“Mom, are you worried about Queenie? I’m worried about her too, but none of my calls are getting

through. Bonnie came downstairs and hugged Maggie. “It’s all my fault. She ran away from home

because of me.”

“It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. I’ll get your father to look for her.” Maggie patted Bonnie on the

hand affectionately.

“Mom, if it means Queenie will come back, I can just move back in with my adopted parents! Queenie

won’t be happy if I stay here in this house.” Bonnie looked as if she were wallowing in guilt.

“Oh, you silly child. Don’t say such ridiculous things. Both your father and I consider you our most

precious baby. We spent two decades looking for you, and we’re not going to let you leave us again.”

Maggie hugged Bonnie. Moments ago, she had been worried about Queenie, but right now, the only

one she cared about was Bonnie.

Bonnie smirked smugly. She would be the happiest person alive if Queenie never came back!

It’d be even better if she died while out there. That way, the entire Silverstein Family’s fortune will be

mine. Just then, Bonnie’s phone started ringing.

She checked to see that it was Leslie calling, so she happily said to Maggie, “Mom, give me a minute to

answer this.”

Bonnie walked out into the garden before answering. “Have you reached, Leslie?”

she asked sweetly. “I’m almost there. I’ll take you to a nice restaurant later.”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting,” Bonnie gushed. Her life now revolved around indulging in all her desires. She

could eat, drink, and shop to her heart’s content.

Life couldn’t get any better than this for her. She was even more thrilled that she didn’t have to see

Queenie around the house anymore.

Soon, the day came to an end, and it was time to get off work.

Queenie had been standing for half of her shift and had to take in a lot of new information for the other

half. At last, it was 6.00PM, and everyone started getting off work. Some went home, while others had

dates that night. She was the only one left sitting in the staff lounge, and it suddenly hit her that she

had nowhere to go.

She had neither the money to buy herself a meal nor pay for a night at a motel; she had no single cent

on her. She had never felt this lost and helpless before.

Although her parents would come and get her if she called home, she just couldn’t bring herself to

make the call.

Her other option was to call a friend, but she was down in the dumps right now and didn’t want to

trouble any of her friends. Well, perhaps she was just being stubborn! She wanted to prove that she

could face all obstacles in life by herself.

Queenie couldn’t get in touch with Nigel either. She didn’t know where he was or where his house was.

After recalling how kind he had been to her so far, she didn’t feel like troubling him any further.

She looked around the empty staff lounge. I guess I can just stay here for the night! The hotel will

provide breakfast tomorrow morning, and I can think about the rest after work tomorrow!
