A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 13

This little b*tch is so evil. Dad’s definitely going to get rid of her. I’ll be the one and only Ms. Southall. “Drive faster! I want to get home immediately!” Shandie urged the driver. Soon, they arrived at the Southall residence. The moment she stepped out of the car, she noticed that the lights in the mansion were turned on. It was as though no one was asleep. Everyone must be worried about me. That’s why everyone’s still awake.

I’m still the precious princess of the Southalls. With those thoughts in mind, Shandie gleefully headed toward the door. She could imagine the way Henrick and Cindy would ask about her wellbeing once she stepped into the house. When that happened, she would then point out to them that Arielle was most likely the one to get the snake to hurt her. That way, Arielle would have to pack her things and leave immediately.

Wait. Arielle didn’t even bring anything with her. She can just leave immediately! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the quicker she walked. Just the mere thought of Arielle getting chased away made her giddy. At that moment, she had almost forgotten about the aches and discomfort she felt after getting poisoned and injured. “Mom!” Finally, Shandie entered the living room.

The lights in the living room were all turned on, and the housekeepers were all silently standing in there. The atmosphere of the room was tense as if something bad had happened. That was not the scene she had imagined. “Mom, what happened?” Shandie asked Cindy, who was silent like the others. Cindy then walked toward her, anger burning bright in her eyes. However, she could not find it in herself to berate Shandie after seeing her daughter’s deathlike pallor.

Instead, she asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a rush to leave the hospital?” Right then, Shandie recalled what she had wanted to tell them. Ignoring the odd tension, she uttered, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m back because I have something important to tell Dad.” A foreboding sense crept into Cindy’s heart, and she swiftly stopped her.

“Let’s talk the next morning. It’s been an eventful day. We’ll talk when you recover.” “No, Mom, I have to tell him now!” Who knows if I’ll get another opportunity to get rid of Arielle like this next time? I can’t wait anymore! Shandie felt that her mother was too hesitant. At a time like this, she should be decisive.

Thus, she pushed away Cindy and headed toward Henrick. “Dad, I have something to tell you.” As she spoke, she glanced at Arielle with arrogant, gloating eyes. Spotting the look in Shandie’s eyes, Arielle cocked her head, her interest piqued. “What is it?” Henrick questioned with a glacial expression. If Shandie admits to her mistake, I might forgive her this time.

Yet… Shandie said, “Dad, Arielle was the one to let that venomous snake into my room! She doesn’t like me, so she’s trying to kill me. She’s a wicked woman. Dad, you mustn’t keep her around! Henrick froze. He had not expected Shandie to blame Arielle for it despite being the culprit. How did I raise such a vicious and stupid daughter? Hearing his silence, Shandie thought it was because he was reluctant to get rid of Arielle.
