Out of curiosity, she picked up the phone and asked, “Hi, may I know who this is?” The next moment, a woman replied crossly, “Where are you? Let’s meet up.” After confirming that the voice was unfamiliar, Arielle frowned and said, “I’m afraid you have the wrong number.” “Not at all,” she said coldly, “I’m Vinson’s mom. I’ll meet you at Soir Coffee in Nightshire Square half an hour later.” With that, she ended the call without giving her a chance to say no. Arielle’s gaze dimmed as she put her phone down. If I’m not mistaken, Vinson’s mom is Susanne Stone.
To a certain extent, Susanne’s attitude was similar to Vinson’s, for both of them didn’t give others any chance to say no. Arielle remembered Vinson said that Susanne and her mom used to be good friends. Therefore, Arielle thought she could get some information from Susanne about her father. Although Susanne didn’t talk nicely, Arielle wanted to meet her anyway. She told Henrick that Vinson was bringing her out for supper. Meanwhile, Henrick was delighted upon hearing it and agreed to it right away. He even reminded Arielle caringly, “I’m not a conservative man. So, I won’t ask you to come home early. Have fun.” In other words, he won’t mind if I spend the night elsewhere.
What an open-minded father! Arielle pretended to smile in response and called a cab to the cafe. Soon, the sky turned dark. There was no traffic jam in Jadeborough at this hour. As such, Arielle arrived at the meeting place proposed by Susanne within half an hour. Arielle used to visit Soir Coffee for commercial shooting. As such, the staff welcomed her excitedly once she entered. “Ms. Sannie, it’s our honor to have you here. Would you like to have coffee? We have just launched a new drink today. Would you like to try it?” Arielle declined the offer with a smile.
Then, she glanced around the coffee shop but didn’t see Susanne. A moment later, she asked, “Is there any private room here? I’m expecting someone but not sure where she is now.” “Oh, we do have a private room. The two guests in the room also say they are expecting someone. Please come with me.” “Sure, thank you.” Arielle nodded and followed the staff to the private room. Once the staff opened the door, Arielle saw the graceful Susanne in the private room. Also, a girl with a sweet smile on her face was sitting next to Susanne.
She was the one who came to see Vinson after the shooting ended. Since Susanne brought this girl, her message was clear. Meanwhile, the two of them looked in the direction of the entrance and frowned in unison the moment they saw Arielle. Wendy frowned because she was shocked by Arielle’s beauty and felt displeased. Meanwhile, Susanne was stunned once she realized that Arielle looked like her old friend who passed away more than the photo.
Apart from Arielle’s physical appearance, her demeanor was also similar to her late friend. Susanne couldn’t help but feel that they didn’t have to apply any makeup to showcase their beauty. As Susanne was deep in thought, she instinctively gripped the cup of coffee. How is it possible that they look alike? Could it be a coincidence?
