Chapter 542

A Beauty With Multiple Masks

She was curious as to how Arielle would react to the news.

The reason Henrick defended Arielle was that she was his only child left. Now that he thought he’d have
a son, she wasn’t that important to him anymore.

If Cindy used Malorie to sow discord between Arielle and Vinson now, and they broke up, would Henrick
still defend Arielle?

The answer was no.

Without having a rich son-in-law like Vinson around, Henrick will definitely turn a blind eye to whatever I
do to her. As long as I make sure not to leave any traces behind, I shall be able to avenge Shandie soon!

Cindy was both curious and excited to find out Arielle’s reaction. However, when her gaze landed on
Arielle, she only saw the latter’s slight smile.

Her smile showed no hint of anger or alarm. It seemed that her congratulations were sincere.

She’s congratulating me sincerely? The person who killed her mother? That’s impossible! Did she see
through me? That sounds impossible, too.

Contrary to her expectation, she felt a chill go down her spine.

Cindy immediately hung her head low and gave Henrick a slight shove. “Rick, we’re at the hospital.

Let’s talk back home.”

Henrick released his grip on her as though he had just realized that fact. “Yes, you’re right,” he exclaimed
gleefully. “Let’s go home and tell Mom about it. I bet she’ll be delighted to hear the news!”



With that, he helped Cindy walk in an exaggeratedly careful manner, as though he was afraid she’d slip
and fall any minute.

She was pregnant with his son, and he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to his beloved son.

They held hands and walked out of the hospital.

Cindy sped up and left Arielle behind. The latter couldn’t help but wonder if she had done this on
purpose.





Once Cindy entered the car, she told the chauffeur, “Leave now. I don’t want to suffer any longer.”

Henrick immediately urged, “Hurry up and drive!”

Arielle hadn’t gotten into the car yet, so the chauffeur was about to remind them when Henrick ordered,
“What are you waiting for? Can’t you see Mrs. Southall’s feeling uncomfortable?”

The chauffeur had to swallow his words, for he knew Henrick would fire him if he delayed any further.

When Arielle made it past the crowd and arrived by the

road, she was greeted by the exhaust of the car speeding away.

Henrick had left her behind!

I’m no longer important to him now that he has a son. Whatever. It’s better if his attention isn’t on me
anyway.



Nevertheless, she was a human being with feelings. It still felt dreadful to be left behind.

As bitterness rose in her heart, she massaged her temples and chided herself for being too sensitive.

Sighing, she stretched out a hand to hail a cab. Before she could do so, a car with the Morgans’ family
insignia rolled to a stop before her.

Looking up, she saw Carter heading her way.

“Chief,” he greeted her.

At the sight of him, Arielle flashed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry to drag your hospital into the mess.”

Carter gave a dismissive wave. “I’ve sorted everything out. Our hospital only hires doctors with integrity.
Cindy must be lying. It would happen even if you were not there. Besides, this hospital’s location isn’t
that

great. We were already planning on shutting it down this year and sending the doctors to other hospitals.
Don’t blame yourself,” he assured her.

“Thank you for your comforting words.”

“I’m not comforting you. I’m just stating the truth,” Carter said. He pointed somewhere and requested, “If
you feel sorry, can you help me with something? Actually, can you help Vin out?”
