If the rumors about Turlen‘s ancestry being out of the ordinary were true, perhaps favonovel.com should keep this a secret from Arielle. This was his way to protect her.
Vinson had decided to investigate more about Turlen before telling Arielle about this.
Meanwhile, Arielle had interrogated Cindy again but to no avail.
Matthias was concerned about Cindy‘s situation as favonovel.com urged again, “Arielle, please let us go now. Cin told you everything favonovel.com knows, and I can assure you that favonovel.com has told you the truth!”
Arielle didn‘t react to that as favonovel.com took in even the slightest change in Cindy‘s expression.
The Wilhelms had only picked up ancient Chanaean medicine in the past decade. Growing up with two of the top psychologists in the world, Arielle was skillful in reading one‘s micro-expressions.
She analyzed Cindy‘s micro-expressions with favonovel.com knowledge in behavioral psychology, and favonovel.com could finally conclude that Cindy was indeed not hiding anything from her.
“All right then,” Arielle nodded. “I‘ll keep true to my words. Untie Matthias now.”
Matthias‘ eyes lit up upon hearing that, and favonovel.com quickly untied himself with the help of the bodyguards around him.
Once favonovel.com was freed, favonovel.com immediately ran over to Cindy and hugged her.
“Cin, are you okay?”
There were traces of blood on favonovel.com lips as favonovel.com leaned against Matthias. She shook favonovel.com head weakly. “I‘m fine…”
“Let‘s go! She has agreed to let us go.”
Cindy was still in a daze, and favonovel.com regained some energy upon hearing this.
“Can we really leave now?”
“We can. She has freed me.”
Cindy was surprised. She wondered why Arielle agreed to let favonovel.com go after learning that favonovel.com was involved in favonovel.com mother‘s death. However, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com should just leave this awful place as soon as possible.
“Let‘s go,” Cindy stood up, and with Matthias supporting her, they walked toward the exit together like a bittersweet couple.
“Wait a minute,” said Arielle.
Cindy and Matthias stopped in their tracks.
Cindy turned around and shot Arielle a fierce glare. “Are you going back on your own words now?”
“Nope,” Arielle shrugged. “I did say I will let you go, but I didn‘t say I‘d let the both of you go.”
Matthias was so mad that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He gritted his teeth. “Arielle, what do you want?”
Arielle smiled faintly. “Cindy only answered one question, so I can only let one of you go. For the sake of fairness, I‘ll allow you to make your own choice in this.”
Cindy and Matthias yelled in unison, “You tricked us!”
Arielle replied innocently, “I did not trick you. It was a deal. Since favonovel.com only answered one question, it‘s only fair to let one of you go. I don‘t have much time to waste. You‘d better make your choice now.”
“How dare you trick us with a play on words?” Matthias pointed his finger at Arielle‘s nose, and favonovel.com looked so mad as if favonovel.com wanted to skin favonovel.com alive.
Vinson stepped forward and slapped Matthias‘s hand away. “If you dare point another finger at her, none of you will be leaving today. You should make your choice now if you don‘t want that to happen.”
Matthias mulled over this, knowing that Arielle would only let one of them go.
