    Chapter 190 Bringing Shandie Home,A Beauty with Multiple Masks


    Arielle noted that Henrick was in high spirits and smiled demurely at him. “Actually, I received


    invitations for two events tonight. The first is for a banquet that Mr. Nightshire is also attending, and the


    other is for Yvette’s birthday party. However, the timing between them is rather tight, so…” Without a


    second thought, Henrick replied, “Of course you should go to the banquet with Mr. Nightshire! Sannie,


    Dad knows that you’re still young and naive, but you should know how to differentiate important events


    from the less significant ones.” “I know,” Arielle said, nodding.


    “Isn’t Yvette engaged to Jordan, though? Besides, she sent the invitation to me, and if I don’t show up,


    I’m afraid that the Bakers might say…” At that moment, Henrick was still unaware that the Bakers had


    decided to withdraw from the marriage arrangement with the Actonwards. Henrick’s expression thus


    looked rather uneasy. The Actonwards were arge and distinguished family but were no match for


    Vinson. However, the matter took on a more delicate nature with the Bakers in the picture. Henrick was


    torn between both choices.


    Arielle pretended to weigh both options equally, then concluded, “I thought of a n. We can get


    Shannie toe back and attend Yvette’s birthday party instead! We’ll avoid offending either party,


    then.” Henrick’s face immediately turned dark when he heard the mention of Shandie’s name. He


    vividly recalled that he had almost lost Nightshire Group as a client because of her. Testily, Henrick


    retorted, “That foolish, incorrigible girl! She’ll only embarrass herself and the rest of us if she represents


    us at the birthday party.” Arielle then innocently replied, “You can’t leave Shandie at the monastery


    forever though.

    She’ll have to get married eventually. Aunt Cindy might be able to reflect somewhat, but it’d be better if


    you bring Shandie home to keep a watchful eye on her. Who knows if Aunt Cindy is tainting her mind


    with all sorts of irrepressible ideas over there?” Henrick felt himself wavering. During the process of


    purging thepany, Henrick discovered that Cindy had bought over multiple directors. Indeed, she


    might corrupt Shandie instead of teaching her how to behave properly.


    If Shandie took after Cindy’s wicked ways, it would be an uphill task to find someone who would be


    willing to marry her. Henrick soon became convinced that bringing Shandie back home was the most


    sensible solution. Having thus made up his mind, Henrick nodded fervently. “All right, let here


    home then! If she refuses to mend her stupid temper and behave ordingly, I’ll ship her back to the


    monastery so she can spend the rest of her life there!” Arielle immediately praised Henrick’s decision,


    ttering him by saying, “Dad, I knew that you always had your children’s best interests at heart.


    I’m sure that Shandie has turned over a new leaf. I’ll go and bring her back home myself.” Henrick


    looked at Arielle with pride. I’m d Arielle isn’t petty. After all, family members shouldn’t bear grudges


    against each other, Henrick thought approvingly. Henrick nodded, smiling affectionately at Arielle. “I’m


    d that you’re so mature, Arielle. Go on and fetch her. Don’t tire yourself out on the journey!” “Sure,


    Dad. I’ll leave once I’ve gotten changed,” Arielle replied, already turning to head back up the stairs.


    “OK, I’ll get the driver to wait for you at the door.


    I’ll be off to work now,” Henrick called, getting to his feet. “See you, Dad!” Arielle chirped, waving at


    him. She watched as Henrick shut the door and got into his car before ascending the stairs. Arielle did


    not truly want Shandie’s return, of course. However, Cindy and Yvette had alreadyid the trap, and


    Arielle needed a substitute to take the fall. Once Shandie returned, she would take up her position in


    Arielle’s perfect scheme.


    Arielle had barely shut the door when the butler came rapping sharply on it. She flung open the door


    and was unsurprised to see Alfred standing outside. Larissa, the maid who Arielle had secretly bought


    over, had once given Arielle a list of Cindy’s secret allies. Alfred’s name had been right at the top of that


    list. Arielle put up a naive face and asked, “Alfred, is there anything I can help you with?”
