Chapter 1296 Bad Intentions
However, Arielle had no choice. The medical manuscripts included a lot of recipes to create poison.
If she did not destroy them, the consequences would be dire if they fall into the hands of ill-intentioned people.
To be safe, she could only burn them.
Scanning the crowd, Arielle explained seriously, “They’re important. However, no matter how important they are, they’ll be transformed into weapons against us if they fall into the wrong hands. The medical manuscripts recorded many ways to create poisons that do not have an antidote. If the information is leaked, we don’t know what will happen. Hence, I have no choice but to burn it.”
She knew that a lot of the contestants were genuinely passionate about medicine and most of them were righteous people.
Since they would definitely feel upset upon seeing the medical manuscripts being destroyed, she explained her actions seriously.
At the same time, she was also explaining to Abraham and Cornelius.
Clutching his chest that had just been kicked by Arielle, Donovan stood up slowly.
He glared at Arielle, his gaze emanating hostility, before turning his gaze toward Abraham.
“Dad, these medical manuscripts are so precious! I heard from Queenie that they’ve been passed down by the Mills’ ancestors from generation to generation. Arielle went to all lengths possible just to compete, but she ended up destroying the manuscripts immediately after winning them. She’s filled with bad intentions!” exclaimed Donovan, his tone filled with anguish.
He complained that Arielle had joined the competition with the sole purpose of destroying the medical manuscripts.
By saying all that, he aimed to make Abraham angry.
However, he was left disappointed. Abraham was not even the slightest bit upset about what Arielle did.
“Don, the medical manuscripts are now Ms. Moore’s. She can do whatever she wants to them and we have no right to intervene.”
Abraham glanced at Donovan solemnly, thinking that marrying Queenie to him was an extremely grave mistake.
In fact, he was actually happy that Arielle had destroyed the medical manuscripts.
Just like what Arielle said, the consequences would be unimaginable if the medical manuscripts were to fall into the wrong hands.
He had wanted to destroy them a long time ago. However, since the medical manuscripts had been passed down from generations before him, he could not bear to destroy them personally.
Now that Arielle had done something that he had always wanted to do, he felt overjoyed instead of furious.
This time, he could finally feel relieved.
“Are you toying with us, Mr. Mill? Did we travel all the way here for the competition just to see a brat like her burn the medical manuscripts?” demanded the elder furiously as he glared at Abraham.
With the elder taking the lead, the others also vented their frustration.
“Yeah! He’s just playing with us. No matter what, I want a proper explanation.”
“Yeah! He must give us a proper explanation!”
“We want an explanation!”
“We want an explanation!”
More people started protesting, wanting to force Abraham to tell them the content of the medical manuscripts.
Although the medical manuscripts were burned, they had been with the Mills for so many years that the members definitely knew the prescriptions recorded inside.
Some of them were so jealous that they wanted to strike first. As long as they could take Abraham down, he would have no choice but to reveal the content.
“Mr. Mill, now that the medical manuscripts had been burned, don’t blame me for this!” yelled a thirty-year-old man before he charged straight at Abraham.
When everyone realized what he was planning, they ran toward Cornelius and Abraham as well.
Since the father and son duo were definitely very familiar with the medical manuscripts, the crowd figured they would be able to find out what the contents were just by taking down one of them.
