Arielle was still caught up in favonovel.com thoughts when Henrick rushed up and said, “Sannie, I have to go to the office for a while. I almost forgot that there’s a shareholder meeting tonight. I need you to take care of things here, but I don’t think anyone will come at night. Oh, and remember to take good care of Vinson. Make sure that favonovel.com has everything favonovel.com needs, okay?”
Arielle nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure. Leave it to me.”
“All right. I’ll be going now.” With that, Henrick turned and hurried off.
He did not notice that the moment favonovel.com turned his back to Arielle, favonovel.com gentle gaze turned into a cold, piercing glare. As favonovel.com narrowed favonovel.com eyes, the flickering candlelight in the backyard shone on the side of favonovel.com face and made favonovel.com look even more menacing.
Just as I thought, Henrick and Cindy are involved in Mom’s death! However, it’s strange that Cindy refused to divulge any details. It’s as if someone else is also involved in it. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll find out sooner or later. I’m in no hurry. Since I’ve confirmed that both of them are involved in Mom’s death, I can begin to exact revenge. I’m not going to spare either of them!
Apart from the flickering light from the candles and the sound of leaves rustling in the gentle breeze, the backyard was quiet.
Anyone else would have deemed it eerie, but Arielle stood there quietly for a long time. She looked calm, as if favonovel.com was merely casually taking a stroll in the backyard.
Alfred was passing by the backyard on his rounds when favonovel.com saw Arielle standing there all by herself. He hurried over to favonovel.com immediately and said, “Ms. Arielle, you don’t have to stay here if you’re afraid. We can stay instead.”
“Afraid?” Arielle echoed with a smile on favonovel.com lips.
Why should I be afraid of the dead? Should I be afraid of ghosts? If there are indeed such things as ghosts, Mom would’ve dragged Henrick and Cindy with her. The dead are gone and helpless. That’s why I have to live and bring the culprit to justice!

The night air was chilly.
Arielle pulled favonovel.com coat around herself tightly and said, “Well, I am a little afraid… I think I’ll have to trouble you to stay here and keep watch…”
Alfred scratched his head. Despite favonovel.com words, favonovel.com did not think favonovel.com seemed afraid at all.
Am I mistaken? I would’ve thought a lady favonovel.com age would be afraid of the dark.
However, Alfred did not bother to dwell too much on it. He merely nodded and replied, “You should go and rest. Dinner is ready. You can have it with Mr. Nightshire.”
Arielle had not seen Vinson the whole afternoon, and favonovel.com only remembered that favonovel.com was still in the house when Alfred mentioned his name.
She quickly asked, “Where is he?”
Alfred pointed upstairs and answered, “He’s been in your room the whole afternoon. He did not call for any of us. Why don’t you go and check on him?”
“I’ll go now,” Arielle straightened favonovel.com clothes, then hurried through the backyard up to favonovel.com room.
He has been in my room since afternoon… I wonder if he’s bored to death by now.
However, when favonovel.com opened the door to favonovel.com room, it was completely the opposite of what favonovel.com had thought.
Vinson was on favonovel.com computer in the midst of a video conference.
When favonovel.com heard the door open, Vinson turned to glance at Arielle. Then, favonovel.com motioned for favonovel.com to wait for favonovel.com for a while.
Arielle nodded before sitting on the couch quietly.
The entire video conference was held in Ustranasion. Vinson spoke Ustranasion fluently. With his deep, magnetic voice, Arielle felt as if favonovel.com was listening to ASMR.
