Chapter 819 Picking a Fight


    The servants soon brought Julie away to pack her things.


    Everyone agreed that the punishment Donald gave her was lenient.


    However, Queeny felt rather ufortable about this.


    For some reason, she could tell that a girl like Julie would never engage in petty theft.


    Nevertheless, all the evidence said she was the thief. Without a justified reason to contradict the


    evidence, Queeny could not do anything about this.


    The farce was finally over.


    Feeling tired, Queeny told E to wheel her back to her room.


    When they headed down the corridor, they saw Gina and several other maids lead Julie to the gate


    from where the maids lived.


    Julie was carrying a trunk and a backpack, which probably held her belongs.


    She was still crying while wiping her tears with the back of her hand.


    In the meanwhile, she kept bobbing her head, as though answering to the reminders Gina and the


    others were giving her.


    Seeing this, Queeny heaved a sigh inwardly.


    Then, she wheeled around and went to her room.


    Because of the fuss, she did not take a nap at noon.


    In the afternoon, she practiced darts for two hours in her room. It was not until dinnertime that she went


    out of her room again.


    It was summer now, so the daytime was longer. As the castle was located on a high hill by theke, it


    was very hot here.


    After the sun started setting at dusk, the evening wind glided across theke and brought the castle


    cool breezes.


    Queeny was in a pretty good mood, so she didn’t want to have dinner in her room. Of course, she


    wouldn’t go to the dining hall to have a meal with Be either. Thus, she asked E to bring dinner to


    the terrace on the second floor.


    The terrace on the second floor happened to face theke. It was about 7 in the evening. The sky was


    notpletely dark yet, but the streetmps were lit.


    Faint moonlight had quietly radiated in the sky. The reflection of a crescent was rippling in the silver


    Queeny didn’t bother to move into a dining chair. Sitting in the wheelchair and facing the moonlight-lit


    E didn’t have dinner with her, for she had had her meal earlier. Now, she was just standing by the


    table, waiting to serve Queeny.


    But Queeny never liked to put on airs. She also distasted the old-fashioned etiquette Felix had


    established.


    Thus, she told E to sit by the table. Even if she wouldn’t eat anything, she could have some juice and


    chat with her.


    But E didn’t dare to do so. She said that she could still chat with Queeny in a standing posture.


    As such, Queeny didn’t insist.


    The evening breezes wafted past, while the delicious smell of the dishes permeated the air. This


    evening was beautiful and serene.


    Over dinner, Queeny and E had a casual chat. They talked about what happened in the castle


    recently and how E’s family was like.


    It was not until this time that Queeny learned E was an orphan.


    E grew up in an orphanage. She no longer remembered what her birth parents looked like.


    She just knew that her family was poor to the point that they didn’t have enough food or clothes.


    One day, the little E had a fever. Her body was burning hot, and her consciousness had already


    begun to fade.


    In a haze, she knew her mother was sitting on the bed, crying. She cried for a whole night. The next


    morning, her mother carried her on her back and went to town, then left her on the doorsteps of an


    orphanage.


    At that time, she was only about four years old. Normally, kids that young couldn’t remember much


    about what happened in their early days.


    However, the scene of her mother walking away had deeply imprinted in E’s memory. Perhaps that


    image when would stay in her mind until she died.


    Later, E was taken in by the orphanage and grew up. Then, halfway through high school, she


    couldn’t continue studying for her grades were not good enough. Therefore, she dropped out of school


    and began to work as a maid.


    Her life was not special at all. But when Queeny heard the story, she couldn’t help but think of how she


    had grown up.


    It turned out that She and E were both orphans and had both led a wretched life.


    After her mother passed away, Queen’s only family in this world was Sarah. But now, Sarah had gone,


    too.

    Thinking of this, Queeny’s heart once again trembled with pain.


    With a forced smile on her face, E said, “It’s actually not so bad of being an orphan. Without a family,


    we’re spared from a lot of worries. We can make decisions with more decisiveness and ease. But for


    people who had a family, they can’t just think for themselves as we do.”


    Queeny nodded and said, “Yeah.”


    Her voice was ethereal, for she seemed to have sighed again.


    The two didn’t speak for a while.


    Right then, a coquettishugh sounded from below.


    “Don’t say that! Felix is not like what you said. He sent these over just to make up for the ones I lost.


    You shouldn’t have made a fuss over this.”


    “Come on, don’t you know Mr. Bissel? If he didn’t care about you, how could he think about buying you


    things?”


    “Exactly. He sent another batch of the finest chicken meat over right after he heard that yours had been


    swapped. Moreover, he also sent a whole lot of other precious ingredients to you this time. Katy and I


    have seen them. Those are all good stuff.”


    Hearing this, Be’s voice revealed a trace of rapture.


    “Fine. Take me there. I wanna see what good stuff it is that made you seem so happy.”


    The others instantly chuckled and said, “Sure. Let’s go.”


    The group then headed for the kitchen.


    E’s face registered contempt as she saw this. She snorted and muttered, “What a shameless bitch!”


    Queeny didn’t say anything. with a perfectly calm face.


    E eyed her and said cautiously, “Miss Horton, don’t over-interpret this. So Mr. Bissel sent some


    ingredients to her. Big deal... He also sent some to you. But we didn’t think it was something worth


    mentioning, so we didn’t go around and brag.”


    After saying this, she also gave a coldugh.


    “These are just some fine ingredients. Yet, Be acted like she had been given a huge reward from the


    king. With her narrow horizons, she should not be Mrs. Bissel at all.”


    Queeny said nonchntly, “I don’t care.”


    Then, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.


    Seeing her cool response, E wasn’t sure if Queeny really didn’t care about this or she was just


    pretending.


    Thus, she merely said, “Of course, Miss Horton.”


    After finishing her tea, Queeny asked E to send the utensils back to the kitchen.


    She wanted to hang out there for a long while before going back to her room. However, shortly after


    E left, Be came in with a triumphant smile on her face.


    “I’ve been looking for you. Turns out you’re here.”


    The night had fallen by this time. Be, however, had changed into an exquisite light blue dress. She


    had also done her hair and put on heavy makeup. It was no exaggeration to say that she was


    gorgeously decked-out.
