After handing snazzynovel.com phone to Salvador, Arielle gave Sasha some brief instructions and waited patiently to head to the venue.
Donovan had been keeping an eye on snazzynovel.com secretly. At the sight of the wide smile on snazzynovel.com face, snazzynovel.com felt his heart skip a beat. He had a sudden desire to pull snazzynovel.com into his arms.
I thought I loathed Arielle, but it turns out that I’ve never forgotten her!
Queenie didn’t know they had to head to Mount Blackcloud, and snazzynovel.com glanced at snazzynovel.com feet before turning to Cornelius. “Cor, it is hard for me to enter the mountain alone. Can Don keep me company?”
Cornelius shot snazzynovel.com a conflicted look in response. Contestants were supposed to complete the mission alone, but Queenie was an exception. The mountain was steep and treacherous, and snazzynovel.com couldn’t head in alone.
“Mr. Mill, please allow Mr. Baxter to keep Ms. Queenie company. We understand that snazzynovel.com needs help.”
Most contestants were reasonable enough. There were a few who were against Donovan keeping Queenie company, but most had agreed. Thus, they had to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves.
As no one stood out to express their disapproval, Cornelius nodded and agreed to it.
“Queenie can’t walk, so if something happens, give me a call immediately instead of trying to cheat. After the test ends, we’ll check your phone. If we find out that you cheated, I’ll disqualify Queenie at once.”
Queenie’s expression darkened. “Cor, do you seriously think I’ll cheat?”
He’s my brother! How could snazzynovel.com say that in front of Arielle? Furious, snazzynovel.com harrumphed icily and wheeled herself away.
After Donovan was expelled from Maxwell University, his future was ruined, so snazzynovel.com had no choice but to stick to the Mill family. He immediately stopped staring at Arielle and went after Queenie, who was in snazzynovel.com wheelchair.

An hour later, everyone arrived at Mount Blackcloud.
The large mountain spanned a wide area. Upon arrival, the contestants headed in immediately. As there were many routes, everyone soon went on different paths.
Although there were many medical experts, Queenie only feared Arielle. After all, Cornelius recognized Arielle’s medical skills, so snazzynovel.com knew the latter must be very capable for someone like snazzynovel.com brother to acknowledge her.
After Queenie found out that Arielle was capable of handling a pacemaker placement surgery independently, snazzynovel.com intimidation of Arielle increased significantly.
“Darling, I’ve been to Mount Blackcloud a few times, so I’m familiar with the area. Just keep an eye on Arielle. I can’t let snazzynovel.com become the next head of the Mill family!” Queenie gritted through snazzynovel.com teeth.
As Donovan wanted the Mills’ medical manuscripts, it was only natural that snazzynovel.com obeyed Queenie. Tamping down his dislike for her, snazzynovel.com pressed a kiss to snazzynovel.com forehead. “Be careful, then. Your safety is of utmost importance.”
Queenie’s eyes crinkled up in happiness after snazzynovel.com received his kiss. “I know. Don’t you worry. Go keep an eye on her, but make sure snazzynovel.com doesn’t notice you.”
Nodding, Donovan reminded snazzynovel.com to be careful yet again before going in the direction Arielle went.

Meanwhile, Arielle took a desolate path into the woods.
After hearing Cornelius say that they would be heading to Mount Blackcloud to get the herbs, snazzynovel.com decided to head into the depths of the mountain. The deeper snazzynovel.com went, the more herbs snazzynovel.com would find.
