CEO's Revengeful Queen novel Chapter 4

"I heard that Mr Taylor had been admitted to the hospital. Rumour has it that he had drunk drugged wine at the banquet yesterday. Miss, I'm sure Mr. Talylor didn't hit you on purpose..."

Bettina paid close attention to Annetta's expression as she spoke. Annetta, who had been wiping her tears, suddenly looked up at her coldly, "Are you sure he drank drugged wine?"

She was not sure whether it was her own misperception, but Annetta's icy glare seemed to have seen through her lie. 

For a moment, she was stunned.

After that, she felt a chill on her face. Upon coming back to her senses, a gigantic face loomed in front of her. It had terrifying bloodshot eyes, which glinted as if there was a knife hidden in them, and a smile formed on the cracked lips.

 Bettina screamed and fearfully took a step back.

When she had gotten over her shock, she realized that it was Annetta!

Annetta leaned back on the bed and looked at her with a faint smile.

The entire room was silent, and Bettina's heart pounded wildly.

However, the culprit sitting on the bed acted as if nothing had happened. She blinked her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What, what were you doing just now?" Bettina felt resentful when she remembered how this idiot had given her such a sudden scare.

"You didn't answer me, so I wanted to see if you were alright," Annetta said innocently. "I didn't scare you, did I?"

How could Bettina admit that she had been terrified by this ugly monster? She hurriedly said, "No... You couldn't have."

In her daze, Bettina saw that Annetta had already dried her tears. "So Caleb had been drugged. I knew that he wouldn't do such a thing to me," Annetta said softly.
