Chapter 1497
“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
say 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.”
