Chapter 915
Nevertheless, Wendy could not hear anything Daniel said after that as she slowly backed away with a pale face.
It was only after her back collided with the drawer did she mutter, “Doomed… I’m doomed.”
If Arielle escapes, she’ll surely tell Vinson about this. Then, Vinson will be prepared. How are we going to get rid of Arielle now? The best opportunity has slipped by us. It’s unlikely we’ll ever get another chance to end her life now.
When Cecilia walked out of the kitchen to see Wendy’s disheveled state, she hastily put down the plate and grabbed her daughter’s shaking shoulders. Then, in a worried tone, she asked, “What’s the matter, Wendy? What’s going on with Wendy, Daniel?”
Daniel gritted his teeth as he responded, “I accidentally let that girl escape.”
“What?” Cecilia shrieked as her eyes went wide. “You brought three mercenaries with you, but you couldn’t even handle one girl?”
Already frustrated by things not going his way, an annoyed look crept onto Daniel’s face when he heard Cecilia’s question,
“Stop kicking up a fuss! I’ll send more people after her tonight. What’s there to scream about when her fate is certain? I’m tired. I’m going back to my room to rest first.” With that said, Daniel went back to his room.
Cecilia bit down on her lower lip before turning to the trembling Wendy. “Don’t worry, Wendy. Your dad will be going out again tonight. I’ll ask him to bring that minx to you so that you can torment that girl yourself. How does that sound?”
“It’ll be impossible.” Wendy tightened her fists. “Arielle’s a crafty b*tch. If you go after her again, you’ll step right into her trap. She’ll be fine, but we’ll be doomed. She’ll screw us over!”
At that, Cecilia began mulling over her words.
Indeed, if they had gotten rid of Arielle immediately, Vinson would not have held the Greene family accountable. However, that was not the case as they had not succeeded. Furthermore, Vinson was at the peak of his prime, where emotions ruled alongside rationality. Perhaps a few words from Arielle would make him go up against the Greenes.
With that thought in mind, Cecilia’s expression turned
grave.
She then went to get Daniel from his room and told him about her thoughts.
Daniel, like her, frowned after her explanation.
“What do you think we should do now then?”
Cecilia’s eyes narrowed.
“What can we do? We’ll have to stay put for now while
we wait for an opportunity to get rid of her. Right, you didn’t leave any evidence behind, did you? That little b*tch doesn’t know that we’re the ones who are trying to kill her, right?”
Daniel nodded. “Don’t worry. The ones I sent out were the mercenaries. Although we were a street away from them, I saw them kill themselves with the poison.”
That made Cecilia sigh in relief before turning to console Wendy, “Wendy, don’t get too anxious. The day after tomorrow will be Monday, and your results will be out by then. Susanne is most concerned about the pros and cons, and she’ll be coming to your school with me. When she sees that you’ve gotten first place in the preparatory class, she’ll know who’s the one she should choose between you and that b*tch. After all, without Susanne’s agreement, that b*tch won’t be able to marry into the Nightshire family.”
Despite the reluctance she was feeling, Wendy had to agree to hold her horses so that Vinson would not find out she had made a move against Arielle.
What a pity. We’ve lost such a good opportunity.
“By the way, Wendy,” Cecilia started. “You’re confident about your results, right? You’ll be able to get the first place, right?”
Immediately, Wendy stiffened and gulped.
