She had no choice but to continue staying here until she had completely settled the matters regarding
Southall Group and Henrick’s family.
Thinking of that, Arielle reluctantly stretched out her hand to hold Henrick’s hand and said, “Dad, thank
you for letting me stay. I’1n really glad. You’re my only family member in this world, Dad.”
Henrick’s eyes reddened.
Such a good kid! Why would I be deceived by Cindy and wanted to kick you out of the house?
He nodded and patted Arielle on her shoulder. “My good girl, it’s my fault for letting you down. I assure
you that this will never happen again.”
Henrick’s tone was firm when he said it. However, Arielle knew that Henrick was not one who would
keep
his promises. He might change his mind in the next second.
Someone who was untrustworthy and selfish like him was undeserving of being called a father.
Michael said that there were no sons in Cindy’s life. That also meant that Michael had no sons too.
“Thank you, Dad.” Arielle showed him a warm smile, but it was cold in her heart.
The smile on Arielle’s face pierced through Cindy’s eyes like a sword.
She had not expected that the scheme that she had pttll‘tSltll{lI1f._Il_\’ put in place with Malorie did not
hurt Arielle even in the sliglttest. Instead. it had eatised Henrick to be mad at her.
She hit her lips in fury. Vixen! Arielle is indeed a vixen!
Suddenly, Cindy thought about the “baby“ in her stomach.
The fake pregnancy would be revealed sooner or later. She might as well used this non-existent child
to get Arielle out of the house.
Since the psychic was unreliable, she could only rely on hcrscl t‘ now.
Cindy had an idea in her mind. She put on an apologetic smile on her face and said to Arielle. “hannie.
1’21: sorr_\‘ for treating you like that. l had really lost iuy mind. i was just too afraid that you would not
be able to ace~ept the child in my stomach. Please t‘orgi\’=e me. I’ll dctinitcly make it up for you in the
future.“
Arielle was stunned. “What do you iueau by l wotiititri be able to accept the child in your :stotu:tclt‘.’ isn’t
that you who is unable to accept me‘.”‘
something like Shandie to happen again…”
Henrick frowned. He wanted to help Cindy to lecture Arielle, but he swallowed his words when he
thought of what Michael said that Arielle was “blessed by an angel.” He tried to be a peacemaker and
said, “Misunderstanding. It’s just a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding will be eliminated eventually if
the two of you get along well in the future.”
Cindy was extremely unhappy, but she knew that she could not say anything else at this moment. She
was so helpless that she turned her gaze to Malorie for help.
However, when Cindy’s gaze fell on Malorie, she saw Malorie sitting on the chair and panting.
Cindy asked in shock. “Mom, what’s the matter with you?”
Only then did Henrick notice that there was something wrong with Malorie. He hurried forward and
asked, “Mom, are you okay?”
Malorie wanted to say that she was okay. However, once she opened her mouth, her chest hurt so
much that she could not say a word.
Seeing the scene, Alfred hurriedly said to Henrick, “Mr. Southall, Mrs. Southall fell down from the stairs
earlier today. Not sure if she hurt herself that time?”
“What? Why did you only tell me now? Get a car and go to the hospital now!” Henrick was startled and
scolded Alfred. “Yes,” answered Alfred and hurried away.
Henrick carefully helped Malorie up and asked Cindy to stay home. With the assistance of the
housekeeper, Malorie was carried and put into the car.
