However, Arielle shook her head slowly.
“No. When I first returned, I still saw you as my father. In fact, I told myself that as long as you weren't involved in Mom's death, I will help you and the Moore family. We could've elevated the Southall Group to greater heights. After all, you are my only family member. Unfortunately, you kept disappointing me again and again.”
Henrick's heart tightened at her words.
If he had known Arielle's true character and that she had captured Vinson's heart, he would have treated her as the darling of the family. As a matter of fact, the last thing he would do was kick her out of the house.
Wait!
Henrick suddenly realized that it wasn't too late. It was undeniable that Arielle was his daughter. Therefore, there was no way a daughter could bring herself to utterly ruin her father no matter how hardened her resolve was.
With a change of expression, he explained obsequiously, “Sannie, I'm sorry for everything I did in the past. I shouldn't have kicked you out on your grandma and Cindy's urging. This is all my fault. Can you please forgive me?”
“Hmph.” As if she had heard a joke, Arielle scoffed, “Even if I forgive you for chasing me out, what about my mom's murder?”
Briefly stunned, Henrick stuck to his story. “Your mom's death was an accident while Cindy was the one who caused it. Hence, it has nothing to do with me at all!”
“Is that so?” Arielle curled the side of her lips.
Henrick nodded repeatedly. “Of course! Given how much I love your mom, there's no way I would kill her. She is my wife after all.”
“Oh? Let's see what the other person has to say about this.” Arielle ordered the bodyguard, “Bring her here!”
