    Chapter 1301-1310


    As for Bonnie, Brandon only wished for her to have a happy and fulfilling life. When it was time for her


    to get married, he would prepare a significant amount of dowry for her so that she wouldn’t have to


    worry about money for the rest of her life.


    However, Brandon was wrong, for Bonnie would not be satisfied with only a hefty dowry, wanting the


    entire Silverstein Family inheritance instead. Even if she couldn’t get it all, she had to have half of it.


    Originally, Nigel wanted to apany Queenie for dinner, but he had a meetinging up and had to


    return to thepany. Therefore, the two parted and went on with their own businesses. Having gone


    through this jealous and angry asion, the two now clearly understood their feelings and knew how


    much they loved each other.


    Nigel was driving toward hispany when his phone rang, and when he looked, he saw that it was


    Elliot, whom he had not contacted for quite a while.


    “Hey, Elliot.”


    “Aunt Brenda said you got a girlfriend. This isn’t a joke, right?” Elliot’s deep voice sounded from the


    phone.


    Because Nigel had lied to them with this excuse many times, of course, they wouldn’t believe him when


    he said he was seeing someone, which made him at a loss for what to say. “I’m not lying. I really do


    have a girlfriend. I’ll bring her to meet you guyster.”


    At that moment, the cries of a young child came from the other end, followed by an incoherent voice.


    “Daddy…”


    Nigel immediately felt his heart soften. “Hey! My little niece, your voice sounds so cute!”


    “She’s such a clingy child.” Elliot’s voice was filled with affection as he said that.


    “I’m so jealous! Elliot, I want a daughter that is as cute as Willy.” While thinking of thest time he


    visited his niece, Nigel couldn’t get the image of the chubby child with the smell of baby shampoo out of


    his mind. She was exceptionally cute, and he was so jealous that he was drooling.


    “So, you’d better quicken your pace! Give birth to a younger sibling to y with Willow.” After saying


    that, Elliot turned to his daughter and asked, “How about it, Willow?”


    Then there was more incoherent baby talk before Elliot’s voice could be heard again.” Alright then, let’s


    talk againter. I need to watch over my daughter.”


    “Elliot, don’t tell me you’re still working at home!” Nigel asked, feeling curious. Thest time he visited


    Elliot, he discovered that Elliot had basically moved his office back home, and the reason was simple.


    His cute and clingy niece couldn’t leave her daddy. She would bawl her eyes out whenever she saw


    Elliot leave.


    Therefore, Elliot had been settling his work matters at home to take care of his daughter.


    “Yes! For half a year, I won’t be going to thepany if there aren’t any important matters and will be


    working at home. Willow is too clingy.” When saying that, Elliot’s voice was full of adoration and pride.


    “Alright then! I’ll swing by to visit my two nephews someday and bring them out to y.”


    “Sure, and I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Elliot finished his words and hung up.


    Then, Nigel couldn’t help but start imagining what his and Queenie’s child would look like.


    Will my child look like me? As he thought of that, a smile appeared on his lips, which looked quite


    idiotic.


    At the Presgrave Residence, under the sunset, a young boy happily yed ser on the grass patch


    when a chubby figure shakily walked over from the hall. At one year and two months, the child had


    dense, short hair that reached her ears. A slight breeze blew, messing up her hair a little, adding even


    more cuteness to her chubby and round face.


    Her small limbs that resembled lotus roots and round face were obvious signs that she was a chubby


    kid, but her big ck eyes that looked like ck grapes and her small nose and lips made her look as


    pretty as a doll.


    “Jared…” The child was waving her small arms as she wobbly made her way toward her older brother,


    and behind her came a handsome andposed man in a casual shirt. His every move exuded a


    mighty temperament.


    The small and chubby child before him only reached his knees.


    “Daddy.” The child wanted to head over and y with her brother and turned around to hug one of her


    daddy’s legs, indicating that she wanted him to hug her.


    Elliot embraced his daughter and walked toward his son. The president of Presgrave Group had now


    be a responsible and professional stay-at-home dad. Ever since the birth of his daughter, he had


    been hands-on with everything, which left Anastasia with the sole task of feeding her. Also, after her


    pregnancy, Anastasia enjoyed working even more, so she let her husband take care of their daughter


    and began enjoying the happiness that working had brought her.


    After the birth of his children, Elliot’s days were summarized into two things: work and pampering his


    daughter.


    As for Jared, he also doted on his younger sister a lot. The father-son duo’s hobby had now be


    being at Willow’s beck and call.


    At that moment, a red sports car drove in from outside, and the woman who came down from it had


    dense, long hair that was messed up by the wind. She then tidied up her hair and revealed an


    exquisitely beautiful face. Her face, which used to have a little baby fat, had now be smooth and


    sharp, adding an elegant and attractive feel to her whole figure.


    The three on the grass patch looked over at the same time. Whenever Elliot saw his wife, he felt his


    heart pounding, like during their first meeting. Meanwhile, the young child in his embrace had already


    stuck out her hands in excitement, asking for a hug from her mommy.


    However, Jared was the first to run over and hug his mommy’s waist, and then he saw his daddy


    bringing his younger sister over. For Anastasia, the happiest thing aftering home from work was to


    have her family greet her.


    She first nted a kiss on her son’s cheek before walking over to pull her daughter into her embrace.


    She nted two kisses on her daughter’s small cheeks and felt Elliot’s arms snake around her waist,


    pulling her into his embrace. When Anastasia raised her head, the man’s thin lips chased after hers


    and nted a kiss on her lips. They had always restrained their affectionate actions when their children


    were around.


    “Sweetheart, wee home.” Elliot kissed her crown.


    Since Anastasia began working, she felt more rxedpared to her hard-working husband, who


    had to look after their children at home. While lowering her head, she smiled and asked Willow, “Willow,


    were you well-behaved today?”


    As if she could understand the question, the child scrunched her nose and pouted her small lips while


    acting coquettishly in her mommy’s embrace by rubbing her head against her mommy’s body.


    Elliot caressed his daughter’s head and noticed that Anastasia was wearing high heels. Although


    Willow was only one year and two months old, she wasn’t particrly light. She was already over


    twenty-eight pounds and was a genuinely chubby baby. It was mainly because Willow could greatly


    absorb the nutrients from her nutritious diet, plus that Anastasia kept her daughter on breast milk until


    she turned one year old.


    As the sunset’s rays shone down on the family of four, they looked like a lovely family.


    At the dinner table in the Silverstein Residence, Maggie had prepared a table full of delectable dishes,


    and Brandon had retrieved the wine he had kept for a few years and was reluctant to drink. Judging


    from her father’s behavior, Bonnie could tell right after Brandon came home that he was in an excellent


    mood.


    However, this realization made her feel gloomy because her father’s good mood must be rted to


    Queenie! As she expected, a while after they began eating, Brandon told everyone about the important


    project they hadnded today and praised Queenie along the way.


    “Queenie, you were so great today. You helped thepanynd a 1.5 billion project within one day.”


    Hearing thepliment, Queenie smiled humbly. “Dad, you don’t have to be so worked up about this.”


    Maggie was also surprised to hear that. “Really? Queenie, you’re such a capable person! You’ve


    alreadynded such a huge project right after joining thepany.”


    Meanwhile, Bonnie felt like she had suffered an invisible blow as she red at Queenie, unable to hide


    the jealousy in her heart. No wonder Dad is so happy. So, she did make a huge contribution.


    “Mom, it’s andscaping project under Mason Group, and ourpany just happened to have a


    landscaping construction service, so we decided to go for it, and Nigel agreed to let us have this


    project.”


    “Oh, you. Looking at you so angryst night scared me. I thought you guys were having a huge


    dispute! Who would have thought you two had worked it out after one night?” Maggie criticized


    Queenie.


    Queenie also felt a little embarrassed about that. “Mom, it wasn’t my intention to throw such a huge


    tantrum. I was too caught up in my thoughts.”


    “You’re amazing, Queenie. Besides ourpany, who else could the Manson Group give this project


    to? He’s your boyfriend, after all.” Bonnie made a snarky remark.


    “You can’t put it that way. Nigel’s family is part of the business too,” Maggie reminded her daughter.


    Queenie had also asked Nigel about this earlier that afternoon, but he insisted on giving it to Silverstein


    Enterprise. However, Queenie wasn’t worried, for she had seen thepany’sndscape construction


    works and knew they couldplete the Manson Group’s project.


    After drinking two sses of wine, Brandon apanied Maggie out for a stroll. The servants had all


    gone home, and Queenie was in her dad’s study, looking at the reports from work.


    Just then, Bonnie came into the study.


    “Queenie, can you teach me how to read these reports? I want to learn how to manage thepany


    too!”


    “If you want to learn how to manage apany, you should start with the basics before interning at the


    company. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you,” Queenie suggested.


    However, Bonnie wasn’t the learning type. She had stopped going to school after finishing junior high.


    Although she disguised herself to look like a rich youngdy, she was someone without much


    knowledge.


    Not only did she hate going to school and taking exams, but she didn’t even have the patience to read


    a book. She would rather spend time watching television shows and going shopping, indulging herself


    in her materialistic happiness.


    “You aren’t willing to teach me, are you, Queenie? You’re afraid that I’dpete with you for Dad’s


    company!” She deliberately twisted Queenie’s words.


    “That’s not what I mean.” Queenie frowned.


    “That’s exactly what you mean.” Bonnie sneered.


    “Bonnie, this family will never restrict your food and clothing, but I hope that you can respect Dad’s


    decision of who gets to manage thepany.”


    “Dad will pick you, of course! To him, you’re better and far more knowledgeable than me, but we’re both


    Silverstein daughters, yet I’m the more pitiful one! Since young, I never had the chance to receive


    proper education, and my living conditions weren’t as wealthy and prestigious as yours.” Bonnie always


    used her childhood to belittle herself and evoke guilt in Queenie.


    Before this, Queenie would indeed feel guilty whenever she heard Bonnie devaluing herself and would


    feel sorry for Bonnie’s unfortunate childhood. But now, Queenie was unfazed by it.


    “I still have to go through these reports. Head back to your room!” Queenie ordered.


    “Queenie, I’m telling you this right now—it doesn’t matter if you’re the one managing thepany or


    not, all of Dad’s assets will be equally shared among us,” Bonnie emphasized. In actuality, this was the


    reason she hade to look for Queenie.


    Hearing that, Queenie couldn’t help but feel angry. “The most important thing now is Dad’s health. How


    could you think about splitting his assets?”


    Subconsciously, Bonnie felt flustered. “That’s not what I meant.”


    “Bonnie Silverstein, you are a member of this family, so why don’t you stop thinking about money every


    day and start paying attention to our aging parents, as well as the responsibilities we have to take up?”


    Queenie felt bothered by Bonnie’s earlier words.


    However, Bonnie couldn’t share Queenie’s sentiment. She didn’t belong to this family, and there was


    no blood rtion between her and the members of this family. More importantly, she just wanted to


    take everything without exerting any effort.


    “I won’t bother you anymore, Queenie.” After saying that, Bonnie turned around and left. When she


    returned to her room, the makeup on her face made her feel ufortable, so she decided to clean


    her face. Just as she was about to apply moisturizer to her face, she widened her eyes in shock upon


    noticing a small dent on her forehead. Though it wasn’t very obvious, it was one of the aftereffects of


    her forehead filling.


    At once, she scanned her face from left to right, feeling flustered. How could there be a dent so soon?


    If Queenie sees this, she will certainly be suspicious.


    While clutching her chest, Bonnie decided she must undergo recovery surgery soon. She couldn’t


    afford any ws on her face, after all.


    She had no ns of telling Lisbeth about this either. Lisbeth was just an ignorant woman who didn’t


    know anything, and Bonnie wanted to deal with this matter alone. Now that she had money, she could


    find a better stic surgeon.


    With that, she gently pulled away the hair behind her ear. There was still an evident scar where she


    had removed her cartge. This was also one of her darkest secrets she could never reveal to


    Queenie.


    Fortunately for Bonnie, she kept that spot hidden under her hair, which was why it hadn’t been


    discovered yet.


    After letting out a breath, she looked at her face and thought, There cannot be anything wrong with this


    face.


    Meanwhile, Queenie kept working until 9.30PM before she received a call from Nigel. When he heard


    that she was still working, he insisted that she shouldn’t work after 10.00PM and must head to bed.


    Queenie told him she still had a huge pile of reports to go through, and Nigel wished he could teleport


    there and help her.


    She promised to head to bed at 10.00PM in the end, but he requested that she video call him in the


    name of supervising her.


    Having no choice, Queenie had to abide by his words. Twenty minutes before 10.00PM, she took a


    shower and changed into her pajamas before sitting on the couch in her room and video calling Nigel.


    Nigel’s handsome face still looked wless on screen. Heined disappointedly, “s! I thought


    you’d wear your spaghetti strap pajama top! Turns out I was excited about nothing.”


    While ring at him through the screen, Queenie retorted, “What are you thinking? If you want to see


    me in straps, you have to let me look at your abs.”


    “Do you want to see them?” After saying that, he generously showed her his abdomen. Queenie


    blushed at that, but she nheless stared at them.


    It was finally the weekend, so Queenie could peacefully sleep in the next morning. Last night, she


    chatted with Nigel and lost all sense of sleepiness. Thus, she stayed awake until 1.00AM before falling


    asleep.


    Hence, she left a note on her door, notifying the others that she would skip breakfast.


    In the meantime, at the dining table, Bonnie had woken up bright and early. Suddenly, she voiced her


    request to her parents.


    “Dad, Mom, I want to go on vacation to Hond for a while. I’ve asked a friend to apany me there.


    I just want to take a break and have some fun.” Bonnie spoke up while she instinctively touched her


    forehead. Even though she had used a heavyyer of concealer to cover the dent, she was still feeling


    nervous about it.


    “Why do you suddenly want to head to Hond? Do you have any friends there?” Maggie was still


    worried. After all, her younger daughter had been away from home for a long time, and she was


    worried that something might happen to Bonnie if she went away on holiday.


    “Don’t worry, Mom! My friend is very familiar with that ce, so there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just


    that I’ve been feeling boredtely, and I want to have a short break,” Bonnie said with a serious


    expression before she continued aggrievedly, “I didn’t have much money back then, so I never went


    abroad. Now that I’ve finally found my family, I have to go outside and experience life.”


    The Silverstein parents looked at each other before Maggie nodded resignedly. “Fine, but you have to


    keep in contact with us and tell us that you’re safe every day, understand?”


    “Of course! Thank you, Dad and Mom, but there’s something else…” While biting her lips, she rubbed


    her fingers together. “I’m a little short of moneytely, so could you guys lend me some money first?”


    Brandon said with a chuckle, “Sure thing. I have a card with two million inside. Take it with you just in


    case!”


    “Thank you, Dad. You’re the best.” Bonnie was ted. With that amount of money, she could afford the


    fees for her stic surgery at a better hospital.


    She could now rest assured.


    “When are you leaving?” Maggie couldn’t help but ask.


    “I’ll be going next week! I have to pack my luggage first.” Bonnie still needed to do her research since


    she had done her previous stic surgery in the country. She only did some detailed work since her


    face resembled Queenie’s to begin with, but she didn’t expect the effects to wear off so quickly and


    be dented after only a short while.


    “That’s good, you still have some time. That way, you can have a good rest at home before leaving!”


    Maggie still hoped that Bonnie wouldn’t leave so soon.


    That afternoon, the Silverstein parents went to visit their friend, and Bonnie was feeling very bored at


    home. At that moment, Queenie woke up and exited her room to head downstairs to eat.


    Noticing how the door to Queenie’s bedroom was slightly ajar, Bonnie felt tempted and gently pushed


    the door open before heading inside. She enjoyed looking through Queenie’s things back then and


    could take whatever she wanted.


    But now, she wanted to see how many good things Queenie had received, such as jewels and bags.


    Even though she couldn’t take them, she could still look around and try them on.


    She was surprised when she saw Queenie’s phone on the bed. She subconsciously went over to pick it


    up, and the phone suddenly unlocked despite needing facial recognition.


    Bonnie widened her eyes, feeling delighted. What’s up with this? Did I just unlock Queenie’s phone


    with my face?


    Once she unlocked Queenie’s phone, Bonnie flipped through the woman’s messages and saw her and


    Nigel’s chat history.


    Then, a vicious thought emerged in her mind. If I ask Nigel out to a hotel in the middle of the night,


    would I be able to sleep with him with the lights on?


    If this happens, it wouldn’t matter if Nigel hates me, for Queenie will never ept him after finding out


    that he’s slept with me! With that thought in mind, Bonnie immediately decided to carry out that n.


    It was still early morning, and she needed to get Nigel out tonight. Also, since she could use her face to


    unlock Queenie’s phone, it would be very easy for her to execute her n.


    Aftering out of Queenie’s room, Bonnie returned to her room and began to think about the details


    of her n.


    She would soon be heading abroad to have stic surgery and would be staying there for at least


    three months. Therefore, she had to go ahead with this n to make sure Queenie and Nigel broke up


    before she went abroad.


    Meanwhile, Queenie finished her breakfast and went upstairs. She had forgotten her phone in her


    room, so she went to retrieve it before heading to Brandon’s study. Even though it was the weekend,


    she still considered it as time for her to study, so she couldn’t bezy.


    On the other hand, Bonnie went to a shopping mall outside. Now that she had be the seconddy


    of the Silverstein Family, she stopped contacting the friends she had before as she was afraid that they


    would recognize her. Whenever she went out, she would use the money she got from the Silversteins


    to shop to her heart’s content and satisfy her materialistic needs.


    Today, she was shopping at a mall when she was suddenly met with a young woman hugging a middle-


    aged man’s arm at the entrance of the mall. The young woman’s eyes instantly lit up when she saw all


    the luxury items inside the shopping mall, and she began excitedly telling the man that she wanted to


    pick out a few items. Though the man looked a little reluctant, he still agreed.


    After that, the young woman began selecting the items she wanted. When she saw the woman who


    was in the middle of trying on a pair of shoes, she immediately called out, “Nina Lindsay? It is you!”


    Bonnie looked up at the young woman in shock and instantly recognized the young woman as one of


    her colleagues and friends whom she had worked with for four to five years.


    Quickly changing back into her shoes, Bonnie rose to her feet in a fluster and denied, “You’ve gotten


    the wrong person. I’m not Nina Lindsay.”


    “Stop pretending! Even if you’ve gotten stic surgery, I can still recognize you at a nce. We used to


    be good friends, so you wouldn’t hide from me, would you?” The young woman grabbed Bonnie’s arm


    and looked at her sharply. “When everyone said you’d disappeared, I thought something happened to


    you and was even worried about you, but it seems like you’ve been living a good life!”


    Seeing that she couldn’t keep up the act, Bonnie struggled to get out of the woman’s grip and replied,


    “Yes. I have my own life now, so I’ve forgotten everything from before.”


    “Where did you get so much money? Why didn’t you tell us and share the fortune?” While eyeing


    Bonnie’s clothes, essories, and bag, the young woman couldn’t help but feel envious of Bonnie as


    she admired her.


    Women with backgrounds like theirs would be considered very fortunate to get to where Bonnie was,


    so she wanted Bonnie to help her as well.


    However, Bonnie’s face fell as she rejected, “The people and things from before have nothing to do


    with me anymore, so don’t ever look for me again.”


    “Hey, Nina, that’s so merciless of you! Have you forgotten that I still have photos and videos of you and


    Mr. Wilson? Don’t think you can get rid of me so easily! You shouldn’t forget about others after you’ve


    gotten rich!” The young woman wasn’t an easy person to deal with either. The moment she recognized


    Bonnie, she knew she had to get something from her, and the things she had inside her phone were


    her leverage.


    “You…” Bonnie’s face paled as she called out the young woman’s name, “Danielle Cosimo, how dare


    you threaten me?”


    “You know what we do for a living. All I want is to get rich. I need money.”


    “I don’t have money. Everything I have is off-brand. Please, have mercy on me,” Bonnie begged.


    Danielle pointed at her bracelet. “Sure, but you have to give me that.”


    Bonnie held the bracelet tightly. The bracelet was a gift from Leslie, and it was worth about twenty-


    thousand dors. She was reluctant to give it away.


    “You won’t give it to me? Fine. Then I guess I’ll upload these videos to the hub.”


    “Take it.” Bonnie took her bracelet off and handed it to Danielle.


    Okay. That worked. Danielle wanted more, and she took her phone out. “Give me your number. I’d love


    to have coffee with you.”


    “I don’t have time for coffee.”


    “Your loss,” Danielle threatened again.


    Bonnie had no choice but to give Danielle her number before departing in a hurry. Running into her old


    colleague was a disaster. She would never return to her old life. The luxury of living as a Silverstein had


    left a mark on her and she would never return to the position of a hostess.


    A distraught Bonnie returned to her car. She gnashed her teeth and hissed, “I’m Bonnie. I’m a


    Silverstein. I’m not Nina. Nina’s dead. Nina Lindsay doesn’t exist anymore.”


    A scream of despair escaped her lips, fear grasping her heart. Even after her cosmetic surgery, the


    people from her past still managed to recognize her. I have to be careful even when I go around now.


    She rposed herself and returned home. Brandon gave her the card and told her she could use the


    funds for her trip. She took the card and resolved never to leave this family again, but she had another


    n to execute. She had to get Queenie’s phone.


    After they had dinner, Brandon summoned Queenie. “Come to my study, Queenie.”


    Bonnie noticed Queenie’s phone on the sofa and covered it with a pillow. Queenie looked at the couch


    but didn’t see her phone there. Probably in my room. She then followed her father to the study.


    Bonnie went to the garden with Queenie’s phone in hand, and she quickly texted Nigel, ‘Hey, are you


    free tonight? Want to meet up?’


    ‘Sure. Where?’ Nigel texted back right away.


    Envy filled Bonnie’s heart. ‘I’d like to reserve a room in your hotel.’


    ‘Nah. Juste to my suite.’


    ‘Really? You’re at the hotel right now?’


    ‘No. I’m in a meeting. You can head to the hotel first and tell the receptionist to give you the key.’


    ‘What if they won’t give it to me?’


    ‘Tell them you’re Queenie, and they’ll do it. You’re my girlfriend. They’ll do anything for you.’


    The more they texted, the more envy overwhelmed Bonnie. I can’t believe he treats her so nicely.


    ‘Sure. I’ming now. Don’t leave me waiting, and don’t text me when I’m driving, alright?’


    ‘Sure, I’ll be there in half an hour. Do you want some choctes? It’s the one you like. You finished the


    suppliesst time.’


    ‘Of course. I love those choctes!’ Bonnie tried her best to mimic Queenie’s text style.


    ‘Alright.’


    ‘See youter.’


    ‘See youter.’


    Right after that, Bonnie blocked Nigel’s number and set the messaging app to Do Not Disturb. I won’t


    let them text and ruin my n. Once I sleep with him, there’s no turning back. He can kill me, but


    Queenie will break up with him because she’ll never be able to ept that he has slept with me.


    Bonnie would do it even if it meant her parents would disapprove. All she had to do was tell them she


    liked Nigel. She returned to the living room, put Queenie’s phone back on the sofa, and told her mother,


    “I’m sleeping over at my friend’s ce tonight. We’re going to talk about the trip.”


    “Boy or girl?”


    “She’s a girl, Mom. Don’t worry. I know my friends,” Bonnie promised.


    “Alright, honey. Be careful. Call me if you need anything.”


    “Okay.” Bonnie looked at the time and left in a hurry.


    Queenie had gone to her room to look for her phone, but she couldn’t find it anywhere. She came out


    and asked, “Have you seen my phone, Mom? I can’t find it.”


    Maggie helped with the search. She saw the phone on the sofa after picking the pillow up. “Hey, it’s


    right here!”


    Queenie smacked her forehead. “I can’t believe I forgot I left it here.” She picked it up and realized the


    phone felt hot. Odd. Just then, she heard the car revving up. A frown furrowed her brows. “Who’s going


    out?”


    “Bonnie. She’s crashing at her friend’s ce to talk about the trip to Hond.”


    “She’s going to Hond?” First time I’ve heard of it.


    “Yeah. She wants to breathe a little. Your father and I are worried, but we can’t keep her cooped up.


    She said a good friend is going with her,” Maggie said.


    Queenie mused over it, and she thought something was off. Wait a minute. Bonnie has never


    introduced any of her friends to me since she returned. I didn’t know she had friends. “I’m going to my


    room, Mom.” She then went upstairs.


    Bonnie was speeding her way to Manson Group. I’m going to make him mine tonight. All I have to do is


    turn off the lights and throw myself at him. Nigel loves her. He won’t refuse me. It’ll be toote when he


    finds out.


    Fate is on my side. Her phone’s face recognition recognized me. Thanks to that, I managed to ask


    Nigel out, and I won’t let this chance go to waste. She was starting to tremble with excitement.


    At the same time, Nigel lost all mood to hold the meeting, not when he was about to get lucky with


    Queenie. “Meeting adjourned.” He left in a hurry. Gotta see her ASAP.


    It was a summer night. The air was filled with passion, and Nigel sped all the way to his hotel. He was


    still checking his texts and thought the invitation sounded a bit unlike Queenie, but he thought nothing


    of it.


    Bonnie entered the lobby of the hotel. Apart from having dressed herself up like how Queenie usually


    would, she was also mimicking how Queenie would walk and act. She reached the reception and


    asked, “Hi, I’m Queenie—”


    Before she could finish, the receptionist replied enthusiastically, “Here to get Mr. Manson’s key, I


    assume? Here.” She handed the key to Bonnie.


    Twenty minutes ago, their boss called them specifically to tell them that Queenie wasing, and


    everyone perked up. Queenie was the future wife of Nigel and theirdy boss. Of course, they had to


    be careful.


    “Thank you.” Bonnie nodded politely, but her heart was washed over by delight. God, this feels great. I


    want to change bodies with Queenie. I’d love to live her life for a day. Like that Kimi no Na wa movie.


    Is this how everyone’s going to treat Queenie if she marries Nigel? Right. I’ve got to break them up


    then. No, I’m going further. I’ll make sure her life is a living hell.


    “Can you take me to his suite, please?” Bonnie asked. She had no idea where Nigel’s suite was.


    The receptionist was more than happy to do that. She smiled and led Bonnie to the elevator. Even on


    their way up, Bonnie could feel the look of envy she was receiving, and Bonnie raised her chin


    haughtily. Eventually, they came to Nigel’s suite, and Bonnie went inside.


    The first thought she had of the suite was: luxurious. This is some kind of dream house.


    The whole city unfurled beneath the French window. A happy Bonnie ran to the balcony and admired


    the view. Just one look and she felt like she was on top of the world. I love this ce.


    “I wish this were mine.” Jealousy and greed filled her soul once more. Being rich is nice.


    She snapped out of her delusion quickly. I have to set things up quickly. I have to turn off the lights and


    change into some sexy lingerie before he gets here.


    She got showered, changed into sexy lingerie, and took a seat on the couch, then waited for Nigel to


    show up.


    She had left only the lights on the balcony open, making sure nothing but a dim light shone into the


    suite.


    The moment Nigel entered the lobby, the receptionist said, “Miss Silverstein is waiting in your suite, sir.”


    Nigel nodded and hastened his steps.


    The receptionist giggled. Looks like the president has finally taken a liking to a woman. Wonder how


    she managed to make him fall for her.


    Nigel went into the elevator and started humming a happy tune. A small smile kept tugging at his lips,


    and it slowly broadened. Hope I can get lucky tonight. Eventually, he came to his suite. Everyone else


    had to use a key to unlock the door, but all he had to do was press his finger against the smart door


    ess system. The door unlocked, but what greeted him was a dim room. Odd. Is she not here yet?


    Just when he was about to turn on the lights, someone on the sofa said, “Don’t turn the lights on.”


    Bonnie spoke softly in her best attempt to mimic Queenie’s voice.


    Nigel froze for a few moments, then he smiled. “Why not? Do you have a surprise for me?”


    “Yes, a surprise,” Bonnie answered softly. She then stood up, but all Nigel could see was her back.


    Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Bonnie and Queenie had simr looks and bodies. Nigel didn’t notice it was Bonnie just by looking at


    her back.


    However, he then noticed she was wearing a camisole. He had grumbled that she had never worn a


    camisole for him the day before. But now she’s wearing one.


    “Okay, what happened? What’s with the camisole?” Nigel put his car key down and approached


    Bonnie.


    Thanks to her old job, Bonnie could still act calmly despite her nervousness. She looked at Nigel, but


    the light kept her face in the shadows. “Why? Don’t you like it?”


    “I love it,” Nigel answered, but still he thought Queenie was uncharacteristically forward tonight.


    “I’ll be waiting for you on the bed. You take a bath.” She then went to the bed, leaving Nigel


    dumbfounded. She’s being really forward.


    “Is something wrong, Queenie?” He was worried for her all of a sudden. Why is she doing this? Did


    something happen?


    “No. Just feel like sleeping with you.” Bonnie tried to make her voice sound as seductive as possible.


    “Don’t you want me?”


    “You know what we do for a living. All I want is to get rich. I need money.”


    “I don’t have money. Everything I have is off-brand. Please, have mercy on me,” Bonnie begged.


    Danielle pointed at her bracelet. “Sure, but you have to give me that.”


    Bonnie held the bracelet tightly. The bracelet was a gift from Leslie, and it was worth about twenty-


    thousand dors. She was reluctant to give it away.


    “You won’t give it to me? Fine. Then I guess I’ll upload these videos to the hub.”


    “Take it.” Bonnie took her bracelet off and handed it to Danielle.


    Okay. That worked. Danielle wanted more, and she took her phone out. “Give me your number. I’d love


    to have coffee with you.”


    “I don’t have time for coffee.”


    “Your loss,” Danielle threatened again.


    Bonnie had no choice but to give Danielle her number before departing in a hurry. Running into her old


    colleague was a disaster. She would never return to her old life. The luxury of living as a Silverstein had


    left a mark on her and she would never return to the position of a hostess.


    A distraught Bonnie returned to her car. She gnashed her teeth and hissed, “I’m Bonnie. I’m a


    Silverstein. I’m not Nina. Nina’s dead. Nina Lindsay doesn’t exist anymore.”


    A screom of despoir escoped her lips, feor grosping her heort. Even ofter her cosmetic surgery, the


    people from her post still monoged to recognize her. I hove to be coreful even when I go oround now.


    She rposed herself ond returned home. Brondon gove her the cord ond told her she could use the


    funds for her trip. She took the cord ond resolved never to leove this fomily ogoin, but she hod onother


    plon to execute. She hod to get Queenie’s phone.


    After they hod dinner, Brondon summoned Queenie. “Come to my study, Queenie.”


    Bonnie noticed Queenie’s phone on the sofo ond covered it with o pillow. Queenie looked ot the couch


    but didn’t see her phone there. Probobly in my room. She then followed her fother to the study.


    Bonnie went to the gorden with Queenie’s phone in hond, ond she quickly texted Nigel, ‘Hey, ore you


    free tonight? Wont to meet up?’


    ‘Sure. Where?’ Nigel texted bock right owoy.


    Envy filled Bonnie’s heort. ‘I’d like to reserve o room in your hotel.’


    ‘Noh. Juste to my suite.’


    A scream of despair escaped her lips, fear grasping her heart. Even after her cosmetic surgery, the


    people from her past still managed to recognize her. I have to be careful even when I go around now.


    She rposed herself and returned home. Brandon gave her the card and told her she could use the


    funds for her trip. She took the card and resolved never to leave this family again, but she had another


    n to execute. She had to get Queenie’s phone.


    After they had dinner, Brandon summoned Queenie. “Come to my study, Queenie.”


    Bonnie noticed Queenie’s phone on the sofa and covered it with a pillow. Queenie looked at the couch


    but didn’t see her phone there. Probably in my room. She then followed her father to the study.


    Bonnie went to the garden with Queenie’s phone in hand, and she quickly texted Nigel, ‘Hey, are you


    free tonight? Want to meet up?’


    ‘Sure. Where?’ Nigel texted back right away.


    Envy filled Bonnie’s heart. ‘I’d like to reserve a room in your hotel.’


    ‘Nah. Juste to my suite.’


    ‘Really? You’re at the hotel right now?’


    ‘No. I’m in a meeting. You can head to the hotel first and tell the receptionist to give you the key.’


    ‘What if they won’t give it to me?’


    ‘Tell them you’re Queenie, and they’ll do it. You’re my girlfriend. They’ll do anything for you.’


    The more they texted, the more envy overwhelmed Bonnie. I can’t believe he treats her so nicely.


    ‘Sure. I’ming now. Don’t leave me waiting, and don’t text me when I’m driving, alright?’


    ‘Sure, I’ll be there in half an hour. Do you want some choctes? It’s the one you like. You finished the


    suppliesst time.’


    ‘Of course. I love those choctes!’ Bonnie tried her best to mimic Queenie’s text style.


    ‘Alright.’


    ‘See youter.’


    ‘See youter.’


    Right after that, Bonnie blocked Nigel’s number and set the messaging app to Do Not Disturb. I won’t


    let them text and ruin my n. Once I sleep with him, there’s no turning back. He can kill me, but


    Queenie will break up with him because she’ll never be able to ept that he has slept with me.


    Bonnie would do it even if it meant her parents would disapprove. All she had to do was tell them she


    liked Nigel. She returned to the living room, put Queenie’s phone back on the sofa, and told her mother,


    “I’m sleeping over at my friend’s ce tonight. We’re going to talk about the trip.”


    “Boy or girl?”


    “She’s a girl, Mom. Don’t worry. I know my friends,” Bonnie promised.


    “Alright, honey. Be careful. Call me if you need anything.”


    “Okay.” Bonnie looked at the time and left in a hurry.


    Queenie had gone to her room to look for her phone, but she couldn’t find it anywhere. She came out


    and asked, “Have you seen my phone, Mom? I can’t find it.”


    Maggie helped with the search. She saw the phone on the sofa after picking the pillow up. “Hey, it’s


    right here!”


    Queenie smacked her forehead. “I can’t believe I forgot I left it here.” She picked it up and realized the


    phone felt hot. Odd. Just then, she heard the car revving up. A frown furrowed her brows. “Who’s going


    out?”


    “Bonnie. She’s crashing at her friend’s ce to talk about the trip to Hond.”


    “She’s going to Hond?” First time I’ve heard of it.


    “Yeoh. She wonts to breothe o little. Your fother ond I ore worried, but we con’t keep her cooped up.


    She soid o good friend is going with her,” Moggie soid.


    Queenie mused over it, ond she thought something wos off. Woit o minute. Bonnie hos never


    introduced ony of her friends to me since she returned. I didn’t know she hod friends. “I’m going to my


    room, Mom.” She then went upstoirs.


    Bonnie wos speeding her woy to Monson Group. I’m going to moke him mine tonight. All I hove to do is


    turn off the lights ond throw myself ot him. Nigel loves her. He won’t refuse me. It’ll be too lote when he


    finds out.


    Fote is on my side. Her phone’s foce recognition recognized me. Thonks to thot, I monoged to osk


    Nigel out, ond I won’t let this chonce go to woste. She wos storting to tremble with excitement.


    At the some time, Nigel lost oll mood to hold the meeting, not when he wos obout to get lucky with


    Queenie. “Meeting odjourned.” He left in o hurry. Gotto see her ASAP.


    It wos o summer night. The oir wos filled with possion, ond Nigel sped oll the woy to his hotel. He wos


    still checking his texts ond thought the invitotion sounded o bit unlike Queenie, but he thought nothing


    of it.


    “Yeah. She wants to breathe a little. Your father and I are worried, but we can’t keep her cooped up.


    She said a good friend is going with her,” Maggie said.


    Queenie mused over it, and she thought something was off. Wait a minute. Bonnie has never


    introduced any of her friends to me since she returned. I didn’t know she had friends. “I’m going to my


    room, Mom.” She then went upstairs.


    Bonnie was speeding her way to Manson Group. I’m going to make him mine tonight. All I have to do is


    turn off the lights and throw myself at him. Nigel loves her. He won’t refuse me. It’ll be toote when he


    finds out.


    Fate is on my side. Her phone’s face recognition recognized me. Thanks to that, I managed to ask


    Nigel out, and I won’t let this chance go to waste. She was starting to tremble with excitement.


    At the same time, Nigel lost all mood to hold the meeting, not when he was about to get lucky with


    Queenie. “Meeting adjourned.” He left in a hurry. Gotta see her ASAP.


    It was a summer night. The air was filled with passion, and Nigel sped all the way to his hotel. He was


    still checking his texts and thought the invitation sounded a bit unlike Queenie, but he thought nothing


    of it.


    Bonnie entered the lobby of the hotel. Apart from having dressed herself up like how Queenie usually


    would, she was also mimicking how Queenie would walk and act. She reached the reception and


    asked, “Hi, I’m Queenie—”


    Before she could finish, the receptionist replied enthusiastically, “Here to get Mr. Manson’s key, I


    assume? Here.” She handed the key to Bonnie.


    Twenty minutes ago, their boss called them specifically to tell them that Queenie wasing, and


    everyone perked up. Queenie was the future wife of Nigel and theirdy boss. Of course, they had to


    be careful.


    “Thank you.” Bonnie nodded politely, but her heart was washed over by delight. God, this feels great. I


    want to change bodies with Queenie. I’d love to live her life for a day. Like that Kimi no Na wa movie.


    Is this how everyone’s going to treat Queenie if she marries Nigel? Right. I’ve got to break them up


    then. No, I’m going further. I’ll make sure her life is a living hell.


    “Can you take me to his suite, please?” Bonnie asked. She had no idea where Nigel’s suite was.

    She had left only the lights on the balcony open, making sure nothing but a dim light shone into the


    suite.


    The moment Nigel entered the lobby, the receptionist soid, “Miss Silverstein is woiting in your suite, sir.”


    Nigel nodded ond hostened his steps.


    The receptionist giggled. Looks like the president hos finolly token o liking to o womon. Wonder how


    she monoged to moke him foll for her.


    Nigel went into the elevotor ond storted humming o hoppy tune. A smoll smile kept tugging ot his lips,


    ond it slowly broodened. Hope I con get lucky tonight. Eventuolly, hee to his suite. Everyone else


    hod to use o key to unlock the door, but oll he hod to do wos press his finger ogoinst the smort door


    ess system. The door unlocked, but whot greeted him wos o dim room. Odd. Is she not here yet?


    Just when he wos obout to turn on the lights, someone on the sofo soid, “Don’t turn the lights on.”


    Bonnie spoke softly in her best ottempt to mimic Queenie’s voice.


    Nigel froze for o few moments, then he smiled. “Why not? Do you hove o surprise for me?”


    “Yes, o surprise,” Bonnie onswered softly. She then stood up, but oll Nigel could see wos her bock.

    However, he then noticed she was wearing a camisole. He had grumbled that she had never worn a


    camisole for him the day before. But now she’s wearing one.


    “Okay, what happened? What’s with the camisole?” Nigel put his car key down and approached


    Bonnie.


    Thanks to her old job, Bonnie could still act calmly despite her nervousness. She looked at Nigel, but


    the light kept her face in the shadows. “Why? Don’t you like it?”


    “I love it,” Nigel answered, but still he thought Queenie was uncharacteristically forward tonight.


    “I’ll be waiting for you on the bed. You take a bath.” She then went to the bed, leaving Nigel


    dumbfounded. She’s being really forward.


    “Is something wrong, Queenie?” He was worried for her all of a sudden. Why is she doing this? Did


    something happen?


    “No. Just feel like sleeping with you.” Bonnie tried to make her voice sound as seductive as possible.


    “Don’t you want me?”


    Nigel narrowed his eyes. He stared at thedy before him, a strange feeling welling within his heart.


    Queenie had always been a straightforward woman. Even if she liked him, all she would do was give


    him a big hug. This seduction y was not like her at all.


    Any other man would have taken the invitation, but not Nigel. He would show respect to the women he


    loved. “Did something happen, Queenie? Tell me.” He then approached the bed.


    When he was about half a meter from the bed, Bonnie decided to make her move. She turned around,


    and before Nigel could see her clearly, she hugged him. “Don’t talk. Just hold me,” she whispered.


    His chin was resting on her head, and he noticed her scent. It wasn’t the scent of Queenie. Instead, it


    was a sickly fragrance. He shoved her away like she was the gue at once while hissing icily, “You’re


    not Queenie. Who are you?”


    Bonnie staggered backward, panic shing in her eyes. She never thought Nigel would see through her


    this quickly, but she had no time to analyze where it went wrong. Calmly, she said, “You’re right. I’m not


    my sister, but I’m here for you.” She pulled the strap of her camisole down. “I’ve loved you ever since I


    saw you. I’m willing to give you everything I have.”


    Nigel turned owoy in disgust. He never expected Bonnie to be the one behind those texts. “Get


    chonged ond get out of my room,” hemonded furiously.


    The look on Bonnie’s foce chonged. She pounced ond wropped her orms oround him. “I love you,


    Nigel. I love you o lot. Pleose don’t soy no to me. I’ll give you everything.”


    Nigel pried her honds owoy ond shoved her bockword. He then strode to the room’s entronce. “Leove,


    or I’ll coll the cops.” He opened the door ond stormed off.


    Now Bonnie wos reolly ponicking. Emborrossment ond frustrotion pointed her foce red. She quickly


    chonged into her dress thot wos lying on the sofo ond picked her bog up before following Nigel out. He


    wos stonding right outside with his honds in his pockets. Even when he wos ongry, she still found him


    endeoring. She bit her lip. “I don’t understond. Queenie ond I ore twins. Why do you like her but not


    me? How is she better thon me?”


    Nigel turned away in disgust. He never expected Bonnie to be the one behind those texts. “Get


    changed and get out of my room,” hemanded furiously.


    The look on Bonnie’s face changed. She pounced and wrapped her arms around him. “I love you,


    Nigel. I love you a lot. Please don’t say no to me. I’ll give you everything.”


    Nigel pried her hands away and shoved her backward. He then strode to the room’s entrance. “Leave,


    or I’ll call the cops.” He opened the door and stormed off.


    Now Bonnie was really panicking. Embarrassment and frustration painted her face red. She quickly


    changed into her dress that was lying on the sofa and picked her bag up before following Nigel out. He


    was standing right outside with his hands in his pockets. Even when he was angry, she still found him


    endearing. She bit her lip. “I don’t understand. Queenie and I are twins. Why do you like her but not


    me? How is she better than me?”


    Nigel shot her a look. “Because she has integrity and morals. You’re an embarrassment of a sister.”


    Bonnie’s face turned redder. The reply felt like a big insult to her. “And how did you find out I wasn’t my


    sister?” That got her curious. I turned the lights off. How did he manage to see through me?


    “Because she smells innocent, while you smell like a sl*t,” he snapped.


    Bonnie hung her head low. “That’s insulting, Nigel.”


    “You did this to yourself. Now scram and don’t breathe a word to Queenie about this. I don’t want you


    disgusting her,” he hissed angrily.


    Bonnie scurried off like a mouse and hopped into her car. It was already half past eleven by then. She


    sneered. Nobody knows what happened. I can tell Queenie he asked me out. Not like they have any


    proof. I just need to ruin their rtionship, that’s all.


    Nigel was washing his hands in another suite. The hotel manager and supervisor were standing next to


    him.


    “What are your orders, sir?”


    “Clean my room thoroughly,” Nigel answered.


    He was disgusted just thinking about the fact that Bonnie touched his stuff. Nigel sat on the sofa and


    whipped his phone out, then he took a deep breath and made a call, but all he got was an automated


    voice saying, “The number you dialed does not exist.”


    He froze. What? Her number doesn’t exist?! He texted her and looked at the time. She’s probably


    asleep. Little did he know that Queenie’s phone was set to Do Not Disturb.


    In the end, he took his car key and left the ce. I have to go to her ce and exin everything. After


    what happenedst time, I’m not going to hide anything from her.


    Bonnie drove all the way home. It was already half past midnight when she reached home. She got out


    of her car and went up to the third floor. Queenie’s room was still lit. She’s still awake. Bonnie smiled


    and knocked on her door.


    Queenie opened it, but the sight of Bonnie made her frown. “I thought you were crashing at your


    friend’s ce. Why are you back home already?”


    Bonnie entered the room. Just one look ot Queenie’s foce mode her snop. Queenie’s beouty stoked


    her flomes of envy, ond she would moke her suffer for whot Nigel soid to her tonight. I will breok her


    heort. “You wont to know where I went? I didn’t go to my friend’s ploce. No, I went to Monson Group to


    see Nigel.” She whispered the lost port of thot sentence.


    If looks could kill, Bonnie would be deod by now. “Why did you see him? Whot did you do to him?”


    Queenie knew Bonnie too well. She would sleep with onyone. Did she seduce Nigel too?


    “He gove me o key ond told me to woit for him in his suite.” She gove onother vogue onswer so


    Queenie would ossume the worst.


    “Impossible. He would never let you into his suite.”


    Oh, woit. I hove evidence. I snopped some photos in his room. She whipped her phone out ond


    scrolled through the photos until she found whot she wonted. Then she showed them to Queenie. “I


    snopped these in his room. There’s o Beorbrick there too, om I right?”


    Bonnie entered the room. Just one look at Queenie’s face made her snap. Queenie’s beauty stoked


    her mes of envy, and she would make her suffer for what Nigel said to her tonight. I will break her


    heart. “You want to know where I went? I didn’t go to my friend’s ce. No, I went to Manson Group to


    see Nigel.” She whispered thest part of that sentence.


    If looks could kill, Bonnie would be dead by now. “Why did you see him? What did you do to him?”


    Queenie knew Bonnie too well. She would sleep with anyone. Did she seduce Nigel too?


    “He gave me a key and told me to wait for him in his suite.” She gave another vague answer so


    Queenie would assume the worst.


    “Impossible. He would never let you into his suite.”


    Oh, wait. I have evidence. I snapped some photos in his room. She whipped her phone out and


    scrolled through the photos until she found what she wanted. Then she showed them to Queenie. “I


    snapped these in his room. There’s a Bearbrick there too, am I right?”


    The color drained from Queenie’s face. The photos couldn’t convince her, but the Bearbrick in it could.


    “Impossible…” She felt her heart getting torn into shreds. He’s not that kind of person.


    “I told you all men are the same. Leslie and Nigel are the same,” Bonnie said smugly. If one didn’t know


    better, one would have thought Nigel had already slept with her. “And he said he was going to bring me


    choctes. The one you finishedst time.”


    Queenie staggered backward. All the blood rushed to her head, and she almost fell.


    Bonnie gloated for a few more moments and tried to leave, but then someone pulled her back, and


    then she got pped in the face.


    Before she could do anything, Queenie grabbed her hair and pulled them out. With anger in her voice,


    she roared, “I’ll kill you, Bonnie!”


    Bonnie had no idea what she just did. An angry Queenie was a berserk Queenie.
