Chapter 40


    Feigning an innocent and happy look, Arielle nodded and eximed, “Thank you, Dad! I was just

    feeling scared to go there alone


    Henrick was over the moon. It was his fortune to have such an easily manipted daughter


    Taking back the contract, he stood up and said, “We’ll head to Nightshire Group tomorrow morning at


    ten I’ll bring you to the stylist two hours before that. It’s gettingte, so I’ll go to sleep now. You should


    rest earlier too.”


    Grabbing the opportunity, Arielle asked, “Dad, I still can’t sleep. Can I read in your study room?”


    Henrick hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. “Sure, but you can only read the books on the left


    side of the shelf Don’t touch the other


    areas.”


    “Okay, Dad” replied Arielle


    After Henrick left, the obedient look on Arielle’s face disappeared.


    Standing up, she closed the door before turning around and scrutinizing the room


    The shelves, tables and chairs were all made from luxurious rosewood. Furthermore, they looked quite


    old


    Arielle ran her fingers over the shelf. Mom has probably touched these spots before, right?


    She had lost all her childhood memories due to a high fever. All she could remember was her mother,


    She could still remember the feeling of her mother’s hands gently caressing her face. In addition to her


    gentle smile, Arielle could also remember her saying, “Run away, Sannie! When you grow up, take


    revenge for me…”


    However, she could not remember what exactly happened that prompted her mother to say that.


    When she investigated her mother’s cause of death, Arielle discovered that she had been going for


    health check-up every year. Even though her health report did not show anything wrong with her


    mental state, she hadmitted suicide due to depression,


    She had asked the doctor who gave her mother the check-up. The doctor had a strong impression of


    Mom and was certain that she did not have depression


    In that case, her mother did not die of suicide. Instead, she was murdered!


    Arielle closed her eyes. She felt ayer of mist obscuring her vision, preventing her from discovering


    the truth


    When she opened her eyes again, she could finally think and see clearly


    I will definitely discover the truth!


    Arielle rummaged through the shelf carefully, but did not discover any of her mother’s belongings.


    There was not even a photo in sight.


    Logically speaking, after someone’s wife died, he would still keep a few photographs of her.


    However, she could not spot a single momento of her mother in the study room,


    There were two possibilities for this…


    Either Henrick did not disy a photograph because he was scared that Cindy would be jealous, or he


    did not have any feelings for her mother at all. In fact, he might even have detested her.


    It was impossible for him to be scared that Cindy would be jealous. His male chauvinistic ego would


    have no room for Cindy’s crap.


    Hence, thetter exnation had a higher possibility.


    Of course, there was another alternative-Henrick was so scared of her mother that he did not even


    dare to look at her photograph


    Regardless of whether it was the second or third reason, both proved that her mother’s death was


    closely rted to Henrick


    Although others imed that Arielle’s mothermitted suicide due to depression, it was impossible


    for someone like that to tell her daughter to “run away quickly” and “take revenge” for her


    In the meantime, she had also conducted an extensive investigation on Henrick.


    Back then, the Bouthalls was just a small family in Jadeborough who owned a coal business. On the


    contrary, the Moore Group was considered one of the major corporations in Jadeborough.


    Based on her mother’s status back then, she would never have married the son of a coal mine owner


    If Henrick was someone with good morals and principles, it would still be understandable. However, he


    was the opposite.


    The investigation also revealed that they got married in a sh. After being introduced to each other,


    they married within a week


    The fact that they married was already very strange.


    After rummaging the shelf, she went to search the drawers in the desk


    There were a total of four drawers. Afterbing through the first three, Arielle still did not find


    anything. When she tried to open the fourth drawer, she realized that it was locked and she could not


    pull it out


    Just when she was about to find something to unlock it, she heard the sounds of footstepsing from


    the corridor.
