A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Chapter 32

She could not believe that there was only twenty million worth of cash in his main account. Is that all the cash flow the Southalls have? Does Henrick still have some other cards that I’m not aware of? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Arielle dialed an overseas number and instructed, “Help me investigate all the assets under the Southall family, including their overseas assets.”

“All right!” her subordinate replied. By the time Arielle arrived at the Southall residence, her subordinate had sent her a detailed email. Arielle opened it and was instantly struck dumb. Henrick’s total assets, including fixed assets, were less than five hundred million.

The Moores’ assets were in the billions during their heyday, yet the figure had dwindled to less than five hundred million since Henrick took over. What has he done to the family wealth? Did he transfer most of the assets to Cindy? Arielle texted her subordinate another message: Investigate Cindy Moore’s account.

Arielle then pressed the gate bell outside the manor. Someone in the manor then reported this to Shandie immediately. “She’s back!” Shandie’s eyes brightened as she looked at the young woman. This young woman was Yvette Actonward. She looked like a life-sized Barbie doll as she had delicate features and long and wavy blonde hair. Yvette was Shandie’s cousin, and she was also voted as last year’s top socialite in Jadeborough.

The Actonwards were also one of the prominent families in Jadeborough. Yvette’s father had a close relationship with the Bakers, so he had arranged for Yvette to marry their eldest on when they grew up. Knowing that she would eventually marry into the Baker family, Yvette had been acting willfully among the socialites in the city.

Once Shandie got home, she immediately called Yvette over and sought her help. Yvette stood up slowly and said, “Come, let’s go and teach her a lesson.” Shandie asked, “What’s your plan?” “I brought Magnus over today,” Yvette said, “A vicious dog will know how to deal with a vicious b*itch.”

Magnus was Yvette’s beloved large-sized pit bull. Upon hearing that name, Shandie shuddered. “Bring Magnus over!” Yvette ordered her bodyguard. Soon, the bodyguard, who was fully armed, brought the drooling pit bull over. Shandie nudged Yvette and asked in fear, “Are you sure? Dad will kill me if anything bad happens to Arielle!”

Yvette pursed her lips in annoyance. “Since when have you become a scaredy-cat? Tell your Dad I did it. Besides, I only planned to teach her a lesson, not kill her. Okay?” Shandie took a deep breath as she was relieved to hear that. Well, if Yvette said so, we should let Magnus teach Arielle a lesson then!

When they were about to reach the gate, a housekeeper walked past them and shrieked after seeing Magnus. Magnus charged at her and bit her ankle. Instantly, blood seeped through her pants and started dripping all over the floor.

She could not help but scream in pain. “Stop it! Don’t you dare hit Magnus!” Yvette warned. The housekeeper could only look at her colleagues, hoping that they would step forth and help.

Yet, all the other housekeepers exchanged glances with others, but none of them had the courage to go up and help her. When Yvette brought Magnus to the Southall residence in their last visit, the pit bull even gnawed at one of the housekeeper’s arms.

The housekeeper continued to scream in pain and tried to defend herself by pushing the dog away.
