Chapter 820 The Not-to-be-refused Hospitality


    This immediately reminded Queeny of what E said about Be’s narrow horizons. Faint disdain


    surfaced in her eyes.


    “Why are you here?” she asked in a cool voice.


    Be seemed particrly ted today. She swaggered her way to Queeny before saying, “Well, it’s


    actually nothing. Felix just sent me a lot of good stuff. I figure I shouldn’t have all those precious


    ingredients to myself. Thus, I brought some to you. Check these out.”


    As she spoke, she beckoned Katy. Thetter immediately came in with a tray.


    Be picked up the item on the tray and put it on the table before Queeny.


    “This is the highest grade of ginseng. Cook it in a soup or something. It can make you prettier and even


    prolong your life.”


    Queeny’s eyes rested on the ginseng Be tossed on the table.


    At this point, E, who left for the kitchen earlier, hade back. Her expression altered as she


    happened to witness this.


    With her head drooping, she scurried to the terrace and stood beside Queeny.


    “Miss Horton…”


    She thought Queeny would angrily give Be a tongueshing.


    However, Queeny slowly showed a smile.


    She then picked up the ginseng and examined it. Beaming, she said, “It’s indeed the finest kind. Thank


    you then.”


    After that, she handed the ginseng to E.


    “E, put this away.”


    Staggered, E widened her eyes.


    “Miss Horton…”


    Queeny smiled and said, “It’s a gift from Miss Collins. How can I decline her kind gesture?”


    Like a clear spring, her poised look immediately distinguished the me of anger rising inside E.


    E lowered her chin and took the ginseng, saying, “Yes, Miss Horton.”


    Be watched this from the side. Somehow, she felt the impact of her strike had been tactfully


    neutralized, which got her temper up.


    With a sneer, she said, “Queeny, you probably haven’t heard this. Felix and I are getting married.”


    Queeny’s fingers quivered a little.


    Then, she looked at Be with an unruffled expression and replied, “I know. You’ve told me about that.”


    Be fell silent.


    A momentter, she gritted her teeth, leaned in toward Queeny, and said in a whisper, “Aren’t you


    jealous?”


    Queeny smiled.

    Her hands slowly balled up. Her fingernails were sinking into her palms. Yet, she was still smiling with


    ease, as though this didn’t bother her at all.


    “Why would I be jealous? It’s not like I’m in love with him.”


    What?


    Be was taken aback. Just then, she saw a familiar figureing this way from the corner of her eye.


    She instantly chortled and straightened up. Herughs were light and charming. “That’s true. I’ve heard


    that you and Felix grew up together and used to have feelings for each other. You even dated for years.


    However, this is how love is. When two people are in love, they see each other as the whole world. But


    when love fades, they will be strangers. Therefore, I understand how you see things today.”


    While speaking, Be kept ncing at the stairway.


    That person suddenly paused in his tracks and was rooted there.


    But Queeny didn’t see this because she was facing the entrance with her back.


    She felt a prickle in her heart. It didn’t really hurt. Still, it made her ufortable.


    Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be interested in Felix’s private life.


    After all, their rtionship already ended four years ago.


    It had been over since the day Felix personally put her in jail.


    But her heart didn’t listen to reason. The more she wanted to stay aloof to something, the more her


    heart cared about it.


    Queeny knew this was probably something Be fabricated to irritate her. Still, exasperation red up


    inside her.


    She took a deep breath to repress her swelling anger. In a low voice, she said, “I’m d you


    understand this. Thus, you can stop bothering me with this. You know, even though flies don’t bite, the


    noises they make are quite annoying.”


    These words were slightly rude, which caused Be’s expression to alter.


    Yet, as if having some scruples, she surprisingly didn’t lose her temper. On the contrary, she put on a


    smile.


    “But from what you said, it seems that you still care.”


    Coldly, Queeny remarked, “Are you saying that I have to wish you and Felix a happy life together to


    prove that I don’t mind him marrying another woman?”


    “Yes, of course.”


    Be gave a faint smile and walked to Queeny step by step. Standing on her side, she said under her


    breath, “After Felix and I get married, I’ll be the hostess of this castle. You’re just a guest here. If I feel


    that you’re still any bit hung up on Felix, I won’t feelfortable with you staying here.”


    Queeny burst outughing as if Be just told her a good joke.


    “Me? Hung on up him?”


    She sneered and said, “Be, not all women in this world are like you. We don’t see a piece of trash we


    stumble on as a treasure.”


    After a pause, she continued, “If I were still not over him, I would have long be Mrs. Bissel. You


    wouldn’t even get a chance then.”


    Be froze on the spot.


    She didn’t expect that Queeny could still be so sharp-tongued at a time like this.


    Her eyes flickered. Then, she suddenly put her hands on her wheelchair.


    “The view over there is better. Let me take you there to have some fresh air.”


    After saying this, Be wheeled her toward the edge of the terrace.


    Queeny puckered her brows.


    She instinctively objected, “No need. I’m good staying here.”


    “Come on. I went therest time and saw a magnificent scene after the night fell. You can’t see theke


    clearly from here.”


    Without waiting for Queeny’s reply, Be quickly pushed her to the side of the terrace.


    Because the two were only whispering, the servants beside them didn’t hear what they were saying, let


    alone Felix, who was standing some distance away.


    Seeing that Be was taking Queeny somewhere else, E subconsciously opened her mouth in an


    attempt to talk her out of this.


    But the next second, Katy stepped forward and stopped her.


    E looked over her shoulder only to see Katy’s cold smile.


    “Miss Horton hasn’t objected yet. Why are you so anxious? They will just have a talk. Miss Collins can’t


    eat her alive anyway, can her?”


    E paused, then realized she had a point.


    Queeny was tough. Even if they got into a fight, Be wouldn’t be her match.


    Thus, E banished her worries and remained silent.


    Queeny, on the other hand, was also curious about what Be was ying at. Thus, though she


    declined her suggestion, she didn’t really stop her from pushing her wheelchair.


    In a moment, the two came to the edge of the terrace.


    The railings here were not very high, only reached the knees of a person.


    Overlooking the glintingke, Queeny asked, “What on earth do you want to say to me?”


    Be smiled. “So you’ve noticed. I brought you here because I want to talk to you in


    private.”
