Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 294
“So… You’re saying that you were the one who killed Maureen, then? What about Dad? Did he have anything to do with it?” Arielle asked.
“Of course he did! He hates Maureen just as much as I do! The brighter she shone, the more humiliated he was. Despite marrying into the family, he was more ambitious than anyone else! It’s only natural that he would try to get rid of her!” Cindy replied with a wry chuckle.
Arielle’s veins were bulging from her forehead, and it took her every ounce of willpower she had just to maintain her composure as she continued asking, “How did you two do it, then?”
Cindy shook her head in response. “Her death wasn’t a simple one, and that’s all you have to know. I will take everything else to the grave.”
Naturally, Arielle wasn’t content without getting the details, but Cindy refused to say anything further.
Arielle was about to try and throw a tantrum like Shandie when she heard footsteps outside the door.
“Wait for me to get you out of there!” she whispered before pulling her hand back and recomposing herself.
She then opened the door and felt a little nervous when she made eye contact with Henrick who was standing outside.
I’m pretty sure my reaction time was quick enough, but
the door isn’t really soundproof… I wonder if Henrick heard any of that?
Fortunately for her, Henrick didn’t hear anything and simply asked curiously, “Why are you still inside?”
Arielle calmed herself down and replied, “Aunt Cindy sees me as Shandie, so I figured I’d let her live in her little fantasy world and play along. She can’t recognize who I am, but her mental state is a lot more stable now.”
“Yeah. It seems you were well-educated in the village. We should make a trip to your hometown someday and thank the couple who raised you,” Henrick suggested.
