Chapter 1279 Pretentious

The next morning, the help who was tasked to guard the assassin went in to tend to his wounds.

To his shock, the assassin was gone. He immediately ran to Salvador and reported the matter to him.

Salvador promptly reported the matter to Cornelius and Abraham.

At once, Cornelius rushed to the room the assassin was previously held in. After strolling around, he realized someone had saved the assassin. Without further delay, he relayed the piece of information to Abraham.

“Find out who saved him!” Abraham instructed as he slammed his palm on the table furiously.

The contestants who were all gathered in the hall heard Abraham’s roar. Curious, they asked what happened, and Abraham proceeded to reveal how someone tried to kill Arielle.

As he spoke, he scanned the crowd surreptitiously to replace out if anyone showed a guilty expression.

However, everyone seemed surprised to hear his words, and no one seemed to feel guilty. Is the culprit not among them?

“Mr. Mill, are there no surveillance cameras installed in that room?” Frustration crept up Arielle’s heart when she heard that the assassin had escaped. I should’ve sent him to Vinson last night! He tried to kill me, but I was careless enough to leave him in Silverbirch Hospital!

Cornelius shook his head. “The surveillance cameras went out of order a few days ago, and we wanted to install new ones. However, I got busy with the selection and forgot all about it.” He felt extremely apologetic as his carelessness allowed the assassin to escape from Silverbirch Hospital. He had assumed no one would be able to sneak out easily, but the truth proved otherwise.

The assassin was seriously injured, so there must have been a mole who saved him. I wonder who hired him to kill Arielle.

As the surveillance cameras were out of order, Arielle had to let the matter slip.

If the surveillance footage was gone, she could figure out a way to restore the content. However, they were already out of order for two days, so she couldn’t do anything about it.

She had no choice but to swallow her indignation.

However, she vowed to be more vigilant next time and come up with more comprehensive solutions.

“Ms. Moore, it is our fault for not guarding him well,” Abraham said apologetically.

Arielle shook her head. “It’s fine. Forget it. Even though he has escaped, he must’ve left clues behind. Find out how he entered Mount Blackcloud. He wouldn’t have found me without someone else’s help.”

There was nothing else she could do at that moment. The Mills will have to investigate the matter slowly. Hopefully, they are competent enough of replaceing an answer.

“Of course,” Abraham gave his word. “Don’t worry, Ms. Moore.”

Queenie felt upset to see Cornelius and Abraham apologizing to Arielle. Who does Arielle think she is? Why did Dad and Cor apologize to her?

“Pretentious b*tch. The assassin didn’t even hurt her, so it doesn’t matter that he has escaped. There’s no need to waste time to investigate the matter,” she commented harshly.

“Shut up.” Donovan threw her a glare, for he couldn’t wait for the matter to blow over. She’d better stop stirring the pot.

Afraid that he would get mad at her, Queenie tamped down her displeasure and said nothing.

It was nine in the morning, so the second test was about to begin. Two contestants would have to partner up to treat patients suffering from rare diseases using ancient Chanaean medicine. They would be drawing lots to decide the pairings.
