Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 160

Cindy’s words only made the frustration in Henrick grow.

Regardless of everything, Arielle had made him lose too much. He could not lose this cash cow, but he could not keep her around either. Maybe I should leave her in a monastery.

Right as that thought emerged in his mind, Henrick spotted a group of employees from his company walking toward him.

Instantly, he gulped.

They’ve come to ask for compensation. These useless rubbish!

Instinctively, Henrick wanted to flee. However, the words he heard in the next second stunned him. “Mr. Southall, thank you!”

After that, they all lowered their head at Henrick with looks of gratitude. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Thousands of questions immediately flooded Henrick’s mind.

What’s going on with them? Not only are they not asking for compensation, but they’re even thanking me?

Even Cindy was dumbstruck by the scene.

What’s going on?

On the other hand, Arielle was calmly standing at the side, her eyes dull.

The representative of the group then stepped forward and exclaimed, “Mr. Southall, you’ve raised a good daughter. We’re grateful for her as well as you who have brought her into this world. I’ll only work for you for the rest of my life.”

Confounded, Henrick glanced at Arielle and asked the employee, “W-What do you mean?”

The employee gave Arielle an equally confounded look before saying, “Mr. Southall, it seems like you don’t know about this. Ms. Arielle was the one who helped us out during the explosion.”

Cindy stiffened.

Still shocked, Henrick turned toward Arielle and mumbled, “Y-You saved them?”

Arielle nodded. “I didn’t want them to die in there, so I ran to the control room on the second floor and unlocked the door.”

“No, that’s not all of it!”

A female employee who had been reprimanding Arielle earlier squeezed her way out of the crowd with her son and said, “Ms. Arielle even risked her life to save all the children at the daycare. She’s my savior!”

As she spoke, tears of gratitude and regret flowed down her cheeks.

At that, Henrick hurriedly asked, “How many died in the collapse?”

The crowd was quick to reply, “None.”

“The only reason we could escape unscathed is all thanks to Ms. Arielle!”

“From now on, our lives belong to Ms. Arielle and the Southall Group.”

“Ms. Arielle is a saint! She is an excellent woman.”

After a brief pause, Henrick grinned.

No one died. That means I don’t need to compensate for anything.

In his excitement, he hugged Arielle and exclaimed, “My dear daughter, you’re the best!”

“Dad, I’m just doing what I should,” Arielle quietly answered.

Hearing that, Henrick’s impression of Arielle improved.

There’s no way she’s a jinx. In fact, she’s Lady Luck herself!

The employees left after expressing their gratitude. As Cindy watched the father and daughter hug, wrath poured into her heart.

She never thought that Arielle was capable of saving everyone in the building.

How am I going to accuse Arielle now?

Right as she was cursing at Arielle inwardly, Cindy sensed a burning gaze on her.

When she raised her head, she saw Henrick’s furious eyes glaring at her.

Henrick was a roly-poly who could never make up his own mind. Now that he was leaning toward Arielle, it would only be normal for him to turn his hatred toward Cindy.

Panicking, Cindy took a subconscious step back before squeezing out a smile. “D-Dear, w-why are you looking at me in that way?”
