Chapter 148: The Miserable Alina

Alina's POV:

The magnificent palace was as cold as ice, and I felt it was freezing me to the bones.

I lay on the bed and turned over in pain.

A thick layer of gauze was wrapped around my neck.

Rufus had strangled me so hard that my windpipe and gullet were both injured.

So now, I could only eat some liquid food.

Queen Laura had sent her servants to call me many times, but I lied that I had a headache.

I couldn't show myself to her.

If she saw the bruises on my neck, she would definitely know that I was the one who danced with
Rufus at the ball.

Although I knew that she was on my side, I wouldn't dare to gamble.

It would be so embarrassing if she knew.

I didn't want Queen Laura to think that I was an idiot.I was afraid that she would throw me away.

Besides, she just stood aside that day and didn't even defend or save me.

Thinking of this made me angry.

I heard the heavy door being pushed open, and Coco came in with the food cart.I propped against the
headboard.



"What is today's food?"

"Pumpkin porridge."

After saying this, Coco lowered her head, carefully took the porridge out, and put it in front of me.

"What? Pumpkin porridge again?"

I took the spoon from Coco's hand and stirred the porridge in the bowl vigorously.

"How many times have I eaten this thing?"

I was lying in the palace every day now, and I could not see anyone.

My only hope was to eat something good.

I didn't expect Coco to send me this cheap pumpkin porridge every day.

"But the doctor said that you can only have porridge for now."

"I know! But can't you change it into another kind of porridge? Red bean porridge is also fine!"

I was so angry that I couldn't help rolling my eyes.

Coco was such an idiot! Coco agreed in a low voice.

Then she leaned over to me with a cunning smile and whispered, "I heard that Cherry was expelled
from the school for stealing.The guards had already thrown all her luggage away."

"Is that true?"

I put down the spoon, pleasantly surprised.



Such news had really lightened up my mood.

"Tell me the details.What happened?"

"Yes, it’s true.Our spy saw it.Cherry was miserable.Prince Rufus' men directly threw her out of the
academy, and she could no longer step into the capital again.She was screaming outside the gate that
she wanted to see Prince Richard.But Prince Richard didn't show up at all.She was embarrassing
herself, I snorted coldly and felt that Coco was no longer annoying.

"Fortunately, you have prepared a dashcam in every dead angle of the academy in advance.From now
on, you should do things more cautiously, and this matter will be over soon."

"I know.But it's all because you are so thoughtful, Miss Quinn.Cherry thought she would be fine if she
dodged the surveillance cameras, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into our trap."

Coco's eyes narrowed as she smiled complacently.

"And she even stole the bracelet.For me, a she-wolf like her is only qualified to serve you as a
slave.She is far inferior to you."

I just snorted coldly and said nothing.

Although I used Cherry as my scapegoat, I was still a loser.I lost to Sylvia.I lost to her miserably.

The failure at the ball made me angry, but I had B nowhere to vent my anger.I could only swallow it
hard.

And I didn't expect Rufus to be so terrifying.

I thought he would at least restrain himself in public.But he didn’t even take King Ethan seriously.



Such an unfathomable and ruthless man doted on Sylvia so much.

How lucky she was! As long as I experienced the feeling of being cherished by such a terrible man, I
would never be able to escape.

I would keep thinking about him all the time, and I would do everything to be the only light in his eyes.

It was as if I was addicted to him.

This feeling made me even more unable to give up on Rufus.

But fortunately, I wasn't exposed this time.

After the wound on my neck healed, I must find an opportunity to drug him again.

At this moment, Coco handed the phone to me.

"Miss Quinn, look! The comments about Prince Rufus on the Internet have all changed."

"What?" I took the phone from her and checked it curiously.
