Arielle lowered her gaze silently. Vinson couldn’t tell what was on her mind because her eyes weren’t visible to him. Just when Vinson thought he wouldn’t get an answer, she suddenly looked up. “Revenge.” “Huh?” Vinson thought he was hearing things. Arielle stared at the landscape outside and revealed, “I came back to take revenge for my mother.” “Revenge?” Vinson was astonished. He immediately realized who she was talking about.
“Oh, you mean Mrs. Southall… No, Ms. Moore. Rumor has it that your mom committed suicide because she suffered from depression. You don’t think she killed herself?” “Of course not!” Arielle stated firmly. “I don’t remember my childhood clearly, but there are snippets I remember. There are clues to prove my mom didn’t commit suicide. For example, the moment she died, the Moore family became the Southall family.
Also, I couldn’t find any traces of my mom in that house. I’m pretty sure she was murdered instead.” Vinson’s gaze grew dark. “Who do you suspect? Your dad?” Arielle nodded before shaking her head. “I’m not sure. It’s either him or Aunt Cindy. Perhaps they both did it together. I’m still investigating the matter. When the truth is revealed, I shall make sure the culprit gets punished!” Vinson inclined his head.
“No wonder you said you’re busy. If you discover your dad was the culprit, what will you do?” “I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves,” came Arielle’s calm reply. She wouldn’t let him off easily! “Got it.” Vinson stared at her. “If you need my help, just let me know. You don’t have my name card, but you have my number. Just give me a call.” Arielle lowered her gaze. “Thank you.” Strangely, Vinson’s words gave her a sense of security.
