His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1230

Arielle turned her attention to Cornelius when she noticed an expression change on his face.

Cornelius continued saying with mixed reactions, “When Queenie got discharged from the hospital, she begged my Dad to allow her to run for the patriarch position, and...my dad agreed.”

Cornelius knew Arielle was on bad terms with Queenie, as he had often heard how Queenie had cursed Arielle in the past.

The fact that Queenie wanted to contest for the family's patriarch position meant that these two women would be competing against each other.

Arielle was not triggered by the news. She responded calmly, “Got it.

Thanks for telling me.”

Cornelius looked at her and tried to defuse the tension. “Queenie's temper had improved ever since she came back from the hospital. I don't think she'll give you a hard time tomorrow, but if she did, tell me. My dad and I will not turn a blind eye to it just because she's a family. We'll treat every contender equally, so don't worry.”

“Thanks for the assurance,” Arielle said.

Cornelius' car had finally arrived at the Nightshire residence.

“All right.” Cornelius stopped his car.

“Take a good rest. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow.”

“Okay. Thanks for sending me home tonight.” Arielle got down from the car.

After dropping Arielle off, Cornelius left the Nightshire residence.

Arielle stood in front of the door for a few minutes as if something was holding her back from entering the house.

The security guard on duty could not help but ask, “Why don’t you go in, Mrs. Nightshire? Is there something else you need to do?”

Arielle’s expression stiffened, and she replied, “Yeah, there's still something I need to do.”

For some reason, she didn't have the courage to step into the house.
