Queenie couldnât help but feel uneasy. She thought, âDoes that old witch Lily know that Iâm the mistress? And if so, does she know other things too?â
She couldnât believe she had gotten herself into such an impossible situation.
Looking at Jeff, who was slumped in defeat, her eyes turned cold. âDad, treat my mother well from now on. Youâre not allowed to hit her again. Do you have any idea how much sheâs suffered for you all these years?
âYou know full well how many business deals she pulled in with Markâs help. Without Mark, do you think your company would have gotten this big with just Paulaâs support?â
âBut my company is already gone,â Jeff muttered.
He wasnât even sure when exactly he had handed the company back to Paula.
During that period, he had been in a terrible state, constantly drifting through life in a daze, plagued by hallucinations.
Even now, he would wake up in the middle of the night with an eerie feeling that someone was watching him from the side of the

That boneâchilling sensation left him scared out of his wits.
Jeff sighed heavily, looking at Queenie with a serious expression. âQueenie, given how far things have gone, you need to make a decisive move. I donât know whoâs supporting you from the shadows, but I know they want to bring Steven down. But Steven loves you. Marrying him is your best shot at happiness.
âWhatâs so good about that illegitimate son? After all youâve done for him, does he even understand your heart?â
Queenie pressed her lips together, remaining silent. She knew she couldnât rely on anyone. She had to depend on herself.
But the deed was done, and she would never regret it.
However, Paulaâs behavior was perplexing. Queenieâs eyes turned icy. âI suspect tonightâs events were a scheme planned by Paula and Lily together.â
Jeff furrowed his brow, his face darkening with anger. Paula had lost everything. Even the Barnes family estate had been sold off.
Thinking carefully, Jeff muttered, âItâs possible. Now that she has nothing, she knows youâre my biological daughter, she knows about my relationship with your mother, and she knows about the deceitful marriage. Given her strongâwilled nature, sheâs definitely plotting to get back at us.â
A fierce murderous intent flickered in Queenieâs eyes, and she

urged her father, âDad, for the sake of our familyâs happiness, Paula needs to be taken care of. Sheâs like a leech that wonât let go. I never want to go through something like tonight again.
âIt was utterly humiliating. Iâve worked so hard just to escape the stigma of being a bastard, but tonightâs incident exposed me completely.â
Growing more agitated, Queenie shouted, âAll my efforts were for nothing! Everything Iâve worked for over the years has gone to waste, donât you get it? And now, with your divorce being public, Iâm even more of a bastard in everyoneâs eyes. All those years of effort have been wasted!â
Queenie was devastated, collapsing to the ground in tears.
Watching his daughter in such pain, Jeff felt utterly defeated as well.
His voice was hoarse as he spoke, âQueenie, donât be too upset. Now that your mother and I are officially married, the four of us can be a proper family. When Gale comes back, things will be easier for you. Youâre becoming stronger every day. As long as you have money and power, no one will dare call you a bastard.â
Queenie understood this logic, too.
But she didnât want the truth about her background exposed so
soon.
At the very least, she wanted to wait until she achieved success. Once she had reached the top, all these scandals would be

Suddenly, Queenie stood up, remembering Paulaâs harsh words. from earlier. She quickly pulled out her phone and checked the trending news.
