Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 91 Please Listen to Me

Joseph couldn’t risk offending F&M Apparel, so he could only grip the report and leave.

As she watched Joseph leaving, Queenie forced a smile and took two steps forward. However, as she was about to speak up, Colton interrupted her.

“You may leave.”

The smile on Queenie’s face stiffened. Gritting her teeth, she stared at Colton with an aggrieved look. She thought he was still bothered with the incident last time, so she explained, “Colton, regarding the incident last time, it’s really someone else who drugged—”

Nevertheless, he did not give her a chance to explain. As he frowned, he repeated in a hostile manner, “Leave.”

Noticing the tension between the two was growing, Nicole had no intention of meddling with their affair, so she carried Hayden and said to Colton, “President Gardner, I’ll head out first and wait for you at the entrance.”

After Nicole left, Queenie mumbled pitifully, “Colton, please listen to me.”

Colton seemed to have intentionally avoided Queenie since the previous incident with Joseph as he wouldn’t allow her to enter his office or home. Since it was a rare occasion to be alone with Colton, she was determined to seize this opportunity to give him a proper explanation.

Hearing Queenie’s words, Colton shifted his gaze downward and couldn’t help furrowing his brow when he saw the pitiful look on her face.

“You should be well aware of what you have done,” he croaked in a deep voice.

Her heart jolted, but her pitiful expression remained unchanged. She pinched her hand and anxiously wanted to explain the situation to Colton. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Colton, please believe me. It’s impossible between Joseph and me. It’s all Nicole’s fault. She was there too that night. She must be jealous of me, so…” Queenie prattled on as she was eager to restore her image in front of Colton. However, little did she know that the more she went on, the more he detested her.

Nicole was also drugged that night, but she had mentioned nothing about the culprit. In contrast, Queenie was dying to involve herself in the matter to prove her innocence.

“That’s enough!!” Colton’s voice became stern and laced with dissatisfaction.

Straightening his body, he gazed at Queenie with dark, unemotional eyes that were as cold as the lake in winter.

“If you still wish to maintain your identity as Mrs. Gardner-to-be, stop causing any more trouble. This is my last warning to you. If this happens again, you shall get lost!”

The words that Queenie initially wanted to continue saying were stuck in her throat at once. Tears swam in her eyes as the disbelief spread across her face. So, he doesn’t believe me?

Although she parted her mouth, she realized she couldn’t say a word as if her throat had been stuffed with something.

Looking at the woman who was about to cry, Colton did not even have the slightest bit of sympathy for her. Instead, he turned and walked off with a frigid face.

Queenie’s eyes were fixated on Colton as she watched him leave. Suddenly, her body felt weak and she slumped onto the floor as coldness filled her body. How can this be?! How can this be?! All of this

happened because of Nicole! My life has always been peaceful before Nicole came back. However, since she returned, my life started changing and it became a mess. And now, even Colton doesn’t believe me anymore. B*tch! You b*itch!

She was so furious that her eyes turned bloodshot. As she tightly clenched her fists, she could feel the pain since her long nails had dug into her palms.

Nicole and Colton being together was something that she would never allow. If she lost both Colton and the Gardner Family, the Anderson Family would be doomed!

After wiping the tears away from the corner of her red-rimmed eyes, Queenie spat through gritted teeth, “Nicole Anderson, we’ll wait and see who the winner is in the end!”

She refused to believe that Nicole could turn the corner each time.
