Chapter 791

Vinson was stumped by Henrick’s reaction.

He was astounded that Henrick was more concerned about whether he was cheated upon than the fact
that he had murdered someone.

“Since he is desperate to know, you should tell him, Sannie.”

Sweeping her gaze at Henrick, she explained, “To be honest, my mom never let you touch her as she
didn’t have any feelings for you. She simply married you for expediency’s sake. However, she didn’t
expect to have let the fox into the henhouse and brought about her own death.”

With a scowl on his face, Henrick bellowed, “That’s impossible! Impossible! On the night we got married,
we-”

Before he finished, Henrick fell silent.

He suddenly remembered that he had only slept with Maureen once, which was on their wedding night.

That day, he had a lot to drink and didn’t remember what they did in bed. The only thing he recalled was
seeing some bloodstains on the sheet when he awoke the next day.

At that time, he didn’t think too much about it and attributed his memory loss to being drunk.

But now that he thought about it, he could sense that something was amiss.

Setting aside the fact that Maureen had always been cold to him, he realized that it didn’t make sense for
a married couple to have only made love once.

Evidently, Arielle isn‘t my daughter, and I have raised someone else‘s child all this while!



As rage swelled within him, Henrick screamed with his bloodshot eyes, “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

“Please don’t get confused.” Leaning into Henrick, Arielle coldly remarked, “You are now on the chopping
block, while I’m the one holding the knife. The one in control right now isn’t you. Henrick, tell me, how
should I torment you to death? Should I chop off your legs first or your hands? Let me think….





Since you used those hands to push my mom…”

“No, no…” Seized by fear eventually, Henrick yelled, “Murder is a crime! Don’t you dare openly do this to

me!”

Arielle slapped him at once.

After that, she wiped her hands as if she had touched something filthy. “Don’t worry, just like how you
treated Cindy, I too won’t let you die easily. That would be letting you off too lightly. We will settle the
score one by one, starting with the villagers…”

Straightening her posture, Arielle turned to Vinson. “The materials I have prepared have already been
sent out.”

“Alright, I’ll liaise with the courts…”

Just as he spoke, Vinson suddenly thought of someone. He reminded Arielle, “Sannie, if you want to
take the legal route, why don’t you contact your grand-disciple?”

“Grand-disciple?” Momentarily surprised, Arielle asked, “Do you mean Ev? The old chess fanatic’s
student?”



“Mmm-hmm. Mr. Eakins has just been promoted two months ago. I’m afraid he is higher in rank than all
the people I know in the courts.”

“In that case, I’ll contact him right away. However, I’m not sure if he is willing to get involved,” Arielle
mumbled as she gave Everett a call.

Once the call connected, Arielle explained her objective. At the same time, she was worried that Everett
might think something that trivial was beneath him if he was as important as Vinson made him out to be.

Contrary to her expectations, she heard Everett’s enthusiastic reply. “Yes, Grandmaster! Your problems
are mine too. I will resolve them to the best of my abilities. Send me all the details, and I’ll sentence him
to one hundred years in prison.”

“Erm…”

His response wasn’t what she expected at all. It was now obvious that Everett was a chess fanatic
through and through.
