Chapter 788
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Specialized Forces’ building, Henrick was awoken by Teddy’s voice.
“Dad, is this Jadeborough? The buildings here are really talll I love it here!”
“If you like it here, you should study hard when we return home. With good grades, you’ll be able to secure a good job here.”
“Oh? I’m allowed to go to school?”
“Once I get my pay, you’ll be able to go.”
“Hurray!”
Opening his eyes groggily, all Henrick heard was the word “Jadeborough.”
Going berserk again, he smashed the trunk lid like a madman. “Let me out! Let me out!”
The voices outside fell silent for a while before a lady spoke in a frosty tone. “Teddy, you guys should go in the other car as I have arranged for your accommodation. Meanwhile, I’ll tie up the loose ends.”
“Okay.”
When the sound of footsteps disappeared in the distance, Henrick was stunned.
The voice sounded like it belonged to Arielle. However, her tone was entirely different from what he usually heard
They probably share similar voices. That foolish girl isn‘t smart enough nor has the guts to take me on.
The next moment, the trunk lid opened.
This time, even though Henrick had used his hands to block the light, he could still feel the jarring pain in his eyes.
“Henrick, why don’t you move your hand and take a good look at my face?”
The moment he heard the voice, Henrick froze. Without waiting for his eyes to adjust, Henrick look right out the trunk
All he saw was a girl gloriously standing in front of him with her back to the light. The familiar features of hers were enough to mesmerize any man.
“It’s you...”
It really is Arielle!
Taking a close look, Henrick could sense that there was something different about her. Her eyes were just as sparkling but no longer had a timid glint to them. In its place, was a domineering aura befitting a queen.
However, this was a side of Arielle that he had never seen before.
Despite being able to recognize her, Henrick felt as if he hardly knew her. Lost in confusion, he didn’t know what to say.
Raising her eyebrows, Arielle asked, “What’s wrong? Do you not recognize me after just a few days?”
Her cold and intimidating tone made her feel unfamiliar to Henrick.
Surprised and terrified, he asked with a trembling voice, “You… who are you?”
“You really can’t tell.” Arielle’s smirk sent a chill down Henrick’s spine.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
With his eyes widened and pupils constricted, he asked fearfully, “Have you been pretending all this while?”
Arielle clapped her hands sarcastically. “You knew... Well, it really wasn’t easy.”
“You-” With his cheeks reddened in rage, Henrick bellowed, “What is it that you want?”
“What do I want?” Arielle stepped forward and looked down at Henrick. “My mom was brutally murdered by Cindy and you. After that, you even usurped the family business. If it wasn’t for my adopted parents, I would have died somewhere deep in the woods. So tell me, what is it that I want? Hmm?”
“You…” Henrick was shaken to the core. “You do remember and have returned to exact revenge! In fact, you had ulterior motives from the very beginning, didn’t you?”
