Chapter 1496
As soon as she finished speaking, Maggie and Brandon were thrilled, while the members of the Payne Family were dismayed.
Bonnie was so enraged that her face twisted into a hateful scowl, and she turned to glare at Queenie. Why was Queenie so eager
to pair her and Leslie up?
“We’re here to call off your engagement with Leslie. It’s not my engagement party,” Bonnie rebuked directly and looked a little

“Bonnie, you and Leslie love each other. Since we are all here tonight, let’s discuss your engagement with Leslie right away!”
Brandon said to Bonnie. After all, Leslie and Bonnie had done the deed, so he hoped Leslie would be responsible and marry

your concern. Unfortunately, Leslie and I are not destined to be together, but I already have someone I like, so I’m also very eager
to call off the engagement.”
The members of the Payne Family were stupefied. As far as they knew, Queenie once barged into the hotel room to catch Leslie
cheating on her red–handed. The incident was blown up so terribly that it even tarnished Leslie’s reputation a little. So, they
assumed Queenie would pester Leslie and insist on marrying him.
However, they were caught off guard by Queenie’s remarks and were dumbfounded for a few seconds. Keira even stammered
awkwardly, “O–Oh! I–Is that so? You like someone else!“
