Chapter 169 The Prohibited Drug
After throwing the ax away, Shandie walked out of the courtyard.
Fraught with remorse, Cindy went after Shandie to apologize to her.
“I’m sorry, Shannie. I didn’t mean it. Even if you were being impudent just now, I shouldn’t have hit you. Tell me, has Aunt Louisa been bad-mouthing about me?”
Louisa deplored the marriage between Cindy and Henrick. She had been disparaging Cindy ever since Cindy and Henrick were married.
Louisa must’ve been behind this.
Peeved, Shandie pushed Cindy aside and left without saying a word.
Cindy couldn’t catch up to Shandie.
Thus, she had no choice but to sleep on the same bed with Louisa that night.
Tossing and turning on the bed, Cindy was having a hard time sleeping. When the next morning came, Cindy woke up with dark circles under her eyes.
I can’t stay here any longer!
I’ll go gonzo if this continues!
Cindy went to a secluded corner before giving Matthias a call.
Upon hearing Cindy’s current situation, Matthias immediately replied, “I’ll send someone over to pick you up now! We shouldn’t care about the assets of the Southall Group anymore. Just get back here right now and tell Henrick that you’re going to divorce him!”
“I can’t divorce him now!”
“Why? You were left in the monastery by him. Do you still think that he cares about you?” Matthias lowered his voice, “Cin, come and live with me instead. I will treat you well!”
Cindy was comforted by his words. “It’s not that I don’t want to live with you, but I just can’t right now. I assume you already knew about the incident regarding the collapse of Southall Group’s building. But what you don’t know is that Vinson is willing to pay for the aftermath of this incident. Knowing Henrick, he’ll use this chance to wring out as much money as he can from Vinson. By then, we should make moves of our own and try to take the money from him. Not to mention, we can also use this opportunity to get the directors on our side,” explained Cindy.
Matthias was pensive. “T-Then what should we do now? Henrick has eyes all over the monastery right now. You can’t do anything while you’re in there.”
Cindy was reticent for a few seconds. “That’s why I need to get out of here as soon as possible. To that end, I need you to prepare a certain drug for me.”
“What kind of drug?”
After hearing the name of the drug from Cindy, Matthias hurriedly went to do some research on it. He was quick to discover the place which sold that sort of prohibited drugs.
“I’ll go and buy the drug right now. However, there’s a small problem. This drug requires daily consumption to work. Once you stop taking the medication, the symptoms will be obvious.”
“It’s ok. I’ll drink it every day if that’s what it takes. You should just focus on getting me the drug.”
“Okay. I’ll personally go abroad to buy the drug.”
After the call ended, the frustration that had been gripping Cindy’s chest finally loosened a little.
Cindy turned around and saw Shandie sweeping the floor from a distance.
Seeing that, she dashed over to Shandie and grabbed her arm. “Shannie, why are you up so early today? Also, why are you bothering yourself with this mundane task?”
Shandie shook off Cindy’s hand and gave her a sneer. “You’ll need to do it too eventually.”
“I’ve been looking all over for you. Where on earth have you been?” The voice of Louisa was heard behind them.
Cindy turned her head around and was met with Louisa, who was walking toward her in a green dress.
In Louisa’s hand was another green dress made from coarse cloth.
“Louisa…”
Before Cindy could finish her sentence, Louisa lobbed the dress onto Cindy and uttered, “I don’t like people slacking off. Change these gaudy clothes that you’re wearing right now and get back to work. I need you to carry the firewood in the mountains.”
