Cindy was mad. “What are you implying?”
Arielle was about to explain when Vinson took out the paternity test report and tossed it in front of
Cindy.
With just one glance at the report, Arielle already knew what it was. She asked with confusion, “Why
did you bring this with you?”
Vinson nodded. “I thought those villagers would not listen to you because they thought you’re Henrick‘s
daughter, so I brought this over just in case. I didn’t know I’d be using this right now instead of with the
villagers.”
Arielle smiled upon hearing that. It felt great to embarrass Cindy.
Cindy was still pinned in place, and she couldn‘t see the report clearly.
Vinson ordered, “Take this to her.”
“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard immediately picked up the paternity test report and showed it to Cindy.
Cindy bent down a little in confusion. After scanning through the report, her pupils dilated in shock. “No
way!”
Arielle explained faintly, “The report is from the Rocher Private Hospital, and it‘s accurate for sure.
Cindy, you and Henrick are the pitiful ones, not me. My mom had been keeping you two in the dark,
and you’re still living in her shadows even after she died. Isn‘t that pathetic?”
“No way! This is impossible!” Cindy screamed her heart out.
“Otherwise, why would my mom marry someone like Henrick? Was it because he had poor hygiene or
because he was capable of killing her?”
Cindy was already trembling all over upon hearing that.
She was still making fun of Arielle before this, and yet Arielle‘s words were like a huge slap across her
face.
“No…”
As if she had suffered from a great blow, Cindy suddenly felt a surge of liquid rise in her throat, and she
spat out a mouthful of blood.
Matthias, who was tied to the pillar, immediately asked Arielle, “Can you let us go already now that Cin
has told you everything?”
Arielle raised her eyebrows. “I still have questions.”
Cindy was heaving in pain. “I‘ve told you everything. What else do you want to know?”
Arielle crouched down in front of her. “I want to know who‘s that man and that old woman you‘ve
mentioned.”
There were other culprits behind this. Now that she had taken care of Henrick and Cindy, she would
have to target the other two next.
“I–I don‘t know…” Cindy shook her head in panic. “I only know that they‘re powerful… With just one
leap, they can jump onto the manor‘s wall. They aren‘t humans!”
Arielle frowned. “What on earth are you talking about?”
“I’m telling you the truth! She made it obvious that she looked down on Maureen. As the Moores were
on par with the four most prominent families in Jadeborough back then, it must mean that their status
was at least beyond the Moores to be acting like this. How could I know who they are when they
deliberately hid their identities from me? I can only say that they aren‘t humans at all. M–Maybe they‘re
even ghosts…”
Arielle‘s expression darkened. “Cindy, you must be out of your mind.”
“Think what you want then!”
Noticing Cindy‘s determined look, Arielle was confused.
Is Cindy telling the truth? Is it even possible for someone to jump onto the manor‘s wall with just one
leap? It‘s at least two meters tall!
However, Arielle was too immersed in her thoughts to notice the look in Vinson‘s eyes.
He got reminded of the rumors Susanne told him about
Turlen.
Could the rumors be true?
