Chapter 558 Put on a Show
Queenie listened to Paula’s threats, her anger rising. If Jeff couldn’t get a divorce, then all her mother’s years of waiting would be for nothing. She couldn’t let Jeff keep betraying her mother. “Fine! I’ll hold back a little longer.”
Queenie opened the door, watching Eric escort a feeble Paula inside.
She made a show of asking, “Mom, Eric, if this house gets. auctioned off, where will we live?”
She addressed Paula as “Mom” again, knowing she could still use Eric for her purposes.
Paula didn’t bother with the pretense anymore, laughing. mockingly.

“Oh, Queenie, calling me ‘Mom‘ again? Didn’t you just call me ‘Mrs. Paula Marsh‘ a moment ago? Don’t call me ‘Mom‘–you’re not my real daughter, after all. Go find that lowly mother of
yours.
“Calling me ‘Mom‘ just makes me sick.”
After all, her mother really was lowly.
A flash of murderous intent crossed Queenie’s eyes. How dare she insult her mother again?

“Mom, you must have been too upsel carlier and imagined. things. How could I ever call you ‘Mrs. Paula Marsh‘? You raised me; you’ll always be my mother.”
Queenie glanced at Eric. This foolish guy still had his uses; she’d deal with him later.
Tears started streaming down Paula’s face. This was the same act she’d always used to manipulate Queenie against Diana, just to pave her way to marry Steven and establish herself as the only “daughter” of the Marsh family once Diana was gone.
Well, Queenie could just wait. The day her film premiered would be the day she’d watch her fall from grace.
Paula smiled, saying, “It doesn’t matter. Even though you’re not my biological daughter, I raised you like one, Queenie. I’ve done right by you.”
Eric chimed in. “Mom, how could you say that about Queenie? She’s our only sister, your only daughter.”
But in his heart, guilt churned. He thought, “Diana, I’m so sorry. Once this is over, I’ll go beg for your forgiveness.”
Queenie, noticing Eric’s naivety, felt pleased. Eric was so easily swayed to her side.
She spoke with a hint of sadness. “Eric, don’t say that. Mom’s just been very upset about the company. Once she feels better, she won’t talk like this.”
