Arielle was perplexed as she looked down at the room key Henrick had shoved into her hand. All the pity and sadness she had felt earlier disappeared in an instant, leaving her in stunned silence.
When Arielle still didn’t say anything, Henrick thought she had gone into shock. “Sannie, being innocent and naive isn’t a bad thing, but that’d only work if you were still living in the countryside. Now that you’re in Jadeborough, you have to learn our ways, no matter how underhanded they might seem. There are times when making sacrifices is necessary.”
Arielle’s face had gone pale as she mumbled, “Are you telling me to use this room key to get into Vinson’s bed?”
Henrick wrinkled his nose as if Arielle had offended him. “It’s not as bad as it sounds, Sannie. Once you’ve gotten together with Mr. Nightshire, you’d officially be part of their family and the Nightshire Group. Imagine the fame and fortune you’d have! Not only is this for our family, but it’s also for your future. Marrying into the Nightshires is something many people won’t even dare to think about, and now, you have the chance to that life!”
Arielle felt nothing but a lump in her throat.
