Chapter 697
Queenie was unsure why Vinson would appear there and at the right timing.
Why is he still helping Arielle when she’s already kicked out of her house? Our plan would have worked if he were
late by half an hour. After all, he would never be together with a woman who is not intact! It‘s such a pity, for the
plan was so close to succeeding!
A mixture of different emotions swarmed inside of Queenie.
Ignoring Queenie, Arielle turned to look at Donovan.
As Rayson had poured water on him, the perfume on him was significantly milder than before.
At that, she heaved a sigh of relief, for she no longer needed to worry that the bodyguards would be infected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, Arielle instructed Rayson, “Go on and search for his perfume.”
“Of course.” Rayson immediately walked over and found a perfume bottle in Donovan’s pocket.
After taking a sip of cold water, Arielle finally found herself sobering up after feeling pain from the wound inside her
mouth.
Upon seeing that, Vinson ordered his bodyguards to open the windows to disperse the remaining scent.
Arielle would have dealt with both Queenie and
Donovan at ease if not for the perfume. Both of them would not even have gotten the chance to even go near her.
She could only blame her carelessness, as she did not expect a teacher to do something like that.
It seems that I need to put my guard up to the people around me.
Arielle rested for a while and double-confirmed that she was no longer under the influence of the perfume. After
that, she walked in front of Queenie while holding the perfume.
When Queenie saw what she was holding, her pupils constricted.
Leaning down, Arielle removed the rag from her mouth and asked expressionlessly, “Did you give this to Donovan?”
Immediately, Queenie shook her head and replied, “I It’s not me. I don’t know anything about this. I have nothing to
do with this plan either.”
“Is that so?” Arielle muttered amusingly. “So it wasn’t you that held me down when I tried to escape?”
Queenie’s face turned pale, and she shivered when feeling the gaze Vinson was sending her way.
I can’t let Donovan drag me down!
Nibbling on her lip, she explained, “Donovan forced me to do this. When you went downstairs to send them off, he
threatened to get rid of me if I disagreed. I gave in as I was too scared of him. Arielle, I don’t have any motive to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmharm you! I’m a victim too, so don’t do this to me.” When she was speaking the final sentence, she gazed at Vinson
with teary eyes, trying to invoke pity from him.
Although she knew that she was quite the looker, Vinson would never pay her any heed no matter how hard she
tried.
Letting out a snort, Arielle grabbed her hair and said, “The last person that provoked me just had their funeral. It
seems you’re not willing to tell the truth even on the verge of death. Am I right?”
However, Queenie overlooked the vicious intent in her eyes and continued denying, “Mr. Nightshire, I’m also an
alumnus of Maxwell University. I even helped you out back there at Soir Coffee. You can’t look on as she slanders
me!”
Staring at her coldly, Vinson threatened, “So you’re Queenie Mill? If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll get rid of not only
you but your entire family. Don’t make her ask for a second time. Hurry up and say it!”
