Chapter 30

Immediately I heard those words come out of her mouth, I couldn't help but sneer. Looking around to check for the others' reaction, I noticed that they were considering what Queen had said.

"Despite the fact that you've been caught, you still dare to deny it." I said as I looked at Queen with a smile.

Queen laughed, "you are really funny Ryan, even if you want to frame me, you should have done a better job than this. You know, since you've gotten to this mansion, I either avoid you to not cause trouble or treat you well when we have something to do together so, I understand why you might want to frame, maybe because you feeling jealous of the fact that Aiden likes me. Trying to frame however, is not a good move Ryan."

Queen paused, she shook her head as if disappointed in me, then she said, "I'm disappointed in you Ryan. To think that I expected more from you. When you first came here, I thought you were better than this, maybe it's just an act then but I'm disappointed in you." She said as she made a disappointing expression appear on her face.

"Ryan, I understand that what has been happening to your kids recently has been taking a toll on you, but trying to frame Queen because of that frustration is something I wasn't expecting from you." Aiden said as he shook in disappointment.

Immediately I heard these words come from him, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You are really funny, Aiden. You've always sided with Queen, maybe I shouldn't even be surprised." I said as I looked at Aiden. I paused for a moment to leg my word sink then I continued.

"You dare to be disappointed in me when even Damien knows what Queen has been doing since he came to this mansion. I won't say much, it's not like it matters anyway but I will ask you this today. Between Queen and me, who will you pick." I decided to throw this question at him since it had gotten to this point.

The room became silent as the tension in the atmosphere intensified immensely. Everyone there was starting to feel the pressure but I didn't mind as I continued to stare at Aiden while monitoring Queen.

I notice that after I asked Queen that question, she looked at him with an uncertain expression on her face. It was brief but I caught it. 'It seems like something has been going on.' I thought to myself as I watched on.

Deciding to add one more thing, "just so you know Aiden, anyone you choose will be staying in your mansion and the other one will go."

As the words left my mouth and pierced their ears while their brain processes the information, Aiden looked somewhat shocked as if he wasn't expecting me to corner him like this but I knew what I was doing.

Since I didn't have my answer before, I will have it now.

Aiden looked uncomfortable as he stood there as if in a daze.

He stood there with a thoughtful expression on his face, what he was considering at that moment was unknown to everyone as he stayed silent for sometime before he spoke.

Sighing loudly, he stated "must we do this now, I thought finding the person who poisoned your kids is the most important thing to do at this moment."

Raising my eyebrow, I said "don't try to dodge this question by diverting to that. Of course it is important but this is also important as it's my life. What would everything be for if I stayed here and just kept putting myself in danger when you will remain uncertain about who you want to choose. I'm sorry but I can't do that, it is either you answer this question now or I take your silence as a sign that you want me to leave."

This perplexed Aiden as he felt cornered. Noticing this I couldn't help but be proud of myself for being able to corner him like this.

As if choosing was really hard for him, he decided not to choose, reason I don't know but one thing is for sure, he couldn't.

Seeing this, I sighed to myself then I shook my head in disappointment. "You know if you are going to remain uncertain about your decision then you should have said so, from the get go. I really appreciate you for all the help you've given me since I've been here but it's time for me to leave now." I stated as I gave a signal for Yena to help pack my things with her own.

I sighed once again, "back to what we were discussing earlier. Queen you've been caught already, stop trying to deny it." I said as I opened my phone to look for the file Yena had sent me and opened the video.

I took a laptop that was in the room, connected my phone to the laptop and played the video on it.

As everyone watched, different emotions could be seen on their faces as they beheld the scene before them.

Inside the video, Queen could be seen sneaking inside the room after the kids left. Inside Yena's bag was a chocolate biscuit.

Queen walked towards the bag, took the big biscuits and it was obvious that the kids had eaten out of it before but it still remained.

Queen carefully took the biscuit, opening up and pouring the poison content in the biscuit whole also tilting her head from side to side to see if anyone was coming.

Having done what she went there to do, she placed the biscuit the way it was, then she left the room with a slight smile on her face.

By this time, Queen was visibly shaking as she hadn't expected a camera to be there.

Aiden shook his head as he looked at her. He didn't show any expression on his face, but it was obvious what he was feeling at that moment.

Damien gave me a thump up as he was white surprised by the video I showed them.

While they were still thinking about what they had seen, Yena came back.

"All your belongings have been packed, we can go now." I nodded but I couldn't help but sigh to myself at this turn of events.

'Who would have known I would be leaving right after the poisoning incident.' I thought to myself as I sighed once again.

Removing my phone from the laptop, I made my way out of the room.
