Chapter 710
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Not only was Donovan cold toward Queenie, but he also despised her.
âWhat if I say no?â
âThatâs not going to happen. You will have to be responsible, and the only solution to this catastrophe is to marry me.â Queenie crossed her arms confidently.
âIn your dreams!â Donovan pushed her away.
Queenie fell onto the floor and scraped her knee.
âDonovan Baxter!â She was up in arms.
The heartless man turned a deaf ear to her screams, got a cab, and headed straight to Jadeborough University.
Reporters were churning articles and posts, trying to remold Queenieâs image into a temptress who loved having flings.
Her fans, after seeing the pictures of her and Donovan under the same sheets, were shocked to the core. They were convinced that she was a temptress and started bombarding her with menacing remarks.
When Ava and Alice saw the news, they immediately contacted Queenie.
She rushed to the Baxters and insisted that she was framed.
Being a teacher all her life, Alice had never come across anything like this. She almost cried, and with a quivering voice, asked, âWho framed you? What do we do now? I still canât reach Don, though. Heâs fine, right?â
âYeah, heâs not that popular online. A hundred percent of the comments are directed at me. He wonât get into any trouble, but⦠Mrs. Baxter, it seemed like I need to get married to Donovan as soon as possible.â
Although she was still anxious, Alice couldnât conceal her delight. âIs that it? Getting married?â
âYes. If he declared that heâs single, and then we get married, this whole disaster will be over.â
Not only would the disaster come to an end, but it would also attract Queenie more fans. The fans who had turned their backs on her would regret their actions and would be more loyal to her in the future.
Alice bobbed her head in agreement. âThen letâs do it. Once my husband gets back to Jadeborough, weâll start planning the wedding.â
âOkay.â Queenie smiled, but something felt fishy.
That was easy. Could it be a trap? If yes, what would they trap me for? Bah! Iâm just thinking too much.
She shook herself out of her worries, Since things had gotten so bad at this point, she had no other option but to marry Donovan. To her, it didnât matter who her husband was if it wasnât Vinson. Under one condition, thoughâhe had to be in her league.
Donovan was from a family of scholars and like her, graduated from Maxwell University. Things would only get better in the future. They wonât be like Zachary, who was loathed by millions.
Queenie believed that Donovan would yield in pretty soon.
True to her expectations, Marcus called Donovan into his office when the latter got back to the university.
Marcus slammed hard on his table. He was boiling.
âDonovan! Look what youâve got yourself into!â He then shoved his phone into Donovanâs hands Donovan was still oblivious to the fact that the pictures of him and Queenie on the same bed were all over the internet. His face scrunched when he saw them.
âMr. Brown, itâs all a misunderstanding. Iâm not married and weâre justââ
âI donât care if youâre married or not. If the press knows that youâre a tutor here, it will taint the name of the university. Fix it before they find out who youâre. In the meantime, you can go on leave. Iâll get other tutors to cover your classes.â
âBut, the exam for the preparatory class is just around the corner. The rest of the tutor wonât be able to ââ
âEnough! If you actually cared for your students, you shouldnât have been involved in a scandal like this!â
Donovanâs gloom deepened as he walked out of the principalâs office.
Just when he thought things couldnât get any worseâ¦
