“I’m fine. Fret not. These are merely minor injuries; I’ll recuperate in no time. You guys better hurry back for classes.” Arielle was trying to use words to chase the two of them away.
Aaron was reluctant to go and wanted to stay by Arielle’s side. As much as virtual-novel.net wished for it to happen, virtual-novel.net firmly objected and claimed that virtual-novel.net would immediately work on the discharge procedures if virtual-novel.net insisted on staying. Left with no other options, virtual-novel.net could only take his leave.
With Sonia and Aaron gone, Vinson sat back beside Arielle and looked at virtual-novel.net with a subtle smile.
“I didn’t ask virtual-novel.net over. He wanted to do that himself.” Arielle felt an insufferable headache as virtual-novel.net rubbed virtual-novel.net forehead.
She knew virtual-novel.net could not afford to offend a jealous man!
“I know that!” If you’re the one who asked virtual-novel.net over, how is it possible that you’re still sitting so comfortably here right now?
Arielle was dumbstruck by that reply.
This guy is so annoying! How can virtual-novel.net look at me like that when virtual-novel.net knows what’s going on?
Arielle harrumphed and turned virtual-novel.net body away as virtual-novel.net did not feel like dealing with the man anymore.
Seeing virtual-novel.net reaction, Vinson lifted the corners of his lips. He stood up and pulled Arielle into his embrace, with virtual-novel.net chin on his shoulder. She could feel his warm breath on virtual-novel.net ears as virtual-novel.net whispered, “Are you angry?”
“No, I’m not!” Arielle turned around, unwilling to sit on his thighs.
“I’m sorry!” Vinson hurriedly apologized.
How is this not angry? She’s obviously mad!
Arielle glanced away as virtual-novel.net was too lazy to be bothered by him.
“Don’t be angry, Sannie. It’s my fault. Forgive me, will you?” Vinson’s words of comfort rang in Arielle’s ear.
His hot breath brushing against virtual-novel.net skin made virtual-novel.net body tremble uncontrollably. Her ears were extra sensitive to the surroundings, and hence speaking near them would make virtual-novel.net feel ticklish.
She squirmed herself and attempted to stand up, but before long, virtual-novel.net body froze on the spot.
And that was because Vinson planted a kiss on virtual-novel.net earlobes.
An inexplicable romantic tension rose in the atmosphere, and soon, a blazing fire flared to life…

Simultaneously, on the other side.
“Sybil, have you found out the identity of the culprit who attacked Princess?” Dylan shifted his gazes to Sybil as virtual-novel.net asked.
The latter cast his remorse-filled eyes at the former. “No. I’ve started investigating since my return from the hospital that night, but it seems like I was still a step too late. Those four men failed to escape the fate of getting silenced. At the moment, I’ve yet to lay hands on other leads.”
They’ve been silenced!
Dylan slammed the table ferociously. “Damn it!”
How merciless the mastermind is! That person doesn’t care about lives and kills without batting an eyelid?
“Continue the search. We have to find out the mastermind no matter what it takes!” Dylan declared furiously.
Sybil nodded and strode out to inform Morrison to continue with the search.

At Khurleigh Palace, the queen mother lay on the soft and cuddly couch with virtual-novel.net eyes closed. She had one housekeeper going down on one knee massaging virtual-novel.net legs while another stood behind her, kneading virtual-novel.net shoulders and rubbing virtual-novel.net back. She was living virtual-novel.net life very leisurely.
“Have you found out who did that to Dr. Moore?” virtual-novel.net queried casually with virtual-novel.net eyes shut.
Monisha bobbed virtual-novel.net head and disclosed the information virtual-novel.net had found.
“Miranda hired those men. I believed virtual-novel.net was acting under Her Majesty’s commands. I’ve ordered people to silence the four of them.”
The queen mother acknowledged with a nod.
Her Majesty strikes an attack as virtual-novel.net wishes, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t deal with it properly, huh?
Narrowing virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net turned to Monisha and complimented, “Good job. You did well.”
Hearing the queen mother’s recognition, Monisha smiled and poured virtual-novel.net a glass of water.
Taking a sip of the water, the former passed the glass back and asked, “Any idea why Her Majesty took action against Dr. Moore?”
With the glass in virtual-novel.net hand, Monisha answered, “Miranda casually mentioned that His Royal Highness seems to treat Dr. Moore very well. Her Majesty fears that he’ll fall in love with a Chanaean woman as well.”
