Chapter 1267 Determined To Win
Queenie loved Donovan deeply, but the latter had feelings for Arielle in the past. This was why Queenie would easily
get jealous and mad at Arielle. Although Donovan had clarified that he no longer liked Arielle, Queenie still felt
uneasy about it. Who knows if he’s telling me the truth? I’m not a ringworm in his guts, so I can’t read his mind.
She was fearful that the old flame in Donovan would be reignited. So, she decided to send him away deliberately.
“Darling, please take me to my brother.”
“Aren’t you participating in the selection of the head of the family? Why are you going to your brother’s now?”
Donovan asked softly. Deep down, he was hoping to stay back, so that he could see Arielle longer.

requested coquettishly. Left with no choice, Donovan wheeled her out of the hall, and to Cornelius’ study.
Upon reaching, Queenie came up with an excuse to shoo Donovan away and scored some private time with
Cornelius.
“Cor, that b*tch, Arielle, is here to compete for the position as the head of the family. I don’t want to see her at all.
Can you remove her name from the list?” Queenie went straight to the point, acting like a spoiled brat.
As a doting brother, Cornelius felt very sorry for what his sister had to go through. The accident cost her both her
legs and repaid her with a lifetime in a wheelchair. Anyhow, he was conscious that none of these should give her
any right to be willful and unreasonable.
“Queenie, you are now an adult who is married. How could you be so outrageous in your speech?”
“Cor…” She felt wronged.
“Queenie, you shouldn’t call Ms. Moore names. Also, she is qualified to join the selection for the head of the Mills.
So, I won’t cancel her name. Aren’t you in the running for the title too? It’s a fair selection where everyone
competes based on ability. All the best to you!”
“Cor, who’s your sister? Me or Arielle? Why aren’t you helping me? Do you not love me anymore?” Queenie was
nearly in tears.
Cor is well aware of the long history between Arielle and I. Yet, he still lets her participate in the selection. Am I not
important to him anymore?
Hearing Queenie’s irrational accusation, Cornelius’s heart sank. However, he was resolute not to go back on his
original intention.
“Ms. Moore is a skillful medical practitioner, and I admire her capabilities. I won’t take her name off the list. There’s
no need for me to do so, either. Stop targeting Ms. Moore. Once you get to know her better, you will realize that
she’s worthy of your friendship.” Cornelius tousled Queenie’s hair.
He had always wished for his sister to befriend Arielle. However, this remained an extreme challenge when both
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmladies would not show any grace to the other party.
In her anger, Queenie refused to listen to any advice. She shrugged Cornelius’ hand away. “Since you want her in,
she can stay. But let me tell you, she can dream of attaining the position as the head of the Mills. Over my dead
body!” She left furiously after declaring those words.
As Cornelius watched his sister leave, his heart ached. He also felt helpless at the same time.
Queenie returned to the hall. When she saw Arielle, Cornelius’ words started replaying in her mind. She was once
again reminded not to underestimate Arielle since her brother admired her skills too. Thus, Queenie became warier
of her.
“You’d better watch out, Arielle. I’m determined to be the head of the Mills,” taunted Queenie while glowering at
her rival.
Arielle shot a glance at Queenie discreetly.
How many of those present are determined to win the title? I bet all of them do.
