Shandie answered, “She entered Mr. Nightshire’s car, so I don’t know where she is.” Right then, the housekeeper knocked at the door. “Mrs. Southall, Ms. Shandie, Mr. Southall is back. He wants to see both of you downstairs.” When Shandie heard that Henrick’s back, her whole body trembled in dread. She tugged at Cindy’s clothes instinctively. “Mom, what should I do?

Shandie was flustered, for she had pushed the blame onto Arielle out of fear. She didn’t even tell her mom that Vinson had called off the collaboration with Southall Group. Shit, Dad’s back. How should I explain? She was sweating profusely when the housekeeper urged, “Ms. Shandie, you should head downstairs now.
Mr. Southall wants to talk to you.” “I’m not deaf. Stop being annoying!” Shandie gave the housekeeper a menacing glare and pushed her away before stalking down the stairs. Fine. I shall head downstairs. Mom will deal with it. I don’t think Dad will disown me just because of one contract.
Shandie caught up to Cindy and appeared relaxed. Downstairs, Arielle had just arrived when she saw Henrick storming in furiously.

Pretending not to know anything, she went to him with a concerned expression on her face. “Dad, what happened? Why are you so upset?” Henrick furrowed his brows and snapped, “It’s none of your business.
