A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Chapter 288

Arielle played dumb and pretended to ask in confusion, “What happened to Aunt Cindy, Dad?”

“She couldn’t accept the fact that Shandie is dead and has been causing a ruckus, so I had someone lock her in her room. Wouldn’t want to scare the guests who have come to mourn,” Henrick replied with a sigh.

Arielle nodded. “Aunt Cindy really loves Shandie and treats her like her own daughter, even though she was adopted. It’s only natural that she doesn’t take too well to her sudden death.”

Henrick cleared his throat awkwardly upon hearing that. “Ahem… No need to concern yourself over this. She’ll come to terms with it over time.”

“But… We can’t just let Aunt Cindy stay depressed like this. Prolonged grief can be really bad for her body. How about we have Dr. Jankowitsch take a look at her?”

Henrick arched an eyebrow at her and said, “That’s a good idea. Will he be willing to travel all the way here?”

Vinson was quick to reassure him, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll give Dr. Jankowitsch a call right away and have him come over!”

“All right, then! Thank you very much, Vinson!”

“No need to thank me. We’re family, after all!” Vinson said as he pulled out his phone and gave Klaus a call.

To ensure that everything would go smoothly for Arielle, he had already told Klaus about their plan when he came over that morning

Klaus said he wasn’t on duty that night and could pay them a visit right away.

Vinson then hung up the phone and told Henrick, “He’ll be here in half an hour.

“Thank goodness Dr. Jankowitsch is able to make it. With his medical skills, I’m sure Cindy will be back to normal very soon!” Henrick exclaimed while breathing a huge sigh of relief. completely oblivious to the sudden twinkle in Arielle’s eyes as she thought of an idea that would destroy both Cindy and Matthias in one

Naturally, Vinson noticed that look in her eyes and whispered to her when Henrick was in the backyard, “Come on, out with it. Let’s hear this bright idea of yours.”

Arielle pouted. “What… Are you able to read minds or something?”

Vinson simply shrugged in response and waited for her to continue.

keep him in suspense as he did before. “Looks like I’m going to have to put on another show! All you have to do is sit back and watch as everything unfolds!”

Vinson wasn’t bothered by it and carried on waiting with a look of anticipation on his face.

Klaus arrived shortly after and got all excited when he saw Arielle, but he did his best to contain his excitement as told by Vinson beforehand.

He then put on his usual attitude and asked Vinson, “Where is the patient, Mr. Nightshire?”

“She’s upstairs.” Vinson then turned toward Arielle after a brief pause and said, “I’ll go get Henrick, you can have a little chat with Dr. Jankowitsch in the meantime.”

“Okay.” Arielle nodded and led Klaus upstairs before sneakily handing him something when no one was watching.

“What is this?” Klaus asked in confusion.

Arielle leaned in close to whisper something into his ear, and Klaus’ eyes lit up in surprise. “What? Where did you get something like this? I heard it got banned immediately after it was developed!”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Just make sure you do as I say later on, okay?” Arielle said

with a faint smile.

Klaus nodded profusely and patted his chest as he reassured her confidently, “Don’t worry. I’ll surely put this to good use!”

“Okay!” Arielle then quickly made a shushing motion at him when she heard Henrick coming up the stairs. She even pretended to be worried and pleaded with Klaus, “Please, you have to treat my aunt, Dr. Jankowitsch!”
