Leslie turned to look at Bonnie in bewilderment. He couldn’t believe his ears when Bonnie denied the
fact that they were dating.
The members of the Payne Family were disgruntled. It turned out that Queenie dumped Leslie because
she had found a better man, yet she had the cheek to sit on her high horse and speak in a high and
mighty manner. She even tricked Leslie into dating Bonnie, her arrogant and rude sister!
She was so vicious and cunning.
However, Ashton, Leslie’s father, was at businessman through and through. So, when he heard about
Nigel’s identity, he instinctively wanted to leave a good impression. If he managed such a feat, he
would have won a valuable connection. which would be a great advantage if there was an opportunity
for collaboration in the future.
“Hello, Mr. Manson. My name is Ashton Payne. I run an equipment and. machinery business. Here, a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoast to you.” Ashton immediately got up and raised his glass.
Nigel glanced around the table.. Unfortunately, he didn’t have his own glass. Hence, when he saw
Queenie’s glass, he swiftly took it, stood up, raised it to Ashton, and took two sips.
Queenie’s heart skipped a beat at his actions! She had drunk the wine prior to his attendance! Could
this be considered an indirect kiss?
Brandon hurriedly urged the waiter to bring a wine glass and filled it with wine before handing it to
Nigel.
Maggie was overjoyed at this moment. Both her daughters were dating, and she was even more
surprised that Queenie’s boyfriend was from an extremely wealthy family.
“Queenie, why didn’t you bring Nigel to our house before?” Maggie murmured as her tone held a slight
reproach. Although, to be fair, it was more than a little inappropriate to meet Nigel on such an occasion.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I’ll bring him back for dinner someday.” Queenie grinned.
Bonnie glared at Queenie with envy and hatred, but when she looked at Nigel, she immediately turned
gentle, shy, and timid. This was her usual tactic when she was with someone she admired. She would
pretend to be a mild-mannered damsel in distress who needed protection.
Leslie noticed that Bonnie’s favorite dish, grilled shrimp, was placed far away from her. So, he took the
initiative to place two shrimps on Bonnie’s plate. “Bonnie, here. Have some shrimps.”
Bonnie’s pretty face was painted with annoyance as she glared at the shrimp ont her plate with disgust.
“Don’t you know that I’m allergic to shrimp?!” With that, she swept the shrimp aside and refused to pay
attention to it.
Leslie was shocked. Only a few days ago, Bonnie specially requested the grilled shrimp and told him it
was delicious.
Queenie watched their interaction in gleeful satisfaction. She secretly rejoiced. when she saw Leslie
being disliked and hated by Bonnie in various ways. There was no doubt in her heart that she

“Bonnie, Leslie is being nice to you!” Keira couldn’t help but speak up for Leslie.
“I don’t need anyone to be nice to me!” Bonnie grumbled disrespectfully. The expressions of the
members of the Payne. Family darkened at her words. Even Brandon reprimanded her less-than-
stellar demeanor sternly, ‘Bonnie! Watch your words!”
Bonnie bit down on her lips and remained silent..
At this moment, Nigel brought a piece of shrimp to Queenie. ‘Do you like it?”
“Yes! I like it very much.” With that, Queenie didn’t hesitate to bite down on the shrimp and enjoyed the
shrimp with relish. “One more, please.”
Nigel took another piece of shrimp, but instead of placing it on her plate, he fed it to her. Queenie was
taken aback by his daring at first, but she quickly composed herself as she smiled, opened her mouth,
and bit it.
