Chapter 26
Shandie’s expression bordered on savagery, to which Arielle responded with a stern rebuke. “Get your hands off. You’ve been warned!”
She had really been overtly polite to Shandie all the time.
Shandie was stewing as she stared straight into Arielle’s eyes, but what she saw hidden inside was like a gargantuan glacier that could swallow someone whole.
That intimidating coldness shocked Shandie as it was something she had never seen before.
Arielle tugged Shandie’s offending hand off her own collar and turned to the host. “Sir, I think my sister might be a little agitated, so it might be best if you could bring her backstage to cool off.”
Before the host could react, two black-clad bodyguards walked onstage and positioned themselves either side of Shandie before they escorted her off.

Arielle was a little taken aback by the appearance of the duo as she did not bring along any bodyguards herself on this trip back.
In the next second, a tall and stalwart man steadily approached her.
It was Vinson.
His standout chiseled face appeared unapproachable without a smile, but perhaps owing to the lighting from behind him, he seemed a little more genial at this time.
“Are those two bodyguards working for you?”
Arielle asked.
Vinson stopped less than two feet away from her and extended his right hand. “Congratulations for becoming the brand ambassador to Soir Coffee, the retail chain under Nightshire Group. I’ll have my lawyer contact you regarding the details in due time.”
Arielle did not manage to reply before Henrick’s voice rang out again. “Thank you for giving Sannie this opportunity, Mr. Nightshire. As she’s still young and unfamiliar with contractual agreements, I’ll be standing in as her manager. So please, direct your lawyer to follow up with me.
Vinson evoked a rare smile at Henrick. “In that case, we’ll be in touch again.”
Seeing that Vinson was about to leave, Henrick quickly called after him. ‘Wait, Mr. Nightshire! To facilitate communications, would you be able to give me one of your name-cards?”
That only earned him a frosty look from Vinson.
The demeanor of his assistant beside him was just as aloof. “Mr. Nightshire’s name card is custom-made and is not something granted to just anyone. There’s no need for you to try to reach us either, as we’ll contact you as and when there’s a need to.”
