His Versatile Gorgeous Wife (PDF) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105
“Shut up!” Henrick interrupted and gave Cindy a death stare. “You’d better learn what can be said and what can’t! I’ll sleep in the study room these few nights. And don’t go out as you please. I’ll have you followed, so you won’t go looking for that willful child!”
Cindy was so enraged that she clenched her fists tight.
It looks like I have to speed up my plan of taking over Southall Group. I’ve had enough of you, Henrick Southall!
Arielle smirked when she saw how Cindy’s face had contorted in a bid to suppress her rage.
Cindy sure can tolerate and put on an act. If Shandie had half of her mother’s tolerance level, she wouldn’t have been chased out that easily by
Henrick.
It was Arielle’s turn to put on an act as she gently urged Henrick, “Dad, when do I leave?”
Henrick recovered from his anger and looked at Arielle. “Go now. The driver’s already waiting for you. I won’t see you off, but please be careful. If it doesn’t work out, then come straight home. I won’t blame you.”
Making her daughter sleep with another man was something Henrick never wanted to do. If Vinson didn’t fall for it and word got out about what Arielle had done, he would only end up losing her.
However, with the dire state that his company was currently in, he had no choice but to go with that last-ditch effort.
Arielle waved Henrick goodbye and walked out of the house, disappearing into the night.
As he watched her leave, Henrick was overwhelmed by an inexplicable feeling of having lost something important. He soon shook off that feeling with a self-deprecating chuckle.
What is this? Am I getting more sentimental with age?
Henrick was aware that one couldn’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. He had to make that painful decision for the sake of the company. Thankfully, Arielle was sensible enough to understand his plight and not blame him.
Satisfied that he had done the right thing, Henrick headed up to his study to await Arielle’s good news.
Cindy, on the other hand, had gotten busy investigating Arielle.
Soon, she found out the long and the short of it from Matthias.
“I always thought Henrick truly loved Arielle as his daughter. But now, I know he sees her as just a pawn and a means for him to grow his business,” Cindy said mockingly.
“Why are you still thinking about that?” Matthias replied, his voice laced with concern. “Haven’t you always seen that b*tch as your obstacle? If she gets together with Vinson, wouldn’t that be worse? She might even become a threat to us…”
“Don’t worry. That won’t happen,” Cindy said calmly. “Henrick may be smart, but there are times when he’s a complete idiot. If he had bothered to check up on Vinson, he wouldn’t have hatched this plan in the first place. Given
Vinson’s status, he could have any woman he wants, but have you heard of any scandals involving him?” “No, I don’t think so.”
“Exactly. Vinson is a respectable and honest man. No matter how beautiful Arielle is, he wouldn’t accept any woman who shamelessly throws herself at him. Besides, I had seen how coldly he treated Arielle previously when we were on the plane.”
Despite Cindy’s reassurance, Matthias still couldn’t shake off the worry that was bothering him. “But you told me this afternoon that the bitch had worked with Vinson to set Shannie up. If it weren’t for them, Henrick wouldn’t have sent Shannie away to the monastery! Maybe Vinson does have feelings for the b*tch?”
