Queeny knew that she was not a good-natured person.
She tolerated Bella's provocation many times.
Earlier on the golf course, Bella deliberately threw water in Queeny's face, in response, Queeny slapped Bella in the face.
So overall, Bella didn't gain the upper hand.
However, Bella was really hard to deal with, and Queeny was at the end of her patience.
She hated such trifles and female intrigue.
Although she had the skills to cope with the situation, she was tired, and in no mood for it.
So she thought it was time to give Bella a head-on blow and tell her not to make waves again.
The thought of no one bothering her anymore made her feel better.
Just then, a familiar figure suddenly speared outside the window.
"Queeny, what are you looking at?"
Queeny froze for a moment and came back to earth.
Her eyes slowly began to focus on Irvin outside the window, who was smiling at her with his hands behind his back.
Her brow rose in surprise, "What brings you here?"
"I'm bored at home, so I came over."
He looked around as he spoke. Then he turned to ask her, "Take a walk with me?"
Queeny thought about it, then nodded.
She and Irvin knew each other very well. Four and a half years ago, she got along well with Felix's friends when they were together.
Irvin was the heir to the Kaye Group and was high in favor of his family since childhood. He was known as a nobleman in the area.
His family not only did not object to his association with Felix, but also approved of it.
So he came to visit Felix almost every day. In a way, they were close friends.
Irvin was not a nuisance to Queeny. After going out, Queeny followed Irvin slowly along the garden gravel path.
Irvin asked, "Have you cleared things up between you and Felix?"
Queeny froze.
She didn't expect him to mention this.
With a faint smile, she said, "I have nothing to talk with him."
Irvin's mood darkened.
After a while, he sighed, "You know him well. He's straightforward sometimes. He just wouldn't admit it, but he really loves you. I know he did something wrong, but nothing could purge the guilt from his mind in the four years. We all see it clearly. Now, he wants you to stay here, which means that he still cares about you. Queeny, forget about the past, and try to move on."
Queeny looked ahead. The golden sun shining on the plants in the corridor, and the plants cast their shadow over the ground.
She said faintly, "You told me he felt guilty, but why didn't he bail me out when I was in jail?"
Irvin paused.
He blurted out subconsciously, "But you..."
"I didn't kill that woman, you know that."
Then she turned to look at him. Her eyes were as clear as a lake, reflecting Irvin's image clearly.
