Chapter 67 Caught in the Act

Meanwhile, Lydia rushed to the room and opened the door, only to catch the two intimately snuggling against each other. Immediately, she opened up the windows and the door to disperse the scent in the air. Right when she did so, the reporters caught up and aggressively photographed the two on the bed. However, Queenie and Joseph were so narcotized that they didn’t even notice the others.

Hasty, Lydia wanted to stop Queenie, but the latter, out of her mind, was tightly groping Joseph as she continued grinding on him.

“Queenie, Queenie!” Lydia yelled, but to no avail. She then grabbed a bottle of water and splashed it onto Queenie’s face, and thanks to the chilliness of the water, Queenie was able to regain consciousness.

At once, she opened her eyes and saw the events happening around her. Catching the reporters by the door, she quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself, shrieking, “Ahh!”

Nevertheless, Joseph was still under the effects of the drug. Watching as Queenie was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and wanted to subdue her with his body, but Lydia swiftly stopped him and shielded Queenie behind her.

Despite this, the drug’s effect was so strong that the ardor in Joseph’s eyes still persisted. Without a care in mind, he went over to tug Queenie back to bed. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Although Queenie’s zeal had yet to wane, with so many people on the spot, including the salivating reporters, she was overwrought. Like a miserable victim, she held onto her mother and screamed at Joseph, “Unhand me, you monster! Let go of me!”

At that moment, Colton squeezed through the crowd and entered the room, only to see the mess of a scene. He was visibly irritated. Squinting his eyes, he wordlessly kicked Joseph out of the room.

Joseph fell to the ground, and a splash of water followingly hit his face, to which he finally came to his senses. He raised his head and saw the group of reporters as well as a bitterly scowling Colton. He instantly grew agitated. What on earth was I doing?

“Colton, listen to me. I really didn’t cheat on you. I was fixing my makeup in my room, and all of a sudden, someone knocked me out and carried me here.” Looking at Colton’s hostile face, Queenie quickly went up to explain. She reached out to grab Colton, but the man took a step back and evaded her hand. Awkwardly grasping the air, she gritted her teeth as her eyes glistened with tears. She then sniffled and pulled a woeful look. “Please believe me, Colton. I was drugged! I don’t even know how I turned out this way!”

Despite that, Colton remained expressionless, but given that Queenie was still his supposed fiancée, he couldn’t just stand idly by and watch.

“That’s right, President Gardner. Queenie has been with you for five years. She’s not such a person. You know that too, don’t you?” Lydia speedily backed her up. If they were to lose the Gardner Family as their backbone, the Andersons would have nothing to live on.

Eventually, there were some changes on Colton’s face. He looked down at the miserable Queenie. With a face feigning not a hint of sympathy, he coldly stated, “I’ll look into this. We’ll talk again once the result comes out.”

Seeing as Colton was willing to believe in her words, Queenie, relieved, loosened herself and smilingly replied, “Thank you for believing in me, Colton.”

Yet, the man remained emotionless. “I don’t believe you. I’m only doing this because you’re carrying the title of my fiancée.” If Queenie was truly cheating on him, the Gardner Family would also be turned into a joke for a period of time.

With that, Queenie’s face paled as her collars-gripping hands greatly tightened, her knuckles turning white from the grip. As her lips trembled, tears profusely gushed out of her eyes.
