Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Paying a Visit

Queenie had been staying at the hospital for two days now. Even though there was nothing wrong with her physically, the mere thought of her being surrounded by onlookers after what had happened the other night was enough to make her want to squeeze into a dark hole in some inconspicuous corner.

Because of the influence Gardner Corporation had, the leaders from Lumore, Goldwick and the cities in between had been amongst the attendees of the banquet. Colton might have prevented the incident from getting to the media, but she still couldn’t hide the fact that she made a fool of herself in front of the important figures in the business world.

They obviously wouldn’t have said anything to her face, but she was sure that they were criticizing her behind her back.

Her tears began to well up at the thought of that.

With her jaw clenched, she threw herself into Lydia’s arms and sobbed uncontrollably. “Mom! I have completely embarrassed myself! I can’t show my face anymore!”

Lydia’s heart ached as she saw Queenie crying in her arms. So, she quickly tried to console her.

“It is fine. Everyone knows you were framed! Furthermore, nothing happened between you and Joseph, right? It will all be okay!”

At that moment, Queenie’s eyes were already swollen and tender from the waterworks. She couldn’t stop the sobs that were making her tremble all over. Out of her fear of criticism, she would never have the guts to take a step out of the house now.

She hated—no—despised Nicole. She never imagined Nicole to be such a vicious woman who would go to such lengths to ruin her!

Just as the mother-and-daughter duo conversed, a sudden knock on the door brought their conversation to a halt.

Queenie quickly wiped the pathetic expression off her face and turned to look at Lydia.

As Queenie’s mother, Lydia quickly understood what her daughter wanted from her gaze alone. “Shush, now,” she gently sighed. “I’ll even the score for you. Good girl. Don’t cry anymore.”

As soon as she was done with her sentence, she got up from her seat and in a slightly raised volume, she gave permission to the visitor to enter the ward.

Joseph, dressed in casual clothes, then entered the room. For someone who was entangled in the same gossip as Queenie, he looked especially well and vibrant.
