Chapter 131 Pushing His Luck
Henrick was finally relieved after receiving the much needed reassurance from Arielle.
He queried further, âDid Mr. Nightshire say anything else?â
Right when Arielle was about to answer, Henrickâs phone rang.
He took a glance at it and quickly picked up the call. âHello, Mr. Chance? Continuing the collaboration?
Oh, how wonderful, thank you very much! Yes, even if we have any disagreement in the future, we
should communicate more effectively. Sure, you go ahead.â
After hanging up, Henrick stared at Arielle approvingly. âThatâs my daughter, smart and capable! The
other party has confirmed their willingness to collaborate with us.â
Arielle flashed a faint smile. Am I not smart and capable? I have to promise to make a ravioli feast for
Vinson, in exchange for that business opportunity.
Right when she wanted to respond to him, Cindy came out, all smiles. âIâve heard⦠Shannie, thanks for
saving my family.â
Arielle scrutinized Cindyâs expression and realized that she was truly glad. It did not look like she was
faking it.
Seems like Cindyâs plot is going well so far. Sheâs probably waiting to see how Iâll fall from the throne and
into a quagmire.
Arielle pretended not to suspect anything and smiled sheepishly.
The next moment, Cindy held Arielleâs hand. âIâve asked the kitchen to make some herbal soup for you.
My heart aches seeing you so tired. Go and drink it while itâs hot. Besides nourishing your body, it has
other advantages too.â
I guess the other benefit of the soup is to boost fertility, especially at this so-called critical moment.
Arielle studied Cindyâs every gesture. She must be scheming something huge this time.
Henrick was pleased to see how polite and courteous Cindy was.
Maybe I shouldnât sleep in the study room and neglected Cindy. No matter how misbehaved Shandie is,
itâs got nothing to do with Cindy. I shouldnât have blamed it on her.
âGo ahead and finish your soup. Donât waste Cindyâs effort. Weâll catch up thereafter,â Henrick advised.
As he spoke, he held Cindyâs hand like a loving couple.
If it was in the past, Arielle would have turned sour seeing such a scene. That was because she felt so
sorry for her mother. Conversely, there was no negative emotions felt by her now. She could even smile
sweetly at them. âSure, Iâll drink it now.â
This couple deserves to be with each other, or they will harm more people. Then again, Cindy might not
want to be locked down with just one manâ¦
With her own thoughts playing in her mind, Arielle strode toward the kitchen and drank the herbal soup.
Cindy was not a fool to do something nasty to the soup which others knew was served by her.
However, to be safe, Arielle smelled the soup first. The herbs would be nutritious enough to supplement
her bodyâs needs after receiving acupuncture treatments.
When she was done, Henrick asked to see her.
He requested for all the housekeepers to leave the room, keeping only Cindy by his side. Chuckling, he
asked, âLast night⦠did Mr. Nightshire promise you anything?â
Arielle nodded. âHe did mention that Nightshire Group wonât terminate our projects.â
Henrick was rather frustrated. âNo, Iâm not asking about this. Besides this⦠is there anything else? Did
he promise to marry you?â
A mocking look flitted past Arielleâs eyes. Given an inch, heâs trying to take a mile.
