Chapter 1496
As soon as she finished speaking, Maggie and Brandon were thrilled, while the members of the Payne Family were dismayed. Bonnie was so enraged that her face twisted into a hateful scowl, and she turned to glare at Queenie. Why was Queenie so eager to pair her and Leslie up?
“We’re here to call off your engagement with Leslie. It’s not my engagement party,” Bonnie rebuked directly and looked a little upset. “How can I get engaged with Leslie right after you call off the engagement with him?”
“Bonnie, you and Leslie love each other. Since we are all here tonight, let’s discuss your engagement with Leslie right away!” Brandon said to Bonnie. After all, Leslie and Bonnie had done the deed, so he hoped Leslie
would be responsible and marry Bonnie.
“We don’t have any objections as long as Leslie likes Bonnie,” concluded Leslie’s father.
Brandon had only two daughters, each of whom would inherit half of their family’s massive assets and wealth. In that case, no matter who Leslie married, he would be able to get half of the Silverstein Family’s assets in the future, which was a great advantage for them.
Queenie curled her lips into a sweet smile even though her following words were anything but honeyed. “Mrs. Payne, thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, Leslie and I are not destined to be together, but I already have someone I like, so I’m also very eager to call off the engagement.”
The members of the Payne Family were stupefied. As far as they knew, Queenie once barged into the hotel room to catch Leslie cheating on her red–handed. The incident was blown up so terribly that it even tarnished Leslie’s reputation a little. So, they assumed Queenie would pester Leslie and insist on marrying him.
However, they were caught off guard by Queenie’s remarks and were dumbfounded for a few seconds. Keira even stammered awkwardly, “O–Oh! I–Is that so? You like someone else!“
