“Why?” Dylan asked curiously. Isn't locking her up the best thing to do?
Arielle explained that it wasn't a coincidence for Cindy to come to Turlen, as someone had to bring her here. However, they had no idea who did it and what that person's agenda was.
Until they got to the bottom of the matter, she didn't want to alert the perpetrator by sending Cindy to prison. Instead, she wanted to observe the situation for the time being. With Cindy now in her custody, the person who brought Cindy into the country would begin to panic. Subsequently, Arielle would use the opportunity to find out who the perpetrator was.
Impressed by how much more comprehensive Arielle's thought process was compared to his own, Dylan looked at his daughter in admiration.
All these years, he had become dejected from his mother's control and the knowledge of Maureen's death. Despite being embroiled in a power struggle with his mother, he still lacked the mental shrewdness Arielle had displayed.
It's clear that I have plenty of room for improvement. As her father, I can't be outdone by my own daughter. Or else, how am I going to protect her?
“Sannie, do you think I'm useless?” Dylan began to doubt his own abilities.
Cocking an eyebrow, Arielle gave him a baffled look. “Why do you say that?”
“Well, look at how thoroughly you have thought through the issue. As your father, I couldn't...” Dylan stopped abruptly.
Arielle responded in a helpless tone, “Dad, you have already done very
well.”
Very few are still capable of demonstrating their strength after being manipulated for so many years. Even though his power isn't enough currently, isn't it just a matter of time?
Not only was Dylan reassured by her confidence in him, but his conviction was also strengthened alongside it.
Upon their return to Paelsford Manor, Arielle inquired about the location Cindy was held. Once she was told that it was the backyard, the three of them made their way there together.
At the moment, both of Cindy's legs were bound by chains. Arielle was satisfied with the restraints, for that was what her mother's murderer deserved. In fact, she even considered the treatment to be lenient.
