Chapter 776
Cindy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I managed to contact some people. Their leader was a graceful old woman, who also seems to be his elder. She said that he had a fiancée already, and she didn‘t want him and Maureen to be involved with each other anymore. We were on the same page about getting rid of Maureen, and then we told Henrick about this. He couldn‘t stand Maureen‘s arrogance as well. That was why he joined us.”
Arielle narrowed her eyes. “What happened next?”
Cindy reminisced and said, “It was one bright sunny day. Henrick agreed to divorce her, but he wished she would give us her blessings. We invited her for a meal in a hotel, and she agreed to come.”
Vinson said coldly, “I guess she didn‘t know it was a
trap.”
Cindy sneered. “You’re right. She came without her bodyguards. I guess she didn’t want the public to know. She brought over the household registry with her, perhaps she wanted to divorce him right after the meal. Henrick and I drugged her food, but she somehow figured that out, and she defeated all my subordinates before making her escape…”.
Arielle clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her urge to strangle Cindy.
Cindy continued saying, “She was an idiot. She could have survived if she ran away and disappeared. But instead, she returned to the manor to look for you. Fortunately, the old woman arrived in time with her subordinates at the manor.”
Speaking of this, a hint of terror flashed across in Cindy‘s expression as if she had thought of something scary.
“Keep talking!” Arielle urged.
Cindy‘s lips curled into a mocking smile. “She was not their opponent at all. They took her down right away. The old woman then suggested faking her suicide. She helped Henrick and me to move Maureen back to Jadeborough. They made us push her down from the thirty–eighth floor.”
Arielle was trembling upon hearing that.
