Arielle nodded as she knew Larissa was speaking all the truth she knew. “Alright, that’s all for today Tell me again if you
rernernber anything.”
“Okay Is there anything else you want me to do?”
Anelle shook her head. “Not for the moment. I’ll find you if I need you. You continue to work for Aunt Cindy and don’t let her
suspect anything. One more thing, please prepare a list for me. I want to know who is on her side in this house.”
“Understood, Ms Anelle. Then I’ll excuse myself.” Larissa bowed gratefully to Arielle and left with the flight tickets and the name
card
After Larissa left. Arielle sat alone in the room, pondering for a long while.
After she cleared her thoughts, she took out her phone to check her messages.
She saw a bref, straightforward message from Vinson: Come over when you’re free and help us to locate the man
Without wasting any time, Anelle turned on her computer and started pinpointing the location
She tried her best to narrow down the scope. Even so, there were still quite a few private islands that matched the search.
By the time Anelle sent the location, Cindy had also just arrived at the monastery entrance.
Just when she got off her car, Louisa walked out with a cold expression and said rudely, “Are you guys treating here as a motel?”
Cindy let out an unnatural smile and greeted her,
“Hello, Louisa.”
Louisa’s stare was still cold. “We have a lot of pilgrims at the moment, and we have not enough rooms. So you’ll stay in the same
room with me.”
Upon hearing that, Cindy’s expression stiffened. “How could I interrupt your meditation? I’ll stay with Shannie.”
Shannie?” Louisa smiled awkwardly. “I’ve asked her about that, but she’s reluctant to stay with you.
Cindy lifted her head in awe. “That’s impossible.”
“Feel free to ask her yourself,“ Louisa said indifferently while heading into the monastery.
Later, Cindy asked for directions along the way and finally found Shandie, who was chopping
the wood up.
From afar, she could see clearly that Shandie’s face had turned pale and tired compared to a few days before.
She was heartbroken as she stepped forward to grab the ax in Shandie’s hand. “Why’re you doing such harsh work? Look at
your skin!”
Shandie snatched back the ax coldly, without even looking at Cindy. “You’ll need to do it starting from tomorrow until Dad decides
to fetch us back home”
Both of them were in total blind that Arielle had blocked all their letters.
That explained why Shandie acted so cold towards Cindy, as she thought the latter had been ignoring all her letters.
Disappointed by Cindy. Shandie felt that she could only count on herself.
The main priority within these walls was not how to protect her skin but to please Louisa in order not to starve.
Cindy noticed Shandie’s peculiar behavior towards her. “Shannie, is this how you speak to your own mother?”
Shandie cast a resentful smile. “Mother? Do you think you deserve that title? Don’t think I’m a fool. I know that you’re with
another man beside Dad”
“You what’s wrong with you? Are you trying to piss me off?” Exasperated by those words, Cindy uncontrollably threw a slap on
Shandie ‘s face
A loud smack was heard
Dumbfounded, Shandie covered her face with both hands.
With that Shandie’s gaze turned extremely malicious.
She even started to suspect if she was really Cindy’s birth daughter.
