Ella gave a wry smile.
“But didn’t Mr. Bissel already find out the poisoned cereal was originally prepared for you? You’re the one they tried to poison. Then why has Mr. Bissel suddenly believed you poisoned the cereal to kill Bella?”
Hearing this, Queeny rubbed her temples, feeling troubled.
She said helplessly, “Perhaps… it’s because he’s let his hormones get the better of his rationality. He bought Bella’s one-sided story despite the evidence. What else can I do?”
She sighed heavily.
“I should have given up on him long ago, don’t you think so? From how he reacted to Bella’s previous drowning and falling, I should have realized it doesn’t matter if I did it or not. He simply hates me. He rejoices over my sorrows.
“Therefore, the truth doesn’t really matter. He would finally be satisfied if my heart is broken.”
Speaking of this, she smiled woefully again.
“Never mind. I don’t want to be stuck with him any longer. Ella, take care of yourself after I leave. Bella hates me. As you’ve served me for such a long time, after I’m gone, she will perhaps vent her anger on you. If things get worse, you can quit and find another job somewhere else. The world is your oyster. You can always leave here.”
Ella appeared touched, too.
“Miss Horton…”
Queeny waved and said, “It’s OK. I’ve made up my mind.”
Ella constrained herself from talking her out of this. She then asked, “Where do you plan to go then?”
Queeny thought for a moment and said, “Since they want me dead, other places are probably not safe for me. So, I think I’ll go back to my hometown. Though Mr. Webber, my grandfather, had passed away, his house is still there. I’ll go back there and live in that house for some time.”
Ella nodded after hearing this.
“Then, do look after yourself.”
Queeny nodded and said, “I will.”
After exchanging a few more words, Ella reluctantly went off to do the packing.
At four in the afternoon, Queeny got in a car by herself and left the castle.
As she hadn’t fully recovered, she could not walk out on her own.
For this reason, Felix “mercifully” arranged a car for her. Of course, the car was not luxurious. It was a mere Audi.
The one behind the wheel was not Ford or any of Felix’s other trusted subordinates.
Instead, it was just an ordinary driver.
As the car slowly pulled out of the gate, Bella showed a triumphant smile from behind.
Felix, however, displayed a somber look. He stared fixedly at the place where the car disappeared and didn’t look away until a long while later.
Inside the car.
Queeny felt unperturbed.
Felix had agreed on this plan in secret. Therefore, she had no worries.
Since she needed to convince others that she would not come back again, she didn’t object when she saw Ella pack all her daily necessities up before she left.
Through this poisoning, Queeny learned that some people in this castle must be working for them.
By making this moving out as real as she could, she would make them believe that she was on her own now and it was time to take action.
At first, Queeny planned to stage a getting-back-together with Felix by going out with him on Valentine’s Day.
Felix had the same idea.
However, her mind suddenly changed after she met Felix in the corridor and let him wheel her back to her room.
