Chapter 96


    “Mom! I can’t take it any longer. I want Arielle to move out now and disappear from my sight! I never


    want to see her again!” she dered the moment she stepped into the house. Cindy was busy dealing


    with her secret overseas slush fund, so she replied impatiently, “I know you don’t like her. Do you think I


    like her?


    I told you we need to wait for an opportunity to make her slip.” It didn’t matter whether Arielle grew up in


    the countryside or not, for she was just a young girl in her twenties. Arielle was young, so it was pretty


    easy for her tomit a mistake, especially when it concerned her love life. Cindy was already busy


    finding the perfect candidate to seduce Arielle. Right then, she was irritated by how Shandie was


    kicking up a fuss.


    If Shandie was half as clever as Arielle, I wouldn’t have to do so much. As Cindy ignored her, Shandie


    grew increasingly antsy. “Mom, it can’t wait! If this goes on, we shall be the ones who get kicked out!”


    Cindy continued typing furiously on the keyboard and replied without looking up, “Don’t worry. You’ll be


    fine as long as you shoot your film obediently. Stop provoking Arielle behind my back.” Shandie bit her


    lips as her face turned ashen.

    She had no idea how to inform Cindy about the earlier incident at the film set. Shandie’s sudden


    silence had Cindy feeling puzzled. Thetter looked at her daughter quizzically. It suddenly urred to


    her that Shandie should be on the film set instead of at home. She shut herptop and asked, “Why are


    you home at this hour?


    Are you done for the day?” In response, Shandie stuttered, “Uh, something happened at the film set.


    I… Uh, they said…” Cindy’s scowl deepened. She knew her daughter well enough to know that


    something had happened. “What on earth happened!” she demanded sternly. Shocked by Cindy’s


    expression, Shandie’s eyes reddened as she exined hastily, “Arielle took the female lead role away


    from me. I can’t resume shooting, and I also have topensate them one hundred million for


    breaching the contract.


    Mom, I need your help!” Cindy’s eyes widened in shock. “What did you say? She took away your role,


    and you have topensate one hundred million for breaching the contract?” Shandie nodded


    profusely. “Yes, she brought Mr. Nightshire to the set to insult me! Mom, I can’t take it anymore.


    You need to help me. That country bumpkin bullies me! After what her mom did to you, are you going


    to let her daughter bully me?” “Shut up!” Cindy mmed the table in fury. She had lost it at the mention


    of Maureen. Her eyes reddened while her face contorted in anger.


    Shandie knew her mom would lose it when she mentioned Maureen, but she had no idea it would be


    such an intense reaction. Her body was shuddering in fear, but deep down, she was pleased by


    Cindy’s reaction. Mom has been living peacefully for too long. I need to provoke her so she regains her


    senses.


    “Where is Arielle?” Cindy choked out. Shandie’s right. Maureen has always been above me. Even


    though she’s dead, thedies in Jadeborough have alwayspared us in secret. I can’t let her


    daughter bully my daughter. No way!
