spiraling out of control. And with that came a mixture of regret, frustration, and fear.

Naturally, Arielle was afraid of incurring Vinson‘s wrath.

After mustering up enough courage to sneak a peek at Vinson, she realized he looked just as stunned as her.

All of a sudden, the corners of Vinson‘s mouth dropped. He pointed at his reddened cheek and whined, “It hurts. Please rub it.”

“Huh? What?”

To answer Arielle‘s question, Vinson placed her hand on his face.

Thankful that he wasn‘t mad at her, Arielle finally calmed her racing heart and rubbed Vinson‘s cheek apologetically.

His face was warm, and she could even feel the stubble on his upper lip.

Vinson‘s lips gradually curled into a smile. “Let‘s go. We’ll send Teddy and his father home before heading back.”

As for the slap, I shall get her to pay me back some other way.
