Arielle turned her attention to Cornelius when she noticed an expression change on his face.
Cornelius continued saying with mixed reactions, “When Queenie got discharged from the hospital, she begged my Dad to allow her to run for the patriarch position, and… My dad agreed.”
Cornelius knew Arielle was on bad terms with Queenie, as he had often heard how Queenie had cursed Arielle in the past. The fact that Queenie wanted to contest for the family’s patriarch position meant that these two women would be competing against each other.
Arielle was not triggered by the news. She responded calmly, “Got it. Thanks for telling me.”
Cornelius looked at her and tried to defuse the tension. “Queenie’s temper had improved ever since she came back from the hospital. I don’t think she’ll give you a hard time tomorrow, but if she did, tell me. My dad and I will not turn a blind eye to it just because she’s a family. We’ll treat every contender equally, so don’t worry.”
