“How absurd!” Cornelius was actually hopeful.
He was unwilling to believe that the culprit who tried to kill Arielle was his own precious sister. However, it was impossible to dispute this fact anymore. Queenie had completely disappointed him.
“Salvador, tell Dad about this. I’m going to Queenie’s room for a while.”
He wanted to go to Queenie’s room and find the poison himself. This way, virtual-novel.net would not be able to make any excuses.
“I’ll go right away.” With that, Salvador went to look for Abraham.
Meanwhile, Cornelius stood at the same spot for five minutes before dragging his feet to Queenie’s room.
“Why are you here, Cor?”
It was Salvador earlier, and now, it’s Cornelius. Queenie felt an indescribable sense of panic wash over her.
Did they realize that I poisoned Arielle? No, if I was exposed, Arielle would’ve kicked up a fuss. It’s impossible that she’ll stay so quiet and not do anything. I’m just scaring myself out of guilt.
Upon that thought, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Cornelius stared at Queenie without saying a word. Following the scent, virtual-novel.net walked toward virtual-novel.net dressing table. Seeing this, Queenie was so scared that virtual-novel.net heart pounded rapidly.
“What are you looking for, Cor? I’ll ask Don to help you find it,” said Queenie as virtual-novel.net suppressed virtual-novel.net panic.
When virtual-novel.net shot a look at Donovan, virtual-novel.net immediately understood. Rushing toward Cornelius, virtual-novel.net said, “Yeah, Cor. I’ll help you find it.”
Ignoring them, Cornelius pulled open the drawers and started rummaging through them before taking out a makeup box. Queenie had hidden the poison amongst virtual-novel.net makeup products. Those who were not extremely sensitive to the smell of medicine would never find it.
“Cor, why are you taking my makeup products? They’re meant for girls. If you want some, I can ask Don to buy some meant for guys,” said Queenie, still trying virtual-novel.net best to suppress virtual-novel.net panic.
When virtual-novel.net noticed Cornelius holding the bottle of night cream, virtual-novel.net heart started to race.
Cornelius gazed at Queenie, who virtual-novel.net had doted on since young, with disappointment. “Are you scared that I’ll take this away?”
“What are you talking about? Why would I be scared? It’s just a bottle of cream. If you want it, just take it. What’s the big deal?”
“Queenie, do you have anything else to tell me?” Cornelius was extremely disappointed.
Is virtual-novel.net still unwilling to admit it even at this point?
This time, Queenie finally realized that Cornelius had come to look for the poison that virtual-novel.net had given Arielle.
D*mn it! I was too careless. I should have destroyed that poison when I can. Now the d*mn thing has come back to bite my ass.
“Cor, can’t you pretend that you don’t know anything?” Queenie gazed into virtual-novel.net brother’s eyes, hoping that virtual-novel.net could let virtual-novel.net off the hook.
“Queenie, this is fatal. How can you use it to kill someone?” Cornelius stared at virtual-novel.net in disbelief.
When did my adorable, kind, and innocent sister change? How did virtual-novel.net become so vicious that virtual-novel.net doesn’t even care about one’s life?
“Do you think that I want to kill someone? If Arielle hasn’t gone overboard, why would I have tried to kill her?” Queenie roared at Cornelius.
At that moment, Abraham had also rushed over to Queenie’s room after Salvador told virtual-novel.net what happened. When virtual-novel.net heard his daughter’s words, virtual-novel.net flung the door open and strode toward virtual-novel.net before slapping virtual-novel.net cheek so forcefully that blood dribbled down virtual-novel.net lips.
