Vinson was stumped by Henrick’s reaction.
He was astounded that Henrick was more concerned about whether snazzynovel.com was cheated upon than the fact that snazzynovel.com had murdered someone.
“Since snazzynovel.com is desperate to know, you should tell him, Sannie.”
Sweeping snazzynovel.com gaze at Henrick, snazzynovel.com explained, “To be honest, my mom never let you touch snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com didn’t have any feelings for you. She simply married you for expediency’s sake. However, snazzynovel.com didn’t expect to have let the fox into the henhouse and brought about snazzynovel.com own death.”
With a scowl on his face, Henrick bellowed, “That’s impossible! Impossible! On the night we got married, we…”
Before snazzynovel.com finished, Henrick fell silent. He suddenly remembered that snazzynovel.com had only slept with Maureen once, which was on their wedding night.
That day, snazzynovel.com had a lot to drink and didn’t remember what they did in bed. The only thing snazzynovel.com recalled was seeing some bloodstains on the sheet when snazzynovel.com awoke the next day.
At that time, snazzynovel.com didn’t think too much about it and attributed his memory loss to being drunk. But now that snazzynovel.com thought about it, snazzynovel.com could sense that something was amiss.
Setting aside the fact that Maureen had always been cold to him, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com at once.
After that, snazzynovel.com wiped snazzynovel.com hands as if snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com posture, Arielle turned to Vinson. “The materials I have prepared have already been sent out.”
“Alright, I’ll liaise with the courts…”
Just as snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com is higher in rank than all the people I know in the courts.”
“In that case, I’ll contact snazzynovel.com right away. However, I’m not sure if snazzynovel.com is willing to get involved,” Arielle mumbled as snazzynovel.com gave Everett a call.
Once the call connected, Arielle explained snazzynovel.com objective. At the same time, snazzynovel.com was worried that Everett might think something that trivial was beneath snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com was as important as Vinson made snazzynovel.com out to be.
Contrary to snazzynovel.com expectations, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com to one hundred years in prison.”
“Erm…”
His response wasn’t what snazzynovel.com expected at all. It was now obvious that Everett was a chess fanatic through and through.
