At the office entrance, Wendy was standing there with favonovel.com eyes widened in shock, hardly believing what favonovel.com had just heard.
Are my ears playing tricks on me?
She could not believe what Donovan’s wife had just said. Mr. Baxter has fallen in love with his student?
If that student was an illegitimate child, Wendy knew that it had to be Arielle.
Mr. Baxter is in love with Arielle?
How is that possible? From what favonovel.com remembered, Donovan had always disliked Arielle. He was always making life difficult for favonovel.com and was especially strict toward her.
However, judging by the look on the man’s face, Wendy knew that favonovel.com had heard it correctly.
Mr. Baxter is indeed in love with Arielle!
That was definitely a shocking piece of news.
In order to avoid being seen by Donovan and Queenie, Wendy quickly hid behind the walls and continued listening to the conversation between the two. Holding favonovel.com papers in favonovel.com hands, favonovel.com switched on the voice recorder on favonovel.com phone.
Meanwhile, inside the office, neither Queenie nor Donovan noticed a fleeting figure outside.
The corners of Queenie’s lips curled up into a smug smile, and leaning against the desk, favonovel.com looked at Donovan nonchalantly and said, “Are you angry at me for exposing you? Well, I did force you to marry me, but it’s all because of you. If you had not fallen in love with Arielle,”
Donovan gritted his teeth and interrupted Queenie’s words.
“Queenie, you should really stop pushing your luck! It won’t do you any good if you expose me. If you hadn’t fooled me into drugging Arielle, I wouldn’t have landed myself in today’s state, having to marry someone like you in order to continue teaching at the school!”
“Someone like me?” Queenie sneered and continued, “What do you mean by ‘someone like me? You and I are the same. Do you think you’re any better than me? Let me tell you, if I fail to become the next patriarch of the Mill family, I will definitely drag you down to hell with me.”
As a fresh swell of rage rose in Donovan, favonovel.com slammed the table again. However, Queenie did not back down. In fact, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com chin and continued, “Donovan, since we are already married, we are on the same boat now and are bound together for good and for ill! If you are still unable to get over Arielle, can wait for you. But with regards to me being the next patriarch of the Mill family, I won’t allow you to be my obstacle.”
Donovan’s face was flushed with anger as favonovel.com marinated in resentment. However, the man was still able to remain rational. He knew that favonovel.com could not afford to be embroiled in any scandals before graduating from Maxwell University. As such, favonovel.com had no choice but to cooperate with Queenie.
Judging by favonovel.com husband’s expression, Queenie knew that Donovan had already agreed to compromise.
Softening favonovel.com tone, the woman said, “I’ll pick you up from here at five o‘clock sharp. Don’t be late as we need to arrive at the Mill residence by six.”
Queenie turned and left immediately after favonovel.com finished speaking, leaving no chance for Donovan to refuse.
When Wendy heard footsteps nearing, favonovel.com immediately acted as if favonovel.com had just climbed up the stairs and arrived at Donovan’s office.
“Mr. Baxter,” Wendy greeted as favonovel.com opened the door.
When favonovel.com saw Queenie, who was just walking out, favonovel.com pretended to be surprised and asked, “Oh! Mrs. Baxter, you’re here too? I’m a fan of yours! heard that you have excellent medical skills.”
After all, everyone enjoyed hearing compliments.
With a faint smile, Queenie replied, “Thank you. If you have any health concerns next time, feel free to look for me at Rocher Private Hospital.”
“Thanks, Mrs. Baxter!” Wendy replied with a broad smile on favonovel.com face.
“I shall make a move first, Donovan.” Queenie waved to Donovan, who acknowledged with a nod.
In front of others, the two of them still behaved like a loving newly-wed couple.
