Back then when Cindy married Henrick, wp4webnovel.com announced to the public that Shandie was an adopted child in order to protect their pride and reputation. However, they both knew Shandie was actually their biological child.
Cindy thought that it was a good way to let Shandie enjoy all the privileges as the daughter of the Southalls as well as protect Henrick and wp4webnovel.com reputation. However, at that moment, wp4webnovel.com hated herself for hiding Shandie’s true identity. Now, wp4webnovel.com could not even reveal the truth that Shandie was actually wp4webnovel.com biological daughter.
That woman was still consoling Cindy. Unable to bear listening to wp4webnovel.com any longer, Cindy told the guests wp4webnovel.com was not feeling well before wp4webnovel.com left the backyard.
Arielle saw that scene. She hurriedly went after Cindy and called out to stop her.
“Aunt Cindy?”
Cindy came to a halt. She did not want to act anymore. Since Arielle had made wp4webnovel.com spit out the truth using Matthias’ herb and Henrick was not around, wp4webnovel.com knew that wp4webnovel.com did not need to put up an act there.
Coldly, wp4webnovel.com asked Arielle, “What do you want? I heard that you chased your homeroom teacher out of here. Do you think that your father was protecting you? He just wants the money. Although you’re his biological daughter and Shandie was adopted, both of you are just his puppets to make money for him!”
Cindy was trying to provoke Arielle. Since wp4webnovel.com was upset, wp4webnovel.com would not let the latter have it easy either. Yet, wp4webnovel.com was surprised that Arielle was not mad at all.
The latter smirked as wp4webnovel.com questioned, “Adopted… Are you sure?”
Cindy froze for a while before wp4webnovel.com calmed herself. I didn’t mention anything about Shandie’s identity that day.
She clenched wp4webnovel.com teeth and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing…” Arielle deliberately drawled. “I just think you seem a little too upset with Shandie’s death. It’s almost as if she’s not an adopted child but your biological child.”
Cindy became anxious upon hearing that and tried to calm herself. “What nonsense are you talking about? I raised Shandie, so wp4webnovel.com was like a biological child to me. Quit talking nonsense!”
Arielle shrugged before wp4webnovel.com said, “Maybe I’m talking nonsense, but do you know where Dad went just now?”
Cindy furrowed wp4webnovel.com brows. She wanted to know, but wp4webnovel.com could not ask Henrick about it with all the guests around. Besides, wp4webnovel.com had assumed that Henrick went out for business. However, wp4webnovel.com became curious after listening to Arielle.
After pausing for several seconds, Cindy said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me tell you this. Your father and I love each other dearly. You can’t do anything to separate us!”
“Love each other? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for uttering such a lie?” Arielle questioned in a mocking tone.
Cindy’s gaze wavered when wp4webnovel.com yelled guiltily, “Arielle! Stop with the nonsense! I’m not feeling well. I need to take a rest now!”
After that, wp4webnovel.com hurried off toward the mansion.
She was extremely nervous as wp4webnovel.com left, worrying that Arielle knew about wp4webnovel.com affair with Matthias. However, upon further contemplation, wp4webnovel.com thought that it was impossible.
If wp4webnovel.com knew about it, wp4webnovel.com would’ve exposed me long ago. She wouldn’t keep it secret till now.
With that thought, wp4webnovel.com felt assured. That was when wp4webnovel.com walked past Malorie’s room.
