Cindy closed snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com had a fiancée already, and snazzynovel.com didn‘t want snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com joined us.”
Arielle narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes. “What happened next?”
Cindy reminisced and said, “It was one bright sunny day. Henrick agreed to divorce her, but snazzynovel.com wished snazzynovel.com would give us snazzynovel.com blessings. We invited snazzynovel.com for a meal in a hotel, and snazzynovel.com agreed to come.”
Vinson said coldly, “I guess snazzynovel.com didn‘t know it was a trap.”
Cindy sneered. “You’re right. She came without snazzynovel.com bodyguards. I guess snazzynovel.com didn’t want the public to know. She brought over the household registry with her, perhaps snazzynovel.com wanted to divorce snazzynovel.com right after the meal. Henrick and I drugged snazzynovel.com food, but snazzynovel.com somehow figured that out, and snazzynovel.com defeated all my subordinates before making snazzynovel.com escape…”.
Arielle clenched snazzynovel.com fists tightly, suppressing snazzynovel.com urge to strangle Cindy.
Cindy continued saying, “She was an idiot. She could have survived if snazzynovel.com ran away and disappeared. But instead, snazzynovel.com returned to the manor to look for you. Fortunately, the old woman arrived in time with snazzynovel.com subordinates at the manor.”
Speaking of this, a hint of terror flashed across in Cindy‘s expression as if snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com down right away. The old woman then suggested faking snazzynovel.com suicide. She helped Henrick and me to move Maureen back to Jadeborough. They made us push snazzynovel.com down from the thirty-eighth floor.”
Arielle was trembling upon hearing that.
Poor Mom!
Cindy was already losing it at this point. She raised snazzynovel.com chin at Cindy. “Do you want to know what snazzynovel.com said before they pushed snazzynovel.com down?”
“What?”
“She told us to… Spare your life.”
Arielle‘s eyes reddened as a tear rolled down snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com by killing you, and that was why I found someone else to kidnap you instead.”
Cindy then shook snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com didn’t make a police report, nor did snazzynovel.com take revenge on me. Perhaps snazzynovel.com wanted to get rid of you as well.”
She seemed to be enjoying Arielle‘s expression as snazzynovel.com continued saying with a sympathetic expression, “How pity… Your mom died, and your dad wished snazzynovel.com could have died with snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com surprise, Arielle curled snazzynovel.com 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.”
