Vinson was stumped by Henrick’s reaction.
He was astounded that Henrick was more concerned about whether virtual-novel.net was cheated upon than the fact that virtual-novel.net had murdered someone.
“Since virtual-novel.net is desperate to know, you should tell him, Sannie.”
Sweeping virtual-novel.net gaze at Henrick, virtual-novel.net explained, “To be honest, my mom never let you touch virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net didn’t have any feelings for you. She simply married you for expediency’s sake. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect to have let the fox into the henhouse and brought about virtual-novel.net own death.”
With a scowl on his face, Henrick bellowed, “That’s impossible! Impossible! On the night we got married, we…”
Before virtual-novel.net finished, Henrick fell silent. He suddenly remembered that virtual-novel.net had only slept with Maureen once, which was on their wedding night.
That day, virtual-novel.net had a lot to drink and didn’t remember what they did in bed. The only thing virtual-novel.net recalled was seeing some bloodstains on the sheet when virtual-novel.net awoke the next day.
At that time, virtual-novel.net didn’t think too much about it and attributed his memory loss to being drunk. But now that virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net could sense that something was amiss.
Setting aside the fact that Maureen had always been cold to him, virtual-novel.net realized that it didn’t make sense for a married couple to have only made love once.
Evidently, Arielle isn‘t my daughter, and I have raised someone else‘s child all this while!
As rage swelled within him, Henrick screamed with his bloodshot eyes, “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
“Please don’t get confused.” Leaning into Henrick, Arielle coldly remarked, “You are now on the chopping block, while I’m the one holding the knife. The one in control right now isn’t you. Henrick, tell me, how should I torment you to death? Should I chop off your legs first or your hands? Let me think….
Since you used those hands to push my mom…”
“No, no…” Seized by fear eventually, Henrick yelled, “Murder is a crime! Don’t you dare openly do this to me!”
Arielle slapped virtual-novel.net at once.
After that, virtual-novel.net wiped virtual-novel.net hands as if virtual-novel.net had touched something filthy. “Don’t worry, just like how you treated Cindy, I too won’t let you die easily. That would be letting you off too lightly. We will settle the score one by one, starting with the villagers…”
Straightening virtual-novel.net posture, Arielle turned to Vinson. “The materials I have prepared have already been sent out.”
“Alright, I’ll liaise with the courts…”
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Vinson suddenly thought of someone. He reminded Arielle, “Sannie, if you want to take the legal route, why don’t you contact your grand-disciple?”
“Grand-disciple?” Momentarily surprised, Arielle asked, “Do you mean Ev? The old chess fanatic’s student?”
“Mmm-hmm. Mr. Eakins has just been promoted two months ago. I’m afraid virtual-novel.net is higher in rank than all the people I know in the courts.”
“In that case, I’ll contact virtual-novel.net right away. However, I’m not sure if virtual-novel.net is willing to get involved,” Arielle mumbled as virtual-novel.net gave Everett a call.
Once the call connected, Arielle explained virtual-novel.net objective. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was worried that Everett might think something that trivial was beneath virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net was as important as Vinson made virtual-novel.net out to be.
Contrary to virtual-novel.net expectations, virtual-novel.net heard Everett’s enthusiastic reply. “Yes, Grandmaster! Your problems are mine too. I will resolve them to the best of my abilities. Send me all the details, and I’ll sentence virtual-novel.net to one hundred years in prison.”
“Erm…”
His response wasn’t what virtual-novel.net expected at all. It was now obvious that Everett was a chess fanatic through and through.
