Chapter 194 Being Chased Out,A Beauty with Multiple Masks
Stunned, Arielle asked curiously, “Why?” Just as she spoke, her breath blew past two strands of stray
hair, tempting Vinson to tuck them back behind her ear. However, he tried hard to suppress the urge to
do it. Chuckling awkwardly, he averted his gaze and held her hand. “It’s nothing.” He just resented
others ogling at her beauty. Arielle felt puzzled over the exchange. Nevertheless, as his plus one, she
naturally accepted the hand he offered.
Holding each other’s hands, they sauntered down the red carpet together. Given how amazing both of
them looked, they were undoubtedly the most compatible couple at the event. As the emcee was the
first to regain his senses, he remarked excitedly, “It’s a surprise to see Mr. Nightshire attending this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyear’s event with a companion. Mr. Nightshire, come, please sign here before you enter.” After
receiving a fountain pen from an usher, Vinson signed his name neatly before leading Arielle inside.
Many of the guests regained their senses only after Vinson and Arielle disappeared into the venue.
“Who is that girl? She’s absolutely stunning!” “Given that she came with Mr. Nightshire, she definitely
isn’t someone ordinary. I must chat them up later.” Of course, there would naturally be negative
comments. “I know who she is. So what if she’s pretty? She is the daughter that the Southalls were
reunited with. She grew up in the village. Other than being pretty, I don’t think she is good for anything
else.” “Huh? She grew up in a village? Tsk-tsk, that means she won’t amount to much at all.”
“It is a tradition of this event for everyone to participate in a round-robin chess tournament. The
participants ranked at the bottom ten will be asked to leave the venue. As a village girl, I’m not sure if
she even knows what chess is…” “Hahaha, it seems she is going to be forced to leave right after
entering.” While making snide remarks, they just couldn’t wait to see Arielle being kicked out after
losing. Coincidentally, Vinson heard their conversation and shot a glare in their direction.
The few of them quickly lowered their heads in guilt. They might dare to ridicule Arielle, but definitely
did not have the guts to do the same to Vinson. After recovering his gaze, Vinson led Arielle into the
venue. Having heard their words also, Arielle asked curiously, “What kind of gathering is this?” “This is
the national Haut Monde, where all the elites from every industry and the top financiers of the country
gather.
They also include top detectives and police officers in the country. I will introduce you to them later. In
the event you need any help, you can always look for them. Of course, they aren’t the main reason why
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI have brought you here. Instead, we’re here to see Josiah Doyle.” “Josiah Doyle? Who is he?” Vinson
explained, “The chairman of Noah Group who is also a chess fanatic. Coincidentally, your mom is a
very skilled chess player.
Based on my investigations, he is a friend of hers and likely knows who your biological father is.” Arielle
widened her eyes in shock. So, it seems Vinson didn’t bring me here to accompany him. Instead… Touched by his gesture, Arielle replied, “Thank you. I realize that there’s no way I can thank
you enough for all that you have done for me.” Vinson couldn’t help but smile. “It’s not like you did any
lesser for me.” Returning his smile, Arielle asked, “So, why is chess played during the Haut Monde?
Also, why does the bottom ten need to leave the venue?” Vinson replied, “The very first Haut Monde
was founded by Mr. Hans Jewell. He was renowned for his skills in chess. Ever since then, playing
chess became a tradition to kick off the event.”
