Chapter 101 It Has Begun
I have already thought of the perfect plan to deal with Arielle. I’ll find a man for her and stir up some
scandalous news about their relationship. When that happens, your father will be glad he still has you.
Trust me, darling. It won’t be long before you can make a grand return!
Having read the letter, Arielle’s narrowed eyes stared coldly into the distance.
Just when she thought Shandie was bad, Cindy turned out to be even worse.
However, the one mistake that Cindy had made was to underestimate Arielle.
If she thinks she can destroy my reputation, I’d like to see her try!
With a flick of the lighter, Arielle lit up the letter and let it burn to a crisp.
Meanwhile, Cindy was pacing about in her room, her anxiety increasing with every passing second.
Suddenly, her gaze landed on the wall calendar, and an idea hit her.
Yvette’s birthday is coming up, and I bet she’s still mad at Arielle over that dog. Perhaps I could use
that to my advantage?
With that thought in mind, Cindy quickly fished her phone out and called Yvette.
Once the call got through, Yvette didn’t even bother masking the annoyance in her voice. “What do you
want?” she barked.
Even though Yvette was rude, Cindy didn’t seem to mind. She was merely a distant relative, and a Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
socialite like Yvette would never care to show her much respect.
“Oh, my. Who has offended you? Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you!”
Yvette scoffed and replied, “No need for that! If it weren’t for your useless daughter, the Bakers
wouldn’t have called off my engagement! I don’t want to speak to anyone from your family!”
Even Cindy was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. “The Bakers called off the engagement?
What happened?”
Yvette was reluctant to elaborate, but she was no match for Cindy’s powers of persuasion. After some
coaxing, she eventually shared a summary of what had happened.
Cindy’s lips curled into a smile as she listened intently, pleased that the grudge between Arielle and
Yvette was even worse than she had thought.
Cindy sighed before chiming in, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this. But Yvette, neither me nor Shannie
is to be blamed for that. In my opinion, it’s all Arielle’s fault! If that slut hadn’t bewitched Mr. Baker, he
wouldn’t have called off the engagement with you!”
Knowing that Cindy was on her side made Yvette feel a lot better and more forthcoming. “We haven’t
told anyone else about the engagement, so please keep it to yourself. As for Arielle, I won’t let her off
easy! I hope you won’t stand in my way when I go after her.”
“Why would I do such a thing?” Cindy replied. “The truth is, I’ve already thought of how we can get
back at her. All I need is for someone to work with me…”
With Arielle as their common enemy, it was easy for Cindy and Yvette to talk for more than two hours
as they hashed out their devious plan.
Before long, it was time for dinner.
As she made her way to the dining room, Arielle saw that only Cindy was at the table. Having lost the
partnership deal with Nightshire Group, Henrick was probably still busy panicking about how he could
salvage it.
Arielle remained calm as she sat opposite Cindy and quietly tucked into her meal.
For a while, all was peaceful until Cindy broke the silence. “Sannie, you’re too skinny. Here, eat more,”
she said while placing a drumstick on Arielle’s plate.
Arielle looked up, only to see Cindy smiling at her with seemingly no hint of malice in her eyes.
Seeing her so calm and collected, Arielle could only guess that Cindy had formulated a plan.
Despite that, Arielle pretended not to suspect anything and smiled warmly back. “Thank you, Aunt
Cindy.”
Now, let’s see what else she has to say.
If Cindy wanted to play the long game, Arielle would be more than happy to play along.
Right on cue, Cindy let out a deep sigh. “Speaking of Shannie, it’s all my fault for spoiling her…”
There we go. The game’s in play.
