Chapter 1299 Why Are You Arresting Me
“Have them take her away, Blake!” Vinson ordered.
He wasn’t about to forgive anyone who dared to harm Arielle.
“M-Mr. Nightshire, I…” Abraham opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat. As he had confidently given Vinson permission to deal with the situation just moments ago, he couldn’t bring himself to stop him after the stunt Queenie pulled.
“Feel free to speak your mind, Mr. Mill.”
Vinson knew Abraham probably wanted him to spare Queenie, but he couldn’t bring himself to forgive anyone who tried to harm Arielle.
“What Queenie did to Ms. Moore was reprehensible and unforgivable. I know I’m not in a position to make such a request, but will you please hand Queenie over to the police instead?” Abraham said, much to Queenie’s surprise.
What? Instead of begging Vinson to let me go, Dad is asking him to hand me over to the police instead? Why? Why doesn’t he beg Vinson to spare me? Does he not realize what will happen to me if I get arrested?
She stared at Abraham in despair as she screamed, “H-How could you hand me over to the police, Dad? From now on, you’re no longer my father! Do you hear me? You’re no longer my father!”
Abraham felt disappointed when he heard that.
Why doesn’t she understand that I’m doing this for her own good? Does she not know the kind of person Vinson is? If he takes her back to his house, I’d receive the news of her death in a few days or less! Handing her over to the police is the only way to save her life right now!
Despite what Queenie did, Cornelius couldn’t just sit by and watch his sister get taken away to her doom. As such, he had no choice but to beg Arielle for mercy. “Ms. Moore, I know Queenie has done something unforgivable, but could you please have the police handle this instead?”
Arielle truly did admire the Mills, so seeing Abraham and Cornelius beg them to spare Queenie softened her heart. “Hey, Vinson, let’s hand her over to the police and let them take legal action against her instead, okay?” she whispered while tugging on his arm.
Since she asked, Vinson had no choice but to have Blake send Queenie to the police station instead. Donovan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his crisis had been averted.
While he was grateful for Queenie taking the fall for him, he couldn’t help but find her actions incredibly foolish.
I’ve only seen married couples ditching each other in times of crisis. She’s probably the only one stupid enough to pin the blame entirely on herself!
Judging by the look of relief on Donovan’s face after Queenie was taken away, Arielle could tell that she had deliberately taken the fall for him.
Even so, she decided to keep what she had seen to herself as Queenie did really try to poison her.
Of course, she wasn’t about to let Donovan off the hook so easily either.
Arielle then pulled Vinson close and whispered something into his ear.
“What? Why didn’t you say so sooner?” Vinson glared at her as his anger started to build up.
“I didn’t want to worry you. Besides, I’m fine now, ain’t I?” Arielle replied with a smile.
Vinson then asked Sasha to call the police and have them come over. Thinking it was for them to take Queenie away, the others didn’t give it much thought.
It wasn’t until the police arrived and approached Donovan with handcuffs that he realized something was amiss.
He wasn’t sure why the police wanted to arrest him, but he tried to make a run for it as he didn’t want to get caught. Surely enough, the police managed to catch him and put him in handcuffs.
“What did I do? Why are you arresting me?” Donovan shouted angrily.
