Queenie was overjoyed.
Donovan's recent change in behavior had convinced her that he was finally falling for her.
Even without Vinson, I can still have a blissful marriage that others envy.
However, she watched as his expression visibly darkened in the next second. In a cold voice that sent chills down her spine, he snarled, “Why are you here? Get lost!”
Donovan had always been a man with a big ego. To him, Queenie was nothing but a tool meant for him to pass the time. Yet, that very tool had just witnessed the most devastating moment in his life. There was no way he would be able to take it calmly.
Frightened by his tone, she took a few steps backward before asking with a pale face, “D-Donovan, what's the matter?”
“Did you not hear me?” he snapped before landing a slap across her cheek. “Get lost!”
At that, Queenie held her aching cheek and ran off, tears falling from her eyes.
Never did she expect her husband to respond to her enthusiasm with a slap. She had even brought congratulatory gifts and flowers for him with her.
Anger, misery, and disappointment flooded her senses as she ran across the road without looking at the cars. Right then, a speeding car slammed into her.
Followed by a loud bang, Queenie was sent flying two meters away.
That thunderous sound and horrifying scene gave Donovan a fright. It was never his intention to have her hit by a car. He had only been incensed at that moment and wanted to retain his dignity before her.
While dashing toward her, he cried out, “Queenie? Queenie!”
The shrieks and apologetic words merged with all kinds of din, turning the entrance of the campus into a chaotic scene.
Unlike what was going on outside, the inside of the campus was peaceful as ever.
Arielle kept the matter about Donovan from Terry and the others except for Jared.
After hearing what had transpired, Jared clapped gleefully. “A shameless teacher like him should have been driven out a long time ago. If someone like him can get into Maxwell University, I think I'll do just fine.”
