Chapter 170 She Will Pay
“What?” Cindy was perplexed.
I have never taken laborious work my whole life!
Did Louisa hit her head or something?
Cindy rejected Louisa’s order. “Louisa, I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I don’t think I can help you with the firewood.”
“Is that so? I didn’t know you were as frail as your sister, Maureen. Despite having a weak body, your sister always does what I tell her to do. You ought to learn from her more.”
Enraged, Cindy was gritting her teeth.
She’s comparing me to a dead person huh?
Louisa continued, “Fine. If you don’t want to work, then there won’t be any food for you tonight. Shandie, you’ll have to cover for her. Come with me to the mountains after you’re done sweeping.”
“I…” Gazing at Louisa’s minatory eyes, Shandie had no choice but to comply.
Having been in the monastery for quite a while now, she was used to being pushed over by Louisa.
Cindy clenched her teeth and uttered, “I-I’ll go with you. This sort of work isn’t suitable for Shannie. She’s just a child…”
Unperturbed, Louisa turned around and left.
Shandie took the broom and continued sweeping the floor—completely ignoring Cindy.
Cindy was livid.
Arielle! We’re down to this state because of that b*tch!
Just you wait, Arielle. I’ll make sure to pay you back two-fold!
In the meantime, Arielle was waking up from her bed.
Since Cindy and Shandie weren’t around, Arielle felt refreshed. It’s nice to be free of their revolting faces for once. After getting up, Arielle ran a few laps around the manor.
My body isn’t as strong as before. Acupuncture wouldn’t have made me queasy if I were still as healthy as before.
I guess I really have to train my body consistently to stay healthy.
Just as Arielle was getting ready to take a bath, she received a call from her subordinate, who was keeping an eye on Matthias.
He must have something serious to report to me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t call me at a time like this.
Arielle locked her bedroom door before answering the phone.
“What’s wrong?” she queried as she walked toward the bathroom.
Her subordinate responded reverently, “Ms. Sannie, Matthias is currently at the airport. He isn’t bringing any luggage with him, though. He seems to be in a hurry to go somewhere. I’ve taken a peek at his flight ticket—he’s heading to Manchernius.”
“Manchernius?” Arielle frowned incredulously.
The situation over at Manchernius is dire. Why would Matthias want to go to a place like that?
“Yeah. Also, he bought the tickets rather precipitously. He must have something urgent to attend to. Should I follow him?”
“Follow him. Find out what he’s up to. Just remember to keep out of his sight. Oh and, be careful.”
“Yes, Ms. Sannie!” The subordinate hung up after that.
Arielle went into her bathroom to take her shower. Matthias must’ve gone to Manchernius on Cindy’s orders.
That being said, what does she wish to accomplish at Manchernius?
That’s okay. I believe my subordinate will find out soon enough.
Once I figure out what Matthias’ purpose at Manchernius are, I’ll be able to crush Cindy once and for all.
