Shooting Cindy a glare, Arielle asserted, “Now, it‘s time for us to settle the score. You murderer, do you
have any last words?”
Just as she spoke, she waved the recording pen in her hand.
Earlier, she had recorded everything that Cindy had said.
Widening her eyes in shock, Cindy mumbled in desperation.
However, Arielle no longer had any patience to listen. With a wave of her hand, she ordered, “Take her
back to Jadeborough.”
Unlike Matthias, Cindy was bound tightly and thrown into the trunk.
As she emitted a stench from the pigsty, the bodyguards covered their noses after hurling her into the
boot.
“She f*cking stinks!”
“Closed the trunk quickly. It‘s killing me!”
Watching the trunk lid close on her, Cindy saw the light in front of her gradually disappearing into the
darkness.
She closed her eyes in despair as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Nevertheless, Cindy had no one else to blame for the dire circumstances she was in. She was now
reaping what she had sowed.
What awaited her at Jadeborough was the ridicule of the masses.
“We should go too.” After stretching himself, Vinson put an arm over Arielle‘s shoulder and remarked,
“Since the matter has been resolved, it‘s time for us to leave.”
“Wait.” Arielle stopped Vinson. “Give me one more hour as there‘s something I still need to do.”
“What is it?”
Arielle didn‘t answer. Instead, she headed toward Teddy‘s house.
When she arrived, she saw Nigel drinking to drown his sorrows.
He couldn‘t understand how the Southalls turned out to be so evil and rued the fact that he trusted
them so much. In fact, when Arielle sent a messenger to get his signature, he even berated the
messenger in order to protect the Southalls.
“Stop drinking, it‘s bad for you.” Josee took the wine away from his hand. Suddenly, she covered her
mouth and coughed intensely before dropping the wine glass onto the floor.
Right after the wine glass shattered into pieces, a mouthful of black–colored blood was spewed on top
of the glass shards.
“Josee!” Shocked by the sight, Nigel sobered up as he dashed over to support her. He asked in
concern, “Why are you coughing blood?”
When Teddy saw what happened, he sobbed, “Dad, Mom has been coughing blood over the last few
days. However, she forbade me from telling you.”
“You… how can you hide such a thing from me? Come on, let‘s go to the hospital at once.”
Nigel helped Josee out of the house.
However, Josee pushed Nigel aside and shook her head. “There‘s no need for that. It‘s just a waste of
money.”
“How can seeing the doctor be a waste of money?”
Shaking her head, Josee replied, “I know my own body very well. I‘ll just be honest with you, I don‘t
have much time left.”
“I don‘t believe it!” Nigel asserted with reddened eyes, “I’ll take you to the hospital right now. Even if I
have to beg on my knees, I will make sure they cure you.”
“I‘m not going!” Josee grabbed onto the corner of a table. “If you insist on wasting money, I might as
well die right now.”
“How can you spew such nonsense? What is Teddy going to do without you?”
With that, Teddy‘s cries grew louder instead.
At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the dilapidated door.
Josee, who saw the visitor first, exclaimed in shock, “Ms. Moore?”
The moment Teddy stopped crying, he dashed toward Arielle and hugged her leg.
“Sannie, please save my mom!”
