A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278 The Assassin

“She got lucky. I believe you’ll do better than her tomorrow.”

Right then, he suddenly recalled the assassin that Arielle brought back with her.

Clenching his fists, he pretended to ask nonchalantly, “What about the assassin? How did Dad and Cor punish him?”

Queenie was delighted, for she assumed Donovan wanted to chat with her. They were married for a long while, but it was always her who initiated the conversation, and Donovan would usually answer her half-heartedly.

“My dad wants to start an investigation to find out how he entered Mount Blackcloud,” she revealed honestly. “Mount Blackcloud is our territory, and Arielle nearly got murdered there. Thus, my dad has to give her an explanation. However, Arielle rejected his offer and told him to keep the assassin locked up for now. She wants my dad to find out how he got into Mount Blackcloud. After the selection ends, she would get Vinson to investigate the rest.”

Donovan grew flustered when he heard that Vinson would be taking over the case soon. Abraham might not find anything, but I can’t say the same for Vinson. If Vinson discovered that I was the one who hired the assassin to kill Arielle, things would not end well for me, even with the Mills’ protection.

Regret crept up Donovan’s heart at that thought. Why did I fail to hold myself back? She might’ve beaten me up and insulted me, but that’s no big deal. Why did I contact the person recklessly? What should I do now?
