Furthermore, her future husband would surely be extremely wealthy too. As the second daughter of the Silversteins, there was no way she would end up marrying someone poor.
Bonnie saw the young women sitting near her showing off their bags, so she purposely took out the bag she just bought at the airport earlier, which was one of the latest models on the market. The group of young women immediately gave her looks of envy.
Their reactions bolstered Bonnie’s vanity to the fullest. She checked the landing time and smiled smugly as she thought about the house she would be getting tomorrow.
Back in the country, the police were already in place at the airport. The Silversteins were at the airport as well. They couldn’t wait to see Bonnie being apprehended by the police. Their hatred toward her ran too deep.
At the airport.
As soon as Bonnie got off the plane at about 7.00PM, she immediately gave Brandon a call as she was afraid that he would put the house under Queenie’s name instead.
“Yes, Bonnie?” Brandon answered the call.
“I just got off the plane, Dad. I’ll get a cab to take me home right now.”
“We came to the airport to pick you up, Bonnie. We’ll go home together.”
Bonnie was surprised. She didn’t think that the Silversteins would come and pick her up themselves. “Really? Where are you, Dad?” she exclaimed excitedly.
“We’re waiting at the arrival gate. Come on out!”
“Okay. I’ll be right there.” Bonnie started hurrying out with her suitcase in tow. When she came out, she saw all three members of the Silverstein Family standing nearby. She didn’t expect Queenie to be here too, and that soured her mood a little. Why is she here?
As Queenie took in the sight of the fake Bonnie dragging her suitcase over with a delighted expression, she had the urge to choke that woman herself. The family had come to the airport so that it would be convenient for them to work with the police to take the fake Bonnie into custody.
Bonnie had no idea what was about to happen as the police were dressed in plain clothes and were hidden among the crowd. Bonnie let go of her suitcase and rushed over to Brandon and Maggie to greet them warmly. “Mom, Dad.”
Maggie raised her hand and slapped Bonnie as soon as Bonnie was in front of her. Bonnie was dumbstruck. She stared at Maggie in disbelief. “Mom… why did you…”
“How dare you call me Mom, you shameless imposter? Who gave you the audacity to pretend to be my daughter, you shameless b*tch?” Maggie, who never cursed, was so furious today that she started cursing. She was trembling with rage, and Queenie stepped forward to hold her steady. “She’ll get what’s coming for her, Mom.”
“You’re not our daughter. You’re going to pay for what you’ve done.” Brandon was pale with anger as well as he glared at Bonnie with a cold, hostile expression.
Bonnie’s expression shifted at once. She clutched her face and took a step back, but at the same time, the police who had been hanging around near Brandon made their move. They came forward and handcuffed her hands behind her back.
“What… Let go! Who are you?” Scared witless, all the color drained from her face as she twisted around to take a look at the police.
“Nina Lindsay, we’re the police and you’re under arrest for fraud. You’ll need to come with us for further investigation.”
Queenie came forward and stared at the young woman who used to parade in front of her with a smug expression. Now, the very same woman had a petrified look on her face as she trembled with fear. Queenie had never felt as vindicated as she did now.
“Nina Lindsay, you pretended to be my younger sister and used her identity to bully me and step all over for me for the past year. Now, you’re finally going to pay the price for your actions.”
“Queenie, no… Q-Queenie, my sister, please! Please forgive me! I won’t do it again! I won’t ever do it again.” Nina almost begged on her knees in front of Queenie. Out of habit, she turned to Brandon and Maggie and continued screaming, “Mom, Dad, please let me off just this once!”
“You shut your mouth!” Brandon roared.
Maggie was equally furious as she fired back through gritted teeth, “You called us Mom and Dad for a year now but all you’ve been doing is leeching off of us. You’ve tarnished our youngest daughter’s reputation and you will pay for everything.”
Nina immediately started shaking her head. “I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein. I didn’t plan on posing as your daughter. It’s all Lisbeth’s fault! She tempted me into doing it. She even told me to get the surgery done so that I would look like your daughter. It’s all her! It has nothing to do with me.”
Right now, all Nina could think about was exonerating herself by putting all the blame on Lisbeth instead.
“You’re quite the spender, aren’t you? Ever since you moved in with us, you’ve spent almost two million in total. You’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison!” Queenie reminded Nina of what was in store for her.
True enough, as soon as Nina heard what Queenie said, she crumpled to the floor. Did I really spend that much of the Silversteins’ money? She had no idea how she managed to do that, but the amount she used was enough to count as high-value fraud.
She had enjoyed the status of being the Silversteins’ youngest daughter for a year, but in return, she had to spend the rest of her life behind bars.
All of a sudden, she was consumed by regret. She regretted everything she had done up till now. She would rather go back to her old life of being an escort than have her life ruined for good now.
Alas, what was done was done and she had no way of turning back time.
“Queenie.” A deep and attractive voice rang out. Nigel broke through the crowd and hurried over. He called Queenie half an hour ago and she told him that she was at the airport, so he came to look for her.
When Nina saw Nigel, she felt the urge to dig a hole to hide in. At this very moment, she felt as if she was nothing more than a dirty, despicable gutter rat. She couldn’t hold her head up in front of Nigel.
Nigel was looking at her like she was vermin—the scourge of society.
Nina kept her head lowered. She noticed the looks that the crowd was giving her and was so ashamed that she wished she could knock herself out so that she didn’t have to deal with the mortification.
“Let’s go!” The police officer barked at Nina before hauling her toward the exit. Nina was dragged to the police car just outside the airport. The grimness of the situation seemed to suck the air out of her lungs. She could already envision what the rest of her life would be like.
She would spend her days surrounded by cold metal. All the glory and splendor that she had dreamt of would no longer be a part of her life.
Soon, Nigel and Queenie came out hand-in-hand while Brandon held Maggie steady. At last, the Silversteins felt relieved as peace had been restored to the family.
The police car hadn’t left yet. Nina looked out of the window and saw the family coming out of the airport together.
Brandon and Maggie were also glaring at the young woman inside the police car. All they felt now was blistering rage.
Nina stared right back at them. They had showered her with care and affection for a year now. They would always greet her with smiles on their faces. Not a day went by without them expressing their concern for her and providing her with all the love she could possibly want. Yet right here, right now, they showed her nothing but fury and resentment.
Nina’s eyes flickered over to Queenie. As she stood there beside her parents and Nigel, it was almost as if she had a halo that cast a glow around her. She shone in such a way that perfectly contrasted against Nina’s vile, contemptible self.
Nina knew that she and Queenie’s lives had diverged to the extreme now. One had a glorious life in front of her, while the other was destined to remain in the gutter.
The police car drove off with Nina sandwiched between two police officers in the back seat. She was covered in designer clothing and had an expensive necklace around her neck, but all of that seemed to be a mockery now.
Her finery was a farce. Everything seemed to be jeering at her current predicament. She struggled against the cuffs, but the metal hurt as it pinched her skin. In the end, she closed her eyes in despair.
Back at Silverstein Residence, all traces of Nina had been removed from the house. The room she used had been emptied and ridden of all her possessions. Even the walls had been repainted. Thanks to Nina, Queenie had spent the past year avoiding this house and longing for a means of escape, but now, all she wanted to do was accompany her parents through this bleak period of their lives.
The family continued to worry about the missing daughter, and Queenie dearly wished that her real sister could return to them. She was willing to give all of the family’s wealth over to her real sister.
But where is she now? Will I ever get to see her again?
At the police station.
