Arielle was determined to solve the mystery, for she knew she would regret it for the rest of her life if she left it unsolved.
Hence, the woman decided to stay a little longer to find out more.
The terrified Cindy quickly nodded in response because she would rather be locked away in a prison cell in Chanaea than stay at that godforsaken place, fearing that she might lose her life at any moment.
“No problem. That can be arranged,’* promised Arielle.
When Cindy heard that, her lips immediately cracked into a smile. However, it only lasted until Arielle added, “But you'll have to tell me who got you into Turlen and why. Only then will I let you go.’*
The second Arielle stated her condition, her aunt's smile vanished like the wind.
No, I can't tell her! I just can't!
Cindy shuddered when she imagined what would happen to her if she did what Arielle wanted. Hence, she shut her mouth tight and shook her head frantically.
Arielle furrowed her eyebrows tightly when she saw how her aunt reacted. That person must be very influential if she's this afraid to talk. But who could it be?
“So you don't want to talk, huh? Fine. I guess I'll just leave then." Arielle knew that Cindy would not give her what she wanted if she did not pressure the woman to do so, and the fearful look on Cindy's face only served to confirm that.
However, Cindy did not seem to budge even after Arielle had taken a few steps away.
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell me? If I walk away now, you won't be getting another chance, you know?" inquired Arielle on purpose, somewhat irritated by Cindy's stubbornness.
Still, Cindy remained as silent as the grave.
