Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 296
Arielle was still caught up in her thoughts when Henrick rushed up and said, “Sannie, I have to go to the office for a while. I almost forgot that there’s a shareholder meeting tonight. I need you to take care of things here, but I don’t think anyone will come at night. Oh, and remember to take good care of Vinson. Make sure that he has everything he needs, okay?”
Arielle nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure. Leave it to me.”
“All right. I’ll be going now.” With that, Henrick turned and hurried off.
He did not notice that the moment he turned his back to Arielle, her gentle gaze turned into a cold, piercing glare.
As she narrowed her eyes, the flickering candlelight in the backyard shone on the side of her face and made her look even more menacing.
Just as I thought, Henrick and Cindy are involved in Mom’s death! However, it’s strange that Cindy refused to divulge any details. It’s as if someone else is also involved in it. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll find out sooner or later. I’m in no hurry. Since I’ve confirmed that both of them are involved in Mom’s death, I can begin to exact revenge. I’m not going to spare either of them!
Apart from the flickering light from the candles and the sound of leaves rustling in the gentle breeze, the backyard was quiet.
Anyone else would have deemed it eerie, but Arielle stood there quietly for a long time. She looked calm, as if she was merely casually taking a stroll in the backyard.
Alfred was passing by the backyard on his rounds when he saw Arielle standing there all by herself. He hurried over to her immediately and said, “Ms. Arielle, you don’t have to stay here if you’re afraid. We can stay instead.”
“Afraid?” Arielle echoed with a smile on her lips.
Why should I be afraid of the dead? Should I be afraid of ghosts? If there are indeed such things as ghosts, Mom would’ve dragged Henrick and Cindy with her. The dead are gone and helpless. That’s why I have to live and bring the culprit to justice!
The night air was chilly.
