Arielle's bizarre gaze sent goosebumps to Queenie's body.
Although Queenie initially thought she had the upper hand over Arielle, she felt that her advantage slowly vanished.
Arielle's gaze is indeed terrifying!
With that, Queenie decided to avoid Arielle's eyes and said, “I don't want to know! Get out now, or else I'll instruct my staff to chase you away!”
In response, Arielle snorted arrogantly and strode away from the hospital.
It wasn't until Arielle had left that Queenie could finally heave a sigh of relief.
After going back to Silverbirch Hospital, she felt uneasy and kept fidgeting.
Shortly after, Cornelius came back.
Out of curiosity, Queenie asked impatiently, “Cor, how did you get to know Queenie?”
Meanwhile, Cornelius was a little surprised to see Queenie in Silverbirch Hospital. “Queenie, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be working in your hospital now?”
Queenie was taken aback by Cornelius' question. Soon, she calmed herself down and came up with an excuse. “The hospital is entrenched with office politics. I don't want to be like them. Besides, I've tendered my resignation, considering that I've learned a lot about modern medicine already.”
“Did you say you have resigned?” Cornelius howled.
Nonetheless, he regained his composure very soon and added noddingly, “It's okay. After all, dad didn't agree with your decision to learn modern medicine in the first place. Besides, Silverbirch Hospital happens to need more staff. We don't have someone who can make decisions whenever I'm outside to visit patients. Also, while working here, you can have more time to prepare for the selection of our family's heir.”
“Well, you haven't answered my question.” Queenie wanted to leave no stones unturned. “How did you get to know Arielle?”
Cornelius' expression froze. Deep down, he knew that Queenie was jealous and didn't have a good impression of Arielle. Hence, he chose not to tell Queenie that he gave Arielle an invitation card to participate in the heir selection. Instead, he briefly explained to Queenie that Arielle lent him a hand when he treated Jennie in the past.
