Cindy tried snazzynovel.com best to control snazzynovel.com emotions. However, snazzynovel.com could not stop snazzynovel.com lips from curling and widening into a bright smile.
In contrast, Arielle did not respond. Neither did snazzynovel.com ask for a reason. All snazzynovel.com did was quietly study the expression on Henrick’s face, which was as cold as ice.
Seems like snazzynovel.com has decided.
She was aware that everything snazzynovel.com did now would be meaningless even if snazzynovel.com actually knelt. As such, there was no need for snazzynovel.com to go to such an extent.
Perhaps leaving the Southall residence is a good choice too. At least I won’t have to put on a pretense anymore. I can now put my attention on preparing schemes against Henrick.
As for Cindy, Arielle was not at all worried either. She had long forged good relationships with the people in the manor. Thus, it did not matter whether snazzynovel.com was physically staying there or not.
Arielle calmly nodded, “I got it, Dad. Mr. Southall, I mean…”
Henrick’s face froze when snazzynovel.com heard Arielle’s greeting for him. He was shocked and uneasy about how calm snazzynovel.com was, especially since snazzynovel.com did not even try to plead.
Nevertheless, snazzynovel.com did not regret making that decision. To him, his life was much more important than money. That was how snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com should not let Arielle stay any longer.
Henrick sighed as a surge of complex emotions flooded him. “You can continue staying here for now. It’s late, that’s all for today.”
Without raising any concerns, Arielle only looked deeply at Henrick with snazzynovel.com clear eyes. After that, snazzynovel.com trotted back to snazzynovel.com room upstairs.
Watching Arielle disappear within snazzynovel.com sight, Cindy secretly snickered. She then walked up to Henrick and wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around that of his, and said, “It’s late, Rick. We should take a rest now. Mom’s surgery’s tomorrow. I’ll accompany you to the hospital.”
“There’s no need to,” Henrick shook his head in disagreement. “Rest well at home and take care of the baby in your belly. I’ll go alone.”
Knowing how Henrick was concerned about the baby, Cindy did not insist on it. She gave a simple acknowledgment and followed snazzynovel.com back to their room while suppressing the immense happiness within her.
Back at the living room, one housekeeper could not contain snazzynovel.com curiosity and whispered to Larissa, “Should we find another backer since Ms. Arielle has already gotten kicked out of this house? With the pregnancy of Mrs. Nightshire, she’ll gain a stronger status in this house in time to come. We should find a reliable backer if we want to continue working here. Or else we might get fired anytime with how unpredictable Mr. Southall is.”
Larissa was exasperated. “Hey, you guys are belittling Ms. Arielle, huh? Just wait, I’m sure snazzynovel.com has a solution to this.”
“What can snazzynovel.com possibly do? She’ll soon have to leave this place…”
“Even if you don’t believe Ms. Arielle, you should have some trust in me. If all of you go to Mrs. Nightshire now, she’ll know you guys aren’t on snazzynovel.com side before this. With the way snazzynovel.com handles things, do you think snazzynovel.com will trust all of you?”
Hearing that, several housekeepers fell into deep thoughts. They ultimately decided to continue standing with Arielle.
In truth, the housekeepers knew very well how merciless Cindy was. Moreover, they had received more from Arielle than the former. Beyond that, there was a unique yet attractive aura exuding from Arielle. That alone allowed snazzynovel.com to gain the trust of the others effortlessly.
Meanwhile, Arielle sat on the couch for a long while after returning to snazzynovel.com bedroom.
She was clear snazzynovel.com had been abandoned by Henrick, despite not knowing the exact reason snazzynovel.com did so. She could only attribute it to Malorie’s fall.
Putting aside those thoughts, snazzynovel.com then began thinking about the plans snazzynovel.com had in mind.
***
Soon, the next day arrived.
Arielle took another half day off to settle matters regarding the household registry.
Donovan did not say much and only reminded snazzynovel.com to be punctual for classes in the afternoon.
In no time, snazzynovel.com had finished settling the household registry. She stepped out of the registry office, no longer having any forms of tangible or intangible ties with the Southalls.
That also meant snazzynovel.com could be as ruthless as snazzynovel.com wanted with the revenge.
