Chapter 424 Death So Close [2]
Laura Pinley looked at Ariel Morris curled up on the ground, in very poor condition. She paused in silence, shaking her head, "We can’t take her to the hospital. If we do, the Seys Family will find out. If Arlo Seys finds out the child had an accident at our home, we can’t afford to pay the price they’d demand."Damien Morris nodded, glanced at Ariel Morris, his eyes indifferent, his tone equally cold, "Laura is right. We can’t let the Seys Family know Ariel Morris had an accident at our home! Otherwise, not only will the Morris Family pay the price, but even Susan will face a heavy penalty. Arlo Seys is cold and ruthless. If he gets angry, he won’t recognize us as Ariel’s foster parents and go easy on us!"
Beside them, Susan Saxton clutched Kylie Morris’s hand, her eyes red with urgency as she looked at Laura Pinley and Damien Morris, her voice tinged with fear and a sobbing tone, "Mom, Uncle, Aunt, I’m scared... I’m scared of Arlo Seys, he definitely won’t spare me..."
Howard Saxton’s eyes narrowed slightly, "If you don’t want Arlo Seys to find out, then we must conceal the news of Ariel Morris’s accident!"
Kylie Morris comfortingly patted Susan’s hand, signaling her not to panic, and then nodded to everyone, "I support what Howard and my brother and sister-in-law said!"
Scarlett Morris glanced at Ariel Morris on the floor, "Then how do we deal with Ariel Morris?"
Kylie Morris’s eyes glinted with cruel ruthlessness, her tone icy, "First, put her in the bathtub in the room’s bathroom. She’s bleeding, and if the floor gets stained with blood and someone sees it, what then? In the bathtub, it can be washed away with water, with no traces left."
Howard Saxton nodded, "Alright, Uncle, the two of us will carry Ariel Morris upstairs. Aunt, Mom, along with Susan and Scarlett, you clean up the bloodstains on the floor. Don’t let the servants find out!"
Laura Pinley walked over, searched Ariel Morris, and found her phone, holding it up in her hand, "We must confiscate this, to prevent her from calling Arlo Seys." With that, she pressed the power-off button on the phone.
Ariel Morris’s eyelids slowly drooped down as she heard what they said, her body and heart cold as ice.
This group is truly heartless, fearing Ariel’s accident will lead to Arlo’s revenge, they would rather let her die than save her...
Ariel Morris fainted, and Howard Saxton and Damien Morris carried her upstairs, doing as Kylie Morris had just instructed.
Meanwhile, Kylie Morris and Laura Pinley, along with their daughters, cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor.
When everything was back to normal, they sat on the sofa discussing how to handle Ariel Morris’s situation.

Arlo Seys returned to Era Enterprise and learned from Nicole Seys that his mother had been chatting with Ariel Morris, assuming it was just a casual conversation, and went back to his office to deal with his business affairs.
Callan Walkers walked into the office with a document, handing it to Arlo Seys for signing. After signing it, Arlo handed the document back to Callan, who casually remarked, "President, it’s already two o’clock, and you haven’t had lunch yet? Are you really starting now to earn milk powder money? Please, our President Seys, the profit from the contract you signed with President Forest today is enough to cover your son’s and daughter’s milk powder money," Callan joked before suddenly adding, "and all other living expenses."
Arlo Seys, thinking of how he now had the person he loved and the child Ariel was carrying, his face softened, a gentle smile appeared, and his eyes were warm.
"Tsk tsk, President Seys, this icy demeanor of yours will sooner or later be turned into a warm man by Miss Morris. This smile is too warm! If you walk out like this, all the women employees in Era will scream!"
