Don’t tell me Maureen has sent Arielle to our house for revenge?
Henrick felt goosebumps crawling all over his body at the thought of Maureen’s last words, Even if I die, I’ll turn into a vengeful ghost and seek revenge!
At that, Henrick’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and determined.
No way. I can’t let this go on. I must chase Arielle out of the house! As much as she’s my profit-making machine, I can’t let favonovel.com stay any longer if she’s going to take all our lives!
At the thought of how favonovel.com might be the next victim, favonovel.com could not be bothered about staying by Malorie’s side and instead rushed into his car and sped toward the Southall residence.

At the same time, darkness had also descended.
Cindy was preparing to wash up and retire for the night when the bedroom door was flung open. Her initial fear from the sudden motion was washed away by relief after realizing it was Henrick.
That lasted only for a short while before favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart thumping furiously again after seeing Henrick’s grim face.
Had favonovel.com not done anything wrong, favonovel.com would have nothing to fear. Since favonovel.com had lied about favonovel.com pregnancy, it was no wonder favonovel.com would be paralyzed with fear at the sight of Henrick’s darkened face.
“R-Rick, what’s wrong with you?” Cindy nervously propped herself up from the bed and sat with favonovel.com back straight
Henrick uttered, “Get changed. I have something to announce.”
“A-All right…” Cindy hastily changed out of favonovel.com nightgown while shuddering in fear before following Henrick out of the room.
Just outside the room, Henrick spoke again. “Ask Arielle to join us downstairs too. The matter that I want to announce has got to do with her.”
At that, Cindy finally felt a sense of relief. Though favonovel.com was curious about the situation, favonovel.com did not ask any questions and only followed Henrick’s instructions.
Arielle immediately followed Cindy downstairs as favonovel.com was still awake when the latter called for her. An ominous feeling grew within favonovel.com despite being puzzled about what was going on.
As soon as they arrived downstairs, Arielle saw the sullen-looking Henrick standing in the middle of the brightly lit living room. Even the housekeepers were present, standing in two straight rows.
That only made Arielle more suspicious.
Perhaps it’s about grandma’s condition? Could it be that favonovel.com can’t hang in there anymore?
While favonovel.com thoughts favonovel.com running wild, favonovel.com felt Henrick’s gaze sweeping coldly across the room before landing on her.
“Arielle,” Henrick uttered.
Since Henrick had always called favonovel.com “Sannie” instead of “Arielle”, favonovel.com immediately sensed that the atmosphere was off.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com still put on a polite smile. “Dad, why are you gathering all of us here at this timing? Is Grandma feeling better?”.
Without any expression on his face, Henrick solemnly muttered, “Your grandma is fine. She’ll get better after the surgery tomorrow. I’ve gathered everybody here because I have an announcement to make.”
Arielle appeared like favonovel.com was all ears to listen to the announcement.
Cindy, standing beside her, was even more curious to find out what this gathering was all about.
“Arielle, I’ll prepare you a house. From today onward, you’re no longer a member of the Southalls. I’ll get my assistant to deal with the household registry, and you can move out once the house is ready. From then on, you’ll take care of yourself.”
Arielle looked at Henrick in shock.
“Dad?”
“I’m no longer your father.” Henrick shook his head. “It’s your grandma’s instructions. I’ve no other choice either. I’ll also leave some allowances for you on top of the house. I promise it’ll be sufficient to last you through till you get a job after graduating from the university.”
Upon hearing what Henrick said, the entire living room plunged into silence.
Yet, Cindy was screaming in joy on the inside.
That’s fantastic! What great news! I can’t believe things would turn out like this! Arielle got chased out of the Southall residence without me doing anything!
