His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1291

“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, she 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, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Cornelius stared at Queenie without saying a word. Following the scent, he walked toward her dressing table. Seeing this, Queenie was so scared that her heart pounded rapidly.

“What are you looking for, Cor? I'll ask Don to help you find it,” said Queenie as she suppressed her panic. When she shot a look at Donovan, he immediately understood. Rushing toward Cornelius, he 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 her makeup products. Those who were not extremely sensitive to the smell of medicine would never find it.
