Chapter 1031

Unworthy

Arielle arched an eyebrow at him in amusement. “And what if I succeed?”

“If you succeed, I will retire from the AI design field forever,” Calvin replied.

Hearing his answer, Arielle sighed in disappointment.

“That’s it?”

Her attitude angered Calvin so much that it nearly gave him a stroke.

“What more do you want, then?”

Arielle shook her head.

“Nothing. I’m not accepting this challenge of yours.”

She then had Sasha bring the car around after saying that.

Darn it! I’ll never be able to return if she doesn’t accept my challenge!

Calvin was so desperate that he resorted to provocation. “You’re scared, aren’t you? You won’t accept
my challenge because you’re scared!”

Without even batting an eye, Arielle proceeded to send Vinson a text inviting him to dinner at
Maureen’s Kitchen after work. After that, she placed her phone away and began making her way
toward the car.

Calvin tried to grab Arielle by the arm, but Blake was quicker and subdued him with one hand before he
could even reach her sleeve.



He then twisted Calvin’s wrist and shoved him aside, causing the latter to lose balance and fall face-
first onto the ground.

The car was long gone by the time Calvin got back on his feet, much to his frustration.

“Damn it, you b*tch! Get back here!”

At this time, Oliver’s lackey appeared behind him and said with an apologetic smile, “Just ignore her,
Mr. Zeller. She’s nothing but an arrogant brat.”

Under normal circumstances, Calvin would have ignored him completely. This time, however, he
desperately clung to his sleeve and pleaded, “You’ve got to help me, Mr. Lyon!”

The mentioned guy gave Calvin a reassuring pat on the back of his hand. “Don’t worry, she won’t be
able to launch the product on time. When that happens, the company will have a new chairman, and
this office building will still be yours. Just do as Mr. Moore says and everything will return the way it
was.”

Calvin was no fool and could tell that Mr. Lyon wanted him to pick a side between Oliver and Jacob.

Be it the former or the latter that would eventually rise to power, Calvin had always maintained a neutral
stance to ensure he would reap the benefits, regardless.

However, with the way things were at the moment, he had no choice but to pick a side.

“I’ll do whatever Mr. Moore asks of me from now on!” Calvin muttered through clenched teeth.

“Good, very good!” Mr. Lyon was grinning from ear to ear as he patted Calvin on the hand again.

In the meantime, inside the MPV, Blake asked out of curiosity, “Why didn’t you accept his challenge,
Arielle?”



“Unworthy,” Arielle mumbled with her eyes closed.

Upon hearing that, Sasha chuckled in agreement. “You need to make sure both parties are of equal
status before accepting a challenge, Blake. That guy was unworthy of challenging Arielle at all.”

Blake nodded and could not wait for the product to be launched.

Arielle then headed over to the bank to complete the name change procedures for Southall Group.

With the new business license in hand, Arielle glanced at the distant horizon and slowly closed her
eyes.

I’ve gotten the company back for you, Mom. I know it’s in a mess at the moment, but I promise I will
restore it to its former glory! You can trust me on that!

Having made up her mind, Arielle clenched her fists and slowly opened her eyes. “Blake, head back to
the office and make sure that the workers get the company sign replaced.”

“Sure!” Blake then made an “OK” gesture at her before heading off to the office on an e-scooter.

Arielle waited until he was out of sight before turning toward Sasha. “Come on, let’s head over to
Maureen’s Kitchen. Oh, by the way, the ingredients in the trunk are still fresh, right?”
