A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 1276

A Presumptuous Request

They wouldn’t be meeting each other for three days. If he found out what happened to her, he would
definitely rush here to take her away.

What was worse, he would forbid her from becoming the head of the Mill family and getting the medical
manuscripts.

They chatted for almost one hour before cutting the line.

Right after she hung up, Sasha came to inform her that the head of the Mill family wanted to see her.

Arielle knew that they wanted to question the assassin.

“Ms. Moore, we shall start an investigation at once and give you an explanation,” Abraham, the head of
the Mill family, promised solemnly.

He was shocked to find out from Cornelius that someone had tried to kill Arielle back in Mount
Blackcloud.

After all, Mount Blackcloud was the Mills’ territory, and it was their decision to send the contestants
there to gather herbs.

The matter would not have been so serious if the contestants were harmed by beasts or got injured
due to other natural factors. However, things were different when a contestant was almost
assassinated by someone.

After all, not everyone could enter Mount Blackcloud. Without a map, those who did so wouldn’t be able
to leave the place alive.



“You’ll just have to find how he got into Mount Blackcloud. As for the investigation, forget it. After the
selection ends, I’ll ask Vinson to question him. For now, keep him locked up so that he won’t be able to
escape,” Arielle told Cornelius and Abraham.

Arielle knew Vinson was capable enough to get the information she wanted from the assassin.

“Let’s do that, then. We’ll find out how he got into Mount Blackcloud,” Abraham replied

Arielle nodded. The matter had come to an end, so she decided to get some rest to prepare for the
next day. She had just taken a few steps when something occurred to her. Turning at her shoulder, she
said, “Mr. Mill, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you’ll say yes.”

“What is it?”

“I’d like to buy all the herbs I picked today. Don’t worry. I’ll pay the highest price in the market for them,”
Arielle stated, for she was afraid Abraham would say no.

Oh, I thought it was something serious. This is fine by me. Abraham immediately agreed, “You don’t
have to buy the herbs. I’ll give them to you as a form of compensation after what you went through
today.”

“Dad, why would you give her the herbs? She didn’t get hurt at all!” Queenie huffed.

She happened to come downstairs and saw Cornelius sorting out the herbs Arielle brought back.
Those herbs were of top quality, so they could gain a lot of money by selling them.

Arielle threw her a calm look before turning to Abraham. “Thank you, Mr. Mill. But it’s best for me to buy
the herbs.”

With that, she spun on her heels and left. Breathless with anger, Queenie demanded, “Dad, what did
she mean?”





Abraham glanced at his beloved daughter whom he had spoilt since birth and sighed. “What else? She
doesn’t want to owe the Mills a favor.”

“If she doesn’t want to owe us a favor, she shouldn’t buy the herbs,” Queenie scorned.

The herbs are rarely seen in the market!

“You should be exhausted. Go rest in your room,” Abraham told her.

If the conversation goes on any longer, I might pass out due to frustration.

Queenie snorted and wheeled herself away.

“Dad, is there no other way to treat Queenie’s condition?”

Cornelius’ heart ached as he watched Queenie leaving in her wheelchair. My sister should be leading a
happy and blissful life, but alas, she encountered an accident.
