Chapter 148 The Miserable Alina_____


    Alina''s POV:


    The magnificent pce was as cold as ice, and I felt it was freezing me to the bones. Iy on the


    bed and turned over in pain. A thickyer of gauze was wrapped around my neck. Rufus had


    strangled me so hard that my windpipe and gullet were both injured. So now, I could only eat some


    liquid food.


    Queen Laura had sent her servants to call me many times, but I lied that I had a headache. I


    couldn''t show myself to her. If she saw the bruises on my neck, she would definitely know that I was


    the one who danced with Rufus at the ball.


    Although I knew that she was on my side, I wouldn''t dare to gamble. It would be so embarrassing if


    she knew.


    I didn''t want Queen Laura to think that I was an idiot. I was afraid that she would throw me away.


    Besides, she just stood aside that day and didn''t even defend or save me.


    Thinking of this made me angry.


    I heard the heavy door being pushed open, and Coco came in with the food cart.


    I propped against the headboard. "What is today''s food?"


    "Pumpkin porridge." After saying this, Coco lowered her head, carefully took the porridge out, and


    put it in front of me.


    "What? Pumpkin porridge again?" I took the spoon from Coco''s hand and stirred the porridge in the


    bowl vigorously. "How many times have I eaten this thing?"


    I was lying in the pce every day now, and I could not see anyone. My only hope was to eat


    something good. I didn''t expect Coco to send me this cheap pumpkin porridge every day.


    "But the doctor said that you can only have porridge for now."


    "I know! But can''t you change it into another kind of porridge? Red bean porridge is also fine!" I was


    so angry that I couldn''t help rolling my eyes. Coco was such an idiot!


    Coco agreed in a low voice. Then she leaned over to me with a cunning smile and whispered, "I


    heard that Cherry was expelled from the school for stealing. The guards had already thrown all her


    luggage away."


    "Is that true?" I put down the spoon, pleasantly surprised. Such news had really lightened up my


    mood. "Tell me the details. What happened?"


    "Yes, it''s true. Our spy saw it. Cherry was miserable. Prince Rufus'' men directly threw her out of the


    academy, and she could no longer step into the capital again. She was screaming outside the gate


    that she wanted to see Prince Richard. But Prince Richard didn''t show up at all. She was


    embarrassing herself, right?"


    I snorted coldly and felt that Coco was no longer annoying. "Fortunately, you have prepared a


    dashcam in every dead angle of the academy in advance. From now on, you should do things more


    cautiously, and this matter will be over soon."


    "I know. But it''s all because you are so thoughtful, Miss Quinn. Cherry thought she would be fine if


    she dodged the surveince cameras, but she didn''t know that she had already fallen into our trap."


    Coco''s eyes narrowed as she smiledcently. "And she even stole the bracelet. For me, a


    she-wolf like her is only qualified to serve you as a ve. She is far inferior to you."

    I just snorted coldly and said nothing.


    Although I used Cherry as my scapegoat, I was still a loser. I lost to Sylvia. I lost to her miserably.


    The failure at the ball made me angry, but I had nowhere to vent my anger. I could only swallow it


    hard. And I didn''t expect Rufus to be so terrifying. I thought he would at least restrain himself in


    public. But he didn''t even take King Ethan seriously.


    Such an unfathomable and ruthless man doted on Sylvia so much. How lucky she was! As long as I


    experienced the feeling of being cherished by such a terrible man, I would never be able to escape.


    I would keep thinking about him all the time, and I would do everything to be the only light in his


    eyes. It was as if I was addicted to him. This feeling made me even more unable to give up on


    Rufus.


    But fortunately, I wasn''t exposed this time. After the wound on my neck healed, I must find an


    opportunity to drug him again.


    At this moment, Coco handed the phone to me. "Miss Quinn, look! Thements about Prince


    Rufus on the Inte have all changed."


    "What?" I took the phone from her and checked it curiously.
