After going back to her room, Malorie was still in a state of shock. Arielle's gaze was too terrifying! That looks so much like Cindy's.
Suddenly, goosebumps crawled all over her body. She also decided to chase Arielle away as soon as possible. That little minx! I can't let her stay any longer in our house.
As soon as Malorie regained her sense, she rushed forward to the door to knock on the door intensely. “Open the door! Open the door! I want to see Rick! I need to talk to him!”
The bodyguard who guarded outside the room stuck his ear to the door and said, “Mrs. Southall, please don't make this hard for us. According to Mr. Southall's order, you're not allowed to go anywhere now.”
“I'm his mom! If you don't open the door now, I'll fire all of you!”
However, the bodyguard only responded with a short sentence, “I'm sorry.”
Malorie started to panic and paced in circles. She had left her phone in the living room, so she could not contact Henrick right then.
Had Henrick lost his mind? Why did he lock me up for Arielle and that uncivilized man? Malorie was utterly confused.
“Hey! Open the door...”
Meanwhile, Henrick lowered his head with an awkward laugh. Sweats appeared on his forehead as he pulled Arielle over. “Sannie, tell Mr. Nightshire that your Grandma isn't always like this. She has been treating you nicely all along.”
“Treating me nicely?” Arielle stared into Henrick's eyes.
Feeling a little guilty, Henrick turned away to avoid her gaze. “Sannie, don't put me in a difficult position, okay? You can't deny that I'm always nice toward you, right?”
Arielle snorted under her breath, but she continued to put on an obedient expression. She looked at Vinson, letting out a sigh. “Vinson, forget about it. Grandma is old now. I don't want to blame her, so don't you take that to heart too.”
In other words, she was hinting that Malorie did not treat her well. With that, she could also get herself some benefits.
