Chapter 776

Cindy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I managed to contact some people. Their leader was a
graceful old woman, who also seems to be his elder. She said that he had a fiancée already, and she
didn‘t want him and Maureen to be involved with each other anymore. We were on the same page
about getting rid of Maureen, and then we told Henrick about this. He couldn‘t stand Maureen‘s
arrogance as well. That was why he joined us.”

Arielle narrowed her eyes. “What happened next?”

Cindy reminisced and said, “It was one bright sunny day. Henrick agreed to divorce her, but he wished
she would give us her blessings. We invited her for a meal in a hotel, and she agreed to come.”

Vinson said coldly, “I guess she didn‘t know it was a trap.”

Cindy sneered. “You’re right. She came without her bodyguards. I guess she didn’t want the public to
know. She brought over the household registry with her, perhaps she wanted to divorce him right after
the meal. Henrick and I drugged her food, but she somehow figured that out, and she defeated all my
subordinates before making her escape…”.

Arielle clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her urge to strangle Cindy.

Cindy continued saying, “She was an idiot. She could have survived if she ran away and disappeared.
But instead, she returned to the manor to look for you. Fortunately, the old woman arrived in time with
her subordinates at the manor.”

Speaking of this, a hint of terror flashed across in Cindy‘s expression as if she had thought of
something scary.

“Keep talking!” Arielle urged.



Cindy‘s lips curled into a mocking smile. “She was not their opponent at all. They took her down right
away. The old woman then suggested faking her suicide. She helped Henrick and me to move
Maureen back to Jadeborough. They made us push her down from the thirty–eighth floor.”

Arielle was trembling upon hearing that.

Poor Mom!

Cindy was already losing it at this point. She raised her chin at Cindy. “Do you want to know what she
said before they pushed her down?”

“What?”

“She told us to… spare your life.”

Arielle‘s eyes reddened as a tear rolled down her cheeks.

Cindy laughed wildly at the sight of Arielle crying. “Henrick pitied her. He told us not to kill you, saying
that you‘re his daughter after all. But then, how could I let you get away with this? I didn’t want to alert
him by killing you, and that was why I found someone else to kidnap you instead.”

Cindy then shook her head and continued saying, “Now that I think of it, I should‘ve just killed you
instead. I’m sure Henrick suspected me of kidnapping you, but he didn’t make a police report, nor did
he take revenge on me. Perhaps he wanted to get rid of you as well.”

She seemed to be enjoying Arielle‘s expression as she continued saying with a sympathetic
expression, “How pity… Your mom died, and your dad wished he could have died with her too. You’re
still alive but your family doesn‘t even care for you. What a pity…”

Cindy was waiting for Arielle to react with either an angry or a heartbroken expression.



To her surprise, Arielle curled her lips and slowly formed a smile.

Cindy‘s face fell.

“What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh after hearing this?”

“Because you‘re an idiot.”
