Chapter 1504
Bonnie glared at Queenie with envy and hatred, but when she looked at Nigel, she immediately turned gentle, shy, and timid. This
was her usual tactic when she was with someone she admired. She would pretend to be a mild-mannered damsel in distress who
needed protection.
Leslie noticed that Bonnie's favorite dish, grilled shrimp, was placed far away from her. So, he took the initiative to place two
shrimps on Bonnie's plate. “Bonnie, here. Have sshrimps.”
Bonnie's pretty face was painted with annoyance as she glared at the shrimp on her plate with disgust. “Don’t you know that I'm
allergic to shrimp?!” With that, she swept the shrimp aside and refused to pay attention to it.
Leslie was shocked. Only a few days ago, Bonnie specially requested the grilled shrimp and told

him it was delicious.
Queenie watched their interaction in gleeful satisfaction. She secretly rejoiced when she saw Leslie being disliked and hated by
Bonnie in various ways. There was no doubt in her heart that she genuinely thought that he deserved every bit of it.
“Bonnie, Leslie is being nice to you!” Keira couldn't help but speak up for Leslie.
“] don’t need anyone to be nice to me!” Bonnie grumbled disrespectfully. The expressions of the members of the Payne Family
darkened at her words. Even Brandon reprimanded her less-than- stellar demeanor sternly, “Bonnie! Watch your words!”
Bonnie bit down on her lips and remained silent.
At this moment, Nigel brought a piece of shrimp to Queenie. “Do you like it?”
“Yes! | like it very much.” With that, Queenie didn’t hesitate to bite down on the shrimp and enjoyed the shrimp with relish. “One
more, please.”
Nigel took another piece of shrimp, but instead of placing it on her plate, he fed it to her. Queenie was taken aback by his daring at
first, but she quickly composed herself as she smiled, opened her mouth, and bit it.
They openly displayed their affection in front of the people present.
Bonnie could feel the resentment burning inside her. Queenie was doing this on purpose.
Maggie and Brandon exchanged glances at the couple’s behavior but said nothing in the end. In their minds, Queenie had always
been carefree and forthright, so they did not find her current behavior odd or inappropriate at all.

“Leslie, right? Allowto give you a toast.” Nigel suddenly raised his glass to Leslie.
Despite the annoyance and resentment bubbling in Leslie's veins, he had to force a smile and raise his glass reluctantly due to his
fear of Nigel's wealth and affluent background. “Mr. Manson, cheers.”
“Before drinking this glass of wine, | want to thank you for giving Queenie to me,” Nigel narrowed his eyes and said.
Leslie sighed and lamented, “Well, | suppose we're not meant to be together.”
After Nigel took a sip of the wine, he extended his arm and wrapped it around Queenie’s shoulders. Queenie stiffened in shock and
looked up at Nigel beside her.
Nigel looked back at her, and their eyes met. Then, finally, he called out her nsoftly, “Queenie, | have something to tell you.”
Queenie blinked curiously, looking forward to what he would say to spice things up.
