A sardonic smile emerged on the corner of Queeny’s mouth. Though she was smiling, tears involuntarily rolled down her cheeks.
“Felix, you never trusted me. I said I didn’t kill that woman four years ago, but you made me convicted as a murderer. So why are you acting like a good man and displaying your leniency now?”
“I know as long as I’m here, I’ll be an obstacle to your relationship with her. Fine. I’ll leave. However, Felix, don’t forget that you owe me, for your whole life! From now on, no matter what happens, I won’t come to you for help. We will never see each other ever again!”
After she said this, she saw Felix’s pupils quake violently.
Right then, Felix burst out laughing.
“We will not see each other ever again? Fine by me! Queeny, remember what you said today. If you want to leave, just leave. I don’t want to see your face ever again! Don’t you dare come back. Get out now!”
Then, he knocked over a shelf holding potted flowers and stormed out without looking back.
Though he was gone, his fury still seemed to linger in the room.
Servants looked at one another, not knowing what to do for a moment.
They had mixed feelings for Queeny, yet they also deeply sympathized with her.
Donald also felt pitiful about this. He thought the two in love would still get back together after all the hardships.
But to his shock, the two, who had been amicable to each other a moment ago, suddenly became deadly foes. What on earth had happened?
But at the time, Donald was in no mood to wonder about this.
Given Felix’s hot temper, now he had said such harsh words, he was surely capable of doing something more staggering. Thus, Donald needed to go keep an eye on him.
At this thought, he said to Queeny, “Miss Horton, Mr. Bissel only said that in a fit of rage. Don’t take it to heart. I’ll go check on him now.”
Queeny showed a derisive smile.
“Donald, thank you for looking after me for all this time. But as you’ve seen, it’s not that I wouldn’t swallow my pride. No matter how I compromised, he wouldn’t trust me anyway. He no longer sees me as the same person he met when he was little. Likewise, I don’t see him as the same man I used to know. I’ll leave now. Just forget about the past. Donald, don’t worry. I’ll show myself out after I pack my things.”
Donald deeply furrowed his brows.
He knew Queeny and Felix were not the reckless type.
Yet, for some reason, what they did today seemed rather impetuous and bizarre.
But he had no time to think about this. Now things had gone to this far, he, a butler, could no longer do anything to change it.
Thus, he just lowered his head and said regretfully, “Take care then, Miss Horton. If you ever need my help, you can always come to me, even if you don’t stay here anymore.”
This remark manifested that he had considered Queeny a friend of his own.
Donald was Felix’s employee, the butler of the castle.
If Queeny came to him for help after she left and he also provided her with the help, others would naturally think he betrayed Felix.
Still, Donald promised to help Queeny, which proved his sincere care for her.
Queeny then smiled at him.
“Thank you, Donald.”
She didn’t decline his kind offer.
Hearing her reply, Donald said no more. He then turned around and walked out.
After he left the room, other servants also followed him out.
That left Ella and Queeny alone in the room.
