Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Deal with her once and for all (2)
Very subtly Ariel gritted her teeth. Indeed, Riley spotted Ariana first when her dearest sister was working in a small café and came looking for Ariana at the Harlow house.

Fortunately for Ariel, back then Ariana was rushing to collect her dormitory fee and was not at home but instead at her second job. Because of that, Ariel ran into Riley who had come to scout Ariana.

Of course, Ariel believed and was more than confident in her own abilities and beauty. So she naturally expected to win over Riley at once.

If Ariana could do it, she could do it too.

But the woman had looked her in the eyes before coldly spitting out a cruel fact,

‘You lack the beauty and wisdom of your sister. In fact, you look like those dumb idols who pretend to be cute when they are not.’

It would not be wrong to say that Ariel was simply crushed by those words.

She had been insecure all her life because everyone except her mother told her that her little sister was much more intelligent and beautiful.

But hearing it from a talent scout manager was simply a blow to her confidence and ego.

‘Since I couldn’t defeat Ariana fair and square, I could only make use of Noah,’ Ariel took a bite of her low-calorie chicken wing.

“Are you listening to me?” Riley raised her voice when she saw Ariel was lost in her thoughts.

“I am.”

“Then tell me what did I say just now?” Riley questioned Ariel with her hands on her hips and Ariel remained quiet like a student who was caught speaking in the class.

Seeing that she was not speaking Riley pinched the bridge of her nose. She then proceeded to say, “I asked you to contact Mister Nelson as quickly as possible. I have told you that Director Sokolov is preparing for another movie.”

“The auditions are set to start in a few days, it will be troublesome if you fail in getting the main lead role.”

“I——”

The door of the ward was pushed open and Ariel thought it was Noah. Believing that it was Noah, she hooked her lips in a charming smile, but that smile stiffened when Glynn entered the room.

‘What is she doing here?’ Ariel thought while politely smiling at Glynn.

Though she was annoyed by the fact that the person who came to see her was Glynn and Noah, Ariel still managed to look welcoming and kind.

“Glynn, what a pleasant surprise! I was honestly missing you a lot, it’s like we have and share a telepathic connection,” Ariel smilingly spoke to Glynn whose lips curled into a radiant smile as well.

On the side, Riley rolled her eyes. She was used to seeing Ariel change her expression in the flick of a second, however, what she was not used to was seeing her manipulate people.

Glynn moved through the ward and placed the expensive fruit basket and gifts that she had brought with her on the cabinet next to Ariel’s bed.

“More than a telepathic connection, I say we share the same bad luck,” Glynn sighed exasperatedly before sitting down on the stool next to Ariel’s bed.

“What happened?” Ariel asked with a light furrow, as she reached forward and held Glynn’s hand. “Did Noah say something to you? If that’s the case, then you can tell me, I will talk to him.”

Though she sounded concerned, there was a hint of proactiveness in her tone.

Glynn opened her mouth, but then she turned her head and looked at Riley who understood what Glynn wanted and said, “I will go grab a can of coffee.”

After she was finished speaking, she turned on her heels and walked out of the ward.

Glynn waited until she was gone and only when the door of the ward closed did she open her mouth, “Don’t even get me started. I thought that after pushing that bitch out of my house, her chapter will be done and over, but my grandfather has other plans.”

“Did Ari do something?” Ariel asked lightly while the fingers underneath the cover balled into a tight fist. Did that slut do something when she was not paying attention to her?

Was this why Noah did not come to visit her?

“That’s the thing she didn’t do anything!” Glynn rolled her eyes and crossed her arms and legs. “And yet, my grandpa cannot forget her. Occasionally I wonder what kind of potion she had fed him.”

“Maybe that bitch truly is a witch. That would explain why my grandfather is still adamant about bringing her back, she has been gone for so long.”

“It’s only reasonable that our family forgets her but neither my mother nor my grandfather appears to be willing to do that. Now my grandfather has invited her to his birthday ball and my mother is at it as well.”

Ariel’s fists tightened even more until her sharp nails dug into her skin.

“Anyway, my grandfather was not willing to invite you or your family,” Glynn said with a frown on her face. “I had to steal an invitation for you. However, it’s only one person’s invite, so come alone, alright?”

As she spoke Glynn rummaged in her branded bag and took out a golden invitation. She handed it to Ariel and stated in an annoyed voice, “I cannot withstand the idea of a lying shameless woman who intervened between my brother and your relationship to attend the ball while you stay at home.”

“So make sure to come to the ball, we will handle that woman like we did last time.”

Ariel was inwardly satisfied when she heard Glynn say those words.

Even though she was complaining about how Glynn only gave her a single-person invitation.

“Will that be alright? I don’t want your grandpa to get angry with you…and Ari is still my sister. I don’t intend to hurt her.”

“This is why she is jumping on your head!” Glynn spoke in dissatisfaction. “You are just too good to her, which is why I will make sure that this time around that bitch will be ruined for good.”

Her eyes flashed with maliciousness as she said to Ariel, “Just you wait, this time around I will make sure that woman will never be able to raise her head in front of anyone.”

Because she was going to ruin Ariana’s beautiful face for once and all!
