“Mom, are you worried about Queenie? I’m worried about her too, but none of my calls are getting through. Bonnie came


    downstairs and hugged Maggie. “It’s all my fault. She ran away from home because of me.”


    “It''s not your fault. Don’t me yourself. I''ll get your father to look for her.” Maggie patted Bonnie on the hand affectionately.


    “Mom, if it means Queenie wille back, | can just move back in with my adopted parents! Queenie won''t be happy if | stay


    here in this house.” Bonnie looked as if she were wallowing in guilt.


    “Oh, you silly child. Don’t say such ridiculous things. Both your father and | consider you our most precious baby. We spent two


    decades looking for you, and we''re not going to let you leave us again.” Maggie hugged Bonnie. Moments ago, she had been


    worried about Queenie, but right now, the only one she cared about was Bonnie.


    Bonnie smirked smugly. She would be the happiest person alive if Queenie never came back!N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Itd be even better if she died while out there. That way, the entire Silverstein Family''s fortune will be mine. Just then, Bonnie’s


    phone started ringing.


    She checked to see that it was Leslie calling, so she happily said to Maggie, “Mom, give me a minute to answer this.”


    Bonnie walked out into the garden before answering. “Have you reached, Leslie?”


    she asked sweetly. “I’m almost there. I''ll take you to a nice restaurantter.”


    “Okay, I''ll be waiting,” Bonnie gushed. Her life now revolved around indulging in all her desires. She could eat, drink, and shop to


    her heart’s content.


    Life couldn’t get any better than this for her. She was even more thrilled that she didn’t have to see Queenie around the house


    anymore.


    Soon, the day came to an end, and it was time to get off work.


    Queenie had been standing for half of her shift and had to take in a lot of new information for the other half. Atst, it was


    6.00PM, and everyone started getting off work. Some went home, while others had dates that night. She was the only one left


    sitting in the staff lounge, and it suddenly hit her that she had nowhere to go.


    She had neither the money to buy herself a meal nor pay for a night at a motel; she had no single cent on her. She had never felt


    this lost and helpless before.


    Although her parents woulde and get her if she called home, she just couldn''t bring herself to make the call.


    Her other option was to call a friend, but she was down in the dumps right now and didn’t want to trouble any of her friends. Well,


    perhaps she was just being stubborn! She wanted to prove that she could face all obstacles in life by herself.


    Queenie couldn''t get in touch with Nigel either. She didn’t know where he was or where his house was. After recalling how kind


    he had been to her so far, she didn’t feel like troubling him any further.


    She looked around the empty staff lounge. | guess | can just stay here for the night! The hotel will provide breakfast tomorrow


    morning, and | can think about the rest after work tomorrow!
