Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Persuading A Child

She could not be sent to the monastery, for she did not want to see a certain sinister woman there.

Everywhere was fine but the monastery. That old woman has always been hostile toward me, and she’s a tough one to deal with.

The monastery is the one place I should never go.

Blinking, Cindy hastily said, “Actually, I’ve saved up some money of my own recently. I can use it to rebuild the office building.”

Hearing that, Henrick wavered in his decision again.

It was true that he did not have the funds to rebuild the building.

Right then, Vinson spoke.

“Mr. Southall,” he said, “since I was the one who caused the explosion in the building, I shall be the one to pay for the expenses of rebuilding the office. I’ll be covering the payment of the designs and the rebuilding. In three months, I’ll return to you a brand-new office for the Southall Group. Also, I’ll be covering for the employee’s pay for these three months, as well as the rental for the temporary office. As for the compensation for the employees’ emotional distress, you can send me an estimation of the amount after you’ve calculated it. I’ll have my finance department transfer the amount to you.”

Henrick’s eyes lit up.

The office building was old, and it was great to have it replaced. Moreover, Vinson was offering to pay for the rental of the temporary office.

In other words, he could profit from the situation.

Furthermore, Arielle had gained the loyalties of the employees during the incident. The situation was completely advantageous to him.

Yes, I love this explosion.

Henrick promptly thanked him.

However, Vinson was not done speaking yet. “But I have a request of my own.”

“Please go ahead,” Henrick swiftly replied.

Glancing at the depressed Cindy, Vinson continued, “I don’t wish to see this woman who has said I’m a bringer of misfortune.”

Instantly understanding what Vinson meant, he hesitated no second in summoning two of his subordinates. “Send her to the monastery. After sending her there, guard that place. She’s not allowed to step foot out of the monastery unless she has my permission.”

“Understood.” The subordinates then waved at Cindy and huffed, “Mrs. Southall, time to go.”

Cindy was reluctant to leave, of course, but the one who made the decision was Vinson.

Unlike Shandie, she knew when to stop. Hence, she did not continue pleading. After telling Henrick’s subordinate to wait for her for a moment, she walked toward Arielle and said in a seemingly sincere tone, “Sannie, this is all my fault. I was too anxious, so I spewed nonsense without thinking it thoroughly. Please forgive me. When I’m at the monastery, I’ll reflect on myself and pray for you and the family.”

In surprise, Arielle turned to look at Cindy.

Cindy’s smarter and better at holding herself back than Shandie.

From the corner of her eyes, Arielle could see that some of Henrick’s anger had dissipated.

After two seconds of silence, Arielle slowly said, “It’s fine, Aunt Cindy. Even if you don’t think of me as family, you’re still my Aunt Cindy. Don’t worry. Once you’ve thought things through, I’ll ask Dad to bring you back.”

Arielle’s words were effective in pulling Henrick back to her side. With a cold tone, Henrick uttered, “That’s enough. Take her away.”

Every few steps Cindy took, she turned to look at them. It was as if she truly regretted her words.

However, Henrick did not spare her another glance. After thanking Vinson again, he left with Arielle.

On their way back, Arielle received a message from Vinson: I’ve helped you get rid of your evil aunt. How will you be thanking me?
