Chapter 1515
“I know that Leslie and Bonnie wronged you, but Queenie, promise me that you won’t take out your
anger on Bonnie again, okay? Both of you are my daughters. I’ll be heartbroken and torn if either of you
is unhappy.”
Queenie understood Maggie’s anguish, but she could not expect Maggie to understand her misery. It
was even more challenging for her to tell Maggie about all the nasty things Bonnie had done to her.
She could not whine about them. All she could do was keep them to herself.
Only by restraining herself would her family have a modicum of peace.
“Okay, I’ll try not to needle her,” Queenie promised. Her parents had had a hard time today after
handling the whole lot of angered Paynes, so she did not want to upset them further.
“Where is Bonnie? Why hasn’t she returned yet?” Brandon asked worriedly. “She can be quite
stubborn. What if something bad happens to her?!”
A horrified and worried Brandon made another call to Bonnie. Bonnie obviously answered the call
because Brandon quickly asked, “Bonnie! Where are you? Hurry up and come home. Queenie is
already home.”
“Dad, I’m sad. I don’t want to go home yet.”
“No, you must come home now! It’s already ten. Send me your current location. I’ll go over and fetch
you,” Brandon demanded.
“Alright, but I’ll go home by myself. You don’t have to come and fetch me,” Bonnie said on the other
end of the line.
“I’ll ask the driver to fetch you.”
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll take a cab back.” After that, Bonnie hung up.
Queenie disapproved of Bonnie’s behavior as she looked at her parents’ apparent anxiety over their
wayward daughter. The twins had a 10.00PM curfew, and she had never caused her parents such
worry by returning home on the dot.
