Chapter 257 Slap
The Gardner Corporation terminated all cooperation with Queenie that night.
It was obvious from this piece of news that the Gardners were kicking Queenie out of the game. And as for her position as Colton’s fiancée? Everyone already knew where this was going.
Not only that, she didn’t even receive the invitation to the celebration banquet of Wendy’s 18th birthday.
As soon as William received the news, he hurried home and immediately slapped Queenie across her face when he saw her.
“You ungrateful child! What the hell did you do?! Why is the Gardner Family terminating their relationship with you?”
Queenie was caught off-guard by the slap, and her eyes immediately turned red. She only covered her cheek without giving a reaction for a long minute.
Still in the climax of his exasperation, William didn’t register Queenie’s pitiful appearance and he roared even louder at her, “Why are you so useless that you can’t even hold a man down? I wouldn’t have cut off my relationship with Nicole if it wasn’t because you and your mother kept inciting me to!”
Queenie never thought that her father would have such thoughts, and she growled through gritted teeth, “Dad, Nicole is the reason Colton wanted to annul the engagement with me! It is her; it is all because of her! You didn’t even try to understand things before you hit me!”
Queenie had never been hit by William throughout the years she was raised. Hence, the slap seemed to hurt emotionally as much as it hurt her physically.
Seeing William acting like this, Lydia immediately felt upset as she went to support Queenie. “Have you gone crazy, William Anderson?! Do you think we could have lived such a stable life all these years if it wasn’t for Queenie?!”
William finally calmed down as he looked at the mother-daughter duo in front of him. In fact, the reason why he was so angry was because a previous creditor had gone to him and made him lose face in front of everyone else. That was why he had stomped his way home in a fit of fury.
He did feel somewhat guilty looking at his daughter’s aggrieved face, but as prideful as he was, William refused to concede.
He only barked, “Just what the hell is going on?!”
Lydia proceeded to explain the whole story about how Nicole was a shameless woman who wanted to steal Colton from Queenie.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
