Arielle nodded as snazzynovel.com knew Larissa was speaking all the truth snazzynovel.com knew.
“Alright, that’s all for today. Tell me again if you remember anything.”
“Okay. Is there anything else you want me to do?”
Arielle shook snazzynovel.com head. “Not for the moment. I’ll find you if I need you. You continue to work for Aunt Cindy and don’t let snazzynovel.com suspect anything. One more thing, please prepare a list for me. I want to know who is on snazzynovel.com side in this house.”
“Understood, Ms. Arielle. Then I’ll excuse myself.” Larissa bowed gratefully to Arielle and left with the flight tickets and the name card.
After Larissa left, Arielle sat alone in the room, pondering for a long while. After snazzynovel.com cleared snazzynovel.com thoughts, snazzynovel.com took out snazzynovel.com phone to check snazzynovel.com messages.
She saw a brief, straightforward message from Vinson, “Come over when you’re free and help us to locate the man.”
Without wasting any time, Arielle turned on snazzynovel.com computer and started pinpointing the location. She tried snazzynovel.com best to narrow down the scope. Even so, there were still quite a few private islands that matched the search.
***
By the time Arielle sent the location, Cindy had also just arrived at the monastery entrance.
Just when snazzynovel.com got off snazzynovel.com car, Louisa walked out with a cold expression and said rudely, “Are you guys treating here as a motel?”
Cindy let out an unnatural smile and greeted her, “Hello, Louisa.”
Louisa’s stare was still cold. “We have a lot of pilgrims at the moment, and we have not enough rooms. So you’ll stay in the same room with me.”
Upon hearing that, Cindy’s expression stiffened. “How could I interrupt your meditation? I’ll stay with Shannie.”
“Shannie?” Louisa smiled awkwardly. “I’ve asked snazzynovel.com about that, but she’s reluctant to stay with you.”
Cindy lifted snazzynovel.com head in awe. “That’s impossible.”
“Feel free to ask snazzynovel.com yourself,” Louisa said indifferently while heading into the monastery.
Later, Cindy asked for directions along the way and finally found Shandie, who was chopping the wood up. From afar, snazzynovel.com could see clearly that Shandie’s face had turned pale and tired compared to a few days before. She was heartbroken as snazzynovel.com stepped forward to grab the ax in Shandie’s hand.
“Why’re you doing such harsh work? Look at your skin!”
Shandie snatched back the ax coldly, without even looking at Cindy. “You’ll need to do it starting from tomorrow until Dad decides to fetch us back home.”
Both of them were in total blind that Arielle had blocked all their letters. That explained why Shandie acted so cold towards Cindy, as snazzynovel.com thought the latter had been ignoring all snazzynovel.com letters.
Disappointed by Cindy, Shandie felt that snazzynovel.com could only count on herself.
The main priority within these walls was not how to protect snazzynovel.com skin but to please Louisa in order not to starve.
Cindy noticed Shandie’s peculiar behavior towards her. “Shannie, is this how you speak to your own mother?”
Shandie cast a resentful smile. “Mother? Do you think you deserve that title? Don’t think I’m a fool. I know that you’re with another man beside Dad.”
“You… What’s wrong with you? Are you trying to piss me off?”
Exasperated by those words, Cindy uncontrollably threw a slap on Shandie’s face. A loud smack was heard.
Dumbfounded, Shandie covered snazzynovel.com face with both hands. With that, Shandie’s gaze turned extremely malicious. She even started to suspect if snazzynovel.com was really Cindy’s birth daughter.
