A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Who is calling me at this hour?
Donovan massaged his temples to soothe his headache. Refused to see Arielle’s arrogance on the
stage, he left the hall and answered the phone.
Immediately, a lecturer said over the phone excitedly, “Don, I’ve sent your mathematical solutions to a
few directors of Maxwell University, and they are impressed! So, please work hard on your thesis. I heard
that they might lower the standards of obtaining the certificate for you. Instead of sending three students
to Maxwell University, they might lower it down to one student. So, your thesis will be of utmost
importance!”
Delighted, Donovan replied, “All right, sir. I’ll work hard on it!”
“Okay. Also, do you remember that I mentioned a senior who’s good at advanced math? Get her help as
soon as possible, and you’ll complete your thesis smoothly.”
“Understood!”
Donovan’s hand shook visibly after the call ended.
I was supposed to send three students to Maxwell University to get the certificate. Once I pass my
thesis, I only need to send one student. That’s good news! However…
Donovan’s countenance fell again, for he knew that he had the opportunity only because of Arielle.
Instead of feeling delighted about the news, he was inexplicably upset and even disgusted for some
reason.
He had the same feelings in the hall earlier on. It was as if he had stolen from Arielle for his self-interest.
Donovan shut his eyes and took a deep breath. After regaining his composure, he slowly opened his
eyes.
Arielle won’t know about it anyway. Besides, who knows if she only happened to come up with the
mathematical solutions?
Since I’m Arielle’s lecturer, why can’t I use her work? After all, my students’ work is the same as mine
because I’ve taught them.
Donovan felt a lot more relieved at the thought.
Since the board of directors valued him, he didn’t have to return to the hall to greet Steven and the other
musicians.
Meanwhile, Susanne was in a trance even after Steven and the other musicians left the hall.
She was deeply drenched in the melody played by Arielle and couldn’t come to her senses yet.
Deep down, she remembered only one man who had superb piano skills like Arielle—Maureen’s
husband.
Back then, Maureen’s piano skills improved tremendously with the man’s tutoring.
He couldn’t possibly teach Arielle because she doesn’t even know him.
In that case, it’s possible that Arielle is his child.
Susanne felt shocked but tempted to know more at the same time.
After all these years, Susanne didn’t know the man’s whereabouts and whether his family punished
Maureen and her child.
They say parents would never harm their children. What if the family didn’t get rid of Maureen’s child but
accepted her instead? If that’s true, does it mean that I lost the perfect daughter-in-law?
After hesitating for a while, Susanne finally decided to give up on that idea due to her fear.
The Nightshire family is more than enough. I don’t have to take the risk to build a relationship with that
family.
As Susanne pondered over it, she suddenly heard Wendy’s sobbing near her.
