    Chapter 169: The Prohibited Drug


    After throwing the ax away, Shandie walked out of the courtyard. Fraught with remorse, Cindy went


    after Shandie to apologize to her. “I’m sorry, Shannie. I didn’t mean it. Even if you were being impudent


    just now, I shouldn’t have hit you. Tell me, has Aunt Louisa been bad-mouthing about me?” Louisa


    deplored the marriage between Cindy and Henrick. She had been disparaging Cindy ever since Cindy


    and Henrick were married. Louisa must’ve been behind this. Peeved, Shandie pushed Cindy aside and


    left without saying a word. Cindy couldn’t catch up to Shandie.


    Thus, she had no choice but to sleep on the same bed with Louisa that night. Tossing and turning on


    the bed, Cindy was having a hard time sleeping. When the next morning came, Cindy woke up with


    dark circles under her eyes. I can’t stay here any longer! I’ll go gonzo if this continues! Cindy went to a


    secluded corner before giving Matthias a call. Upon hearing Cindy’s current situation, Matthias


    immediately replied, “I’ll send someone over to pick you up now! We shouldn’t care about the assets of


    the Southall Group anymore. Just get back here right now and tell Henrick that you’re going to divorce


    him!” “I can’t divorce him now!” “Why? You were left in the monastery by him.


    Do you still think that he cares about you?” Matthias lowered his voice, “Cin,e and live with me


    instead. I will treat you well!” Cindy wasforted by his words. “It’s not that I don’t want to live with


    you, but I just can’t right now. I assume you already knew about the incident regarding the copse of


    Southall Group’s building. But what you don’t know is that Vinson is willing to pay for the aftermath of


    this incident. Knowing Henrick, he’ll use this chance to wring out as much money as he can from


    Vinson. By then, we should make moves of our own and try to take the money from him. Not to


    mention, we can also use this opportunity to get the directors on our side,” exined Cindy.

    Matthias was pensive. “T-Then what should we do now? Henrick has eyes all over the monastery right


    now. You can’t do anything while you’re in there.” Cindy was reticent for a few seconds. “That’s why I


    need to get out of here as soon as possible. To that end, I need you to prepare a certain drug for me.”


    “What kind of drug?” After hearing the name of the drug from Cindy, Matthias hurriedly went to do some


    research on it. He was quick to discover the ce which sold that sort of prohibited drugs. “I’ll go and


    buy the drug right now. However, there’s a small problem.


    This drug requires daily consumption to work. Once you stop taking the medication, the symptoms will


    be obvious.” “It’s ok. I’ll drink it every day if that’s what it takes. You should just focus on getting me the


    drug.” “Okay. I’ll personally go abroad to buy the drug.” After the call ended, the frustration that had


    been gripping Cindy’s chest finally loosened a little. Cindy turned around and saw Shandie sweeping


    the floor from a distance.


    Seeing that, she dashed over to Shandie and grabbed her arm. “Shannie, why are you up so early


    today? Also, why are you bothering yourself with this mundane task?” Shandie shook off Cindy’s hand


    and gave her a sneer. “You’ll need to do it too eventually.” “I’ve been looking all over for you. Where on


    earth have you been?” The voice of Louisa was heard behind them.


    Cindy turned her head around and was met with Louisa, who was walking toward her in a green dress.


    In Louisa’s hand was another green dress made from coarse cloth. “Louisa…” Before Cindy could


    finish her sentence, Louisa lobbed the dress onto Cindy and uttered, “I don’t like people cking off.


    Change these gaudy clothes that you’re wearing right now and get back to work. I need you to carry


    the firewood in the mountains.”
