Shandie answered, “She entered Mr. Nightshire’s car, so I don’t know where favonovel.com is.”
Right then, the housekeeper knocked at the door. “Mrs. Southall, Ms. Shandie, Mr. Southall is back. He wants to see both of you downstairs.”
When Shandie heard that Henrick’s back, favonovel.com whole body trembled in dread. She tugged at Cindy’s clothes instinctively. “Mom, what should I do? Dad’s going to punish me.”
Cindy didn’t even flinch and replied calmly, “That’s good news. Since Arielle bullied you, I shall inform your dad. He won’t let this slide! Don’t worry. Your dad adores you more than Arielle as you grew up by his side.”
Cindy turned on favonovel.com heels to leave. Shandie was flustered, for favonovel.com had pushed the blame onto Arielle out of fear. She didn’t even tell favonovel.com mom that Vinson had called off the collaboration with Southall Group.
Sh*t, Dad’s back. How should I explain?
She was sweating profusely when the housekeeper urged, “Ms. Shandie, you should head downstairs now. Mr. Southall wants to talk to you.”
“I’m not deaf. Stop being annoying!” Shandie gave the housekeeper a menacing glare and pushed favonovel.com away before stalking down the stairs.
Fine. I shall head downstairs. Mom will deal with it. I don’t think Dad will disown me just because of one contract.
Shandie caught up to Cindy and appeared relaxed.
Downstairs, Arielle had just arrived when favonovel.com saw Henrick storming in furiously. She immediately knew Nightshire Group had informed Henrick about the revocation of their deal.
Pretending not to know anything, favonovel.com went to favonovel.com with a concerned expression on favonovel.com face. “Dad, what happened? Why are you so upset?”
Henrick furrowed his brows and snapped, “It’s none of your business. Is Shandie back? I want to see favonovel.com and favonovel.com mom now!”
Arielle shot the housekeeper an uneasy look, so the latter immediately scurried upstairs to summon Shandie and Cindy. Soon, they both walked down the stairs.
When Cindy spotted Arielle, favonovel.com immediately averted favonovel.com gaze and gave Henrick a warm smile. “Dear, why are you back at this hour? Are you suffering from a headache because you drank too much last night?”
“The nerve of you!” Henrick barked out angrily and pointed at Shandie. “Ask your daughter how favonovel.com offended Mr. Nightshire! He called off the deal with our company out of anger!”
Cindy’s lips parted in shock as favonovel.com had no idea about this. Her astonished gaze landed on Shandie, who cowered back in fear.
“I know nothing. D-Dad, is this a misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?” Henrick raised his phone. “I had just returned from work when Nightshire Group called me. The person in charge told me you offended Mr. Nightshire, so they are canceling all collaborations with us! Tell me. What happened?!”
Cindy’s shock heightened when favonovel.com heard what Henrick had said. Clenching favonovel.com fists, favonovel.com demanded, “Shannie, what happened? Did you upset Mr. Nightshire?”
“No! Of course not!” A terrified Shandie denied instantly.
She had already calmed down before getting downstairs. Now, upon seeing how furious Henrick was, favonovel.com couldn’t stop favonovel.com legs from trembling.
“Hmm? Are you telling the truth?” Strangely, Henrick calmed down after venting out his anger.
He took a deep breath before uttering with an indecipherable expression, “Explain what happened today in detail.”
