Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 420: Chapter 420 I Refuse

The two of them created a look. Ariel was wearing the black vintage puff dress she loved, which perfectly outlined her body curves bit by bit. The skirt was embroidered with luxurious dahlias, faintly visible as she walked. The added silver and gold threads in the embroidery sparkled under the lighting, making it exceptionally beautiful.

A black veil adorned her black hat, obscuring the upper half of Ariel’s face, leaving only her delicate chin and full red lips exposed to everyone.

Sitting in the living room waiting for someone, Arthur was pretending to nap until the sound of high heels tapping on the floor woke him. When he saw Ariel’s outfit, a hint of satisfaction finally flickered in his cold eyes.

"Today’s outfit is not bad," Arthur said with satisfaction.

His gaze at Ariel held no affection, unlike a father looking at his daughter; instead, it was as if he was evaluating a commodity. Now this commodity seemed poised to fetch a good price, leading to a trace of a satisfied smile on his face.

"Remember to perform well at tonight’s party; the future of the Arthur family depends on you. I am getting old," Arthur patted Ariel’s shoulder as if making a promise, yet he gave her nothing; if you take it seriously, you’ve lost.

So Ariel merely smiled and said, "Father, you are still going strong, even younger men may not match your prowess."

Arthur’s gray eyes glanced at Ariel sideways, a sardonic expression on his face without speaking. Ariel stood still, allowing Arthur to scrutinize her, but his gaze shifted from Ariel to Xu Ke. Xu Ke, dressed in a black suit, stood beside Ariel, looking as though he was going to follow. Arthur frowned displeasedly.
