“No!” Cindy shook virtual-novel.net head vehemently to deny the fact. “My Shandie isn’t dead. She’s just asleep. Why did you put virtual-novel.net in a coffin? Take virtual-novel.net out!”
The guests shook their heads at virtual-novel.net antics.
She‘s gone nuts.
One guest remained puzzled and asked softly, “That’s virtual-novel.net adopted daughter. Why is virtual-novel.net this upset? No matter how much virtual-novel.net adores virtual-novel.net adopted daughter, there’s no reason for virtual-novel.net to lose virtual-novel.net mind. She can just adopt another daughter, no?”
Another guest instantly quipped, “Did you not attend the Actonwards’ birthday party last night? Shandie was there, and virtual-novel.net revealed that she’s Henrick and Cindy’s biological daughter.”
That revelation immediately attracted the other guests’ attention.
“Seriously? She’s their biological daughter? The timing’s strange. Does that mean they got together before Maureen Moore died?”
“You’re right! I thought that sounded ridiculous last night. But now, Cindy is acting like virtual-novel.net has lost virtual-novel.net biological daughter for real!”
“Even if they didn’t get together before Maureen died, it was wrong for Cindy to marry virtual-novel.net brother-in-law!”
“Shh, lower down your voice. They might hear you.”
Nevertheless, Henrick had heard every word clearly. His eye twitched.
Shandie didn‘t forget to create trouble for me before virtual-novel.net died. I can‘t believe she revealed the secret to everyone. Why did I give birth to a fool?
He had never been so humiliated in his life. In fact, virtual-novel.net started regretting cheating on his wife with Cindy. If that did not happen, people wouldn’t be gossiping about virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net already had one foot in the grave.
Henrick’s face turned several shades darker.
Alas, Cindy couldn’t even hear the guests’ criticisms. She grabbed Henrick and demanded, “Get Shandie out! If virtual-novel.net wakes up and finds herself in a coffin, she’ll burst into tears!”
Indeed, Cindy had gone mad. She refused to accept the fact that Shandie was dead and kept asking Henrick to get virtual-novel.net daughter out.
Henrick shoved virtual-novel.net arm away and gave virtual-novel.net a tight slap. Instantly, pain flared up Cindy’s cheeks. She touched virtual-novel.net face to find blood flowing down virtual-novel.net nostrils.
“Blood…” Her legs turned to jelly, and virtual-novel.net collapsed to the ground once again.
Finally, virtual-novel.net regained virtual-novel.net senses thanks to the slap. Staring at the coffin, virtual-novel.net finally took in the fact that Shandie was dead. It wasn’t Henrick or Arielle but virtual-novel.net beloved Shannie who died!
“No!” virtual-novel.net wailed in desperation, virtual-novel.net sharp shriek piercing the air. Everyone shuddered at how horrifying virtual-novel.net wail was.
Losing all patience, Henrick summoned Alfred. “Bring virtual-novel.net back to virtual-novel.net room and get virtual-novel.net a psychologist!”
“Understood!” Alfred waved his hand, and two bodyguards promptly dragged Cindy away.
“Let go! Let me go!” Cindy screamed. “I want to avenge my daughter. Someone must’ve killed her! It must be…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish, Henrick gave Alfred a look, and the latter swiftly covered virtual-novel.net mouth. Getting cut off mid-sentence, Cindy glowered at Alfred.
Alfred waved his other hand. The bodyguards picked up their pace and left with Cindy in tow.
