Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me - Season 3 Episode 26

She couldn’t understand why Yvette tried to harm her. Have I ever offended Yvette?

On the other hand, Arielle was waiting to see them turning against each other.

She put on a concerned look and said, “Yvette, you can’t say that. Shandie and I aren’t that close, but I know she isn’t that evil. Besides, there’s no bad blood between her and Uncle Russell. Why would she harm him? This must be a misunderstanding. You need to give her a chance to explain herself.”

Shandie nodded vehemently.

Yes! I want to explain. I shall reveal Yvette’s evil deed!

Yvette gritted her teeth in anger. “Arielle, stay out of our family’s business. There’s nothing to explain!”

Russell shook his head. “Arielle’s right. She’s our relative, so we should give her a chance to explain herself. Edmund, remove the cloth in her mouth so she can talk.”

Before Yvette could stop Edmund, he had already removed the cloth from Shandie’s mouth.

Immediately, Shandie yelled out, “Uncle Russell! It was Yvette who set me up! My father locked me up in a monastery, so I knew nothing about your return. Yvette gave me the dress. She set me up and tried to kill you!”

“What did you say?” Russell’s question was directed at Shandie, but his furious gaze had landed on Yvette.

Yvette felt like her blood had frozen in her veins.

She took a step back instinctively. “Dad…”

“Don’t call me Dad!” Russell declared icily. “Is Shandie telling the truth? Were you the one who prepared the dress?”

Yvette shook her head in terror. This was the first time she had ever seen Russell this mad.

He looks like he’s questioning a criminal.

No! I can’t admit to that mistake.

She forced herself to calm down and pinched her thigh without anyone realizing it. The pain caused tears to stream down her cheeks. “Dad, don’t you trust your daughter? Shandie is just an adopted daughter. Even if she’s your niece, you shouldn’t side with her and doubt your daughter!”

In response, Shandie clenched her teeth and exclaimed, “I’m not adopted! I’m my dad’s biological daughter!”

Her sudden revelation shocked both Yvette and Russell into silence.

Arielle, who was usually calm, couldn’t stop herself from arching a brow in surprise. Huh. I can’t believe Shandie revealed Henrick and Cindy’s biggest secret in public.

It was, indeed, a big scandal.

By claiming she was Henrick’s biological daughter, Shandie was announcing that Henrick had cheated on Maureen with Cindy before Maureen’s death.

Arielle snickered silently. Shandie didn’t inherit Cindy’s IQ, but she inherited Henrick’s rashness. Ha! I get to kill two birds with one stone tonight.

Pausing for a while, Arielle pretended not to believe Shandie’s announcement and responded, “Shandie, what are you talking about? You’re adopted by Aunt Cindy. How could you claim to be Dad’s biological daughter?”

“I am!” Shandie stuck her chin up and insisted. “We can take a DNA test if you don’t trust me!”

Right then, Arielle could barely hold in her laughter.

Isn’t the main point about the dress? Why is she insisting she’s Henrick’s biological daughter now?

In the end, Shandie’s foolishness turned out to be a great help to Arielle.
