Soon, Wendy arrived at the Southall residence.
Cindy was still locked up in her room, while Malorie’s ashes were still in the backyard. Although she was already cremated, the
funeral was still three days away.
For the past two days, Henrick had been looking for someone to take over the company and wanted to sell his shares and assets at
the best price possible. He did not need to leave the house to do all that, so Wendy found him as soon as she arrived.
“Mr. Southall, my nis Wendy Greene. My family is the founder of Greene Corporation in Horington, of which my father is the
chairman.”
Once he heard Wendy's self-introduction, a pleasant smile spread across Henrick’s face, and he enthusiastically asked the
housekeeper to pour her a cup of tea. “Did your father send you because he’s interested in buying my shares?”
“Your shares?” Wendy shook her head as she explained, “No, I'm here because of something else. It's Arielle. I'm her classmate, as

Henrick’s face clouded over the moment he heard Arielle’s name, and he almost wanted to shoo Wendy out of his house.
However, on second thought, he remembered he had yet to get back the shares he gave Arielle before this. Thus, he could only
force suppress his irritation and asked, “What's up with her?”
“It's this.” Wendy opened up the school forum's page and showed him the photo. “This girl looks a lot like Arielle, and she didn’t
cto school today as well. | was just worried that she might have done something silly and cover the moment | saw this
post. As you know, Mr. Southall, my family is largely based in Horington. We don’t have many connections here and definitely,
would not dare to simply barge into the hotel...”
Taking over the phone, Henrick saw only the back of the girl who was held in the man’s arms, but he thought she indeed looked
eighty percent similar to Arielle.
Added with the fact that Wendy just mentioned that Arielle did not turn up in school on that day, Henrick was one hundred percent
certain the person in the photo could be no one else but Arielle.
His face darkened, he immediately roared with fury, “This girl has no sense of shat all! How dare she do all this shameless
stuff and continue to embarrass me! And now, she’s even hooked up with her teacher? What nonsense is this!”
Arielle promptly advised him, “Mr. Southall, now's not the tto be angry. Arielle isn’t in any way that kind of girl. Maybe Mr.
Baxter... Why don’t you go and have a look, Mr. Southall? What if Arielle’s the victim in this
case?”
In fact, Henrick could not care less about whatever disaster struck Arielle. However, he thought about the fact that Arielle was
secretly married to Vinson.
If Vinson sees this, then | might get embroiled in this mess as well!
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Finally, he slammed his hand on the table and asked, “Which hotel is
she at? Taketo her at once!”
“Yes, Mr. Southall.” That was precisely what Wendy wanted to hear. Without further ado, she /ed him straight to Grandview Hotel.
On the way there, Henrick pondered deeply about the current situation and figured there was no better moment to snatch back
Arielle’s shares than now.

Regardless of whether she had gone to the hotel willingly or not, sleeping with her teacher was a very disgraceful act.
He planned to offer to help her suppress the scandalous news. In exchange, she would have to give up her shares to him.
He figured she would not want Vinson to know about this scandal and would have no option other than to rely on him to cover it. To
him, it was a simple feat as he could easily hire someone to do with a small fee.
Hmm, what a great idea indeed!
Henrick felt extremely pleased with himself and urged the driver to speed up.
Meanwhile, Wendy was not idling around either. She
had just sent Susanne a text to inform her about the incident.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the hotel.
To their surprise, there was already a huge crowd of reporters at the entrance, blocked by the hotel's security from entering
