Chapter 1018

Emmanuel couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind Queenie’s words.

“Manuel, do you know… what the cruelest thing in this world is?” she questioned Emmanuel as her life neared its

end.

Before Emmanuel could respond, she impatiently provided the answer. “It’s when I take it seriously, but you treat it

as a joke…”

The five top fighters halted their actions simultaneously, and their eyes were fixed on the couple in embrace.

He stood frozen, like a puppet made of wood.

He gazed at Queenie, who was muttering continuously. “Queenie, I… I don’t understand! I don’t understand what

you mean by this?”

“Do you… still want to pretend not to understand?” Queenie’s smile turned slightly mocking and bitter. “I have

always taken our marriage seriously… How can you treat it as a game? I’ve been waiting for you to return to Hero’s

Village… both of my ex-boyfriends were fake… I only brought them to provoke you after I found out you married

Mackenzie… Did you truly see me as a flirtatious woman, Manuel?”

Boom!

Emmanuel felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

The word “Manuel” from Queenie tore at his heart and lungs like madness!

A wave of excruciating pain surged through his body.

“Why? Why is this happening?!” Emmanuel’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Magnus and asked, “You knew

all along?”

Magnus adjusted his glasses and smiled while nodding. “Yes. I knew! I also knew that you are an emotionless man.”

Emmanuel clenched his fists tightly and wished to tear the man before him apart.

It was he who had used Queenie!

However, he still shouted, “Queenie, why did you do this? Couldn’t you have just told me directly? I knew nothing!”

“Why… should I have told you?”

Queenie’s smile held a trace of pettiness, and it was mixed with a woman’s jealousy. “When we were young, you

said… you were willing to marry me! If you treat that promise as a joke, why should I treat you well?”

Emmanuel was left speechless!

He was completely speechless!

He didn’t resent her petty nature; he only blamed himself for being too straightforward in the past!

He didn’t resent her petty nature; he only blamed himself for being too straightforward in the past!

He truly didn’t understand women!

“So, I said… the cruelest thing in this world is that I took our marriage seriously, but you treated it as a joke…”

Queenie closed her eyes with a malicious smile and slowly uttered her final words, “Manuel, if there is a next life… I

want to choose a better background so that I can openly express my love for you and make you willingly marry

me-”

“No! Queenie, don’t die. Listen to me!” Emmanuel pleaded desperately.

He still wanted to clarify some things with her, but she gradually closed her eyes.

His thoughts suddenly traveled back twenty years ago.

“Queenie, won’t you come along and make a home with me? Queenie, we could settle down and make some

history. Queenie, we could be so happy with a family… Queenie is an illegitimate child…”

At that time, the drama “Jewel in the Palace” was popular in Chanaea.

Due to her name, Queenie became the target of ridicule and mockery by the children in the village simply because

her name coincided with the prelude of the theme song of “Jewel in the Palace.”

Her mother, who was once daring and fearless in love, had actively pursued a man from outside, only to lose her

innocence and be abandoned. She then became the subject of ridicule!

Some even claimed that her mother returned to the village pregnant and married her father, so Queenie was

mocked as an illegitimate from the moment she was born.

She felt quite insecure during her childhood because of her background!

“Queenie, listen to me. Never actively pursue a man in the future! Otherwise, you will regret it!”

Her mother always admonished Queenie like this.

Emmanuel had also heard it when he was young, but he didn’t understand its meaning, and with his personality, he

didn’t gossip about such matters.

Due to her beauty, all the boys of the same age in the village revolved around Queenie.

But when they played house, Queenie chose no one but Emmanuel, the introverted boy who had never mocked

her, as her husband!

“Queenie, are you willing to marry Emmanuel? No matter how poor or sick you may become in the future. Will you

stand by him through thick and thin?”
