A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 520
In the moving car, Donovan’s eyes were locked on the scenery outside his window. His grim gaze was filled with determination.
Arielle can’t blame me for this. I have to complete my mission for my teaching career. With such a bad
influence in my class, my career would be ruined. I have no choice. I have to do this!
Meanwhile, at the Southall residence, the funeral had
just begun.
One by one, all the guests had arrived.
Cindy had changed into black mourning attire. Her makeup was elaborate and flawless, but she chose to wear a lighter shade of lipstick.
She had cried several times since she returned. After talking with Matthias over the phone, she felt calmer.
No matter how hard she cried and how upset she was, she could not bring Shandie back to life.
Knowing that, she knew that she had to pull herself together. She was determined to avenge Shandie’s death by taking Arielle’s life in return.
With that thought, Cindy picked herself up. She applied some makeup on the bridge of her nose to accentuate her features.
That morning when she saw Henrick, she had seen the desire in his eyes for her.
She knew that she had to use him in order to take revenge for Shandie.
After she finished putting on her makeup, she went downstairs, but Henrick was nowhere to be seen.
Thus, she asked Alan, “Where’s Henrick? Is he greeting the guests in the backyard?”
The latter shook his head and answered, “No. Mr. Southall informed that he needed to head out all of a sudden.”
Cindy frowned suspiciously. All the guests are here now. Where did Henrick go?
An ominous feeling began to grow in her.
Right at that moment, a housekeeper came and reported, “Mrs. Southall, there are two persons without invitation cards outside. Do you want to see them?”
Cindy hesitated and questioned, “Without invitation cards? Did they mention their identities?”
The housekeeper nodded and replied, “They’re teachers from Jadeborough University.”
“Jadeborough University…” Cindy recalled that Arielle was studying at that university. Her face fell as she waved her hand. “I’m not going to greet them. Bring
them to Arielle in the backyard.”
“All right, Mrs. Southall.” The housekeeper bowed and walked off.
Cindy turned to look at Alan, who had just secured his job as the butler not long ago. With a smile on her face, she asked, “How long have you been working here?”
Alan answered politely, “Six months now.”
“Six months…” Cindy repeated thoughtfully. She then added, “Who appointed you to the job?”
The half-witted butler did not even think before he replied, “Mr. Southall did.”
Cindy nodded before she removed one of the bangles on her wrist and handed it to Alan. “I bought this for my birthday two years ago. It’s made of jade. You can take this.”
The latter was dumbfounded. Although he was not a bright person, he knew how the previous butler was fired
Back then, Henrick was infuriated after he found out that the previous butler was bribed by Cindy.
Hence, Alan hurriedly waved his hands. “I don’t need that. I’m being paid quite a high salary, so I can’t take anything more from you. I appreciate the thought though. Please just let me know if you need anything.”
Then, he added, “I need to help out in the backyard
now.”
With a pale face, Alan fled the scene.
Cindy’s face darkened completely. Why did Henrick let him become the butler? He’s so cowardly, dumb, and uncontrollable.
With furrowed brows, she glanced around the mansion.
She figured that Alfred must have been transferred to another position or even got fired. Henrick wouldn’t have the time and effort to do this, which means Arielle must’ve done it!
Thinking about Arielle, Cindy clenched her teeth in a fury.
When she walked toward the backyard, the housekeeper had already led Donovan and Marcus there.
