Chapter 162 Getting Rid Of Cindy
“What?”
Then, Vinson continued, “I have a bad temper, so I have many enemies. Among them are many who want to take my life. The explosion in the building was supposed to be an assassination attempt meant for me.”
At that, the colors drained out of Cindy’s face.
If what Vinson said was true, that meant that she was claiming that Vinson was the bringer of ill luck, for she thought it was Arielle’s fault the building collapsed.
She would never dare to insinuate that if she knew what was actually going on.
At that very moment, Cindy’s mind was filled with an overwhelming buzz.
With the last bit of her courage, she murmured, “Mr. Nightshire, even if you’re interested in Arielle, there’s no need to be a scapegoat for her.”
Almost immediately, Vinson shot Cindy a cold glare that made her break out in cold sweat.
“Give me the thing,” Vinson said to Carter as he kept his eyes on Cindy.
Carter had been enjoying the show from the side, and finally, it was his turn to enter the stage.
Without saying anything, he took out a piece of note. “Have a look.”
Cindy and Henrick then simultaneously turned to look at the paper.
On it was: I’ll be bringing them back. Vinson Nightshire will have to pay with his life for frightening my subordinate.
Upon reading the note, Cindy shuddered.
The building really exploded because of Vinson!
Fixing his glacial eyes on Cindy, he asked, “Have you read it?”
Yet, she didn’t dare lose her temper nor make a sound. All she could do was quietly endure Henrick’s slap.
In the end, Arielle was the one to stop Henrick. “Dad, don’t hit her anymore. Everyone’s watching. If you’re really angry, you can send Aunt Cindy and Shandie to the monastery for a while. Once she clears her mind there, you can ask her to come back.”
Snapping her head up, Cindy snarled, “How dare you try to get rid of me, Arielle?”
Pretending to be terrified, Arielle hid behind Henrick.
In the beginning, Henrick did not bear any thoughts of sending Cindy away, but when he saw the way she treated Arielle, his anger burned anew.
“It seems like you still have no idea what you’ve done wrong. Sannie’s right; you should head to the monastery with Shandie to clear your heads.”
“No, no…”
Cindy’s tone instantly weakened as she grabbed Henrick’s arm and began pleading, “Dear, I know I’ve done wrong. I shouldn’t have said Sannie’s a bringer of misfortune. I only said it because I was upset. Please let me off this time. I swear I won’t say anything like this anymore. Please forgive me!”
