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

year’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

I 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.”
