Chapter 236 Stay
Nicole frowned unpleasantly when she heard what Queenie said.
Anna had heard a little about the Anderson Family’s affair. Moreover, she could feel Nicole’s displeasure.
As Nicole had hired someone from Triton Studio and designed a beautiful evening gown for Wendy, Anna naturally favored Nicole.
Presently, Anna waved her hand. “Queenie, you can leave now. Although you didn’t mean it, you wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if Wendy really wore the fake jewelry.”
Queenie was quite pale then. She opened her mouth and tried to explain, but her throat felt so hoarse that she couldn’t speak.
She was finished. Initially, she wanted to gain favor from Anna. However, Queenie had now messed up. Anna might have no goodwill toward Queenie after this incident.
Looking at the pale Queenie, Nicole grinned and said sarcastically, “Why, are you reluctant to leave? How about you stay here and explain to Mr. Freeman on how you found that imposter?”
As Queenie heard Nicole’s voice, her thoughts returned to her. She turned her head to look at everyone. Now, she looked like a clown in a circus.
I will end up further shaming myself if I stay here.
Queenie bit her lip. She had no choice but to leave now.
After Queenie left, Anna’s expression became slightly better. She looked at Nicole with apprehension as she murmured, “Nicole, it is thanks to you and Mr. Freeman that we didn’t mess up.”
Wendy stayed by the side and didn’t speak until Queenie left.
“Kevin Carter is too evil! How dare he rent us a counterfeit product? If I really wear it, I will be a laughingstock for the rest of my life!”
When Wendy spoke, tears welled in her eyes and she looked rather pitiful.
Anna took Wendy’s hand. Patting it, she comforted her daughter, “It won’t happen anymore. Besides, Mr. Freeman now brought us the genuine jewelry from Triton Studio.”
Looking at Wendy’s red eyes, Nicole knew the girl was angry, so she calmly comforted, “Wendy, it’s over. Mr. Freeman won’t make any mistakes; you can rest assured.”
Todd nodded along. “Yes, Miss Gardner. The jewelry from Triton Studio is with me. Your eighteenth birthday party will definitely be lively.”
With Nicole’s words, Wendy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She sniffed and nodded.
Todd and Anna then discussed some jewelry-related matters. After the discussion, it was almost 12.00PM. Todd politely declined Anna’s invitation to have lunch and left with the suitcase.
When Edith was coming down to cook, she took Hayden along too as she saw most people had left.
When Anna saw Hayden, the expression on her face subsided and changed into a smile.
“Grandma, I missed you so much!”
Hayden threw himself into Anna’s arms, a smile appearing on his tender cheeks as he hugged and greeted her.
Anna’s heart softened as she heard Hayden’s call. After she responded, she pulled Hayden into her embrace.
“Hayden, it’s been such a long time! I miss you too.”
Although Hayden and Colton did not conduct a DNA paternity test yet, Anna had already determined that Hayden was Colton’s son.
They can’t look this similar if they’re not related!
Anna and Hayden looked happy together.
In the end, Anna asked Nicole to stay for lunch.
“You and Hayden should have a meal with us. Richard will arrive in the afternoon. Then, he can help Hayden and Colton.”
As Hayden was here, Anna didn’t make it too clear.
However, Nicole nodded understandingly. This was the purpose of her coming here.
