With a light sneer, Arielle simply nodded and boarded the MPV.
There was a change in the driver’s attitude. Henrick must have said something to him. Apparently, virtual-novel.net would only receive a decent treatment when virtual-novel.net played the role of a useful Sannie.
However, all these no longer mean anything to virtual-novel.net ever since virtual-novel.net found out that Henrick was not virtual-novel.net biological father. She looked up at the hotel from the car window and caught the curtains in virtual-novel.net room moved, as if someone was standing there, observing her.
Am I seeing things? It’s impossible that Vinson will want to see me off.
Retracting virtual-novel.net gaze, Arielle sank into deep thoughts again, trying to figure out a way to resolve all these problems virtual-novel.net faced. She was confident that the truth would be at virtual-novel.net fingertips as soon as virtual-novel.net had discovered about virtual-novel.net real identity.
Soon, they arrived at the Southall residence. Arielle did not get much sleep, except for the short time when virtual-novel.net was getting a drip.
In the manor, there were also two other people who stayed up all night. Upon receiving the news that Arielle had arrived, Henrick immediately went out of his study room and dashed downstairs. Meanwhile, Cindy got the news too.
“Is virtual-novel.net back?” Cindy could not believe what virtual-novel.net had heard.
The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, Mr. Southall is on his way to welcome her.”
“Welcome…” Cindy’s hands started to tremble.
If Henrick is welcoming Arielle personally, that means she’s successfully bonded with Vinson. It’d be much harder for me to tackle virtual-novel.net henceforth.
Feeling like a cat on hot bricks, Cindy paced back and forth after sending the housekeeper away.
She called Matthias and told virtual-novel.net all about Arielle.
“I told you so, but you didn’t believe me. Considering Arielle’s alluring look, who wouldn’t like getting entangled with her?” Matthias uttered with much annoyance.
Cindy shushed virtual-novel.net and retorted, “This isn’t the time to criticize me. Hurry up and think of a solution.”
Matthias replied, “What else is there to think about? Just go with the original plan. This might not be a bad thing, after all.”
“She’s with Vinson now. Is this not the worst thing that could have happened?”
“Don’t fret and listen to me. According to our initial plan, she’d be given a bad name at best. However, things have gotten more interesting now. If our plan goes well, the person that she’s betraying is Vinson. You and I know that the consequences are severe when one offends the Nightshires.”
Upon hearing that, Cindy became hopeful again. “Yes, you’re right! When Vinson blows a fuse, virtual-novel.net might take revenge on Henrick too. If the time is right, we can even seize the opportunity and defeat Henrick once and for all. Then, the Southall Group will be entirely ours.”
“When that time comes, Cin, you’ll be mine and mine only…”
Cindy simpered. “Yup. You’ll have to arrange this quickly and get the drug that you’ve been looking for as soon as possible.”
“All right.” She ended the phone call and headed downstairs happily to take a good look at Arielle.
The happier virtual-novel.net is now, the more dejected virtual-novel.net will become later. The difference between heaven and hell is mind-blowing.
Henrick was over the moon when virtual-novel.net saw Arielle. “Sannie, my darling daughter is back! Is everything okay?”
It’s a redundant question. Anyone could tell that everything went smoothly last night, judging from the time Arielle came home.
She smiled bashfully. “I… Guess so?”
