Don't tell me Maureen has sentArielle to our house for revenge?
Henrick felt goosebumps crawling all over his body at the thought of Maureen's last words -Even if I die, I'll turn into a vengeful ghost and seek revenge!
At that, Henrick's gaze suddenly turned sharp and determined.
No way. I can't let this go on. I must chase Arielle out of the house! As much as she's my profitmaking machine, I can't let her stay any longer if she's going to take all our lives!
At the thought of how he might be the next victim, he could not be bothered about staying by Malorie's side and instead rushed into his car and sped toward the Southall residence.
At the same time, darkness had also descended.
Cindy was preparing to wash up and retire for the night when the bedroom door was flung open.
Her initial fear from the sudden motion was washed away by relief after realizing it was Henrick.
That lasted only for a short while before she felt her heart thumping furiously again after seeing Henrick's grim face.
Had she not done anything wrong, she would have nothing to fear. Since she had lied about her pregnancy, it was no wonder she would be paralyzed with fear at the sight of Henrick's darkened face.
“R-Rick, what's wrong with you?” Cindy nervously propped herself up from the bed and sat with her back straight.
Henrick uttered, “Get changed. I have something to announce.”
“A-All right...” Cindy hastily changed out of her nightgown while shuddering in fear before following Henrick out of the room.
Just outside the room, Henrick spoke again. “Ask Arielle to join us downstairs too. The matter that I want to announce has got to do with her.”
At that, Cindy finally felt a sense of relief. Though she was curious about the situation, she did not ask any questions and only followed Henrick's instructions.
Arielle immediately followed Cindy downstairs as she was still awake when the latter called for her.
