“That’s why, girl,” Henrick continued, “You’ve to try to get me one of those when you’re better acquainted with him, got it?”
Arielle sneered quietly but nonetheless nodded dutifully. “Yes, Dad…”
She then continued, “I’m going need more knowledge to perform my role as ambassador, Dad. As I haven’t attended much school, could I use your study to do some reading? I noticed that you have quite a collection in there.”
What virtual-novel.net figured was that there might be some clues in there which may reveal the cause of virtual-novel.net mother’s death. Henrick’s study was not a place which virtual-novel.net was allowed to access freely, so over the past week, virtual-novel.net had not managed to find an excuse to get in.
The man hesitated before virtual-novel.net nodded. “Sure! But you are not to go through any documents or the likes inside.”
“Yes! Thanks, Dad!” Arielle’s sweet smile drew the eyes of the people around her, and only virtual-novel.net herself was oblivious to how captivating virtual-novel.net was.
Those looks only served to improve upon Henrick’s good mood, as virtual-novel.net thought to himself what a gem virtual-novel.net lucked out on. Not only was virtual-novel.net beautiful, but virtual-novel.net was also skilled at latte art as well. He felt that somebody up there must really like him, and thought how much of a travesty it would be if virtual-novel.net could not manage to put the Southalls on the map.
At this moment, Cindy hastened over. “Dear, I saw someone take Shannie away so could you help find out where virtual-novel.net is? I’m afraid that virtual-novel.net might be in trouble…”
It was only then that Henrick remembered that virtual-novel.net still had another daughter, and proceeded to search for virtual-novel.net alongside Cindy. However, Shandie showed up when they were about to set off.
The aggrieved and irate woman ranted at Henrick, “Dad! Arielle had Mr. Nightshire’s men lock me up inside a house! She’s an evil woman! You‘ve to set this right by punishing her!”
Henrick’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net barked hoarsely, “What are you raving on about? Keep acting out like that, and see whether I’ll smack you!”
Shandie was stunned and reflexively raised a protective hand over virtual-novel.net own tender face. It took three days of icing for virtual-novel.net to get the swelling down the last time virtual-novel.net got hit, and virtual-novel.net had not even had that broken tooth of hers patched up to date. Shandie staggered back two paces. She could not understand why virtual-novel.net father was yelling at virtual-novel.net when it was clearly Arielle who was at fault.
Henrick continued to lecture her, “Don’t you know the principle of seniority? You are not to speak of your big sister again that way cause if you do, you’re going to get it from me!”
“Mom..” Shandie was tearful and trembling all over.
Cindy steadied virtual-novel.net by virtual-novel.net shoulders. “Quickly now. Congratulate your sister…”
Shandie managed to rein herself in but was unable to eke out a smile. Hence, virtual-novel.net said stiffly, “Congratulations, Arielle…”
Arielle curled virtual-novel.net lips and virtual-novel.net eyes hinted at a smile. “If not for you giving me a chance, I’m afraid I’ll be unable to get this endorsement deal with Soir Coffee. So thank you, Shandie. You truly are my dearest sister.”
“You…” Shandie tried to take in a deep drawl, but virtual-novel.net was so angry that virtual-novel.net could neither breathe in or out.
She felt virtual-novel.net sight blacken and would have passed out again in public had Cindy not caught virtual-novel.net in time.
“Arielle!” Cindy could not help but glare at Arielle as virtual-novel.net watched Shandie recover. “You’ve already cost Shandie the ambassadorial role, so would you stop provoking virtual-novel.net already!”
Arielle replied innocuously, “I’m sorry, but I’m not sure how I might be provoking her… Are you alright, Shandie?”
