A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 271

Henrick shook his head and barked, “Convey my orders that no one is to mention the wedding. No matter what, the dead takes precedence, so we’ll have Shandie’s funeral first before we talk about the wedding later.”

“Understood!” The new butler hastily left to execute his orders.

Despite his slow-wittedness, he was rather efficient in performing his tasks. Soon enough, no one in the manor dared to mention that matter, for the previous butler’s fate was still vivid in their minds.

Just after Arielle and Vinson drove away from the Southall residence, the car that was driving Louisa and Cindy finally arrived at the manor gates about half an hour later.

The moment Cindy alighted from the car, she sensed something amiss. White flowers hung above the door as though a funeral was in progress.

Hmm? Why would there be a funeral at home?

When she strode in anxiously, she

immediately caught sight of the wreaths that were placed everywhere.

Her heart abruptly jolted, and her joy at returning home waned.

Someone in the family has truly passed away?

She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists. But in the next moment, her apprehension was swiftly replaced with delight at the thought that popped into her mind.

I reckon that Henrick must have kicked the bucket! After all, there are only four people in this family. He smokes and drinks heavily, so he has quite a number of minor ailments though there‘s nothing major. Besides, he‘s impulsive and irritable, so he might collapse anytime. Therefore, it‘s not entirely surprising if he suddenly contracted some illness and passed away!

Cindy’s heartbeat abruptly sped up, and excitement gripped her.

If he‘s dead, Arielle came from the village, so she doesn‘t have any inkling of laying claim to his inheritance. At that time, I can

bribe the lawyer and have him give Southall Group to me legally!

No wonder Louisa came back with me! It turns out that Henrick is dead! I initially thought that it‘d take some time for me to get my hands on Southall Group, but I never thought that God would be so good to me and hand it to me on a silver platter! This is truly a miracle! I‘ll soon be able to take Shannie away to stay with Matthias! As for Southall Group, I‘m going to change its name to Cindy Group at once after seven days have passed since his death!

What a wonderful name! And I‘m sure Maureen, who was far superior to me back when she was alive, never would‘ve thought that the company that she painstakingly brought to glory would end up becoming Cindy Group in the end. If she‘s looking down at us from heaven, she‘ll surely be so irate that she keels over and dies again!
