Chapter 1374 Possessive Desire
Queenie appeared to have dressed up specifically for tonight’s event. Could she possibly have known
that her father would attend the banquet with Bonnie? That had to be the case and Queenie was here
to embarrass her intentionally. How evil of her!
Meanwhile, Lina took advantage of the chance to approach Nigel and greeted him, “Hi, Nigel, it’s nice
to see you again.”
Nigel responded with a slight nod before turning his head to search for Queenie. At that moment, two
young men stood next to her, and they were Brandon’s friends’ sons. While they were going around
greeting the various guests, they happened to notice Queenie. They didn’t miss the opportunity to chat
with her, and she couldn’t be impolite to them because her father was friends with their parents.
Nigel happened to catch sight of that scene and an instantaneous surge of possessive desire swept
through his chest. Contrarily, Lina attempted to buy him a drink by calling the waiter and preparing to
pass him a glass of wine.

“Nigel, let’s have a—” She looked down at her red wine glass in shame as she watched him leave
without saying anything. A flame of resentment flared in her eyes as she caught sight of the girl whom
he was approaching. It turned out that the girl he was walking toward was Queenie, and the moment he
was close enough to her, the first thing he did was give her a warm embrace around the waist.
“Your friends, Queenie?” Nigel inquired naturally.
Queenie was slightly embarrassed by his affectionate embrace. Then, she introduced him to the two
men but barely knew their last names.
“My girlfriend and I have to greet a few elders now. Please excuse us.” Nigel excused himself from the
two young men and walked away with her in his arms.
“My dad is over there. Do you want to say hello?” she asked him.
He already knew Brandon was here, so he nodded. “Of course.”
Brandon was conversing with his friends when he suddenly noticed Nigel and beamed with excitement.
“You’re here, Nigel,” he exclaimed.
Nigel greeted, “Hello, Mr. Silverstein.”
Since Nigel had rarely socialized with Brandon’s group of friends, many of them were unfamiliar with
him. In addition, he maintained a low profile, and no one appeared to have heard of him.
“Who is this young boy, Brandon?”
“He’s my daughter’s boyfriend.”
“What a good-looking boy. Which family is he from?” One of them was curious when he noticed the
plutocratic aura Nigel exuded.
Brandon replied boastfully, “This hotel belongs to Nigel’s family.”
The hotel was managed by the Manson Group, so could the young man before them be the next in line
to succeed as the group’s heir apparent?
“What a lucky man you are, Brandon! I can’t believe your daughter is seeing such an outstanding man.
That makes me envious!”
Soon, Brandon’s group of friends started expressing their envy for him. After having such a beautiful
daughter, he was able to attract a wealthy son-in-law! What a blessing!

Brandon let out a hearty laugh, and Queenie could feel her father’s happiness as she sneakily glanced
at Nigel. She was thrilled that he could make her father proud.
“Please continue with your conversation and have fun. We’ll be heading off to greet other guests,” Nigel
said. “We’ll be back in a bit, Mr. Silverstein.”
“Go on!” Brandon nodded.
Bonnie, who stood nearby, almost crushed the wineglass that she was holding. She was no longer in
the mood to head out tonight in search of a wealthy, eligible bachelor because Queenie had ruined her
mood entirely.
Meanwhile, Lina rejoined her group of friends. They had all witnessed her futile attempt to initiate a
conversation with Nigel, so they began muttering.
“What’s so good about Queenie? She’s not as beautiful as Lina.”
“Exactly! You can tell she’s an escort by looking at her sister.”
“Bonnie is still useful to me. Don’t say that in front of her,” Lina warned her friends. She could tell at a
glance that Bonnie had a significant setback. Although they shared a family tree, it was clear that she
was more like a leaf than her sister, Queenie, who was more like a flower in full bloom.
Therefore, it was understandable that Bonnie was upset.
