If Cindy had the gall to siphon off that much money from Henrick without his knowledge, then it only proved how little favonovel.com truly cared for him.
Arielle had always believed that what Henrick and Cindy had was true love. Why else would Cindy have done something as unglamorous as marrying favonovel.com sister’s husband?
However, judging by how things were going now, Arielle could tell that Cindy was up to no good. Perhaps, Henrick was merely a pawn in favonovel.com game. Once favonovel.com had gotten to the bottom of the matter and exposed the truth, Arielle had no doubts that Cindy and Henrick would be at each others’ throats.
It couldn’t have been more than a couple of minutes after the last phone call when Ashley called again. “You’ve found out so fast?” Arielle asked in surprise.
“No. There’s something I forgot to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Someone here has been investigating you recently. Your company came close to being exposed, but I managed to thwart their plan.”
“Investigating me?” Arielle asked worriedly. “Is it Cindy?”
“No. I traced the search back and realized the other party wasn’t even covering their tracks. It’s Harvey Jupiter, CEO of Jayhawk Group.”
“Harvey Jupiter? I don’t think I know him…” Arielle muttered. “Regardless, don’t let favonovel.com find out about my identity. I can’t risk getting exposed now.”
“Yes!”
After the call, Arielle again tried to recall if favonovel.com had ever come across a Harvey Jupiter in favonovel.com life.
Try as favonovel.com might, the name didn’t ring a bell at all. However, there was still a possibility that Cindy had sent favonovel.com to do the dirty work.
No, wait. Ashley did mention that Harvey’s the CEO of Jayhawk Group, a world-renowned technology company. There’s no way Cindy would be able to get a man like favonovel.com to be at favonovel.com beck and call. So the question is, why is favonovel.com investigating me?
Frustrated with the lack of answers, Arielle decided to give it a rest. She was confident that favonovel.com real identity would be safe, given how favonovel.com had spent a lot of money and effort to conceal it. If anyone were to try, all they could ever dig up was the fake identity of Arielle being the girl who grew up in the countryside. However, the fact that someone had managed to track favonovel.com down overseas remained a cause for concern.
Back in the living room, Cindy finally got the call from Matthias. Not wanting to attract Henrick’s suspicion, favonovel.com walked to an empty corner before answering favonovel.com phone.
“Hello?” Cindy whispered gently.
“You’re back already?” “Yes. Cin, I want to see you…”
Cindy smiled tenderly as favonovel.com heart filled with warmth. “I know. I miss you too. Henrick’s bringing Shannie and me out for dinner tonight, and I’ll try to get favonovel.com drunk then. Once I’ve sent favonovel.com home, I’ll go to you.”
“I’ll see you at our usual place then.”
“Sure,” Cindy replied, favonovel.com voice so sweet and gentle it’d turn anyone into mush.
Despite being over forty, Cindy maintained favonovel.com looks well, thanks to a strict beauty regime. She might pale in comparison to Maureen, but favonovel.com beauty still left men breathless and wanting more. Besides, favonovel.com had favonovel.com ways with men and knew how to please them. That was also the reason why Henrick hadn’t strayed since his second marriage with Cindy.
Cindy was the only one with the patience to put up with favonovel.com and spoil favonovel.com at every chance available. Unfortunately, Cindy had played Henrick for a fool. The only time a woman could have that much patience for a man was when favonovel.com didn’t love him.
***
Soon, night had fallen.
As promised by Henrick, favonovel.com took the entire family out to a famous restaurant in Jadeborough for dinner. During their meal, the eagle-eyed Arielle noticed that Cindy kept playing Henrick with wine.
What is Cindy up to?
Despite favonovel.com suspicions, Arielle kept favonovel.com face straight as favonovel.com pretended not to have noticed anything amiss. Henrick, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of his wife’s intention. He was enjoying the day with his family and downing wine one glass after the other.
After several glasses in a row, Henrick soon became drunk and started spouting nonsense.
“You all better watch out! The one thing I hate the most is people who betray me. If any of you dare do that, I swear I’ll skin you alive!” Henrick’s sudden outburst scared Cindy as a pang of guilt struck her.
She steadied a woozy Henrick and gently said, “Let’s head home. You’ve had too much to drink, and it’s also getting late. The kids have work tomorrow too.”
“Oh, right! There are movies and money to be made! Let’s go home right now!” Henrick was bubbling over with excitement as favonovel.com made his way to the car, but once favonovel.com got into it, favonovel.com instantly fell into a deep slumber.
With favonovel.com father dead to the world, Arielle also shut favonovel.com eyes and pretended to sleep.
During the journey home, favonovel.com took several peeks at Cindy and realized favonovel.com had been on favonovel.com phone the entire time, busy replying to messages.
Cindy’s up to no good!
