“Is that Senior Mrs. Southall? What’s wrong with her?”
“Why does she look like she’s possessed?”
“Don’t say that at a funeral! You’re scaring me!”
“We better hurry up and eat so we can leave!”
The backyard was filled with discussion and chatter.
Malorie heard their comments, and she became more certain about her decision.
She tugged at Cindy’s clothes and said, “Don’t waste time. Call the exorcist right now. After all the guests
leave, bring the exorcist over!”
Seeing Malorie so scared, Cindy was delighted. So being superstitious is not always a bad thing.
However, she did not believe in any of these superstitions.
She was not afraid of spirits at all. No, she was more afraid of Arielle, who had come to avenge
Maureen’s death.
Cindy murmured her assent before she ordered Alan to bring Malorie back to her room.
Just as Malorie walked off, Henrick came toward Cindy with a grim expression. He questioned, “You just
got back, and what are you up to now? What happened to Mom?”
“What happened to Mom? You’re asking me? You locked Mom inside her room for a day! She wasn’t
emotionally well. If I didn’t get her out, she would’ve fallen sick! Rick, have you been bewitched? You
were such a filial son!”
Henrick froze and refuted, “I did that for her! If she provokes Vinson again, she would have to face
serious consequences instead of just staying in her room for a night!
Cindy sighed and replied, “Fine. Ask Mom to give you an explanation after all the guests leave. Apart
from that, I have something important to tell you. But… Let’s wait until Shandie’s funeral ends.”
She did not want all these filthy matters to sully Shandie. My poor Shandie has to rest and reincarnate
peacefully.
Henrick’s brows were tightly clenched. Since many guests were still around, he could not press the
matter further. He then continued tending to the guests.
“Please carry on. My mother is too upset. She’s not feeling well, so she went back to take a rest.”
When the guests heard that, they consoled Henrick before continuing their conversation.
Henrick felt relieved. However, his gaze was locked on Cindy.
The latter was talking with a prominent lady with a
smile on her face.
Although she was almost fifty years old now, her figure looked gorgeous. From the back, she appeared
to be a young lady with a mature and charming aura.
With that beauty, any man would easily fall for her. Initially, Henrick loved Maureen, but she was an aloof
woman. After being looked down on constantly, Henrick gradually felt his dignity being threatened.
Later on, the passionate and free Cindy appeared. Henrick was naturally attracted to her, so they got
together after that.
Even today, Henrick still had the urge of a man when he saw Cindy.
However, looking at her now, his gaze was extremely cold.
Clearly, a woman who’s too beautiful and attractive doesn’t benefit the family much.
