Chapter 275


    “Enough! Stop it!” Russell leaped into action and dragged Cindy away from Henrick.


    Pain squeezed her head, and she felt her legs go limp. Russell had to support her.


    Clenching his jaw, Henrick dered, “Russell, stay out of this. I shall beat her to a pulp today!”


    Russell stood in front of Cindy in a protective manner. He had one arm before her and another on


    Henrick’s chest. “Rick, calm down. You’ll have to go to jail if you kill her.”


    Henrick regained hisposure at his words. The menacing re in his eyes faded away.


    “That’s right. Take a few deep breaths to calm down,” Russell advised.


    Cindy stood behind Russell, watching as the raging Henrick simmered down. She took one look at


    Russell, who seemed torn. Her mind turned nk briefly before the wheels in her head started turning.


    If Henrick isn‘t dead, whose funeral is this?


    Could it be Arielle‘s? She‘s from the countryside, so it‘s possible that she died after failing to adjust to th


    e new environment


    Cindy nced around, but Arielle was nowhere to be seen. Is Arielle dead for real?


    Delight, disappointment, and regret filled her heart at that thought.


    She was delighted that the annoying Arielle was finally dead, but she felt disappointed at the fact that


    Henrick was still alive. She also regretted not finding out who was in the coffin before wailing her heart


    out


    An array of emotions shed across Cindy’s face.


    In the end, she calmed herself down and shot Henrick a pitiful look. “I’m sorry, Rick. I was too upset


    and got a little lost. I didn’t mean to curse you.”


    The sight of the blood on her forehead and her tears softened Henrick’s heart.


    He knew how much Cindy adored Shandie,


    so it was normal for her to lose her sanity now that Shandie was dead.


    Sighing, Henrick realized he couldn’t bring himself to yell at Cindy. He averted his gaze and said,


    “Forget it. Go take onest look at Shandie. It’s almost time to shut the coffin.”


    Cindy nched at his words. “W-What did you say? Shandie?”


    Displeasure rose in Henrick’s heart as he


    furrowed his brows. “Of course it’s Shandie. Who else could it be?”


    Cindy chortled, refusing to believe his words. She lost her mind and blurted out, “Arielle’s dead, right? It


    can’t be my Shannie. Rick, you’re joking, right?”


    My Shannie‘s a healthy young girl. How could she die at a young age?


    “Nonsense!” Henrick balled his fists. “Arielle’s alive and well! She has just…” He trailed off upon


    realizing it wasn’t time to reveal Arielle and Vinson’s marriage. “Shandie’s dead! She had a rpsest


    night without warning, and we discovered her dead body this morning. Hurry, go pay


    your respects to her!”


    “No! Impossible!” Cindy screamed her lungs out.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    There’s no way Shandie dead!
