Chapter 835

A Beauty With Multiple Masks

At the office entrance, Wendy was standing there with her eyes widened in shock, hardly believing what
she had just heard.

Are my ears playing tricks on me?

She could not believe what Donovan’s wife had just said. Mr. Baxter has fallen in love with his student?

If that student was an illegitimate child, Wendy knew that it had to be Arielle.

Mr. Baxter is in love with Arielle?

How is that possible? From what she remembered, Donovan had always disliked Arielle. He was always
making life difficult for her and was especially strict toward her.

However, judging by the look on the man’s face, Wendy knew that she had heard it correctly.

Mr. Baxter is indeed in love with Arielle!

That was definitely a shocking piece of news.

In order to avoid being seen by Donovan and Queenie, Wendy quickly hid behind the walls and
continued listening to the conversation between the two. Holding her papers in her hands, she switched
on the voice recorder on her phone.

Meanwhile, inside the office, neither Queenie nor Donovan noticed a fleeting figure outside.

The corners of Queenie’s lips curled up into a smug smile, and leaning against the desk, she looked at
Donovan nonchalantly and said, “Are you angry at me for exposing you? Well, I did force you to marry
me, but it’s all because of you. If you had not fallen in love with Arielle,”



Donovan gritted his teeth and interrupted Queenie’s words.

“Queenie, you should really stop pushing your luck! It won’t do you any good if you expose me. If you
hadn’t fooled me into drugging Arielle, I wouldn’t have landed myself in today’s state, having to marry
someone like you in order to continue teaching at the school!”

“Someone like me?” Queenie sneered and continued, “What do you mean by ‘someone like me? You
and I are the same. Do you think you’re any better than me? Let me tell you, if I fail to become the next
patriarch of the Mill family, I will definitely drag you down to hell with me.”



As a fresh swell of rage rose in Donovan, he slammed the table again. However, Queenie did not back
down. In fact, she lifted her chin and continued, “Donovan, since we are already married, we are on the
same boat now and are bound together for good and for ill! If you are still unable to get over Arielle, can
wait for you. But with regards to me being the next patriarch of the Mill family, I won’t allow you to be my
obstacle.”

Donovan’s face was flushed with anger as he marinated in resentment.

However, the man was still able to remain rational. He knew that he could not afford to be embroiled in
any scandals before graduating from Maxwell University. As such, he had no choice but to cooperate
with Queenie.

Judging by her husband’s expression, Queenie knew that Donovan had already agreed to compromise.

Softening her tone, the woman said, “I’ll pick you up from here at five o‘clock sharp. Don’t be late as we
need to arrive at the Mill residence by six.”

Queenie turned and left immediately after she finished speaking, leaving no chance for Donovan to

refuse.

When Wendy heard footsteps nearing, she immediately acted as if she had just climbed up the stairs
and arrived at Donovan’s office.

“Mr. Baxter,” Wendy greeted as she opened the door. When she saw Queenie, who was just walking out,
she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Oh! Mrs. Baxter, you’re here too? I’m a fan of yours! heard
that you have excellent medical skills.”

After all, everyone enjoyed hearing compliments.

With a faint smile, Queenie replied, “Thank you. If you have any health concerns next time, feel free to
look for me at Rocher Private Hospital.”

“Thanks, Mrs. Baxter!” Wendy replied with a broad smile on her face.

“I shall make a move first, Donovan.” Queenie waved to Donovan, who acknowledged with a nod.

In front of others, the two of them still behaved like a loving newly–wed couple.
