The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 83

"It seems the horse accidentally got pricked by this thing, which is why it went crazy and bolted."

Mika looked relieved as she glanced up at Quincy, speaking in a half-joking tone.

"Looks like we can't blame Arthur, and we can't blame the horse either.

If anyone suddenly had such a long earring jammed into their rear, they'd run around screaming in pain too, right?"

She didn't point out where the earring came from; that was something Quincy needed to investigate himself.

As a guest, she only needed to drop a hint and put in a good word for the innocent party.

As for how that earring got there, she trusted Quincy wasn't stupid and would figure out the reason soon enough.

"You are the most important guest today, and you helped clear up this huge misunderstanding. Your opinion is obviously highly valued."

Quincy wrapped the earring in a silk handkerchief, tucked it into his pocket, and shot Arthur a smiling glance.

"Arthur, you'd better thank Ms. Miller."

Arthur let out a massive sigh of relief and immediately showered Mika with continuous, grateful thanks.

He had assumed that with Lucas getting injured like that, he would definitely lose his job today.

He hadn't expected this Ms. Miller's words to hold more weight than that Ms. Sutton's, finally clearing his name.

Mika exchanged a few polite pleasantries with a smile before she and Quincy prepared to head to the villa to find Lucas.

Still reeling from the scare, Arthur led the horse back to the stable. Staring at the tiny puncture wound on the horse's rear that one would miss without looking closely, he suddenly remembered something.

He sprinted toward Quincy and Mika, who were already walking away. "Boss, Ms. Miller! Wait a moment!"

"I just remembered where I've seen that earring before!"

...

Quincy and Mika took the elevator to the third-floor guest rooms.

Pushing open the door to Lucas's room, they found the family doctor had already re-bandaged his wounds.

Lucas was currently sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling on a T-shirt, while Seraphina sat quietly on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, keeping her gaze modestly averted from his direction.
