I reached out and opened the door. When she saw me, the woman was obviously startled. Perhaps she did not expect me to be here.
I was quite familiar with her eyes.
With my thin lips pursed lightly, I smirked and approached her step by step. "Queenie, I've caught you."
I was very confident. I walked up to the woman and quickly tore off her mask, revealing the surprised face hidden under it.
"Queenie, is it really you?!" Nicky's tone was one of surprise. She did not expect Queenie to have really done it.
Queenie looked unwilling after being
caught.
Nicky approached Queenie. Her gaze was intolerant but more so puzzled. "You should have found a job and stabilized your situation after Wanda didn't hold you accountable. How could you retaliate against Wanda? She has already been merciful enough toward you."
"Was she being merciful to me by not holding me accountable?" Queenie suddenly laughed. Her laugh was helpless, and she got even angrier. After her burst of laughter, her scarlet eyes faced me. "How could I have been reduced to what I am now if she hadn't held me accountable?!"
We did not notice it just now, but now that she brought it up, I took a serious look at her. Her face was pale and haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes were no longer as clear as they used to be.
Instead, they were angry and dissatisfied.
I did not understand what she meant at all. "Queenie, what do you mean by that?"
