Chapter 167 Anything Unusual

Arielle let go of the name card. “Okay. The flight is tomorrow. Send your child overseas and keep a low

profile. I promise I’ll bring him back safe and healthy.”

Larissa’s heart was beating fast, with her eyes brimming with tears. “Thank you so much, Ms. Arielle. I Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

knew that you were a good person all along. But, what is it you want me to do for you?”

“I… I want to know about my Mom.”

Right as those words left Arielle’s lips, Larissa’s face paled in fright, as though the former had

mentioned something terrifying.

“Why?” Arielle asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Larissa said with a soft voice, “We’re forbidden to mention Mrs. Moore in this house.

Arielle furrowed her brows. “Fret not, Mrs. Southall is currently at the monastery, while Dad is occupied

with his works. They won’t show up here. Just tell me everything you know about my Mom.”

Larissa carefully headed to shut the door, before coming back to the conversation.

“Ms. Arielle, to be frank, there’s a rumor among the elder staff here.

“Rumor?” Arielle shook her head right away. “I don’t want to hear any rumor, just the facts that you

know. Starting with the day my Mom got killed, did you notice anything unusual that day?”

Larissa pondered earnestly for a while. “It was just the same as other days. Mrs. Moore headed to work

after sending you to school. Then later, we received the news that she jumped from the top floor of the

company.”

Arielle’s gaze dimmed. “I know about all these. Please tell me something that I don’t know. Think

carefully, was there anything odd that day?”

“If you say odd… I suppose there’s one thing. Mr. Southall used to wake up late, and he would join his

friends for card games after that. But he woke up early that day. And instead of his usual sportswear,

he went out in his suit. I remember it well as he seldom wears his suit.”

Arielle bit her lips to suppress her emotions.

It seemed like her prediction was correct that her mother’s death was closely related to Henrick.

However, she needed more information than that.

“Anything else?”

“I could not recall anything else about that day. But I remember that Mrs. Southall cried hard at the

funeral, even though they were not close as sisters. However, Mrs. Southall did not live here during that

time. So if you’re suspecting her with the death of Mrs. Moore, there’s nothing I can help.”

Larissa added, “Plus, Mrs. Moore was also not close with Mr. Southall. She used to attend all

occasions alone without him. As Mr. Southall was the one who married into her family, he got a low

status during the time. He got looked down on by some of the housekeepers, and Mrs. Moore would

not allow him to be part of your life.”

Thinking that Henrick was not her birth father, Arielle could comprehend her mother’s action fully.

Larissa spoke while observing Arielle’s expression. “Shortly after we heard about Mrs. Moore’s suicide,

we heard that you were gone. Rumor has it that it was because Mrs. Moore didn’t pick you up at

school, so you tried to find your way to the company but were abducted on the way. Strangely, Mr.

Southall did not call the cops, as he said he had hired people to search for you. That’s all I know.”
