Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 I Have Something to Tell You

Gradually, Benedict recovered and got better. Coincidentally, it was also his eightieth birthday, and the Gardner Family wanted to hold a proper celebration.

Initially, they thought that Benedict’s body wouldn’t hold out this year, but who would have guessed that he recovered well after the surgery and didn’t even seem uncomfortable?

Still, out of consideration for his health, the Gardner Family didn’t organize such a grand birthday party as they only invited some influential people over for a simple celebration. As the Gradners’ benefactress, Nicole’s name was naturally on the invitation list.

However, the Gardners were not expecting Queenie to show up brazenly, too. In addition, she didn’t seem the least awkward as she greeted everyone at the party.

Colton narrowed his eyes at her and was clearly unhappy at the sight of her. Despite his evident displeasure, his dark pupils seemed like a dark puddle that was calm and deep.

He pursed his lips without a word, but the people nearby could clearly sense the tension in the air.

Halfway through the party, Queenie finally found her way to him.

“Colton.” She lifted her eyes, which were gleaming pitifully.

Colton’s face remained stone cold as he stared at the woman before him. The longer he looked at her, the harder it was to suppress the flash of derision that gleamed in his eyes.

Although he hadn’t paid any particular attention to Queenie, he roughly knew that this woman went to work for the Kohlbergs after leaving Gardner Corporation. Nevertheless, he had no idea what scheme she was planning when she showed up at the Gardner Residence.

He looked away from the woman and asked nonchalantly, “What?”

An aggrieved and hurt look appeared on her face at his indifference, and she reached out to tug at his sleeve.
