Chapter 315
"Miss Chariott, we haven''t seen each other for several years. I thought that ordinary women like you
would get old quickly, but I didn''t expect you to be in such good shape."
Queenie saw that Coralie did not mention anything about her beingte, so she continued.
Although her words seemed to sound neutral, they had in fact already given Coralie a hard time.
"Oh please, Auntie Hond. You''ve thought too highly of me," Coralie replied.
Although Coralie did not know what Queenie was trying to say, she still expressed her modesty to
avoid offending Queenie.
"Miss Chariott, I''m not going to beat around the bush. I think you should know why I''m here today."
Queenie saw that since Coralie was so polite to her and did not try to start a fight, she went straight to
the point.
"It should be about the matter between my brother and your daughter," Coralie said.
No matter how dense Coralie was, she knew that with Jamie''s personality, she would definitely tell her
parents about her rtionship after the meal that day.
ording to Skr''s previous phone call, since Queenie had already arranged for Jamie to marry
another person, she wouldn''t allow Jamie to act so recklessly anymore.
"Yes." Queenie nodded. First, she ordered a cup of coffee and continued to say, "In fact, my daughter
told me about Wayne a long time ago. At that time, they were still in college, so I didn''t object to it. I
only asked her to think it over. I thought she would eventually be with your brother, but I didn''t expect
that that was the end of the matter."
Coralie knew about what Queenie had said.
At that time, Wayne told her that he had confessed to Jamie, but then he had never mentioned it again.
Coralie knew that he must have failed.
However,ter, she had too many things to deal with and couldn''t care too much about Wayne, so she
didn''t know what had happened.
"Yes, I know that," said Coralie.
"Good. In fact, you knew me before, so I think you should also have a rough idea that I am not the kind
of bad parent who would force their daughter to marry into a rich family or be a tool for me,"
Queenie continued.
"I understand that."
While Queenie was talking, Coralie replied to her from time to time to show that she was still listening.
However, Queenie was right. She and Elsa Hond had an entirely different personality. Elsa was
rather selfish and would only think about her benefits all the time.
Queenie had interacted with her a few times, especially with the matter of Grandmother Hond’s
inheritance distributionst time. She didn''t voice anything when Grandmother Hond gave Coralie
5% of the shares, and Coralie was very grateful to her.
"However, during the time when my daughter was single, your brother didn''t contact her or make any
real moves. Instead, when I had already arranged a blind date for Jamie and they were moving toward
the stage of engagement, your brother took it upon himself to say that he liked Jamie. Do you think it''s
appropriate?"
Queenie spoke word by word, reasonable and rational.
"You''re right," replied Coralie.
Coralie wanted to hear what Queenie had to say before she thought about how to deal with it.
"I''ve already discussed this with her fiance''s family. Now, my daughter is making a fuss and trying to
break off the engagement, saying that she won''t marry anyone else except Wayne. If this continues,
our Hond family will definitely be looked down on by others. I hope that you can go back and
persuade your brother not to do anything meaningless. If he wants money, we can consider giving him
some, but advise him to let Jamie go."
Queenie finished all her words in one breath.
Coralie listened and waited for a while. After confirming that Queenie had nothing to add, she said,
"Auntie Hond, I''m Wayne''s sister. I can convey your words to Wayne, but I can''t make a decision for
him. I''m sorry."
"You''re his elder. Why can''t you decide for him?" Hearing Coralie''s words, Queenie felt that she was
very irresponsible and immediately spiraled into displeasure. She said, "Jamie has been wasting her
time with Wayne for about six or seven years, since her sophomore year. It wasn''t easy for her to agree
to go on a blind date. Now that they''re engaged, why should he pop up again? What has he been doing
in the past six or seven years? To be honest, the reason why I objected is that I think Wayne is utterly
unreliable."
Queenie doted on her daughter and loved her. While she respected her daughter''s decisions, she also
hoped that she could choose a decent husband.
She didn''t want her daughter to be miserable in the future.
"Auntie Hond, I can vouch that Wayne is a good man. He will be responsible for his behavior and he
will treat Jamie well. Maybe his business is still in the making, but he will improve and be better."
Coralie tried her best to speak for Wayne.
"Coralie, don''t be in such a hurry to speak for him. I advise you to talk to Wayne. If you insist on it, I
won''t be so nice next time." Queenie drank the coffee in front of her and said, "I am just a mother who
wants my daughter to be happy."
After she said that, she left.
Coralie knew that there was nothing topete between her family and the Hond family.
However, she did not wish to make a decision on behalf of her brother.
Coralie stayed for a while before returning home.
When she got home, Wayne had already arrived home. Coralie ryed to him a part of Queenie''s
words.
After hearing this, Wayne sat on the sofa and looked at his phone in a daze. He suddenly said, "I
couldn''t contact Jamie all day today. With her character, she''ll definitely contact me. I wonder if their
family has locked her up."

"Heaven forbid," she said immediately after hearing Wayne''s pessimistic thought. "Although Queenie
doesn''t like you, it''s mainly because she assumed that you can''t give Jamie a happy life, but she''s a
good mother, she won''t go that far."
"But..." Wayne wanted to say something but then he changed, "Then I will contact her at night. I will
also work hard to prove to her parents that I can guarantee her a happy life!"
Wayne and Jamie had just begun their romantic rtionship, and everything they did now was
brimming with enthusiasm.
After Coralie chatted with Wayne at night, she tucked Hendric into bed before she went to Skr''s
house in a taxi.
Because Skr lived in the Golden Town by himself and had no servants to tend to him, Coralie was
very worried about him.
She stayed in Skr''s vi for an entire day. On Saturday night, Coralie received a call from Wayne.
"Coralie, I really can’t reach Jamie. Could you ask if Skr if Jamie has been grounded by her family?"
he asked worriedly.
"You still can''t get in touch with her?" Coralie repeated.
"Yeah," he said.
It was not until this moment that Coralie realized that Wayne might have been right.
She nced at Skr, who was working next to her, and thought for a moment before saying, "Let me
just ask for you."
After hanging up the phone, Coralie did not ask Skr directly but hid in the bathroom first and called
Queenie.
She memorized Queenie''s number thest time she called her.
