Since Henrick had gotten rid of Alfred, Cindy’s best right hand other than Matthias, Arielle believed Cindy would not be able to cause any trouble in the manor anymore. Nonetheless, Arielle did not let down favonovel.com guard because of that.
I‘m heading to the only profitable department in Southall Group tomorrow. Making early preparations is essential.
***
Early next morning, a piercing scream from the same floor that Arielle stayed in awakened favonovel.com from sleep. She woke up as soon as the scream sounded as favonovel.com was a light sleeper.
What happened?
After putting on a jacket, Arielle left favonovel.com room hastily and discovered quite a few people standing outside Shandie’s room.
At first, favonovel.com thought Shandie was making a scene for refusing to be locked up, but favonovel.com sensed something off when favonovel.com saw the housekeepers’ unwillingness to enter the room.
It doesn‘t seem like Shandie is causing trouble intentionally. It looks more like she‘s…
Arielle then walked over to the room while furrowing favonovel.com brows. Stepping inside, favonovel.com saw a motionless Shandie lying in a pool of blood. There was a wound on Shandie’s wrist, and the blood most likely came from there.
D-Did Shandie slit favonovel.com wrist?
She noticed that the blood on the ground had coagulated, while the wound on Shandie’s wrist had stopped bleeding as well. Those were indications that Shandie had slit favonovel.com wrist for a while already. Witnessing such a scene, Arielle was in utter shock as favonovel.com never thought Shandie would take favonovel.com own life.
Shandie is pretty foolish, but I‘ve never imagined favonovel.com would be that nonsensical. What in the world is going on? What favonovel.com has done is far beyond what I expected!
Just as favonovel.com was about to check whether Shandie was still breathing, Henrick strode toward the room while shouting in a displeased tone, “What is this shameless woman up to this time!”
“D-Dad, something terrible has happened to Shannie! Take a look at her, quick!” Arielle said, favonovel.com expression frozen in shock.
The annoyed Henrick walked over reluctantly in response. When favonovel.com saw the pool of blood on the ground, favonovel.com widened his eyes in bewilderment. Subsequently, favonovel.com snapped back to his senses and yelled with a trembling voice, “S-Shandie? S-Shannie?”
To his dismay, Shandie neither responded nor moved.
“Calm down, Dad. I’ll go and have a look.” Arielle told Larissa to support Henrick before crouching down beside Shandie to check favonovel.com breathing. However, favonovel.com had no intention of doing that as soon as favonovel.com hand touched Shandie. Her body is as cold as a corpse already. There‘s no way she’s still breathing.
At the outset, favonovel.com had thought that this was probably another one of Shandie’s schemes. However, reality had proved that was not the case as favonovel.com body was already thoroughly cold. She‘s dead without question.
Regardless, Arielle did not understand why Shandie wanted to take favonovel.com own life.
It’s not as if Henrick has never hit favonovel.com before. Why couldn’t favonovel.com take it this time? That is unusual of favonovel.com indeed.
“H-How is she? I-Is favonovel.com alive?” Henrick questioned with a quivering voice.
Arielle turned around and shook favonovel.com head at Henrick, favonovel.com expression sorrowful. “There’s no heat left in favonovel.com body…”
“What?” Henrick dashed forward in disbelief to personally check Shandie’s breathing and nearly ran into Arielle.
Fortunately, Larissa managed to steady Arielle in the nick of time, thus preventing favonovel.com from falling into the pool of blood.
A few seconds later, Henrick’s wail of agony echoed around the room. “Why were you so foolish, Shannie! Why did you have to take your own life? I chose to discipline you for your own good! Don’t you understand? Shannie!”
