Chapter 699
All this time, Queenie had been hoping to take the miracle doctor, who had neutralized the snake venom, as her master. And now, Vinson had just revealed that Arielle was the very person she had been looking for.
She absolutely refused to believe it.
Glancing at her impatiently, Vinson went on snappishly. “That’s it. I’ve talked enough nonsense with you. Getting back to business, explain to me why on Earth did you develop this sort of drug to help Donovan harm Arielle?”
Arielle stepped forward, her mind filled with befuddlement. “As you said yourself, there is no bad blood between us, so why did you do this? It’s obvious that Donovan couldn’t have acquired this drug by himself. It must have been made by you. Now, just drop the act and answer me.”
With one swift motion, Vinson wrapped his fingers around Queenie’s neck brutally and barked, “Tell us!”
Struggling beneath Vinson’s grip, Queenie gazed into his eyes, which were entirely devoid of sympathy.
He obviously held no regard for her at all.
Whatever feelings she thought he had toward her were solely products of her own imagination.
As the pain of suffocation overlapped with the agony in her heart, she was filled with nothing but sheer despair.
At that moment, all the hopes and wishes she had on Vinson instantly collapsed.
“Hahaha…” A burst of maniacal cackle escaped her lips.
Looking at her, Arielle frowned as if she was looking at a madwoman.
In fact, Queenie was a madwoman.
She had completely lost her rationality, laughing ceaselessly until tears poured out of her eyes.
“Why? Why did you have to snatch what’s supposed to be mine from me?” she screamed at Arielle hysterically.
Arielle merely stared at her, completely bewildered.
Turning to Vinson, Queenie went on. “I’ve been in love with you for years, Vinson, but you’ve never cared about me! Because of you, I spent all my years in university drowning in inferiority, feeling as if I would never deserve you. Even after graduation, I’ve never given up any effort to keep improving. Because of you, I gave up the opportunity to study abroad and chose to stay at Morgan Enterprise instead. And you? You chose to be with this girl with no background who is nothing but a pretty face! So, tell me, Vinson, how is any of this
fair to me?”
Suddenly, everything became clear to Arielle.
I see… So, this is all about jealousy. Looks like she’s been ill-intentioned toward me ever since we met at the
supermarket.
Then, she took out her phone and stopped the voice recorder.
The reason they had spent so much time interrogating Queenie was so that she could obtain the recording of her confession.
After saving the file, she glanced sideways at Vinson, only to see that he had not budged an inch and his expression had turned even colder.
His voice was filled with scorn when he spoke. “Do you think I must love you just because you fell in love with me? I feel sick just thinking of that!”
Queenie stared at him, wide-eyed, as the sparkle in her gaze vanished without a trace.
He feels sick by my love toward him?
Hearing Vinson’s words, Arielle felt a slight shudder on her fingertips as well.
If he knows about my feelings toward him, would he feel the same?
With a wave of his hand, Vinson summoned his bodyguard and ordered him, “Send her to Grandview Hotel but don’t use the front entrance. Let her have my private suite.”
Sensing something wrong, Queenie snapped back to her
senses at once and asked in a panic, “What are you trying to do? No, I don’t want to go to that place! Let me go!”
Taking over the “perfume” in Arielle’s hand, Vinson stated coolly, “Weren’t you thinking of using this to sabotage her? It’s about time we return this favor to you!”
Suddenly getting why Vinson ordered for her to be sent to the hotel, Queenie began to struggle vigorously under the bodyguard’s grip.
“No! Let me go! Let me go!”
However, she was hardly the opponent of those tall and strong bodyguards.
With a firm blow to her neck, one of the bodyguards knocked her out instantly.
“Other than that perfume, give her some aphrodisiac as well,” commanded Vinson in a frigid tone.
