Chapter 741
The message consisted of a few high-definition photos.
In the photos, Cindy and Matthias were hugging each other and kissing passionately. Were it not for the wrinkles on their faces, one might assume that they were a young couple in love.
After all, an illicit love affair was always the most passionate.
Noticing Arielle’s gaze, Trisha asked, “What are you looking at, Sannie?”
Arielle kept her phone and shook her head. “Nothing. It’s just… a surprise.”
“Oh…” Trisha was not interested in the surprise—her attention was wholly focused on the new restaurant.
Hand in hand, they walked to the school gate. At that moment, someone called out to her.
“Arielle!”
Arielle paused.
Why does that sound like Cindy?
When she turned around and glanced over, she saw Cindy walking over with a huge grin.
It’s really Cindy!
Arielle rapidly sent a message before narrowing her
eyes and scrutinizing Cindy.
In traditional Chanaean medicine, one can notice a lot of things just by observing.
Arielle immediately noticed the signs of exhaustion that Cindy was trying to conceal.
Looks like she hasn’t been doing quite well recently.
When Cindy saw Arielle scrutinizing her like that, she suddenly felt uneasy
Arielle’s gaze was so intense that it was as if she could see right through her.
Forcing herself to calm down, Cindy walked toward Arielle briskly and greeted her enthusiastically, “Long time no see, Arielle! How have you been?”
Cindy spoke in a gentle tone, sounding like an affectionate mother.
However, Arielle knew that this was just her act.
She could see right through Cindy’s pretense and guess what she was planning.
Just like what she had said earlier, Cindy had not shown any signs of pregnancy recently. Furthermore, as Blake and Sasha had already raided the hideout of Gaea Medicine, Cindy was definitely eager to have a miscarriage.
In that case, she would definitely want to drag Arielle down with her.
Cindy’s plan was quite ingenious. If Arielle were just an innocent and ignorant girl, she would have died over a hundred times in Cindy’s hands.
Glancing at Cindy calmly, Arielle asked, “Why are you here? No wonder I was having a bad feeling today.”
“You…” An awkward look crossed Cindy’s face.
However, remembering her motive for being here, she suppressed her unhappiness and revealed a pitiful look. “Arielle, how can you speak to your mother like that? Others might think that we’re enemies.”
As lessons had just ended, there were many students at the gate.
Having become one of the most popular students at Jadeborough University because of the translating video, Arielle attracted a lot of attention.
After Cindy spoke, many students who did not know Arielle well looked surprised.
“Why does Arielle have such a poor attitude toward her mother?”
“That’s a bit too much, isn’t it?”
Ignoring their look of surprise, Arielle cast her gaze downward and scoffed coldly. Then, she raised her head
and met Cindy’s glossy eyes. With an indifferent tone, she asked, “My mother? Do you even deserve to be my mother?”
Knowing that Arielle would say that, Cindy feigned a pitiful look.
Wiping her nonexistent tears away, she sobbed and said, “No matter what, I’ve been married to your father and taken care of him for so many years. After you came home, I spent so much effort looking after you. It turns out that you’re still unwilling to acknowledge me as your mother.”
