Chapter 792
Meanwhile, Henrick began to tremble when he heard their conversation.
“Arielle, although I‘m not your biological father, I have raised you for many years. Don‘t be ungrateful by sending me to prison!”
“Ungrateful?” Arielle snorted. “Aren‘t you my mom‘s murderer?”
“T–it wasn‘t me. I didn‘t kill her! Cindy is the one responsible! She contacted an old lady who threatened me into pushing Maureen off the building. Sannie, you have to believe me!”
Arielle‘s ears pricked when she heard the words “old lady.” Squinting her eyes, she asked, “Do you still remember what she looks like?”
Henrick shook his head. “It happened so long ago that I don‘t remember. The only impression I had was that she had a big mole on her eyebrows.”
“Mmm-hmm. Is that it?”
“That‘s all I can remember.” Henrick was on the brink of tears.
What will happen to me if I‘m locked up in prison?
He had always loved fame and fortune. The moment he was jailed, he would lose everything.
Arielle cleared her throat again. Before Henrick could plead for mercy, she plainly declared, “Good. You are no longer of any value to me. Vinson, take him away. I don‘t ever want to see his face again.”
“Sure.” With a wave of his hand, two bodyguards dragged Henrick out of the trunk and headed into the Specialized Forces‘ detention area.
When Henrick realized where he was, his knees buckled at once.
“Specialized Forces… why am I here? I don‘t want to go in. I rather go to prison!”
Vinson sneered, “Don‘t worry. You will be spending time in both places for a long while.”
Amidst the height of the controversy, Henrick would be sentenced via the usual legal avenues. After that, he would be transferred to the Specialized Forces‘ prison where he would suffer terribly for the rest of his life.
Just like Cindy, he would be tormented by a fate worse than death.
After glancing at Henrick‘s silhouette, Arielle asked Vinson with an uncertain tone, “Wouldn‘t it have been better if I personally imprisoned and tortured him instead of relying on the law?”
Reaching out to rub Arielle‘s hand, Vinson reminded, “It‘s not worth breaking the law over someone like that. After all, he is human and has many contacts in Jadeborough. If someone lodges a missing person’s report to the police, we could be in a lot of trouble.”
Arielle nodded. “You‘re right. I still need to exact my revenge upon that mysterious person. Hence, it‘s not worth being ruined alongside Henrick.”
Vinson was stunned. “That‘s not what I meant. Shouldn‘t you think about yourself for once? Why dont you consider stopping here? From what Cindy says, those people are not to be trifled with.”
Arielle knitted her eyebrows. “Given how far I have come, there‘s no way I can stop. Furthermore, the
old lady which Cindy and Henrick had mentioned is the true mastermind. How can I ever forgive them? No matter who or where they are, I will seek revenge on behalf of my mom!”
Having failed to persuade Arielle, there was nothing much Vinson could do.
At that moment, Arielle received a message notification on her phone.
When she checked, she realized it was from Trisha.
“Who sent you the message?” Vinson leaned over to sneak a peek
A few seconds later, he pursed his lips and remarked, “is that friend of yours again. She‘s actually reminding you of your exam in two days‘ time and wants you to go back to school to study”
“What‘s with the snarky tone? Why are you jealous of a girl?”
