A Beauty with Multiple Masks

Feigning an innocent and happy look, Arielle nodded and exclaimed, “Thank you, Dad! I was just

feeling scared to go there alone.” Henrick was over the moon. It was his fortune to have such an easily

manipulated daughter. Taking back the contract, he stood up and said, “We’ll head to Nightshire Group

tomorrow morning at ten. I’ll bring you to the stylist two hours before that. It’s getting late, so I’ll go to

sleep now. A Beauty With Multiple Masks

You should rest earlier too.” Grabbing the opportunity, Arielle asked, “Dad, I still can’t sleep. Can I read

in your study room?” Henrick hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. “Sure, but you can only read

the books on the left side of the shelf. Don’t touch the other areas.” “Okay, Dad,” replied Arielle. After Henrick

left, the obedient look on Arielle’s face disappeared. Standing up, she closed the door before turning around and scrutinizing the

room. The shelves, tables and chairs were all made from luxurious rosewood. Furthermore, they looked quite old.

Arielle ran her fingers over the shelf. Mom has probably touched these spots before, right? She had

lost all her childhood memories due to a high fever. All she could remember was her mother. She could

still remember the feeling of her mother’s hands gently caressing her face. In addition to her gentle

smile, Arielle could also remember her saying, “Run away, Sannie!

When you grow up, take revenge for me…” However, she could not remember what exactly happened

that prompted her mother to say that. When she investigated her mother’s cause of death, Arielle

discovered that she had been going for health check-up every year. Even though her health report did

not show anything wrong with her mental state, she had committed suicide due to depression. She had

asked the doctor who gave her mother the check-up. The doctor had a strong impression of Mom and

was certain that she did not have depression. In that case, her mother did not die of suicide. Instead,

she was murdered! Arielle closed her eyes. She felt a layer of mist obscuring her vision, preventing her

from discovering the truth. When she opened her eyes again, she could finally think and see clearly. I

will definitely discover the truth!

Arielle rummaged through the shelf carefully, but did not discover any of her mother’s belongings.

There was not even a photo in sight. Logically speaking, after someone’s wife died, he would still keep

a few photographs of her. However, she could not spot a single momento of her mother in the study

room. There were two possibilities for this… Either Henrick did not display a photograph because he

was scared that Cindy would be jealous, or he did not have any feelings for her mother at all. In fact, he

might even have detested her. It was impossible for him to be scared that Cindy would be jealous. His

male chauvinistic ego would have no room for Cindy’s crap. Hence, the latter explanation had a higher

possibility.

Of course, there was another alternative—Henrick was so scared of her mother that he did not even

dare to look at her photograph. Regardless of whether it was the second or third reason, both proved

that her mother’s death was closely related to Henrick. Although others claimed that Arielle’s mother

committed suicide due to depression,

it was impossible for someone like that to tell her daughter to “run away quickly” and “take revenge” for

her. In the meantime, she had also conducted an extensive investigation on Henrick. Back then, the

Southalls was just a small family in Jadeborough who owned a coal business.

On the contrary, the Moore Group was considered one of the major corporations in Jadeborough.

Based on her mother’s status back then, she would never have married the son of a coal mine owner.

If Henrick was someone with good morals and principles, it would still be understandable.

However, he was the opposite. The investigation also revealed that they got married in a flash. After

being introduced to each other, they married within a week.

The fact that they married was already very strange. After rummaging the shelf, she went to search the

drawers in the desk. There were a total of four drawers. After combing through the first three, Arielle

still did not find anything. When she tried to open the fourth drawer, she realized that it was locked and

she could not pull it out. Just when she was about to find something to unlock it, she heard the sounds of footsteps coming

from the corridor. A few seconds later, the door to the study room was flung open quickly.
