Chapter 491 I’m Your Sister-In-Law
Seeing how hesitant Queenie looked, Anna let out a sneer and looked at her with a hint of mockery on her face. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you say just now that you’d put off the wedding for my sake? Are you gonna say you can’t do it now?”
Queenie’s heart clenched when she heard that Anna was starting to get displeased. She quickly explained, “That’s not the case, Mrs. Gardner. After all, it’s Colton’s wedding that we’re talking about.
I think he’ll be happier if you’re able to attend it. But now the invitations have been sent out. It’s okay to postpone the wedding for a few days, but if the wedding is postponed for a year, I’m afraid that people will laugh at us.”
Seeing how she tried to explain herself in a panic, Anna didn’t say another word. With a wave of her hand, she replied in a grim voice, “Alright, that’s enough.
It’s indeed inconvenient for me to attend the wedding in my present state, so I’m not gonna care about the matter between you and Colton. Just do whatever you want.”
Fearing that the wedding would really be postponed for a year, Queenie dared not make another retort. This time’s wedding was her and Colton’s, so both her wedding dress and the venue for the wedding were the most luxurious.
Naturally, she invited everyone she knew around her, wanting to prove to them that she was the most outstanding person among them. She wanted these people to look up to her and envy her for marrying Colton. “Okay,” she replied meekly.
Having looked up the information long ago, Hayden knew that Queenie was only going to marry a wife beater who happened to share the exact same name with Colton, so he wasn’t angry.
However, Wendy was different. She was kept totally in the dark, so she was unaware that Colton and Queenie had previously registered their marriage. When news broke out on the internet about what had happened earlier, she thought that it was just a publicity stunt pulled off by this woman.
But now that Queenie had come to her home and talked about the wedding, she finally had to believe that her brother was really going to marry the woman before her. “Mom, what’s going on here? Is Colton getting married?” she asked in displeasure with a frown.
Anna still couldn’t explain anything to her at the moment. Therefore, she simply replied, “This is none of your concern.”
Wendy’s cheeks flushed with anger. What does Mom mean by saying this is none of my concern? Colton is my own brother, yet I know nothing about him getting married until it’s almost time for his wedding! “I’ll never allow this woman to marry him. Nicole is the only person I’d recognize as my sister-in-law!” she yelled loudly.
Queenie’s face darkened somewhat when she heard Wendy’s words. Taking a few steps forward, she looked at Wendy while explaining softly, “Wendy, your brother and I really love each other. And besides, I’m now pregnant with his baby…”
Wendy didn’t buy her story, though. She angrily denied it, saying, “What gives you the right to claim that the baby in your womb is my brother’s? Who knows if it’s a b*stard fathered by someone else?”
Perhaps because what Wendy had said was right, Queenie’s face clouded over. Wendy is right; the baby in my womb is indeed a b*stard. Clenching her hands with a darkened expression, she said, “Wendy, you’re still a child now. There are many things that you can’t say as you please.”
Wendy gave her a fierce glare. Unwilling to give up, she said, “Get out of my house now! I don’t want to see you!”
Queenie pursed her lips. Ever since the incident about the Triton Studio last time, Wendy’s attitude toward her had worsened sharply, especially after it came to light afterward that she wasn’t the one who had slept with Colton five years ago.
Wherever she went, Wendy would always be displeased at the sight of her. At the moment, however, she still had to get on the Gardners’ good side, so she couldn’t quarrel with Wendy here.
With a forced smile on her lips, she looked at Wendy, saying, “Wendy, I’ll be your sister-in-law in the future. We should try to get along with each other.”
Wendy immediately retorted in displeasure, “Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t have a lying sister-in-law like you!”
