That night, Maggie went to Bonnie’s room to comfort her. Bonnie threw herself into Maggie’s arms and moaned about being hated by everyone. She also talked about how much she suffered while growing up with adopted parents.
Maggie’s heart softened after all that. Even though Bonnie had made a mistake tonight, Maggie didn’t think much of it anymore.
It was Friday morning.
Leslie came to the house with a bouquet of red roses, but Bonnie hid in her room and refused to see him. It was Brandon who welcomed him into the house as the Silversteins and the Paynes had a good relationship with each other.
“Mr. Silverstein, my father and I discussed everything last night. I will break off the engagement with Queenie and get engaged to Bonnie right after,” Leslie announced expectantly.
“Good. That’s what we want as well.” Brandon nodded. He was beginning to realize that he and his wife couldn’t control how Bonnie behaved, so he wanted to help her get a good marriage as soon as possible.
Leslie couldn’t stop himself from heading upstairs to see Bonnie. He missed her too much.
The door to Bonnie’s room remained shut even though Leslie kept knocking for ages. It was Queenie who was disturbed by the incessant noise. She opened her door and looked at Leslie who was standing in front of the opposite room. “She doesn’t want to see you, so don’t bother knocking anymore.”
“What’s going on with Bonnie?” Leslie was at a loss. It was as if Bonnie had suddenly changed into a whole new person overnight. She didn’t care about him anymore and didn’t even want to see him.
Queenie was probably the only one who knew the reason why. Bonnie’s favorite pastime was to steal anything that Queenie wanted. If Queenie didn’t want it anymore, then Bonnie lost interest in it too. It was the same each time, regardless of whether it was an item or a man.
Right now, Bonnie was fantasizing about seducing Nigel!
Just then, Bonnie opened her door. She stood at the door all dolled up, and when she spotted Leslie, she felt a little turned off. “I told you not to come to my house ever again, so why did you still come?”
“Bonnie, check this out! Yesterday, you posted on your social media account saying you had your eye on this necklace, and I immediately asked my friend to procure it for you.” Leslie presented the gift and showed it to her.
Bonnie’s eyes lit up with evident delight, but she couldn’t accept the necklace without feeling awkward with Queenie around. So, she scoffed haughtily instead, “Did I ask you to buy it, smarty–pants?”
Queenie, standing at the side, watched their interactions in amusement. Indeed, Leslie deserved such treatment from Bonnie and should stew in his own juice.
Thus, with that thought in mind, she returned to her room, lay on her bed, took her phone, and sent a message to Nigel.
Young Master Nigel, I want to clarify whether you would be free tonight.‘
‘Yes, I have the time!‘
‘So, you will attend my wedding cancellation party, right?‘
‘Of course!‘
As she read his short yet straightforward reply, Queenie figured that Nigel was a friend indeed because he always lent a hand whenever she needed help.
Therefore, as she considered how he was always there for her, thick and thin, she completely regarded Nigel as her bosom buddy. She would treat him as a close friend as long as he didn’t despise her low social status,
Meanwhile, in Manson Group’s main office, Nigel looked at the text on his phone, and a trace of curiosity gleamed in his sharp eyes.
He would like to see how Queenie would introduce him tonight. He was twenty–eight years old, but he still exuded a rare aura of youthfulness, and he knew, based on experience, that he was good–looking. Coupled with his 1.86–meter statuesque physique, he looked charming when he smiled and solemn when he didn’t.
Apart from his family, no one had ever seen him smile. In fact, people who didn’t know him personally would always praise Nigel’s dignified and gentlemanly manner.
Despite that, he liked racing, playing video games, and collecting the world’s most expensive snacks. It was as if he was a child in a man’s body.
At some point, Leslie had left. It wasn’t until 4.00PM that Queenie departed her room looking rather glamorous. She wore a fashionable dress today and even went out of her way to work on her hair. Her long and thick hair draped over her shoulders with natural–looking curls at the end. She was already lovely with delicate facial features, to begin with. Hence, despite using light makeup, she looked ever so radiant and gorgeous.
When she pushed the door and walked out, Bonnie, who was standing on the opposite side, was completely startled. She froze for a few seconds and stared straight at Queenie, sizing her up.
She was checking out Queenie’s makeover and her dress. Queenie frowned in slight discomfort. “What are you looking at?”
“What else can I be looking at? Also, we have the same face, so what’s there for me to see?” Bonnie snorted indifferently, but a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes. That was because although they looked alike, Bonnie’s face somehow looked stiff and unnatural.
Queenie ignored her and went downstairs. As soon as she landed at the last step, she heard her mother’s voice by the entrance. It seemed that Maggie had returned home.
Meanwhile, Bonnie stewed as she stood in front of the mirror. Then, after a while, she started to remove the makeup she had just put on and stared at her bare face. As she scrutinized herself, she noticed that her skin was not as smooth and flawless as Queenie’s. So, she reopened her makeup kit and did her makeup meticulously.
She remembered the critical features of Queenie’s makeover, so when she redid her makeup, she followed in Queenie’s footsteps. She even curled her hair just like Queenie and chose a similar dress but with a different color.
Finally, after the vigorous makeover, Bonnie looked at her reflection in the mirror. Now, she looked like she was Queenie’s twin through and through. Only then did she raise her eyebrows in satisfaction. Nevertheless, there was a glint of resentment in her eyes.
Time passed, and it was already 5.00PM. In order not to get caught in traffic, they had come to an agreement to leave early.
“What is taking Bonnie so long?” Maggie asked curiously and then ordered the maid nearby to check up on her, “Rachel, remind Miss Bonnie that we’re short on time.”
Rachel, the Silverstein Family’s maid, rushed up the stairs and headed straight to Bonnie’s room. Not long after, Bonnie came downstairs. Queenie happened to be drinking water. When she saw Bonnie coming down the stairs, she almost spat the water out in shock. Why was Bonnie’s outfit precisely the same as hers?
Bonnie wasn’t wearing this dress earlier, and her previous makeup was heavy and thick. Yet now, she was wearing the same light makeup as Queenie and even applied the same lipstick color.
Maggie looked at her twin daughters in surprise as she regarded them. There was no doubt that she wouldn’t have been able to differentiate the two had she not raised Queenie herself!
Bonnie presented herself before Queenie in absolute confidence. Then, she proceeded to quip with false cheer, “Queenie, we look really alike!”
“Why are you copying me?” Queenie snapped with a hint of annoyance.
“What? Am I? Well, some twins have the same taste and preferences. So maybe we fall in that same category.” Bonnie retorted, deliberately pressing Queenie’s buttons.
Unfortunately for Bonnie, Queenie’could care less for this sister of hers as she merely rolled her eyes in exasperation and walked to the door. She and Maggie shared a ride while Bonnie and Brandon took another vehicle together.
On the way to the hotel, Queenie sent the hotel’s address to Nigel with a text, ‘Young Master Nigel, take your time. You can come after the banquet starts.‘
‘Are you on your way to the hotel now?‘ Nigel replied promptly.
‘Yes, we just left. Take your time!‘ Queenie planned to make his appearance the highlight of the night. Then, when others sympathized with her, she would magnificently announce that she had a better choice.
She didn’t even inform her parents about her plan. She figured that this would be a surprise for them later!
In the car in front of Queenie’s car, Bonnie looked troubled as she was entirely engrossed in her thoughts because she knew what Leslie wanted to do tonight. He wanted to call off his engagement with Queenie and propose to her.
Leslie had lost his original value since Queenie liked Nigel now. Moreover, Leslie paled in comparison to Nigel in terms of charisma and wealth, and they were not even in the same league.
Now, all Bonnie could think about was how to approach Nigel. She would not allow Leslie to hinder her plan.
