Chapter 698
Queenie’s heart immediately shattered into pieces.
It was clear to her that Vinson’s trust toward Arielle was unwavering and he intended to protect her no matter
what.
Queenie had never reckoned Vinson would allow a girl to occupy such an important place in his heart. He was not a
man who easily opened himself up to others, and he rarely trusted anyone.
Besides, his attitude toward girls had always been indifferent as well. That might have explained why he had never
been involved in any scandals throughout all those years.
So, what’s happening now? Could he really have fallen for Arielle, a girl who’s an absolute nobody?
She shut her eyes for a moment and then reopened them to reveal a pair of sorrowful eyes that also held a
resolute look at the same time.
“It really wasn’t me,” she firmly denied it again.

Queenie was not a fool. Being aware of how much Arielle meant to Vinson, she knew she could not possibly admit
to the act without invoking Vinson’s wrath
Glaring at Queenie with eyes that were cold as ice, Arielle shook her head as she stated, “I’m giving you one last
chance. Out with the truth, or I’ll slap you for every lie you tell.”
“It really wasn’t-”
Slap!
Arielle struck her with a tight slap before she could even finish her sentence.
Queenie’s head swung to the side at once, and her left cheek instantly swelled up before everyone’s eyes.
“Y-You slapped me?” Queenie’s eyes widened with disbelief as she stared at Arielle.
As the only daughter of the Mill family, a revered family of doctors nonetheless, she had been raised like a precious
little princess and had never ever been slapped in the face like this before.
“Yes, I did. So what?” Arielle raised her chin at her threateningly. “If you still won’t spit the truth, I will do it again.
And I promise the next slap will be harder than the last one.”
The drug’s effect was fading away, and she was beginning to regain her strength.
Thus, the slap she had just given Queenie was nothing.
Gritting her teeth, Queenie shouted, “How dare you? I’m the only daughter of the Mill family! You don’t even belong
to the Southall family anymore, and yet you’re threatening to hit me?”
The Mills were among one of the most prominent
families in the field of medicine within Chanaea. Being highly proficient in ancient Chanaean medicine, they were all
superb physicians.
To the members of the high society, the only thing more valuable than wealth and power was their lives. Thus, they
would never intentionally offend the family with renowned doctors.
“Oh, is that so?” sneered Arielle. With that, she raised her hand again and struck Queenie with another slap across
the face.
Immediately, Queenie’s head filled up with a buzz as her head twisted sideways again.
In fact, Arielle was deliberately holding back her strength. She did not want to end up killing that girl.
“Y-You…” Queenie was trembling with anger from head to toe. “How dare you hit me! Don’t expect to be treated by
any good doctors if you ever get sick again!”

makes you think she needs your treatment?”
Utterly stunned, Queenie stammered as she asked, “M Miracle doctor? W-What do you mean?”
Vinson glanced at Arielle with a proud look on his face. “Arielle was the one who treated and cured the customers
who went down with food poisoning at Soir Coffee the other time. She chose not to expose her
identity because she preferred to keep things on the down-low. I am only telling you since you asked. Her medical
skills are way superior to yours and anyone in your family.”
“H-How could this be possible? She’s too young to be the miracle doctor!” Queenie practically screamed out those
words in disbelief.
It was not that she had never suspected of this before, but after examining the poison and listening to Zachary’s
explanations, she became certain that the miracle doctor had to be someone else.
“It’s up to you what you choose to believe.” Vinson’s voice was soft, but his tone was brimming with impatience.
Staring at him intently, Queenie realized that he was indeed speaking the truth.
Arielle is the miracle doctor I’ve been hoping to train under?
There was simply no way she could accept that fact.
