SPOILED GIRL, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 14

But what if your father asks about this?” The subordinate was a little surprised. Since Darren had faced defeat at the hands of David last time, their father had grounded Darren in case he would do something to harm David.

“Who do you think you are? You seem to care a lot about me, huh? It is none of your business!” Darren suddenly picked up the wine glass from the table and hurled it at his subordinate.

The wine dripped from his subordinate’s face while the glass shattered into pieces as soon as it hit the ground. But the subordinate neither dared to raise his head nor wipe away the wine on his face.

“Yes, sir. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I will do exactly as you have said right now,” he answered gingerly.

Then, he quickly turned around to leave this terrible and dangerous room.

Darren picked up the serviette from his lap, then wiped away the wine from his fingers elegantly while a vicious smirk formed in the corners of his mouth.

At David’s house.

Ariel walked out of Nora’s room with a straight face after Nora settled down. David had installed many security cameras all over the house. As a secret agent, Ariel was very sensitive to these hidden cameras, so she was very careful about her actions during this time. The reason for Rita’s hallucination could be attributed to Ariel, because she used some kind of potion to water the flowers in the garden, and that potion could cause mental disorders.

According to Darren’s request, her next step was to set a camera in David’s study.

However, David’s study was forbidden for everyone and there were so many cameras in his study that it would be impossible for Ariel to sneak in without raising a few red flags.

If Ariel wanted to install a camera without exposing herself, she would have to use Rita as an excuse.

Although Ariel disliked, or even hated, Rita, she still decided to get close to her. Ariel quickly followed her instincts without hesitation as she walked up the stairs towards the second floor.

When she ran into David, Ariel quickly made way for him and bowed down to greet him. “Good day, Mr. David.”

“Good day to you too. What are you holding?” asked David.

“It is soup for ma’am because she has been drinking this for some time,” Ariel explained herself.

“Come here and let me have a look.” David quickly took out a silver needle from his pocket and stuck it into the soup without even waiting for Ariel’s answer.

The world around Ariel suddenly fell silent and it was almost as if she could hear her own heart beating inside her chest.

Moments later, David drew back the needle and felt relieved to see that the needle did not change color. Finally, he waved his hand towards Ariel to signal her to go.

Just as David took two steps forward, he suddenly stopped and asked again, “Who are you? I do not think that I have seen you here before.”

The cold voice from behind sent shivers down Ariel’s back. Ariel could even feel David’s cold eyes staring at her from behind. Ariel hid all her nervous emotions and turned around slowly. She looked at David’s eyes nonchalantly and with a humble voice, said, “Mr. David, I was transferred here from the garden several days ago. I have been working here for over two months now.”

Two months ago, David had still been in the hospital, so it was not odd that he had never seen Ariel before.

David nodded his head with a straight face and decided to check it with Stuart later.

As soon as David left, Ariel felt relieved and she left the hall as quickly as she could.

It was true that Ariel had come to David’s house two months ago. Three months ago, Ariel had received an order to help Darren get back the Xu Consortium.

Ariel had been hiding in David’s house for a long time but she had not gotten the chance to serve inside the villa until now. Recently, the former maid had had some personal issues to deal with, which was why Ariel had finally found the chance to work inside.

Darren kept on pushing Ariel very hard, so she wanted to deal with Rita as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, Ariel came to Rita’s door. She pushed open the door gently and saw Rita’s weak face under the dim yellow light. From where Ariel was standing, it looked as though Rita was carefully looking at a picture in her hand.

Ariel’s heart was filled with resentment, but she hid all her emotions and lowered her voice. “Ma’am, I have brought you some soup.”

However, Rita seemed too immersed in the picture as she remained silent and ran her fingers over the girl’s face in the picture.

“Ma’am, your soup is ready.” Ariel moved closer to Rita and slightly turned her head to see the picture.

It was a family photo. There were four people in it, a couple and two girls. The elder girl was about 8 or 9 years old and the younger one was no more than 3 years old.

Ariel concluded that it must be Rita’s family photo.

Ariel’s heart was beating hard and her hands were trembling as she struggled to hold the bowl of soup. She tried her best to hide all her emotions and asked, “Ma’am, the girls in the picture are so cute. Who are they?”

Ariel should have left right after she put down the bowl of soup. However, her feet had their own plans and her mouth was blurting out words without her consent.

Rita finally came back from her reverie as she smiled and answered, “The elder one is me and the younger one is my sister… My sister is really cute, you know.

When we were kids, she always liked to follow me around everywhere and at night, she would only go to sleep when I held her in my arms.”

Rita’s eyes displayed kindness and affection as she stared at the picture and spoke about the people in it.

Ariel felt a sharp pain flash through her heart, but soon, it turned into malice as she thought that none of Rita’s words were true and that it was Rita who had sent her away to become a secret agent.
‘Are you seeking redemption by telling me these hypocritical lies?’ Ariel asked in her mind.

However, Ariel had another question in her mind. “Ma’am, how come not many people know about your younger sister?”
Rita’s eyes were full of tears, even though she was trying her best not to cry. Rita bit her lip and slowly lowered her head. Her long hair hid her pale face so that Ariel could not see her expression.

“Ma’am? What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” asked Ariel.

She looked at Rita with puzzlement and her fine, delicate face was full of concern. However, if one looked at her carefully, they would notice that Ariel’s eyes were glowing with joy.

“I’m okay.” Rita kept her head lowered and waved her hand at Ariel.

Rita always managed to put on a tough act in front of people and this was the first time she had lost control of her emotions in front of someone else apart from David.

“Ma’am, please take good care of yourself. You are pregnant now.” Ariel sneered and looked ironically at Rita’s hands which were holding the picture.

“Yes, I know…” Rita nodded her head and continued in a low voice, “It is late now. You may leave to have a rest. I will have the soup later.”

Ariel bent down to put the quilt over Rita and stuck the tiny wiretap into the bedside.

“Yes, ma’am,” she answered.

The cold voice echoed in the room as Ariel turned to leave. Her straight back and the two pigtails looked so mismatched.

When Rita looked at Ariel from behind, something about Ariel jogged Rita’s memories.

“Michelle…” Rita called out subconsciously, but Ariel did not seem to hear her and closed the door.

“Michelle… Where are you?

Michelle… My dear Michelle…”

Rita’s groaning was so clear in the tranquil night. Listening in through the wiretap, Ariel felt as if something was stabbing at her heart and even her breathing seemed unsteady. Rita’s sobbing was haunting Ariel’s mind and her thoughts.

After a long time, Ariel finally lay in her bed with a straight face as Rita’s voice became lower and lower. ‘She is nothing but a hypocritical and evil woman! She does not deserve my affection!’ Ariel thought to herself.
