Chapter 1556 Possessive Desire
Queenie appeared to have dressed up specifically for tonight’s event. Could she possibly have known that her father would attend the banquet with Bonnie? That had to be the case and Queenie was here to embarrass her intentionally. How evil of her!
Meanwhile, Lina took advantage of the chance to approach Nigel and greeted him, “Hi, Nigel, it’s nice to see you again.”
Nigel responded with a slight nod before turning his head to search for Queenie. At that moment, two young men stood next to her, and they were Brandon’s friends’ sons. While they were going around greeting the various guests, they happened to notice Queenie. They didn’t miss the opportunity to chat with her, and she couldn’t be impolite to them because her father was friends with their parents.
Nigel happened to catch sight of that scene and an instantaneous surge of possessive desire swept through his chest. Contrarily, Lina attempted to buy him a drink by calling the waiter and preparing to pass him a glass of wine.
However, just as she took the wineglass in her hand, Nigel was nowhere to be found.
“Nigel, let’s have a—” She looked down at her red wine glass in shame as she watched him leave without saying anything. A flame of resentment flared in her eyes as she caught sight of the girl whom he was approaching. It turned out that the girl he was walking toward was Queenie, and the moment he was close enough to her, the first thing he did was give her a warm embrace around the waist.
“Your friends, Queenie?” Nigel inquired naturally.
Queenie was slightly embarrassed by his affectionate embrace. Then, she introduced him to the two men but barely knew their last names.
“My girlfriend and I have to greet a few elders now. Please excuse us.” Nigel excused himself from the two young men and walked away with her in his arms.
“My dad is over there. Do you want to say hello?” she asked him.
He already knew Brandon was here, so he nodded. “Of course.”
Brandon was conversing with his friends when he suddenly noticed Nigel and beamed with excitement. “You’re here, Nigel,” he exclaimed.
Nigel greeted, “Hello, Mr. Silverstein.”
Since Nigel had rarely socialized with Brandon’s group of friends, many of them were unfamiliar with him. In addition, he maintained a low profile, and no one appeared to have heard of him.
