Caught In The Act
Vinson gazed at him for a while and agreed to it. “Fine. I’ll give you half a month to complete the task.”
“It’s too short. You must know that it’s difficult to sneak into the place. I can’t possibly get in by simply
disguising myself. Hence, I think I’ll need at least a month.”
“Alright. A month it is. Remember that I want to know everything about Turlen.”
“Deal.”
The man patted his recently-shaved leg excitedly like a kid. Then, he began to propose a toast to Vinson.
“My zillionaire, come and have a few glasses of drink with me. I only had some cheap wine on the plane
for more than ten hours. My goodness! It almost drove me mad.”
Vinson casually lifted his glass in response.
The mysterious man was Xavier, the world’s top-ranked detective. Anything that could be imagined was
something he could do.
Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to hire Xavie. However, Xavier willingly helped
Vinson because the latter coincidentally rescued him before.
“Don’t just stare at your wine. Drink it!” Xavier lifted Vinson’s glass for him.
Frowning, Vinson replied, “It’s okay. My wife will be upset when she notices the smell of alcohol.”
“What? Did you say you have a wife?” Xavier asked shockingly, “What kind of a silly woman falls for a
man with a poker face like you?”
Instantly, Vinson’s pulled a long face. “Watch your mouth!”
Xavier got dumbstruck upon seeing Vinson’s reaction. He blurted out a swear word and exclaimed, “My
goodness! You’re not joking! You do have a wife!”
Before Xavier finished, the bar’s security guard came in nervously and reported to Vinson. “Mr.
Nightshire, a woman is waiting outside and calling you by name. She said she wants you to come out
now, o-or else…”
Xavier asked curiously, “Go on.”
After glancing at Vinson, the security guard continued, “Or else you’ll be dead.”
“Hahahaha!” Xavier patted his leg. “This is fun! I want to find out who she is!”
“Hey, your identity must be kept secret. Stay here. I’ll go out and take a look.”
Vinson cast Xavier a warning glance before going out with doubts.
Why is there a woman who asks to see me?
Vinson couldn’t think of anyone who knew his whereabouts. After all, he had been cautious and was sure
that no one followed him just now.
Feeling that something was off, Vinson’s expression turned grim. Also, he instructed a few bodyguards to
go out with him to ensure his safety.
When Vinson finally came to the bar entrance and saw the woman, he was rooted to the ground.
“Sannie?”
He never imagined that Arielle would be here to look for him.
Vinson came up to Arielle hurriedly and wanted to hold her hand. However, she dodged him in anger.
As such, Vinson couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Sannie, what’s going on?”
After a while, Arielle finally cast a cold glance at Vinson.
Impatience overwhelmed Arielle even after she spent many hours in the archive. In the end, she decided
to call a cab to the bar.
Knowing that the truth would probably break her heart, Arielle was fed up with taking wild guesses and
made up her mind to take a look by herself.
Deep down, she was mentally prepared to let go of Vinson if necessary. After all, she believed she could
continue with her life without Vinson.
Even though she could tolerate all of Vinson’s bad habits, she refused to keep quiet if Vinson cheated on
her.
“Sannie?”
Vinson’s heart skipped a beat when Arielle stared at him silently and dodged him. No matter how
composed he usually was, his face couldn’t help but redden at that moment.
Shortly after, Arielle finally took a deep breath and broke the silence. “Would you mind explaining why
you’re here?”
Deep in Arielle’s heart, she was ready to leave once she confirmed that Vinson had cheated on her.
Moreover, she told herself not to be soft-hearted.
