A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 271
Henrick shook his head and barked, “Convey my orders that no one is to mention the wedding. No matter what, the dead takes precedence, so we’ll have Shandie’s funeral first before we talk about the wedding later.”
“Understood!” The new butler hastily left to execute his orders.
Despite his slow-wittedness, he was rather efficient in performing his tasks. Soon enough, no one in the manor dared to mention that matter, for the previous butler’s fate was still vivid in their minds.
Just after Arielle and Vinson drove away from the Southall residence, the car that was driving Louisa and Cindy finally arrived at the manor gates about half an hour later.
The moment Cindy alighted from the car, she sensed something amiss. White flowers hung above the door as though a funeral was in progress.
Hmm?Whywouldtherebeafuneralathome?
When she strode in anxiously, she
immediately caught sight of the wreaths that were placed everywhere.
Her heart abruptly jolted, and her joy at returning home waned.
Someoneinthefamilyhastrulypassedaway?
She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists. But in the next moment, her apprehension was swiftly replaced with delight at the thought that popped into her mind.

Cindy’s heartbeat abruptly sped up, and excitement gripped her.

Right at that moment, she was even tempted to start laughing uproariously.

“Cindy Group…” Cindy muttered to herself.

Ever since Arielle came back, she had never been this happy in a long time. As
she got all the more worked up, she couldn’t help laughing aloud. “Haha…”
Coincidentally, one of the help in mourning attire walked out.
Upon noticing the smile on Cindy’s face, he was instantly floored.

As soon as Cindy lifted her head, she spotted the chagrined expression on the man’s face. Her expression went frosty. Frowning, she demanded hotly, “What kind of expression is that?”
