A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 531
The more he stared at Cindy, the more dissatisfied Henrick became.
He had gone to the psychiatric hospital after talking to Arielle that afternoon.
Coincidentally when Henrick entered the hospital, a nurse and a doctor were talking about a man named Matthias who had visited Cindy there every day. Sometimes, Matthias even stayed in Cindy’s ward for an entire day. Therefore, the nurse and doctor knew that something was fishy between them.
Hearing that, Henrick had to fight back the impulse to confront the nurse and doctor. He hurriedly left the hospital after that.
If there was one thing he could not accept, it was his wife cheating on him. After all, he would never be able to hold his head high in Jadeborough anymore.
However, if the nurses and doctors in the hospital were not just gossiping or speaking nonsense, he would not let Cindy off the hook.
He would beat her to death if that happened.
After letting out a heavy sigh, he tried to hide his emotions before he returned to talk to the guests.
I’ll confront her after the guests leave. I can’t let any outsiders know about this!
Meanwhile, Arielle put down her cutlery as she turned
to look at a direction in confusion.
She saw Malorie walking unsteadily with Alan holding her, as if she had just seen a ghost.
It did not escape her notice that Malorie had become like that after the latter saw her and shrieked in shock just now.
Touching her cheek self-consciously, Arielle wondered, Do I look that scary?
On the other side of things, after leaving the Southall residence, Vinson finally met with Blake, who had been missing for over two weeks, at the mansion.
Sasha, who had completely recovered, was crying in Blake’s arms.
When Vinson entered the mansion, Jordan took several steps back instinctively.
However, no one noticed that.
Vinson walked toward Blake as he asked, “You’re back?”
“Yes!” Blake wiped his tears and sniffled in embarrassment.
Blake was fifteen years old that year. He knew that he should not cry as he was a man now. However, he could
not hold back his tears when he saw Sasha crying.
After he saw Vinson, he quickly bowed down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Vinson! Sorry for getting you worried!”
Vinson sighed and patted Blake’s shoulder. “You silly boy. Tell me now. Where have you been the past two weeks?”
Sasha had been too busy crying just now to ask the same question, so she hurriedly added, “Yeah! We were looking for you. Where have you been?”
Blake kept his head low as he explained everything guiltily.
“Our car fell into the water, and I went into a coma. When I opened my eyes, someone was breaking the window. The water level was already at my nose by then. I could tell that the person who was breaking the window was well-trained. Worried that it might be the driver who hit our car, we got out from the trunk of the car and swam out of the river. I was injured at that time. When I was about to lose all my strength, I saw a boat. The people on the boat saved me after they saw me. I lost my consciousness again after I was dragged onboard. After I woke up, I found myself in a town thousands of miles away near the sea. The people on the boat brought me there. They stay in a rural village. Since I was injured and lost the device to contact all of you, and I was also afraid that those people would find me if I contacted you with a mobile phone, I begged them to let me stay for some time. After I recovered, I finally set off to come back. That’s what happened.”
Blake suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, “Oh, right! The people of the village said that they’re indebted to someone here. They wanted me to send my gratitude to this person in Jadeborough. Her name is… Arielle Moore.”
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 532
When Vinson heard Arielle’s name, his gaze flickered. He questioned, “What’s the name of the village?”
After Blake answered his question, Vinson smiled.
Blake asked curiously, “Mr. Vinson, why are you smiling? Is Arielle Moore actually the same Ms. Moore you ordered us to protect? It can’t be that coincidental, right?”
Vinson smirked as he replied, “You’re really lucky. Arielle came from that village.”
“Gosh! I can’t believe that I still ended up near Ms. Moore after so many things have happened!” Blake widened his eyes in shock.
Beside him, Sasha smiled as she uttered, “Ms. Moore has been looking for you too. You’ll need to thank her. Also, you can tell her about your run-in with the villagers.”
Blake nodded in agreement. He asked Vinson, “Should I go now?”
The latter shook his head and said, “She’s busy with a funeral now. You may visit her some other day. Before that, I’ll tell her about it. The wound on your leg has not fully recovered yet. Go to Carter’s hospital for a checkup and some tetanus shots. Then, take a rest with Sasha for a few days. Also… I’ve postponed Toni and Andy’s funerals. After both of you have recovered, we’ll pay our respects together.”
Blake had already heard about Toni’s and Andy’s passing. He murmured his assent as his eyes reddened.
It was common to face death in their career. Although he was upset, he had to push through.
Seeing Blake being so strong, Vinson complimented him for being a strong man. After that, Vinson glanced at the people at the side.
While Carter and Jordan were there, Harvey was nowhere to be seen.
Feeling curious, Vinson asked, “Where’s Harvey?”
Carter shrugged and answered, “I was just about to tell you. We found a transport company that day, right?”
“Yes, and?”
“Then, we were planning to send an undercover agent there.”
Vinson was stunned for a while, instantly understanding what was going on. “Harvey went there?”
Carter nodded as he added, “He insisted on going. We couldn’t even stop him. However, since he normally rarely shows his face, he’s the best suited to become our
spy.”
“When did he go?”
Abruptly, Carter hit his head. “Today. Oh, I almost
forgot. Before he left, he told us to pass this letter to Arielle. Please hand this to her.”
While speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and gave it to Vinson.
Carter was not on anyone’s side. Yet, since both men were in love with the same woman, they would have to resolve the issue soon.
He was just reminding Vinson about it.
Vinson took the letter with an indifferent expression. Arielle’s name was written on it. He did not know what the content was about, but he was not planning to look at it.
After keeping the letter, he ordered Carter to send Blake and Sasha to the Morgans’ private hospital.
When everything else was settled, Vinson grabbed Jordan, who was about to run away.
Sweat beaded Jordan’s forehead. He was anxious as only Vinson and he were left in the mansion now.
“V-Vin… W-What’s wrong?” he asked while trying to calm himself.
“Nothing’s wrong with me, but something’s wrong with
you.”
Vinson released his grip and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His gaze was locked on Jordan when he said,
“Out with it. What’s up with you recently?”
Jordan stammered, “W-What do you mean?”
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 533
Vinson gave Jordan a once-over before he asked, “Do you know what you look like now?”
Jordan covered his chest with his hands awkwardly, questioning, “What?”
“Like a man who was caught cheating.”
In other words, he looked like someone who was guilty and scared but still trying to appear calm.
His face flushed red when he heard that. “I have a girlfriend now, b-but I don’t think that has anything to do with you. After all, it’s not like we’re in that kind of relationship… B-Besides, you can’t force a relationship.”
Vinson’s confusion grew upon listening to Jordan.
He frowned and yelled, “I didn’t understand a single thing out of your mouth!”
“I…” Jordan clenched his teeth before he shouted, “I know you like me! Stop hiding it from me!”
Vinson was shocked. He furrowed his brows tighter as he questioned, “Were you drinking?”
“No! I can tell that you like me from the way you look at me. Also, you even asked me how to court someone you like. Back then, I wanted to tell you that no matter what, I would never fall for you. You’re just a brother to me. We’ll never be together because I just don’t swing that way. I’m a straight man, which means I’ll never fall for a man! Vinson Nightshire, just give up already!”
Words instantly fled Vinson.
The room fell silent for several minutes.
After a few minutes, Vinson finally returned to his senses.
His expression was complex, with a hint of disbelief.
He grabbed Jordan’s collar and shook him violently.
The latter almost fainted when he stopped shaking. Vinson questioned, “It doesn’t seem like there’s water in your brain. Since your brain is not filled with water, why did you lose your mind?”
Jordan was embarrassed to hear that. “Vinson Nightshire! I’m being serious! Please stop liking me. I only see you as a brother.”
Vinson tried to hold back the urge to punch Jordan. With a grim expression, he said, “I’m being serious too. I see you as a brother as well. You’ve misunderstood. I do not have any feelings for you. I like women!”
Jordan was stunned.
Then he became delighted.
“Are you telling the truth? You don’t like me? Do you see me as a friend only?”
Vinson massaged his temples and yelled furiously, “How are you so confident? Who gave you the
courage? I don’t like you! I can repeat that a thousand times! I like women!”
He had the urge to kick Jordan.
This time, he could not control himself anymore and really did that.
With a thump, Vinson kicked Jordan in his butt.
The latter almost fell onto the ground.
However, Jordan was not unhappy at all. He rubbed his butt as he said, “So, you don’t like me? Haha! Great!
You don’t like me!”
I was overthinking! Vinson doesn’t like me!
Jordan wished that he could set off fireworks to celebrate.
He had been extremely nervous to see Vinson recently because of that. Now, he was relieved after knowing the truth.
However, he became curious after that.
“If you don’t like me, who are you courting?”
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 534
“Arielle!” Vinson answered without hesitation.
Initially, he was reluctant to tell Jordan about it because he knew that the latter would spread the news to the others. But, he knew that he had to clear the misunderstanding between them now.
He had never discriminated against homosexuals, but he just did not want Jordan to misunderstand him.
As a straight man, he hated being misunderstood.
Since he had never dated anyone before, many people assumed that he was a homosexual. He did not want his close friends to misunderstand him.
When Jordan heard Arielle’s name, he was stunned.
He asked in surprise, “Goddess?‘
Vinson glared at him and warned, “She’s not your goddess. She’s your future sister-in-law. Watch your language.”
“Okay!” Jordan raised his hands in surrender and asked, “But, Harvey’s courting Arielle, right? He even went to an island and killed a shark to gift her its tooth. I heard that gifting a shark tooth signifies a confession.”
Vinson frowned upon hearing that, “Did Arielle accept it?”
Jordan shrugged. “I don’t know. However, since both of you like the same woman, how are you going to share
her?”
Vinson glared daggers at Jordan.
“Who said anything about sharing? Arielle is mine.”
“Fine, fine. She’s yours.”
Jordan quickly made an “OK” gesture to him. I almost fell for Arielle too. Luckily I got away before any damage was done. Otherwise, I’ll die competing with these two.
Vinson did not want to continue talking to this idiot. He said, “If you’ve nothing to do, just put yourself in jail. Stop messing around. If Arielle finds out about this, I’ll tear you apart. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes!” Jordan nodded. He quickly left the mansion under Vinson’s threatening gaze.
At that moment, he was happy yet conflicted.
He was happy to know that Vinson had not fallen for him but conflicted because the person Vinson liked was Arielle. They fell in love with the same girl. What now?
Moreover, both of them were loyal men. Once they fell for a woman, they would be in love with the same person for the rest of their lives.
What if they go against each other for Arielle?
Jordan was frustrated.
Thinking about that, he quickly took out his phone and sent Carter a message on WhatsApp.
Carter! Breaking news! Vinson and Carter fell in love with your Chief! My goddess, Arielle!
Carter replied him: …
In the car, Jordan typed another message proudly. Are you surprised? You’re the first person I told this to! Is dinner on you tonight?
Carter replied: Look at where you’ve sent me the message.
Jordan was confused as he glanced around and sent back: I’m in my car now. Why?
Just when he sent the message, he saw the title of the chat above their conversation – The Fantastic Four.
That was the title of the group chat for the four of them.
Jordan felt his world falling apart.
The next second, a notification popped up. Vinson has left the group chat.
One second later, another notification chimed. Harvey has left the group chat.
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 535
After a couple of seconds, another notification came. Carter has left the group chat.
Only Jordan was left in the group chat now.
He sat in his car, feeling at a loss about what just happened. Damn! Damn! I’m such an idiot! A f**king idiot!
Back in the mansion, after Vinson quit the group chat, he was prepared to return to the Southall residence.
At that moment, Rayson phoned him. He sounded anxious.
“Mr. Nightshire, something terrible has happened! One of the branches of Soir Coffee has a problem now! A customer was sent to the hospital after an allergy reaction. Seems like the situation is really bad.”
Vinson frowned. “Is it caused by something from our coffee shop?”
“I’m not sure of the details yet, but the customer’s family members are complaining about it at our office now. I’m afraid it might cause a negative impact on us. What should we do now?”
“Try to calm the family members and stop this news from spreading. I’m driving over now. I’ll be there in around twenty minutes.”
“Okay, Mr. Nightshire.”
Upon hanging up, Vinson walked out of the mansion while he sent a message to Arielle: Are you all right?
Arielle replied quickly: Don’t worry. Nothing’s going to happen. Cindy won’t let anything happen at Shandie’s funeral.
Then, Vinson sent another message: All right. I need to settle something urgent now. I’ll be there after I’m done.
In the Southall residence, Arielle smiled as she typed her message. Do what you need to do. If you’re busy, you don’t have to come. I can handle it by myself.
After giving it some thought, she sent another message: I’ll call you if I have any problems.
Some time ago, she had never thought that someone would have her back like this. However, everything was different now.
Vinson replied quickly. Okay. Call me anytime.
After Arielle sent an “OK” emoji, she kept her phone back in her pocket. She started studying Cindy again.
The latter did not look as upset anymore as she tended to the guests.
The more Arielle thought about it, the more she felt something was off.
She had a feeling that Cindy was plotting something.
However, Arielle knew that she could handle everything well.
The funeral went on smoothly. Shandie’s grave was in the second cemetery of Jadeborough.
The grave plots of the first cemetery were extremely expensive. They cost much higher than the houses in the city of Jadeborough, which was why only truly prominent and wealthy people could be buried there.
Henrick did not even want to pay for Shandie’s grave at the second cemetery. In the end, Cindy had to fork out the money herself.
Maureen was buried there as well.
After making sure no one was keeping an eye on her, Arielle found Maureen’s grave and placed a bouquet of flowers there.
She looked at Maureen’s photo sorrowfully as she said, “Hey there, Mom. As I wished, the Southall family is now falling apart. Shandie is dead, whereas Cindy and Henrick are going to divorce soon. I’ve always wanted to find the truth about your death before, but I no longer want to know the process, I only know that Henrick and Cindy are the murderers who caused your death. I will definitely punish them for you. Just wait for me!”
Arielle had secretly come to Maureen’s grave several times before. It was not the first time she talked to her
mother here.
Her gaze was firm as she looked intensely at Maureen’s photo. A moment later, she pasted on a perfect smile before she walked toward Shandie’s grave.
A car was already waiting to drive them back home.
Arielle climbed into the car with Henrick and Cindy.
Right as the car was about to arrive at the Southall residence…
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 536
“Stop the car!” Cindy shouted.
She was sitting with Arielle in the back seat.
The latter turned to look at her in confusion. Cindy looked pale and was clearly not feeling well.
Since Arielle had medical skills, she could tell that Cindy was not faking it.
She frowned and gave Cindy a concerned look. “Aunt Cindy, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?”
In the passenger’s seat, Henrick turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Cindy covered her mouth with her hand and replied, “I think I’m having motion sickness. Stop the car.’
Henrick glanced at the chauffeur before the latter pulled over at the side of the road.
Once the car came to a halt, Cindy rushed out of the car and started throwing up beside a lamppost.
Eventually, she was just vomiting water. She could only steady herself by holding onto the lamppost.
Henrick furrowed his brows before he went to help Cindy. In confusion, he asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve never had motion sickness before.”
Cindy wiped her mouth with her sleeve and answered weakly, “Maybe I was too upset today and it affected
my body. Let’s go home. Help me call the private doctor to come over to check up on me later.”
Arielle was watching Cindy from the side. An idea occurred to her, but she swiftly pushed it aside, not deeming it likely
“Forget about the private doctor. There’s a hospital not far from here. Let’s get a checkup there.”
She wanted to know if Cindy was really having motion sickness or something else was up. At least I’ll know what’s going on with her if we go to a hospital.
Cindy seemed reluctant as she looked at Henrick. “No need for that… Both of you must be tired. It’s just motion sickness. I’m fine. I’ll just roll down the car window later.”
Right when she finished speaking, she started retching again.
Although nothing came out, her face turned completely
pale.
Henrick then sighed and replied, “It looks serious. We shouldn’t get in the car. Let’s walk to the hospital and get a checkup. You’ve never had motion sickness before. Something must be wrong.”
“Okay…” Cindy smiled apologetically before she began walking with Henrick’s help.
Arielle followed behind. Her mind was racing to
analyze the situation.
I have a feeling her condition is probably caused by the thing that Matthias gave her. I saw her drinking it through the surveillance cameras.
However, Arielle did not say a word as she walked behind them.
She knew that the truth would be revealed at the hospital later.
They spent more than ten minutes to arrive at the hospital which was only several hundred meters away.
The three of them rushed to the emergency room together with their chauffeur.
Since there were only a few patients in the hospital and Cindy looked extremely pale, two nurses sent her for a checkup right away. Arielle and Henrick had to wait outside the door of the emergency room.
Arielle noticed that Henrick had his brows knitted tightly, looking worried.
Clearly, he was suspecting that Cindy had cheated on him.
That morning, Arielle had ordered Carter to have the staff of the psychiatric hospital gossip about Matthias and Cindy. Seems like it’s working.
At that moment, she suddenly noticed that the Morgans’ family insignia was on the wall beside the name of the hospital.
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 537
This is Carter’s family’s hospital!
Arielle was delighted knowing that. This makes things a lot easier.
Without hesitation, she told Henrick that she was going to the washroom before she hid in a corner of the hospital. Then, she phoned Carter.
The latter answered the phone instantly, “Chief, what’s up? Is there anything I can do for you?”
Arielle glanced around before she replied, “Your family owns Morgan Hospital, right?”
“Yes. Are you there now?”
“Yes. My aunt and also stepmother’s name is Cindy Moore. She’s getting a medical checkup here. Can you send someone to have a look at her?”
“Not a problem. I’ll call them right now.”
“All right. Thank you. Also, thank you for helping me with the psychiatric hospital matter. I’ll treat you to a meal some other day.”
“Sure.”
Arielle hurriedly hung up the call and kept her phone before she returned to the emergency room.
Henrick did not even realize that she had returned. He leaned against the wall, his gaze appearing blank and
looking like he had aged ten years.
It was the first time Arielle saw him looking like that. Deep down, all she felt was glee.
He clearly can’t accept the fact that Cindy is cheating on him, but has he ever thought of Mom’s feelings when he cheated on her back then? This is karma. He deserves it!
Arielle quickly hid the mocking look in her expression before she approached Henrick. “Dad, I’m back. Don’t worry about Aunt Cindy. I think she’s just too upset about Shandie’s passing. Also, she stayed in the psychiatric hospital for some time. Her immunity might’ve weakened there.”
Henrick forced a grin and replied, “Yeah. I’m not worried.”
A beat later, he added, “Arielle, what do you think about Cindy?”
Arielle paused for a while before she smiled. “Aunt
She knew that if she badmouthed Cindy now, Henrick would suspect that the rumor he heard in the psychiatric hospital might be fake.
As expected, after hearing her answer, Henrick asked, “I thought you two were always having misunderstandings? Why did you still say she’s nice? What do you mean by that?”
Arielle smiled and answered, “I don’t know how to put it in words… I just feel like she’s treating you well. I think she’s a nice person because of that.’
Seeing her being so pure and naive, Henrick’s face turned darker.
He knew that Cindy treated him well. But is she treating me well because she’s feeling guilty and indebted to me?
Thinking about it, Henrick recalled that Cindy had never once given him an attitude ever since they got married. That’s really strange.
Studying Henrick’s changing expressions, Arielle knew that her plan was working.
She smiled gently as she asked, “Dad, what are you thinking?”
“N-Nothing.” Henrick lowered his head guiltily.
Right at that moment, a doctor walked toward them and asked, “Is Cindy Moore’s family around?”
Henrick did not respond. Yet, Arielle raised her hand and replied, “Right here. We’re her family.”
The doctor looked at her before he said, “There’s some problem with the patient, so we took her to do an in depth examination. You can wait for her in the waiting room. It may take an hour for the results to be out.”
Henrick was stunned. He asked, “What’s wrong with her? Why do we have to wait for so long? I thought she was only having motion sickness?”
The doctor pushed his glasses up and explained, “We’re not sure yet. Please wait patiently until the results come out.’
Finished speaking, he turned around and left.
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 538
Before leaving, the doctor glanced at Arielle and mouthed at her. Let’s talk outside.
Although Henrick did not notice, Arielle saw that.
She went to the waiting room with Henrick and found an excuse to leave. Then, she saw the doctor waiting for her at the entrance of the hospital.
“Are you Ms. Moore?” the doctor asked.
Arielle nodded. “Yes. I’m Arielle Moore.”
The doctor glanced around before he said, “Let’s talk over there.” He then walked toward the garden of the hospital.
Arielle followed him to a corner before they came to a halt. “Ms. Moore, my name is Andrew Collins. Mr. Morgan ordered me to inspect Cindy Moore.”
Arielle nodded and greeted him. After that, she asked in confusion, “Dr. Collins, is there any problem with Cindy Moore?”
Andrew shook his head and answered, “There’s nothing wrong with the patient. However, we found out that she’s pregnant.”
Arielle widened her eyes in shock. “Pregnant!”
She wasn’t having motion sickness; she’s just pregnant! She’s actually pregnant? Whose child is it?
It was the first time Arielle failed to control herself. However, she was lucky that Andrew was on her side.
She took a deep breath to calm herself before she asked, “Are you sure about that? She’s almost fifty years old…”
“According to the preliminary examination, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood of patient has increased significantly, which indicates that she is pregnant. However, since Mr. Morgan has called us personally, I’m going to do more precise tests on the patient.”
S
After several seconds, Arielle questioned, “I-Is there a chance that there’s a mistake with the result?”!
Andrew pondered about it before he answered, “This index is high. It can also be affected by some medications. However, if an ultrasound is done, the result of the test is 100% accurate. My staff is now taking her for B-scan ultrasonography.”
Arielle murmured her assent and added, “I understand. Please inspect her thoroughly.”
“Yes, Ms. Moore.” Andrew nodded firmly before he turned around and headed back to the hospital.
As Arielle watched Andrew leave, she fell into deep thought. If Cindy’s truly pregnant, that’s going to be bad news to me. Henrick doesn’t have a son, and he looks down on women. He’s going to wait until the baby is born to do anything, even if there’s proof that she cheated on him with Matthias. I can’t wait until the baby
is born. This family has to fall apart in order for me to take advantage of them.
Arielle shut her eyes and prayed that the result was wrong. She hoped that Cindy was not pregnant.
A couple of seconds later, her eyes flew open.
She suddenly remembered the surveillance cameras in the psychiatric hospital.
In the footage, Matthias had Cindy drink something every day. It looked like some sort of herbal remedy. Could that possibly affect the result of the medical checkup?
Arielle clenched her fists, suspecting that Cindy was faking a pregnancy.
This is probably her trump card. If this is true, Cindy’s really smart. However, the truth will be revealed eventually. By then, I won’t have to do anything for Henrick to end her life. Henrick hates deception and betrayal the most. Not only that, but he’s an incredibly prideful man. It will be the end of Cindy right after I expose the proof of her cheating on Henrick.
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 539
Arielle’s head was flooded with thoughts.
After standing in the garden for several minutes, she managed to get a conclusion before she headed back to the emergency room.
When she arrived at the entrance, she saw Cindy crying in Henrick’s arms.
Arielle rushed to them and asked, “Dad, what happened to Aunt Cindy?”
Henrick clearly did not know what was going on as well. He lowered his head and said, “Stop crying. What happened?”
Cindy pointed at a doctor and a nurse standing nearby while she uttered through her sobs, “He molested me!”
She shouted so loudly that almost all the people in the emergency room heard that.
They turned to look at Cindy in surprise before casting a disdainful look at the male doctor she was pointing at.
Several bad-tempered people walked over and started berating the male doctor.
“She’s a patient. How could you be so disgusting? Have you forgotten about your medical ethics?”
“You don’t deserve to be a doctor. Miss, call the police! We can’t tolerate this kind of people! We have to punish him!”
“Yes! He has to be punished!”
As everyone reprimanded the doctor, his face turned dark.
The doctor warned, “Ma’am, please don’t slander me! When did I molest you? You were brought to the room for an ultrasound. I haven’t even started the inspection when you screamed and ran out the room.”
The nurse beside him nodded.
“That’s right! Ma’am, we haven’t even finished the inspection. You’re supposed to take off your clothes for the examination. You can’t slander us like this.”
Henrick was furious and embarrassed. He asked, “Did the doctor molest you? Could it be a misunderstanding?”
Cindy wiped her tears and complained in embarrassment, “I’ve done this examination before. I certainly know that I’m supposed to take off my clothes. Do you think that I can’t tell the difference between molesting and examining? He molested me when the nurse wasn’t paying attention. I swear that it wasn’t a misunderstanding!”
“Okay!” Henrick shot a look at the chauffeur, and the latter stepped forward to restrain the doctor immediately.
Meanwhile, Henrick called the police.
Since there was a police station beside the hospital, several policemen arrived in no time. They started asking about the situation.
When they heard that a doctor molested his patient, their expressions became solemn.
The nurse who was speaking for the doctor backed out when she noticed everyone around her was on Cindy’s side.
The doctor tried to defend himself, but no one believed him. Moreover, there was not a single surveillance camera in the B-scan ultrasonography room. Hence, he could not do anything to prove his innocence. In the end, he had to go to the police station to record a statement.
As Arielle watched the male doctor being dragged away, she was more certain than ever that Cindy was faking her pregnancy. It’s obvious that she’s trying to avoid the B-scan ultrasonography because she’s faking her pregnancy.
Clearly, Cindy had never thought that her actions might destroy the doctor’s future and career.
That was how evil she was.
Henrick was infuriated and only calmed down after the doctor was taken away. Then, he started yelling for the management of the hospital to compensate him.
The hospital sent Andrew to negotiate with him.
When Andrew came, he glanced at Arielle. She sighed as she noticed how helpless he was.
Andrew walked toward Cindy and Henrick before he bowed down to apologize.
A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 540
“Sir, Ma’am, after we confirm the situation with the police, the hospital will contact you to talk about the compensation.” Andrew did not forget about Carter’s order. He added, “The hospital will pay for the fee of all the medical examinations you’ve done here today. For all subsequent examinations, we will arrange for a female doctor to do them for you. Please come with us.”
Cindy instantly refused, “I don’t want to continue with the examination! Even if you arrange a female doctor, I’m still afraid! You just need to give us the results of the tests I did before. I’ll go to another hospital for other tests.”
Hearing that, the other patients left the hospital as well, not daring to have their examinations there anymore.
There was no doubt the news would spread like wildfire in Jadeborough. Morgan Hospital would suffer an unprecedented devastating blow after having its reputation tarnished.
Thinking about that, Andrew looked exasperated. He nodded at the nurse beside him and said, “Get the patient’s examination results here.”
“All right, Dr. Collins.” The nurse walked off and returned with a report in her hand.
Andrew glanced at Arielle, seemingly asking for her permission. No one else understood that look.
Arielle frowned while thinking about it. Since a male doctor’s future was ruined now, she knew that she could
not let anything bad happen anymore. Hence, she could only nod in agreement.
Seeing that, Andrew walked toward Cindy and handed her the report. “According to the blood test results, Ma’am, you’re pregnant. Congratulations”
“What?”
“What?”
Henrick and Cindy gasped in shock at the same time.
However, Arielle could tell that the latter was faking it.
Although Cindy looked surprised, Arielle noticed that her eyes were filled with triumph.
“Congratulations, Aunt Cindy.” Arielle smiled as she stared at Cindy.
Inexplicably, the latter felt guilty.
Arielle’s gaze was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through Cindy’s mind. Cindy felt like Arielle could read her mind now.
However, she quickly regained her composure. No one else knows about my plan except for Matthias. Even if Arielle guessed it, she won’t be able to expose me. Matthias told me that as long as I keep drinking the herbal concoction, I will have all the symptoms of a real pregnancy. If I don’t do the B-scan ultrasonography, no one will ever find out that I’m faking my pregnancy.
Arielle is probably congratulating me as a sign of her backing down.
