Chapter 1516
It was almost 11.00PM when a grumpy Bonnie finally deigned to return home. The resentment was
even more evident in Bonnie’s expression when she looked at Queenie sitting on the couch.
Queenie said, “Did you know that Leslie had a car accident tonight?”
“What?!” Bonnie shrieked in shock. “What car accident? Where?”
“Outside the restaurant. You shook off his hand and ran across the street. He chased after you and was
hit by a car,” Queenie said.
Bonnie was taken aback for a few seconds. Then, she remembered that only a few seconds were left
on the green light when she crossed the street, but she didn’t see if Leslie had caught up with
her. She felt somewhat guilty for a moment, but on second thought, she felt that Leslie deserved it. She
never asked him to chase after now, did she?
“He didn’t die. So, what’s the fuss?” Bonnie blurted indifferently.
At this moment, Maggie came down the stairs. Bonnie’s expression changed immediately, and she
cried as if she got straight into her character, “Oh my goodness! Is Leslie alright? It’s all my fault. He
wouldn’t have had an accident if it weren’t for me.”
Queenie frowned in disgust when she watched Bonnie acting immediately as soon as Maggie showed
up. “Cut the
“Cut the crap,
will you?!”
Maggie happened to hear what Bonnie said. She rushed downstairs and assured her, “Bonnie, it’s not
your fault. Leslie wasn’t seriously injured, fortunately. He just got a few scrapes, that’s all.”
“Mom, I’m sorry. I’ve disgraced you today. Did the Paynes give you a hard time?” Bonnie embraced
Maggie, and her eyes turned red instantly.
Queenie’s jaw dropped when she witnessed the scene. Even an actress would not be able to cry as
fast as she could. Despite being used to such a thing, she still felt agitated and resentful at the fact that
her parents had never seen past Bonnie’s façade.
“Never mind us, but you have to break up with Leslie. But, Bonnie, don’t worry. Your dad and I will find
a better husband for you,” Maggie avowed.
Bonnie nodded timidly. “Okay.”
“Go and take a shower. I’ll ask Courtney to make sandwiches for you.”
“No, I don’t want them. Her sandwiches are not delicious at all. But, mom, I want to eat your
sandwiches,” Bonnie pouted and even grimaced in disgust even though Courtney was standing next to
them.
Courtney lowered her head sadly. She had been cooking for over a decade and took pride in her
cooking skills. Bonnie’s belittling remarks had truly hurt her.
“Courtney’s food is very delicious. It doesn’t suit your taste, that’s all,” Queenie rebuked.
“Delicious? Blargh! Mom, we should fire her and hire a new chef. I’ve been eating the same dishes.
every day. I’ve had enough of it!” Bonnie sneered with disdain.
Maggie hurriedly coaxed, “Shush. Alright now, that’s enough out of you. Go and take a shower. I’ll
make the sandwiches.”
