Matthias was so anxious that virtual-novel.net could die. If virtual-novel.net knew what happened back then, virtual-novel.net would have told Arielle everything in Cindy‘s place.
Biting virtual-novel.net lower lip, Cindy looked at virtual-novel.net lover with bloodshot eyes. “You think I don‘t know how bad things look for us right now? But I just can‘t do it.”
If I tell Arielle the truth, I‘ll spend the rest of my life in prison. Even if virtual-novel.net decides to let me go, those guys will come knocking. I don‘t really have a choice here.
Arielle shrugged in response. “I guess you two couldn‘t come to an agreement, huh? Then I have no choice but to send Cindy back to the pigsty.”
“No! Please don‘t!” Cindy could feel virtual-novel.net stomach turning when virtual-novel.net remembered how the rats and cockroaches crawled over virtual-novel.net face in the sty.
What followed was the sound of Cindy vomiting virtual-novel.net guts out.
“Please, Cin. Just tell Arielle what virtual-novel.net needs to hear. Staying in prison is a hundred times better than rotting away in this godforsaken place!” begged Matthias, who was already drenched in sweat.
“But…” Cindy knew that virtual-novel.net life would be ruined if virtual-novel.net was sent to jail.
“Think about it, Cin! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in the pigsty? Living your life like a pig?”
After a moment of internal conflict, Cindy finally gave in. “I‘ll do it! I‘ll tell you everything you want to know. Just don‘t send me back to that disgusting hole!”
“You have my word. Now start talking,” demanded Arielle after pulling up a chair.
One of the bodyguards then kicked Cindy behind the knee and forced virtual-novel.net to kneel before Arielle.
With virtual-novel.net teeth clenched, Cindy started revealing the truth to the woman.
“Back then, Maureen was both beautiful and brilliant. She had lifted our family to new heights single handedly. As for me, virtual-novel.net sister, I had always lived in virtual-novel.net shadow. I became invisible to everyone whenever virtual-novel.net was around. Heck, many people didn‘t even know that I existed because that was just how overshadowed I was by your mother. I hated it. I hated it so much!”
“So, I decided to get back at virtual-novel.net by ruining virtual-novel.net relationship with Henrick. That coward was terrified that your mother would find out about virtual-novel.net and me, but I was dying to let virtual-novel.net know the truth. I wanted to see how virtual-novel.net would react after finding out that virtual-novel.net husband had slept with me, so I texted virtual-novel.net and told virtual-novel.net everything.”
“You told my mother the truth yourself? inquired Arielle curiously.
“Yes,” answered Cindy with a bitter smile and eyes full of regret. “However, I never expected virtual-novel.net to give. Henrick and me virtual-novel.net blessings after hearing about our affair. That crazy woman even divorced Henrick just so I could be with him.”
“You don‘t deserve a sister like her. How could you hurt someone who had been nothing but kind to you?” Vinson scowled frustratingly at the woman kneeling before Arielle.
“Kind to me?” asked Cindy rhetorically before cackling in disbelief. “Do you actually think that was what I wanted? Her kindness? The only reason I slept with Henrick was just so that I could get back at her. Unfortunately, it turned out that virtual-novel.net never cared for the man at all. Henrick was worthless to her. Your mother gave me a worthless man! Is that what you consider kindness?”
Vinson shook his head. “You were too blinded by your jealousy and hatred toward your sister. You‘re never going to be satisfied with whatever virtual-novel.net did for you.”
“You think you know me so well, don‘t you?”
“Go on. Tell me how you killed my mother,” instructed Arielle coldly.
After chuckling to herself, Cindy continued, “I knew something was off. Someone as proud as Maureen would never let me have the man virtual-novel.net loved. That woman didn‘t even flinch when virtual-novel.net divorced Henrick. So, I started digging, and as expected, I found out that virtual-novel.net was looking for a man. I was sure that was the man whom virtual-novel.net heart belonged to, so I tried to expose her.”
“And?”
