“Dad! Dad, are you alright?” Yvette shook Russell violently, but the man remained still as though virtual-novel.net was dead.
Shocked, virtual-novel.net staggered backward. It took virtual-novel.net a while before virtual-novel.net mustered up virtual-novel.net courage to check Russell’s breath.
Two seconds later, Yvette’s face drained of color as virtual-novel.net murmured, “Dad’s dead.”
“What? Mr. Actonward is dead?”
“How did that happen? Did someone call for the ambulance?” The scene became chaotic.
Instantly, Shandie was pinned to the ground. “Murderer! You murdered Mr. Actonward!”
“Tie virtual-novel.net up and send virtual-novel.net to jail!” Yvette couldn’t be bothered to reprimand “Arielle” as virtual-novel.net was at a loss.
Her plan was to pull a prank on Arielle and accuse the latter of being rude. She didn’t expect virtual-novel.net father would end up dead.
This isn’t part of my plan! Why did this happen?
The Actonward family was a prominent family, but virtual-novel.net was the only daughter of virtual-novel.net parents. Her mother had passed away due to illness the year before, so if virtual-novel.net father ended up dead, the Actonward family would lose its pillar of support. Besides, the Baker family had just called off virtual-novel.net engagement. Hence, virtual-novel.net had nowhere else to go. Without virtual-novel.net father’s support, virtual-novel.net downfall would arrive soon.
Dejection and fury swamped virtual-novel.net instantly. Suddenly, Yvette felt like choking Arielle to death.
Yes! I shall kill Arielle as virtual-novel.net killed my father! I need to take revenge!
At that moment, Yvette had lost virtual-novel.net mind. Her rationality had deserted her. Right now, virtual-novel.net wanted to kill Arielle without caring that virtual-novel.net might need to serve a sentence for taking someone’s life.
As Yvette leaped to virtual-novel.net feet to seek revenge, a clear voice rang out amidst the chaos.
“Everyone, please make way. I know some first aid knowledge. The ambulance takes some time to get here, and time is precious. Let me take a look.”
Yvette was shocked to hear that voice.
Isn’t that Arielle? How dare virtual-novel.net offer to save my dad? She was the one who killed Dad!
Yvette whipped virtual-novel.net head around to glare at Arielle. When virtual-novel.net saw that Arielle was clad in a white evening gown instead of the black dress that virtual-novel.net prepared ahead, virtual-novel.net was dumbstruck.
Shouldn’t Arielle be wearing the black evening gown which I prepared for her? Why is virtual-novel.net wearing a white one? Wait. If Arielle is wearing white, who was the one in that black dress?
Yvette turned to stare at the girl clad in black, who was now surrounded by the crowd. The girl was cornered and tied up, but virtual-novel.net face was still visible.
Wait… Is that Shandie Southall? How could it be? I delivered the dress to Arielle! So Arielle wasn’t the one who killed Dad. It was… Shandie? No! That’s impossible! How could that be?
Yvette was still speechless as Arielle made virtual-novel.net way over. Arielle had arrived when Shandie just entered the hall, so virtual-novel.net saw everything that happened. Though virtual-novel.net was snickering inwardly, it was still a narrow escape for her. After all, if virtual-novel.net hadn’t thought of investigating Yvette’s family history, virtual-novel.net would be accused as the murderer now. And it wouldn’t be easy to remove the blame pinned on her.
