Cindy opened her eyes and gazed at Arielle viciously.
Arielle pretended to not see her. I knew Henrick will lock Shandie up or send her somewhere else.
Turns out, he decided to send her to the monastery. She’ll definitely suffer there.
Right then, the housekeeper came downstairs with six pieces of luggage.
Arielle questioned, “Does she need this much stuff at the monastery? I think Aunt Louisa can provide
her with the clothes, right?”
Cindy glowered at her. “It’s getting cold. She needs to bring more clothes to stay warm.”
Henrick spoke up. “Sannie’s right. The monastery has everything she needs, including winter clothes.
Besides that, she’s not allowed to bring any electronic devices. If she goes there to play games and
such, she can’t reflect on her mistake!”
“But—”
Cindy was about to refute his words, but Henrick shut her up with an icy glare.
“I thought you agreed that she needs to reflect on her mistake, but it seems like you don’t share my
sentiments. So did you slap her to put up a show?”
Cindy hastily changed her mind. “I’m worried she might get sick. Forget it, then.”
Therefore, the housekeeper packed everything in one bag.
When Shandie arrived at the monastery and realized there was only one piece of luggage with her
undergarments, she nearly lost it.
My phone! Where’s my phone?
“Tell Mom to send me my phone now!”
The housekeeper parted her lips to reply, but Henrick’s sister, Louisa Southall, ambled out before she
could say anything.
Louisa had only taken her temporary vows as a nun. When she saw how Shandie was kicking up a
fuss, her brows scrunched up.
“How dare you kick up a fuss in the monastery?”
Shandie shook in dread upon seeing Louisa.
Before Louisa became a nun, she was stern to both Shandie and Cindy. She preferred Maureen to
Cindy. After that, she came to the monastery and became a nun. Shandie had no idea what made her
do so.
“A-Aunt Louisa,” she greeted Louisa as her teeth chattered.
Louisa eyed her coldly and ordered, “Come in and pray.”
Shandie was utterly disheartened. She could only place her hopes on Cindy to get her out of this place.
When she recalled how Cindy slapped her, she grew increasingly dejected.
Mom must’ve abandoned me, her only daughter! I’ve made up my mind. If she doesn’t rescue me from
this place, I’ll no longer regard her as my mom!
At the Southall residence, Arielle took the letter she had intercepted from the housekeeper.
This was the letter Cindy wrote to Shandie.
Arielle bribed the housekeeper to lie to Cindy that the letter had been delivered to Shandie. The future
letters Cindy wrote would all be sent to her instead.
As the housekeeper was paid, she agreed to help Arielle without hesitation.
“Ms. Arielle, I shall take my leave now.”
“Alright.” Arielle waited for the housekeeper to leave before she took out the letter.
The letter was scribbled sloppily, showing how anxious Cindy was.
Of course, she would be flustered seeing her darling daughter being sent to the monastery. Still, the
moment she regained her senses, she’d target Arielle. I need to prepare myself for her retaliation.
Arielle squinted her eyes to read the letter, which explained how Cindy slapped Shandie to relieve
Henrick’s anger. She also assured Shandie she would save her soon. Shandie was to listen to her Aunt
Louisa’s instructions and not create any trouble there.
There was no useful information until Arielle reached the end of the letter.
