Chapter 96

"Mom! I can't take it any longer. I want Arielle to move out now and disappear from my sight! I never want to see her again!" she declared the moment she stepped into the house.

Cindy was busy dealing with her secret overseas slush fund, so she replied impatiently, "I know you don't like her. Do you think I like her? I told you we need to wait for an opportunity to make her slip." It didn't matter whether Arielle grew up in the countryside or not, for she was just a young girl in her twenties.

Arielle was young, so it was pretty easy for her to commit a mistake, especially when it concerned her love life.

Cindy was already busy replaceing the perfect candidate to seduce Arielle.

Right then, she was irritated by how Shandie was kicking up a fuss.

If Shandie was half as clever as Arielle, I wouldn't have to do so much.

As Cindy ignored her, Shandie grew increasingly antsy.

"Mom, it can't wait! If this goes on, we shall be the ones who get kicked out!"

Cindy continued typing furiously on the keyboard and replied without looking up, "Don't worry. You'll be fine as long as you shoot your film obediently. Stop provoking Arielle behind my back." Shandie bit her lips as her face turned ashen.

She had no idea how to inform Cindy about the earlier incident at the film set.

Shandie's sudden silence had Cindy feeling puzzled. The latter looked at her daughter quizzically. It suddenly occurred to her that Shandie should be on the film set instead of at home.

She shut her laptop and asked, "Why are you home at this hour? Are you done for the day?"

In response, Shandie stuttered, "Uh, something happened at the film set. I... Uh, they said..."

Cindy's scowl deepened. She knew her daughter well enough to know that something had happened.

"What on earth happened!" she demanded sternly.

Shocked by Cindy's expression, Shandie's eyes reddened as she explained hastily, "Arielle took the female lead role away from me. I can't resume shooting, and I also have to compensate them one hundred million for breaching the contract. Mom, I need your help!"

Cindy's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say? She took away your role, and you have to compensate one hundred million for breaching the contract?"

Shandie nodded profusely. "Yes, she brought Mr. Nightshire to the set to insult me! Mom, I can't take it anymore. You need to help me. That country bumpkin bullies me! After what her mom did to you, are you going to let her daughter bully me?" "Shut up!" Cindy slammed the table in fury.

She had lost it at the mention of Maureen.

Her eyes reddened while her face contorted in anger.

Shandie knew her mom would lose it when she mentioned Maureen, but she had no idea it would be such an intense reaction. Her body was shuddering in fear, but deep down, she was pleased by Cindy's reaction.

Mom has been living peacefully for too long. I need to provoke her so she regains her senses.

"Where is Arielle?" Cindy choked out.

Shandie's right. Maureen has always been above me. Even though she's dead, the ladies in Jadeborough have always compared us in secret. I can't let her daughter bully my daughter. No way!
