Chapter 1043
Am I fated to be a backup plan forever? Why am I always one step too late to snag a good man? As if it's not embarrassing enough to seduce a married man, the guy's wife even caught me in the act. If I wake up now, she's going to kill me. I better pretend I'm still unconscious. However, Suella was not cut out for acting. Her eyes were still rolling around behind her eyelids, but someone who had blacked out wouldn't have that kind of reaction.
A smirk curled Ariel's lips. She knew Suella was acting, but she said nothing about it. Instead, she asked, "What's with you and her?"
"Nothing. I don't know her." Danny raised his hand and swore, "I almost got run over. She warned me about it, and the car ran her feet over instead, so I took her back. I swear I'm loyal to you, honey. My heart can contain no one else but you." Ever since Rylantha set him up, Danny guarded his chastity closely. It was why he stayed away from Suella from the moment he saw her.
Suella was incensed. What?! Do you think you're the victim here? You should feel proud you can have a scandal with me!
"I trust you." Ariel smirked. "Even if you were to cheat on me, you'd pick someone with better looks or curves."
Danny froze and shrugged in confusion while Suella was infuriated. Is she implying I'm ugly and not hot? Suella gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her nails were already digging into her flesh. Damn this woman!
Before she could calm down, Ariel said devilishly, "I think she's hurt inside. Perhaps a concussion. We should arrange a craniotomy for her in case her situation worsens."
Hearing her words, Danny finally realized she was merely kidding. He held his laughter in and went along with his wife. "But that's dangerous. She might end up crippled from the waist down. Or even worse, she might live her whole life in a coma."
Suella froze, holding her breath. What the hell? All I did was help him out. How did I end up in a situation like this? This isn't what I expected!
"What can we do?" Ariel continued, "It's all in fate's hands now. Dr. Lorwhal is here, so we might as well turn a room into a makeshift operating room and get on with it."
"No!" Suella leaped away angrily and snapped, "I'm a living person. You can't just decide my fate. This resort is in the middle of nowhere. What if something were to happen to me? I saved your husband's life, and this is how you treat me? How disgusting!"
"No!" Suella leaped away angrily and snapped, "I'm a living person. You can't just decide my fate. This resort is in the middle of nowhere. What if something were to happen to me? I saved your husband's life, and this is how you treat me? How disgusting!"
Ariel crossed her arms, not feeling angry at all. She stared at Suella like she saw a joke. "Oh, you're talking fine. Guess you're not dizzy anymore, huh?"
Angered and humiliated, Suella wanted to hide in a hole. Goddammit! What have I done? Now, they know I was pretending to be unconscious all along.
Since Suella was Alicia's friend, Danny thought this should be enough lessons for her. "Here, have some water." He handed a bottle of water over.
Suella tried to take the water, but someone was faster.
"Sorry." Ariel stuffed the bottle back into Danny's hand and whipped out her bag to get some money. She said, "The water's custom-made for me. It might not be suitable for you. If you're that thirsty, take this money and buy something to drink for yourself." She handed Suella some notes, staring daggers at her. Nobody can try to steal my man.
Suella's face was as red as blood. She knew what Ariel was trying to say, and she was embarrassed that Ariel found out about her intentions. If she took the money, she would be humiliated, but if she didn't, she would look like a fool. In the end, she hobbled away in shame without taking the money.
