Cindy's words only made the frustration in Henrick grow.
Regardless of everything, Arielle had made him lose too much. He could not lose this cash cow, but he could not keep her around either. Maybe I should leave her in a monastery.
Right as that thought emerged in his mind, Henrick spotted a group of employees from his company walking toward him.
Instantly, he gulped.
They've come to ask for compensation. These useless rubbish!
Instinctively, Henrick wanted to flee. However, the words he heard in the next second stunned him. “Mr. Southall, thank you!” After that, they all lowered their head at Henrick with looks of gratitude.
Thousands of questions immediately flooded Henrick's mind.
What's going on with them? Not only are they not asking for compensation, but they're even thanking me?
Even Cindy was dumbstruck by the scene.
What's going on?
On the other hand, Arielle was calmly standing at the side, her eyes dull.
The representative of the group then stepped forward and exclaimed, “Mr. Southall, you've raised a good daughter. We're grateful for her as well as you who have brought her into this world. I'll only work for you for the rest of my
life.”
Confounded, Henrick glanced at Arielle and asked the employee, “W-What do you mean?”
The employee gave Arielle an equally confounded look before saying, “Mr. Southall, it seems like you don't know about this. Ms. Arielle was the one who helped us out during the explosion.”
Cindy stiffened.
Still shocked, Henrick turned toward Arielle and mumbled, “Y-You saved them?”
Arielle nodded. “I didn't want them to die in there, so I ran to the control room on the second floor and unlocked the door.”
“No, that's not all of it!”
