Chapter 245
Chapter 245 Drugged
Queenie learned that Colton would be in the bar tonight, and she dressed up specifically for a chance
encounter with him.
The bar was absolutely perfect for her n. After all, it would be easier to drug him in such a cluttered
environment.
She’d just have to ask him to send her home. With the effect of the drug, her n would undoubtedly
go smoothly.
Queenie couldn’t help but smile when she thought of this.
She then approached Colton gracefully in her high heels and said in a surprised tone, “Colton, it’s really
you! I was wondering whether it’s you when I saw you from a distance, which was why I came closer to
have a look. Don’t you avoid ces like this, though?”
With that, Queenie sat down with them without their invitation.
She then raised her head to look at Richard. With a smile on her face, she nodded to him.
Richard returned a nod too. Then, he turned around and asked Colton, “Are you not introducing us?
Who is this lovelydy?”
But Colton maintained his emotionless expression even after seeing Queenie. “She’s Queenie, an
employee of thepany,” he exined as he sipped his drink.
Queenie’s smile stiffened as she heard Colton introduce herself in this manner, but she said nothing
more and simply cast him a tender nce before looking away.
Richard, on the other hand, looked at both of them and knew something was off. Hence, he did not say
anything as well.
Colton began to tug on his cor a few minutester. He had consumed arge amount of alcohol
earlier and now felt the need to use the gents. “I’m going to the gents,” he said as he stood up.
And he left right after his words, ignoring Queenie.
Sitting directly across from Richard, Queenie looked at the leftover alcohol in Colton’s cup. It is now or
never, she decided.
Hence, with her lips pursed, she tried to start a conversation with Richard to divert his attention. “You’re
Colton’s cousin, right?”
“You can say that.” Richard gave a nod. He could tell Colton wasn’t interested in the woman in front of
him.
While getting the pills from her pocket, she continued, “When I was in the Gardner Residence, I heard
Mrs. Gardner mention you several times. If I’m not mistaken, you’re Richard Jenkins, aren’t you?”
Richard raised his brows when he heard that. She’s not someone simple.
“Yes, I’m Richard. Nice to meet you.” He graciously extended his hand.
“I’m Queenie Anderson.” Queenie reached out to shake his hand as well. At the same time, she threw
one of the pills she had hidden in her other hand into Colton’s ss. The pill instantly dissolved in the
water, leaving no trace.
And Queenie’s actions wentpletely unnoticed in this lively atmosphere with dark lights.
Julia, on the other hand, couldn’t keep her cool. She was furious when she saw Richard and Queenie
happily shaking hands and talking.
Fortunately, Nicole was nearby to keep her friend from blowing a gasket.
“We’ll see how the situation goes. But don’t worry, this woman’s target is Colton,” Nicoleforted.
With her legs crossed, Julia stared coldly at Nicole and responded, “Nicole, this woman is definitely not
a decent one!”
Undeniably, Julia was spot on. Queenie was indeed not some kind of good samaritan.

When Colton returned from the gents, he had no reservations about his ss of alcohol as Richard
was around. Hence, he drank the entire ss.
When Queenie saw this, she smiled. She then tried to think of something to say to him. “Colton, I know
it’s impossible between us now. Before we go our separate ways, can I have a chat with you?” she
asked earnestly.
In response, Colton looked at a solemn Queenie. He wouldn’t mind talking to her if it meant she would
stop bothering him in the future.
Richard sensed the eerie atmosphere between them and quickly said, “Just go. I’m fine by myself here.
Your presence makes little difference.”
“Let’s go, then.” Colton stood up and cast a casual nce at Queenie.
