His Versatile Gorgeous Wife (PDF)

Chapter 2

At the Southall residence.

The entire place was set up for a birthday party.

Shandie Southall, who was wearing the latest season’s dress from LV, was surrounded by socialites

buttering her up.

“Shandie, your dress is beautiful! It’s like a milky way.

“This is the dress from LV’s spring edition, isn’t it? I couldn’t even rent it, but you actually managed to

buy it! Your dad is so nice to you!”

“Happy birthday, Shandie. I heard Sam Sleight has offered you a role. You’re definitely going to be the

most popular actress of the year. Don’t forget about us when you become famous.”

“Who cares about the entertainment industry? Shannie’s just there for fun. Who is she? She’s Shandie

Moore. It’s so easy for her to be famous.”

Concealing the glee in her eyes, Shandie uttered, “Thank you very much. Let me go and check when

the cake’s coming.”

When Shandie returned to the mansion, she nearly collided with her mother, who was heading toward

the outside

“Mom.”Lowering her voice, she whispered to Cindy Moore. “Has my cousin’s men returned yet? It’s my

twentieth birthday today. I don’t want others to find out that our family has a girl who was kidnapped by

human traffickers.”

Lovingly tidying the edge of Shandie’s skirt, Cindy murmured, “No news is good news. Don’t worry. She

won’t be able to come back. Even if she does, the traffickers had sold her to some faraway village.

What can a country bumpkin like her do?”

Shandie nodded in agreement. In fact, a part of her hoped that the country bumpkin would be able to

return.

That way, she would be able to relish the fact that she was the true daughter of a wealthy family.

“Bad news, Mrs. Southall” the housekeeper cried out as she rushed in. “A Nightshire helicopter landed

on the lawn outside.

“The Nightshires?” Shandie’s eyes lit up. “Mom, say, do you think Dad invited Vinson Nightshire?”

Cindy was surprised as well.

Although the Southalls were running one of the top businesses in the country, and they were one of the

prominent families in Jadeborough, the Nightshires were one of the top families in the world.

Vinson Nightshire was the heir of the Nightshire Group, and the Southalls still did not have the

capability of inviting Vinson to their daughter’s birthday party

Maybe Vinson thinks that the business deal with our family is important?

“Let’s have a look.” Cindy was perplexed, but it was a pleasant surprise for her.

If our family gets to build a relationship with the Nightshires, we won’t need to worry about anything

anymore.

After the mother and daughter touched up their makeups, they then excitedly rushed toward the

lawn.

By then, a group of nouveau riche had already gathered on the lawn.

The moment Shandie walked over, the socialites crowded around her with jealous looks.

“Shannie, you actually invited the Nightshires! You’re amazing.”

“How could you not have told me something as important as this? I should’ve hired a professional

makeup artist to put on my makeup today.”

Shandie smiled, but in her mind, she scoffed.

The Nightshires are here for me. Why would you need to put on any makeup?l must have caught

Vinson’s interest in the ceremony held by the Nightshires last month.I’m going to be Mrs.

Nightshire soon!

Right then, the helicopter door slowly opened.

As everyone watched in anticipation, a young woman in ragged clothes jumped down from the vehicle.

She was a slender young woman whose face was coated with dirt and dust. No one could see how she

originally looked like. Even her hair was in a tangled mess as if she had not washed her head for an

entire month.

“What…”

Everyone then turned to look at Shandie. Those who did not like her began mocking, “Shannie, is this

your esteemed guest? A beggar?”

Livid, Shandie stormed over and questioned, “Who are you? Who do you think you are to join my

birthday party?” “Birthday party?” Instantly Arielle realized who the arrogant girl was.

it was known to others that she was Cindy’s adopted daughter, but the detective had told her that

Shandie was actually Cindy and Henrick’s illegitimate child.

He doesn’t even know whether his real daughter is dead or alive, but he’s holding a birthday party for

his illegitimate daughter? Ha.

“Who am 17″ Anelle stared at the girl

am your father”

“You

Right as Shandie was about to lose her temper, Anelle belatedly added, “Your father’s real daughter.”

Shandie froze, and the others around them instantly looked interested to watch the scene unfold

When Shandie came back to her senses, she stammered, “Y Youre Anielle Moore?”

That country bumpkin?She’s really a country bumpkin, huh?

Fortunately, Cindy was smarter than her daughter, for she hurried forward “Arielle, is that you? I’ve

been waiting for you for so long. My poor child

you’re finally back

Arielle’s lips curled. “Hello, Aunt Cindy, it’s been a while

Despite the smile on her lips, her tone was sarcastic

My mother’s younger sister married my father? My father married my aunt?What nonsense is this?

Something must be up.

The guests began whispering to each other heard that Mrs. Southall used to be the previous Mrs.

Southall’s sister.”

“This must be Ms. Moore, who was kidnapped by human traffickers ten years ago.”

“The Southalls used to be Moores, Henrick Southall actually married into the Moore family. Once

Maureen Moore died, the Moores all took on the family name Southall instead.”

“That actually happened? Seriously.”

Upon hearing their chatters, embarrassment flooded Cindy’s mind. She cleared her throat and

muttered, “Darling, as long as you’re back. I’ll bring you to wash up. Look at you. You’re so dirty You

must have had a difficult life in the

countryside.”

She’s still reminding others that I came from the countryside, it seems like she really hates me

Right as Arielle was about to speak, a low voice sounded out behind her. “Hey.” Everyone immediately

turned to the owner of the voice Once they saw the person coming down from the helicopter, they

stiffened.

It was Vinson

It was Vinson, whose every move dictated the global economy

“Mr. Nightshire?” Shandie excitedly darted forward to welcome him “A-Are you here to join my birthday

party? Thank you!”

Shandie could not conceal the joy in her eyes, and the blush on her face was for all to see

At the start, she thought Vinson had only sent someone to send her birthday greetings, but it turned out

Vinson himself came.

The time for my spring-the time for my happy life-has come!

If she could, she would have jumped in joy

Those around her were casting envious looks at her

Although she was just an adopted daughter, she seemed to have gotten Vinson’s attention. She had

nothing but good days ahead of her.

Yet, in the next second…

Who are you?”

Vinson’s brows knitted as if he had just noticed Shandie. The impatience and confusion in his eyes

were visible to everyone.

Vinson did not know the woman in front of him.

“Pft-Some of the guests could not hold back their laughter

“I thought Mr. Nightshire was here to wish Shandie a happy birthday, but it turns out he doesn’t even

know who she is.”

“Hahaha! This is hilarious. If I were her, Td bury my whole body in the sands and never come back

out.”

At that moment, Shandie’s expression changed from delight to shock, then to embarrassment in the

end, she glared at the two laughing socialites Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

At the end of the day, Cindy was the quickest to recover She stepped forward and said, “Mr Nightshire,

we didn’t know you’d be coming today. What an honor for us to have you come it’s my daughter’s

birthday today, so she thought you were here to wish her a happy birthday. It seems like youre here to

discuss the business collaboration with Rick Hes upstails, so please come in

The mocking gazes from the guests instantly disappeared

It was also an honor to have Vinson go to this business partner’s place to discuss a deal

Yet, once again, in the next second

“Do know your

Cindy’s gesture of invitation froze midair.

Mr. Nightshire. doesn’t know me?

Once again, the guests were trying to hold themselves back from laughing.

Is the mother-and-daughter duo here for comedic purposes?

Cindy was internally cringing from the awkwardness.

If Vinson doesn’t know me, then who’s he here for?

All of a sudden, she recalled that the Arielle Moore that everyone looked down on had come out of

Vinson’s helicopter.

Arielle’s appearance had been too sudden and shocking, as she was in such a disheveled state. For a

long moment, she simply could not think that Vinson and Arielle might be connected.

Does Arielle know Vinson?

Right as that thought emerged in her mind, she saw Vinson walking past her toward Arielle.
