“Queenie’s fine. She told me to tell you guys not to worry about her,” Bonnie said. She wanted the
police to leave as soon as possible.
Brandon sighed in relief. He apologized to the police and saw them out while Maggie pulled Bonnie
over to continue asking more questions. “Where’s Queenie staying now? Who was she with?”
Bonnie chuckled darkly to herself. Trying to stay with Nigel, huh, Queenie? I won’t let you. I’ll make
Mom and Dad get you to come back. She thought this would give her more chances to meet Nigel as
well.
She was fully confident that she would be able to snatch Nigel away just as easily as Leslie. I’m so
much better than that dull Queenie, after all.
“Dad, Queenie… Queenie’s staying with a man. I don’t think it’s a good arrangement, so why don’t you

“What?! Queenie’s staying with a man?” Maggie’s expression was grim. How could a daughter of mine
be so promiscuous?
Brandon’s expression had darkened as well. He looked deeply disappointed. “How could she be so
irresponsible? How’s she going to get married in the future?”
“I’ll go and bring her home. Which hotel is she at?”
“I’ll come with you, Mom.” Bonnie didn’t want to miss out on any opportunity to run into Nigel.
The driver took Maggie and Bonnie to the Manson Group’s main hotel. Soon, the car pulled into the
driveway at the main entrance, and two greeters came forward. Maggie stepped out of the vehicle, and
Queenie, who was one of the two, stopped dead in her tracks.
“Mom?”
Maggie looked up and saw her daughter dressed in the hotel’s uniform standing in front of her. She
was stunned as well. “Queenie, why are you-
“I’m working here, Mom. Why are you. here?” Queenie was calm and unruffled.
Bonnie stepped out of the car on the other side and studied Queenie’s uniform as she thought to
herself, Is Queenie working here at the hotel? She’s really doing whatever it takes to get to Nigel! How
can she be so happy about working as a greeter?
“Queenie, your father was a little harsh before this, but he’s not angry anymore. Come home with me.”
As soon as Maggie finished talking, she tried to pull Queenie into the car with her.
However, Queenie was determined as well. “I’m not going back, Mom. I’m working right now. You guys
should leave!”
“Queenie, Mom came in person to bring you home. Shouldn’t you show her a little more respect?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBonnie fanned the flames from the sidelines. “You’re the eldest daughter of the Silversteins, but here
you are, working as a greeter. The whole family would be humiliated if words got out about this!”
Bonnie’s words of contempt made Queenie’s expression darken once she heard that. “Don’t be
ridiculous, Bonnie. Everyone deserves respect for working to support themselves. People like you who
rely on their parents’ money don’t have any right to look down on others.”
The other greeters standing nearby had been furious when they heard what Bonnie said, so when they
heard Queenie’s response, they rejoiced and agreed wholeheartedly in secret.
Bonnie flushed red and glared at Queenie. Meanwhile, seeing Queenie’s resolution to continue her job,
Maggie had no choice but to respect her decision.
“Fine, but you have to come home after work. I won’t stop you from working, but you must move back
home.” Maggie didn’t want to lecture Queenie in public.
