Chapter 839

“What do you mean by an illegitimate child?” Teddy was confused.

He was still a young boy. Besides, the phrase was new to him. Hence, he looked at Arielle with a puzzled expression.

Arielle covered Teddy’s ears and whispered softly, “Teddy, be a good boy. Do not listen nor look at her.”

Teddy nodded and closed his eyes.

He would obey any instructions from Arielle.

Queenie saw Teddy’s reaction and laughed. “What’s wrong? Do you feel ashamed of your identity? Is that the reason why he’s covering his ears? Come to think of it, is it true that he’s your illegitimate child?”

Arielle smiled and said, “Queenie, did you not learn your lesson? I still have leverage against you. If you continue such arrogance, it will backfire against you.”

“You…” Ironically, Queenie was the person that got triggered.

“Why? Do you finally recall the incident where you drugged me? Do you want to pay a visit to the Specialized Forces Prison?” Arielle was a completely different person from who she was moments ago.

She exuded a terrifying aura.

Teddy, who kept his eyes closed, could feel the sudden change in ambiance.

Even so, he did not open his eyes.

Queenie was infuriated but could not retaliate against her. Deep down, she was worried that Arielle would expose her.

Soon, the Mills would elect a new leader. She could not risk such a negative impact on her reputation.

“Arielle, don’t get ahead of yourself. You’ll suffer the consequences!”Queenie narrowed her eyes.

“Let me tell you this. Although I’m not Henrick’s biological daughter, I do exist in this world. Nobody is allowed to use my background against me. So what if you are your parents’ child? You’re no better than me based on the despicable things that you have done.”

“I…” Queenie was at a loss for words.

“This is my last warning!” Arielle warned coldly, “if I hear anything negative from you, I will release the recording to the public. Your sordid actions will be exposed to the world!”

Arielle chose not to expose Queenie out of the concern that her own reputation would be affected.

However, since everyone knew that she was an illegitimate child, she didn’t care if her reputation would once again be tainted by the scandal.

Arielle confidently continued, “If the matter is exposed, you will be thrust to the limelight. Let’s see if the focus will be on you or me.”

Queenie shivered at the thought.

She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Hold onl” Arielle called out to her.

Queenie came to an abrupt halt. “What more do you want?”

“Apologize.”

Feeling stupefied, Queenie asked again, “What?”

“You have offended me and should apologize to me. Of course, you can choose not to do so, and we will meet in court. I will demand the same remedy from the judge.” Arielle continued accosting her.

Queenie had no choice but to satisfy her demand. She unwillingly uttered, “I’m sorry.”

Arielle raised her eyebrows in response. “I will accept your apology. But this is the last time. Do it again and risk the consequences.”

Queenie was enraged but chose to keep quiet. She swallowed her anger and left afterward.

After Queenie left, Arielle removed Teddy’s hands from his ears. “You can open your eyes now. Let’s go find your daddy and mommy.”

“Okay.” Teddy was understanding and did not ask any questions. He held onto Arielle’s hand as they made their way to the inpatient department.

However…
