Feigning an innocent and happy look, Arielle nodded and exclaimed, “Thank you, Dad! I was just
feeling scared to go there alone
Henrick was over the moon. It was his fortune to have such an easily manipulated daughter
Taking back the contract, he stood up and said, “We’ll head to Nightshire Group tomorrow morning at
ten I’ll bring you to the stylist two hours before that. It’s getting late, so I’ll go to sleep now. You should
rest earlier too.”
Grabbing the opportunity, Arielle asked, “Dad, I still can’t sleep. Can I read in your study room?”
Henrick hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. “Sure, but you can only read the books on the left
side of the shelf Don’t touch the other Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
areas.”
“Okay, Dad” replied Arielle
After Henrick left, the obedient look on Arielle’s face disappeared.
Standing up, she closed the door before turning around and scrutinizing the room
The shelves, tables and chairs were all made from luxurious rosewood. Furthermore, they looked quite
old
Arielle ran her fingers over the shelf. Mom has probably touched these spots before, right?
She had lost all her childhood memories due to a high fever. All she could remember was her mother,
She could still remember the feeling of her mother’s hands gently caressing her face. In addition to her
gentle smile, Arielle could also remember her saying, “Run away, Sannie! When you grow up, take
revenge for me…”
However, she could not remember what exactly happened that prompted her mother to say that.
When she investigated her mother’s cause of death, Arielle discovered that she had been going for
health check-up every year. Even though her health report did not show anything wrong with her
mental state, she had committed suicide due to depression,
She had asked the doctor who gave her mother the check-up. The doctor had a strong impression of
Mom and was certain that she did not have depression
In that case, her mother did not die of suicide. Instead, she was murdered!
Arielle closed her eyes. She felt a layer of mist obscuring her vision, preventing her from discovering
the truth
When she opened her eyes again, she could finally think and see clearly
I will definitely discover the truth!
Arielle rummaged through the shelf carefully, but did not discover any of her mother’s belongings.
There was not even a photo in sight.
Logically speaking, after someone’s wife died, he would still keep a few photographs of her.
However, she could not spot a single momento of her mother in the study room,
There were two possibilities for this…
Either Henrick did not display a photograph because he was scared that Cindy would be jealous, or he
did not have any feelings for her mother at all. In fact, he might even have detested her.
It was impossible for him to be scared that Cindy would be jealous. His male chauvinistic ego would
have no room for Cindy’s crap.
Hence, the latter explanation had a higher possibility.
Of course, there was another alternative-Henrick was so scared of her mother that he did not even
dare to look at her photograph
Regardless of whether it was the second or third reason, both proved that her mother’s death was
closely related to Henrick
Although others claimed that Arielle’s mother committed suicide due to depression, it was impossible
for someone like that to tell her daughter to “run away quickly” and “take revenge” for her
In the meantime, she had also conducted an extensive investigation on Henrick.
Back then, the Bouthalls was just a small family in Jadeborough who owned a coal business. On the
contrary, the Moore Group was considered one of the major corporations in Jadeborough.
Based on her mother’s status back then, she would never have married the son of a coal mine owner
If Henrick was someone with good morals and principles, it would still be understandable. However, he
was the opposite.
The investigation also revealed that they got married in a flash. After being introduced to each other,
they married within a week
The fact that they married was already very strange.
After rummaging the shelf, she went to search the drawers in the desk
There were a total of four drawers. After combing through the first three, Arielle still did not find
anything. When she tried to open the fourth drawer, she realized that it was locked and she could not
pull it out
Just when she was about to find something to unlock it, she heard the sounds of footsteps coming from
the corridor.
