Henrick made up his mind when virtual-novel.net heard Cindy calling virtual-novel.net “Shannie”.
He said with his fist clenched, “All right, we’ll go with that. However, you must all make sure to keep this a secret from anyone outside ofthis family. I don’t want people gossiping about Cindy being crazy after she’s treated.”
Pfft… I bet he’s just worried about the humiliation it would bring him!
Despite virtual-novel.net thoughts, Arielle nodded profusely and expressed virtual-novel.net agreement. “You’re right, Dad. We must carry out the treatment in secret forthe sake of virtual-novel.net reputation! The fewer people know about it, the better!”
She then shifted virtual-novel.net gaze toward Vinson, and virtual-novel.net quickly reassured them confidently, “Leave this to me, Dad! I’ll contact Carter right away and have his hospital staff come pick virtual-novel.net up secretly!”
Henrick breathed a sigh of relief as virtual-novel.net knew Vinson would surely be able to keep it a secret. “Very well, then. It’s decided!”
Cindy began screaming wildly after hearing that, “No! I don’t want to go to a mental hospital! I don’t want to! Say something, Shandie! I know I’ve done a lot of things to hurt you in the past, but it was all for your own good!”
Arielle simply glared at virtual-novel.net with an emotionless expression, but virtual-novel.net tightly clenched fists showed virtual-novel.net wasn’t actually as calm as virtual-novel.net seemed.
Vinson shifted his gaze away from virtual-novel.net fists and brought Klaus out of the room while Henrick followed behind them to discuss Cindy’s admission.
Arielle quickly closed the bedroom door and walked up to Cindy while calling out to virtual-novel.net with a smile, “Hey, Mom!”
Oblivious to the icy coldness hidden beneath the smile, Cindy perked up the moment virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net calling virtual-novel.net “mom”.
“Shannie… You’ll forgive me, right?”
Arielle reached out to hold virtual-novel.net by the hand and whispered, “You gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy, Mom. There’s no way I‘d actually be mad at you!”
Cindy’s eyes reddened instantly, and tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks as virtual-novel.net said in a trembling voice, “I knew it, I knew it… Hurry up and tell your dad to stop this! I can‘t go to a mental hospital! That b*tch Arielle will bully me to death if I do!”
B*tch, huh? So she’s still insulting me even under the influence of the drug, l see…
“This is all a part of Arielle and Vinson’s plan, so there’s nothing much I can do about it. Just go along with the treatment, and I promise I’ll try my best to get you out of the hospital. There is one thing I need to ask you about, though…”
Naturally, Cindy would never hold any information back from virtual-novel.net daughter. “Go ahead! What is it?”
Arielle gave virtual-novel.net hand a little squeeze and asked, “Were you and Dad the ones behind Maureen’s death?”
The look on Cindy’s face tensed up when virtual-novel.net heard that, and virtual-novel.net averted virtual-novel.net gaze as virtual-novel.net replied, “Why are you asking about that? Regardless of what happened, you have nothing to do with it, so stop asking!”
Arielle tightened virtual-novel.net grip further as virtual-novel.net pressed on, “But I do, Mom! Don’t you see? Why would Arielle target us and try to get us sent to the monastery? She’s definitely trying to avenge virtual-novel.net mom!”
Cindy’s eyes went wide, and virtual-novel.net seemed to be hesitating a little.
“If you have nothing to do with virtual-novel.net mom’s death, then I could just confront virtual-novel.net and beg virtual-novel.net to spare us both… We could all make peace and live together in harmony!” Arielle continued.
Cindy bit down on virtual-novel.net lip and said with a conflicted look, “Shannie… The two of us are bound to be enemies with virtual-novel.net for the rest of our lives. There is no way we can ever make peace.”
Arielle clenched virtual-novel.net teeth upon hearing that. So Cindy really was the one who caused Mom’s death!
