The person on the other end of the call somehow had mentioned something that made Cindy’s face fell.
After pondering for a few seconds, virtual-novel.net uttered, “Go ahead with the surgery then. Though Mom is old, virtual-novel.net body is still healthy and strong. I’m sure virtual-novel.net can make it through. Rick, no matter how much we have to spend, we must save Mom! But honestly, don’t you think Arielle is a jinx? We haven’t had peace ever since virtual-novel.net came. And now, something has happened to Mom-”
Before Cindy could finish virtual-novel.net words, virtual-novel.net face paled again.
Arielle supposed Henrick did not heed Cindy’s words and hung up the call straight away. Indeed, in the next second, virtual-novel.net saw Cindy put away virtual-novel.net phone while looking grimmer than before.
“Aunt Cindy,” Arielle muttered.
Hearing virtual-novel.net voice, Cindy instinctively turned around to look, only to coincidentally meet with the former’s cold gaze.
A hint of guilt flashed across Cindy’s face. She quickly washed virtual-novel.net herb tonic tea down with water and passed the glass to Larissa. “Your grandma is undergoing surgery soon. You better pray nothing happens to her. Otherwise, your dad will surely think you’re the jinx!”
Arielle did not comment on Cindy’s words and merely kept a solemn expression as virtual-novel.net instructed the housekeeper to make virtual-novel.net a bowl of pasta.
In fact, Malorie’s situation was within virtual-novel.net expectations.
Anyone with medical knowledge would know a fall could mean nothing for a young, yet extremely serious for an old.
Seeing the nonchalant Arielle, Cindy was brimming with anger. She appeared like virtual-novel.net wanted to say something but ended up returning to virtual-novel.net room without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Wendy had been observing the situation of Soir Coffee. She did not believe that Arielle would be able to save someone.
At that, virtual-novel.net was conflicted. She had hoped that the person would not survive, yet on the other hand, virtual-novel.net hoped that nothing would happen to Vinson’s café.
She had waited so long for classes to end so that virtual-novel.net could reach for virtual-novel.net phone to search for news regarding Soir Coffee.
A quick search led virtual-novel.net to an edited video of Soir Coffee’s press conference. Purple with rage as virtual-novel.net watched the video, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net fingers on the desk with so much force that marks were left behind.
It turned out that the victim was all well now and even appeared at the press conference as a witness.
Damn it!
“Wendy!” a girl called out to virtual-novel.net in the classroom. “Shall we head to the cafeteria for a meal together?”
“No,” Wendy’s face was grim. “I’ll give it a miss. You guys can go ahead.”
“Okay.”
In any case, the girl had no intentions of cottoning up to Wendy. She had only learned that Soir Coffee was framed after watching the news and thus felt ashamed for bad-mouthing Soir Coffee with the others earlier.
Upon hearing Wendy’s decline, the girl heaved a sigh of relief and pulled virtual-novel.net other friends along to the cafeteria.
As virtual-novel.net walked off, virtual-novel.net mumbled, “Wendy’s temper is so weird. Unlike her, Arielle is much better at virtual-novel.net studies and has a good attitude. But then again, why isn’t Arielle back?”
Another girl beside virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head. “I heard that someone in virtual-novel.net family just passed. But I think she’ll be back tomorrow.”
Coincidentally, Wendy happened to walk out of the classroom and overheard those words. A wave of resentment and hatred hit her.
Arielle! It’s virtual-novel.net again! Why is virtual-novel.net everywhere? Why can’t virtual-novel.net get out of my sight?
All virtual-novel.net hoped for was for Arielle to disappear from the world.
Her anger only crumbled into nothing when virtual-novel.net recalled virtual-novel.net mother’s words. The thought of Arielle getting virtual-novel.net deserved punishment instantly made virtual-novel.net feel better.

Late at night, Arielle finished virtual-novel.net pasta and did some work for Sann Group. She also gave instructions for the robotic pacemakers to be delivered within twenty hours.
The subordinates began execution upon receiving the command.
The production of Sann Group’s robotic pacemakers was in a count of ten devices for every batch each time. They were then packed and delivered to Rocher Private Hospital in Chanaea.
