Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1536

Not a Petty Thief

Be that as it may, Nigel had gotten up early this morning just for her sake.

Queenie felt a surge of warmth gushing through her heart, and she suddenly understood the feeling of truly being considered important by another person.

“Let’s have breakfast together, then I’ll send you home.” After saying that, he dialed a number on his phone. “Please deliver breakfast to the room.”

Not long afterward, a member of the staff brought in a hearty spread of breakfast. The food was served on the table in front of a floor-to-ceiling window so that they could enjoy their breakfast while admiring the morning sun and the sea view outside the window.

As soon as Queenie finished eating breakfast with Nigel, her phone rang shrilly. It was a phone call from her mother.

“Hello, Mom.”

“Queenie, did Leslie send you four pieces of jewelry yesterday? Where did you place the jewelry before you left the house yesterday? Bonnie claims that there are only three pieces of jewelry left. Did you misplace the other piece of jewelry somewhere else?”

“Mom, let’s talk about this when I get home. I’m on my way home now.”

“Alright then, please come back as soon as possible! Bonnie has already called the police, claiming that Courtney stole the jewelry.”

“Have the police arrived?’

“Not yet. They said they will come at 10.00 AM. Come back quickly!”

After ending the phone call with her mother, a look of annoyance flashed across her eyes. Just how much trouble does Bonnie intend to cause for the family? Must she cause such a huge scandal so that the entire world knows about our dirty laundry? Our parents have always kept a low profile and taught me not to be pretentious. Look at things now… If somebody posts about this incident on the Internet, it will surely affect our family business. It will be even more difficult to clean up this mess if that happens.
