Cindy closed virtual-novel.net eyes and took a deep breath. “I managed to contact some people. Their leader was a graceful old woman, who also seems to be his elder. She said that virtual-novel.net had a fiancée already, and virtual-novel.net didn‘t want virtual-novel.net and Maureen to be involved with each other anymore. We were on the same page about getting rid of Maureen, and then we told Henrick about this. He couldn‘t stand Maureen‘s arrogance as well. That was why virtual-novel.net joined us.”
Arielle narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes. “What happened next?”
Cindy reminisced and said, “It was one bright sunny day. Henrick agreed to divorce her, but virtual-novel.net wished virtual-novel.net would give us virtual-novel.net blessings. We invited virtual-novel.net for a meal in a hotel, and virtual-novel.net agreed to come.”
Vinson said coldly, “I guess virtual-novel.net didn‘t know it was a trap.”
Cindy sneered. “You’re right. She came without virtual-novel.net bodyguards. I guess virtual-novel.net didn’t want the public to know. She brought over the household registry with her, perhaps virtual-novel.net wanted to divorce virtual-novel.net right after the meal. Henrick and I drugged virtual-novel.net food, but virtual-novel.net somehow figured that out, and virtual-novel.net defeated all my subordinates before making virtual-novel.net escape…”.
Arielle clenched virtual-novel.net fists tightly, suppressing virtual-novel.net urge to strangle Cindy.
Cindy continued saying, “She was an idiot. She could have survived if virtual-novel.net ran away and disappeared. But instead, virtual-novel.net returned to the manor to look for you. Fortunately, the old woman arrived in time with virtual-novel.net subordinates at the manor.”
Speaking of this, a hint of terror flashed across in Cindy‘s expression as if virtual-novel.net had thought of something scary.
“Keep talking!” Arielle urged.
Cindy‘s lips curled into a mocking smile. “She was not their opponent at all. They took virtual-novel.net down right away. The old woman then suggested faking virtual-novel.net suicide. She helped Henrick and me to move Maureen back to Jadeborough. They made us push virtual-novel.net down from the thirty-eighth floor.”
Arielle was trembling upon hearing that.
Poor Mom!
Cindy was already losing it at this point. She raised virtual-novel.net chin at Cindy. “Do you want to know what virtual-novel.net said before they pushed virtual-novel.net down?”
“What?”
“She told us to… Spare your life.”
Arielle‘s eyes reddened as a tear rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Cindy laughed wildly at the sight of Arielle crying. “Henrick pitied her. He told us not to kill you, saying that you‘re his daughter after all. But then, how could I let you get away with this? I didn’t want to alert virtual-novel.net by killing you, and that was why I found someone else to kidnap you instead.”
Cindy then shook virtual-novel.net head and continued saying, “Now that I think of it, I should‘ve just killed you instead. I’m sure Henrick suspected me of kidnapping you, but virtual-novel.net didn’t make a police report, nor did virtual-novel.net take revenge on me. Perhaps virtual-novel.net wanted to get rid of you as well.”
She seemed to be enjoying Arielle‘s expression as virtual-novel.net continued saying with a sympathetic expression, “How pity… Your mom died, and your dad wished virtual-novel.net could have died with virtual-novel.net too. You’re still alive but your family doesn‘t even care for you. What a pity…”
Cindy was waiting for Arielle to react with either an angry or a heartbroken expression.
To virtual-novel.net surprise, Arielle curled virtual-novel.net lips and slowly formed a smile.
Cindy‘s face fell. “What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh after hearing this?”
“Because you‘re an idiot.”
