“Yes, I have someone I like. I’m eager to give way to Bonnie so we can marry the right person! See,
she and Leslie were so in love that they couldn’t keep their hands off each other before I called off the
engagement with Leslie! I didn’t want to be in their way, so I quickly broke off the engagement!”
Queenie chuckled.
Maggie, who sat beside Queenie, tugged at Queenie’s sleeve under the table, urging her to stop
talking. After all, this matter did tarnish their family’s reputation.
Bonnie’s face turned a little red in embarrassment. Was Queenie implying that she was shameless?
Leslie also felt discomfited by Queenie’s seemingly accidental social blunder.
Was Queenie trying to ridicule him in front of his family?
“Queenie, I’m sorry I cheated on you, but I love Bonnie. I can’t let Bonnie down, even though you like
me.”
“Oh, please, you think too highly of yourself. I’ve never liked you. Also, the man I like is much better
than you,” Queenie sniffed proudly.
After hearing her remarks, the members of the Payne Family were disgruntled. Did Queenie mean to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsay that Leslie was unworthy? This meant that she somehow looked down on their family!
“Is that so? You’re so lucky. Queenie. It’s unfortunate that Leslie doesn’t like you,” Keira said in a
passive-aggressive manner..
“Oh, I should thank Leslie for allowing me to find someone better. I wouldn’t have had the chance to
take a fancy to someone else if Leslie hadn’t hooked up with Bonnie while we were engaged!” Queenie
smiled.
Feast your eyes on the trash that is your son! He cheated on me with my sister while we were still
engaged. How shameful! Queenie thought. At this point, the members of the Payne Family looked
outraged. Keira didn’t want to say another word while Leslie’s grandfather covered up his
embarrassment by drinking water.
“Shush, Queenie. Stop talking. Brandon muttered discretely. Even though he did feel that Queenie was
running her mouth today, he also felt rather proud that she was being particularly eloquent.
On the other hand. Bonnie’s paranoia was running high as she started theorizing about Queenie’s
actions, Queenie said she likes someone else. Is it Nigel? Are they really dating?
“Queenie, how can you say that? You can’t force someone to like you. Although I heard you also like
Leslie, he will be your brother-in-law. As Bonnie’s sister, you should be more gracious and open-
minded. You should give them your blessing!” one of Leslie’s aunts rebuked furiously after Queenie
ridiculed Leslie in front of them.
She was definitely mocking Queenie for being petty.
At this moment, Queenie’s phone rang. As she laid her eyes on the caller ID on the screen, she smiled
and said, ‘Excuse me, my boyfriend is here. I’ll fetch him over and make sure to introduce him to all of
you later.”
Bonnie, who was drinking water, jerked her head up abruptly and looked toward the door. What the
hell? Was Nigel really here?
Leslie’s expression also changed. Who did Queenie ask to come? Boyfriend? Hah! He didn’t believe
that Queenie had a boyfriend within a few days.
She must have asked one of her male friends to pretend to be her boyfriend to save face.
Queenie pushed the door open. As soon as she came out, she saw Nigel standing in the corridor in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhite shirt and black trousers. He looked like an elite businessman who had just gotten out of a
meeting.
At this moment, Queenie was so touched that her eyes turned slightly red-rimmed. She was all too
grateful that he came to back her up and give her a helping hand.
“Mr. Nigel, you’re here!” Queenie smiled as she looked at him. Nigel couldn’t help but frown when he
saw her red eyes. “What’s wrong? Did someone upset you?”
Queenie shook her head. “No. These are tears of joy. I’m so glad you came! I was so worried that you
wouldn’t show up!”
“I gave you my word, so I will definitely attend!” Nigel narrowed his eyes with a determined expression.
“Alright, let’s go in. Later, I’ll call you Nigel, and you’ll call me Queenie,” Queenie whispered.
At the dining table, Bonnie was so anxious that she could feel her heart hammering against her chest
rapidly. Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door. Was it really Nigel?
Was Queenie so capable that she could win Nigel’s heart in just a few days? Bonnie secretly balled her
hands into fists under the table.
In the meantime, Leslie knew Queenie’s unyielding personality very well. He was curious to see which
friend she had invited to play her fake boyfriend in order to regain her dignity after being dumped by
him.
