<b>Chapter 219 </b>
<b>After </b>spending the entire day shopping, Stacey not only prepared wee gifts for <b>Isabe </b>and Damian but <b>also </b><b>ended </b>up buying a mishmash of items. She <b>had </b>been contemting Eugene’s trip n to Zentiscape and finally decided to <b>discuss </b><b>it </b>with Hayden.
Realizing that Hayden could have a vacation, she was much happier. Once Hayden didn’t need to work, she didn’t have to worry that her constant texting and chatting would dy his work. With that in mind, <b>Stacey </b>carefully sent a <b>message </b><b>to </b>Hayden, asking him about their childhood.
In Hoggard Vi, Hayden looked at the message from Becky with a doting smile on his <b>face</b>. Then, he typed slowly and earnestly told her about their childhood.

Meanwhile, in Leavey Vi, Queenie returned from Daprein only to <b>discover </b>that <b>she </b>had be the family’sughingstock. Her unsessful attempts to pester Hayden in Daprein not only prevented her from attending Eklonna’s productunch event with him but also led to her being mocked due to <b>her </b><b>dress</b>. Someone even <b>secretly </b>recorded her embarrassing incident in the mall and uploaded it to the Leavey family’s group <b>chat</b>.
Her father, Gavin Leavey, was the first to see the video in the family group chat. With <b>a </b>darkened expression, Gavin called Queenie immediately to ask about the situation in detail.
After Queenie received Gavin’s <b>call</b>, she hurriedly checked the family group chat. As soon as she scrolled through the chat and saw the video sent by her cousin, Liam Leavey, her face instantly turned pale. The embarrassing incident captured in the video left her utterly mortified. Thoughts raced through her mind, ‘No! How did this happen? How would someone record my embarrassing moment in Daprein? Who could it be?” Queenie’s mind <b>was </b>overwhelmed with questions, desperately trying to unravel the person behind it.
The first person who popped out of Queenie’s mind was Hayden, but she dismissed that possibility in just a <b>mere </b>heartbeat. She believed in Hayden’s character. <b>Besides</b><b>, </b>she knew Hayden wouldn’t resort to such furtive tactics if he wanted to deal
with her.
However, her thoughts quickly shifted to another <b>person </b>– Becky! As that option came to her mind, Queenie was certain it was Becky. Considering that she and Hayden were previously married and she wanted to reconcile with Hayden, while Becky intended to hook up with Hayden, Queenie believed it must be Becky. ‘Becky must be afraid that I’ll get back together with Hayden, so she used such a dirty trick to deal with me. How shameless she is!‘ Queenie thought resentfully.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, interrupting Queenie’s thoughts and startling her. But she was relieved to <b>see </b>that it was Florine who entered. “Queenie, what happened with that video? H–How could someone capture you in such an embarrassing situation?” Florine asked, her concern evident as <b>she </b>stepped inside.
Queenie was irritated by the question and told Florine about her guess,
Upon hearing her suspicion, Florine frowned and hesitated, “Are you sure <b>it’s </b><b>Becky</b>?”
Queenie was full of resentment. “<b>I </b>can’t think of anyone but her
Florine agreed and nodded. After reconsidering, she hurriedly said, “Queenie, Hayden is yours. You can’t give up on him. If you hadn’t thrown a tantrum before, you wouldn’t have divorced…”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Queenie <b>was </b>frustrated. “But Hayden doesn’t seem to like me at all.” She hesitated, then told Florine what Hayden had said to her in Daprein
Florine’s <b>face </b><b>darkened </b>when she heard <b>that</b>. “Did he really say <b>that</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Queenie nodded and confirmed, “<b>Yes</b><b>.</b>”

Florine <b>was </b>silent for a while before looking at Queenic and said seriously, “Queenie, don’t give up first<b>. </b>I’ll think <b>of </b><b>another </b>way. <b>The </b>Hoggard family can’t be so heartless. You have a child with Hayden, and the Hoggard family must consider it for the child. How can the child live with a stepmother instead of his biological mother?” After a short ponder, she finally added calmly, “Queenie, let’s change our n. Don’t pester Hayden directly. You look for Jeremy and ask him to say that he <b>doesn’t </b>want Becky to be his stepmother. The Hoggard family cares about him very much<b>. </b>If Jeremy doesn’t <b>agree </b>with <b>Becky </b>as his stepmother, the Hoggard family will surely not allow Becky to marry Hayden.”
When Queenie heard Florine’s words, she inexplicably thought of the <bst </b>time she secretly went to the kindergarten <b>to </b>visit Jeremy but found he wasn’t particrly fond of her. “Mom, Jeremy <b>doesn’t </b>seem to like me very much,” Queenie said anxiously.
Florine took Queenie’s hand and said confidently, “Queenie, you might not fully understand this, but no child in the world dislikes their biological mother, especially at such a young age. Thest time you visited Jeremy must have caught him off guard, leaving him scared. Let’s find a way for you to spend more bonding time with Jeremy. I’m sure Jeremy will definitelye around and support you afterward.”
Queenie thought Florine’s words were reasonable<b>, </b><b>so </b>she nodded and <b>agreed</b>.
While they were talking, Queenie’s phone suddenly rang again. It was her grandmother, Chermaine <b>Leavey</b>. Looking at the caller ID, Queenie suddenly felt nervous.
“Pick up the call,” Florine reassured her.
Queenie hesitated for a moment and then answered it. “Grandma,” Queenie <b>greeted </b>on the phone.
“Queenie, are you busy recently?” Chermaine asked in a kind voice.
Yet, Queenie had nothing to keep <b>her </b>busy. Hudson didn’t let her go to thepany, so her sole focus at <i>that </i>moment was to find a way to reconcile with Hayden. She replied cautiously<b>, </b>“I–I’m not busy recently, Grandma. Is there anything I can do for you?” She couldn’t admit to Chermaine that she was busy. After all, she still hoped to work in the family business. If Chermaine had informed Hudson of her busyness, Hudson would have been even less inclined to let her join.
“Nothing. I just haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you. Queenie,e back to <b>see </b>me if you have time. Let’s have some talk. We haven’t chatted for a long time,” Chermaine said in a regretful and upset tone.
Chermaine truly missed Queenie. Queenie was the child of her eldest son and the first grandchild of the Leavey family. When Queenie was born, Hudson and Chermaine loved her very much and spoiled her as a treasure. However, they didn’t expect her to be so disobedient when she grew up. Although Chermaine was angry, Queenie was still her grandchild after all. She would <b>still </b>feel distressed for her.
“All right, I’ll go back to Leavey Manor tomorrow,” Queenie promised. After finishing her words, Queenie knew clearly that the reason Chermaine would suddenly think of <b>her </b><b>was </b>all because of the video in the family group chat. However, Queenie had to go back to the manor.
“Why do you wait until tomorrow? How about tonight? I’ll have someone prepare your favorite dishes. If you <b>are </b>free tonight, juste over directly,” Chermainemanded.
Queenie wanted to <b>reject </b>but didn’t know how to say it. She hesitated for a while and finally <b>agreed</b>, “Okay.” <b>After </b>promising Chermaine, Queenie said some polite words further and then hung up the phone.
