Chapter 131,A Beauty with Multiple Masks
Henrick was finally relieved after receiving the much needed reassurance from Arielle. He queried
further, “Did Mr. Nightshire say anything else?” Right when Arielle was about to answer, Henrick’s phone
rang. He took a glance at it and quickly picked up the call. “Hello, 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.” After hanging up, Henrick stared at Arielle approvingly. “That’s my daughter, smart
and capable! The other party has confirmed their willingness to collaborate with us.” Arielle flashed a

exchange for that business opportunity. Right when she wanted to respond to him, Cindy came out, all
smiles. “I’ve heard… Shannie, thanks for saving my family.”
Arielle scrutinized Cindy’s expression and realized that she was truly glad. It did not look like she was
faking it. Seems like Cindy’s plot is going well so far. She’s probably waiting to see how I’ll fall from the
throne and into a quagmire. Arielle pretended not to suspect anything and smiled sheepishly. The next
moment, Cindy held Arielle’s hand. “I’ve asked the kitchen to make some herbal soup for you. My heart
aches seeing you so tired.
Go and drink it while it’s hot. Besides nourishing your body, it has other advantages too.” I guess the
other benefit of the soup is to boost fertility, especially at this so-called critical moment. Arielle studied
Cindy’s every gesture. She must be scheming something huge this time. Henrick was pleased to see
how polite and courteous Cindy was. Maybe I shouldn’t sleep in the study room and neglected Cindy. No
matter how misbehaved Shandie is, it’s got nothing to do with Cindy.
I shouldn’t have blamed it on her. “Go ahead and finish your soup. Don’t waste Cindy’s effort. We’ll catch
up thereafter,” Henrick advised. As he spoke, he held Cindy’s 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.

again, Cindy might not want to be locked down with just one man… 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 body’s 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, “Last night… did Mr. Nightshire
promise you anything?” Arielle nodded. “He did mention that Nightshire Group won’t terminate our
projects.”
Henrick was rather frustrated. “No, I’m not asking about this. Besides this… is there anything else? Did
he promise to marry you?” A mocking look flitted past Arielle’s eyes. Given an inch, he’s trying to take a
mile.
