Chapter 187 Being Made Use Of
The weather was perfect the next day as the sun shone dimly and enveloped people with its rays.
Queenie finally secured an appointment with Olivia after putting in all of her efforts.
There were rumors that Olivia’s personality had changed drastically after the deaths of her two children, but no one
knew what the change was.
They were both sitting in a café. Olivia never liked Queenie; she couldn’t understand why her nephew would fall in
love with someone like Queenie—a person who didn’t have even a single virtue.
“Make it quick,” an impatient Olivia said while lowering her head to check her watch.
In a seemingly fawning way, Queenie said, “Mrs. Schumacher, Wendy will be eighteen in two weeks’ time. Will you

Olivia frowned as she swept her gaze over Queenie. She didn’t expect Queenie to ask her out just for this reason.
Feeling displeased, she responded, “Of course. She’s my niece.”
Queenie seemed to sense Olivia’s dissatisfaction and quickly said, “The thing is that Colton has been hanging out
very often with my sister, Nicole…”
Looking hesitatingly, Queenie said no more.
Upon hearing what Queenie said, Olivia curved her lips and as if she had found it comical, she looked at Queenie.
“You’re not married to Colton yet. My nephew can be with whoever he wants to be with. Who are you to snitch
about him to me?”
“It’s not what you think. I wouldn’t say anything if my sister is chaste. After all, I can’t possibly break them up if
they’re in love with each other,” Queenie quickly explained moments after she understood Olivia’s sarcasm.
She’s not chaste? Olivia immediately caught what Queenie was trying to say. With squinted eyes, she looked at
Queenie and asked, “What do you mean?”
Behaving as if she was in a difficult position, Queenie answered, “My sister sold herself to a man five years ago due
to her financial situation. She became pregnant out of wedlock that night and gave birth to a son…”
At this point, Olivia finally understood what Queenie meant. With a solemn expression on her face, she slapped her
palms on the table, causing a ruckus, and cried out, “Is that true?!”
After her children’s death, the Schumacher Family had brought home an illegitimate child under the guise that they
needed a successor. That made her abhor those children who appeared out of nowhere.
Queenie nodded and sighed. “Although I’m Colton’s fiancée, I couldn’t say anything on this matter. After all, my
words don’t carry much weight.”
Olivia lowered her head and looked at Queenie. Of course, she was aware of Queenie’s motive for this meeting, but
if Nicole was here to meddle with the Gardners’ ties, she would definitely stand in her way.
After calming down, she swept a gaze on Queenie and responded, “I’ll investigate further on this. If this is true, I’ll
expel those who shouldn’t be in the Gardner Family. You don’t need to take it upon yourself.”
She turned and left immediately after finishing her words.
Seeing Olivia leave, Queenie heaved a sigh of relief. This woman was not someone to meddle with, she thought.

happened thereafter.
Meanwhile, Olivia gave Edith, who was in Gardner Residence, a call right after she exited the café.
Facing Olivia’s questions, Edith answered everything with honesty.
Upon hearing what was said, Olivia squinted her eyes while seemingly in deep thought. Nicole’s promiscuous
incident five years ago had spread all over Lumore; it was impossible that that child was Colton’s, but Colton still
brought her home for dinner.
And the funniest thing was that her sister-in-law had brought that child back herself, claiming that he was Colton’s
child. How absurd could it be?
She would never allow something like this to happen. The blood ties of the Gardners must be pure, with no trace of
filth!
Olivia knew that Queenie was planning to make use of her by telling her all of these, but if it involved the blood ties
of the Gardner Family, she didn’t mind being used!
“Okay. I understood what you’ve said. Tell the others that I’ll be home tonight.”
