Chapter 773
The inside of the barn was so dark that Arielle could not see anything at all. However, she could hear something coming from the inside, and it sounded like a person trying to shout while being gagged.
Arielle widened her eyes in an instant when she finally figured out what the surprises were.
From the look in Arielle’s eyes, Vinson could tell that she already knew what he had in store for her. “So what do you think?”
Arielle nodded in appreciation. “Let‘s go check them out.”
Taking the lead, Arielle entered the barn and was immediately greeted with the musty smell of grains.
Vinson then offered Arielle a face mask, but she turned it down and proceeded farther into the barn.
The barn was dimly lit since it had only one window, but Arielle could still make out two figures tied separately to two pillars.
Without turning on the light, she approached the two captives.
Cindy was filled with hope when she vaguely heard someone asking Vinson for money. Even though she was gagged, she tried her best to shout, hoping to attract somebody‘s attention.
Just when she and Matthias were sinking in despair,
they heard someone kicking down the barn door.
Somebody‘s finally here to rescue us! We‘re saved!
Cindy tried even harder to shout while Matthias stomped his feet repeatedly to get their supposed rescuer‘s attention.
After much effort, the two finally heard footsteps closing in on them and thought that help had arrived.
“Mmm! Mmm!” Still gagged, Cindy tried to articulate the words “save me” to no avail.
From Cindy‘s point of view, she could not see the person approaching them at all, but it was very clear for Matthias.
When their supposed rescuer turned out to be Arielle, Matthias immediately stopped struggling.
Knowing what Arielle was capable of, the man wondered if it was any better to face her instead of Henrick. However, he quickly came to a conclusion.
It can‘t get any worse than this. It won‘t be long before my body gives up on me if I continue to be imprisoned like this, not to mention that maniac‘s daily whipping. With Arielle, I might stand a chance to live and see another day.
While Matthias‘s mind was still racing, Arielle had already walked up to Cindy, who quickly lifted her head expectantly to take a good look at her supposed rescuer.
Disappointingly, Cindy realized that it was Arielle standing before her with a condescending sneer.
Like a fire being put out, the hope in Cindy‘s eyes slowly diminished until there was nothing left of it.
How can it be? Why does it have to be Arielle? Why?
After taking her sweet time savoring the confused look on Cindy‘s face, Arielle lifted her hand to remove the gag from the woman‘s mouth.
Finally able to speak properly, Cindy inquired curiously, “Why are you here, Arielle?”
Besides Henrick, Arielle was the person Cindy hated the most. She would rather die than let Arielle see what a miserable state she was in then.
Arielle then smiled devilishly at the woman in response. “And here I thought you‘ve had enough of the pigsty, but it seems like I’m mistaken. Let‘s get you back there, shall we?”
With a wave of her hand, Arielle gestured for two bodyguards to step forward.
