Disheartened upon seeing Shandie's corpse, tears slid down Henrick's face uncontrollably.
Witnessing the man grieving over his deceased daughter, the bystanders inevitably felt distressed.
It was almost like he really was a father crying over his daughter's death.
The housekeepers crowded around Henrick and offered their condolences, but only Arielle understood what he truly felt.
He had spent immense effort and money to nurture Shandie, and she was quite pretty when dressed up appropriately. With her appeal, she could undoubtedly marry into a wealthy family in Jadeborough. Her sudden death was solely a blow to his master plan.
Hence, he was not grieving for the loss of a daughter but a useful pawn.
Arielle did not further contemplate Henrick's feelings. She merely stared intensely at the dagger in Shandie's hand.
Suddenly, she found something wrong. She stealthily took out her phone and snapped some pictures of the scene.
Only then did she walk toward Henrick and feign sorrow. “Dad, I'm as saddened as you are.
However, now is not the time to mourn because I think Shandie's death might not be as simple as it seems. We should contact the police first.”
As Shandie and Arielle did not see eye to eye, unfavorable rumors would arise from the former's death.
To prevent troublesome gossips, she had to prove her innocence.
