Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Infidelity

Before Lydia could drown in her excitement, the reporters beside her, while recording the picture on the screen, described the scene in exhilaration.

“Isn’t that Queenie Anderson and Young Master Joseph? Oh my!”

“But isn’t she engaged to President Gardner? How could she do that?”

“Tsk, tsk. Look at them doing it so barbarously. Seems like they’ve done this before.”

“This visit sure is worth it!”

Hearing their remarks, Lydia instantly scowled. Isn’t it supposed to be Nicole? Why are they talking about Queenie? She turned to the enormous screen, and in the center of it, no doubt, was Queenie and Joseph. Trembling, she almost tumbled, and as she was hastily going to turn off the screen, Colton came in through the entrance.

He sported a full black suit, and his perfectly tailored slacks highlighted his abnormally lengthy legs. There wasn’t a trace of emotions on his face. And right as he entered the banquet hall, his eyes fell upon the screen. After all, the noise and the attention of the crowd drew him to turn to the screen.

Thoroughly panicked, Lydia quickly turned the screen off. Nevertheless, the sight of Queenie and Joseph fornicating was deeply engraved in the minds of the audience, turning the once-silent banquet into a lively commotion.

Infuriated, William had already seen through the scheme. He went up and glared at Lydia as he gritted his teeth. “What do you think you’re doing?!”

Anxiousness flashed across Lydia’s eyes as she speedily denied her involvement. “I-I don’t know either!” She had no idea how the supposed victim Nicole had turned into her own daughter, Queenie. Reminded of the scene on the screen, she swiftly lifted the skirt of her dress and got ready to go over. If she didn’t stop it right away, her daughter’s innocence would be stripped away.

Behind her, the reporters, having seen the blood-pumping scene, were tempted to storm into the building to catch the two in the act. Seeing as Lydia retreated, they briskly followed after. Although the bodyguards wanted to block them off, the number of reporters easily triumphed over them. Besides, all of the reporters had amassed years of experience, and they would risk their lives in order to get their hands on the hottest news. There was no way the bodyguards could hold them off.

Anna, on the other hand, had brought Wendy along to the banquet. The reason for her visit, apart from meeting Nicole, was to show some courtesy to Queenie, who had been with her son for so many years. Alas, her visit only led her to such explicit footage, and listening to the whispers of the guests, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Although Queenie had yet to marry Colton, she was still widely known as Colton’s fiancée, but to see her doing something so shameless with Joseph on the bed, Anna was so enraged that her face blanched.

At once, Wendy attempted to comfort her mother. “Don’t be upset, Mom. She hasn’t married Colton anyway.”

Anna was shaking, but fortunately, someone was by her side to grab her, or she would have actually collapsed.

Seeing his mother’s pale face, Colton hurriedly went up to hold her. “Mom, are you okay?”

Anna heaved a sigh, visibly unwell. She reached out her hand and grasped Colton, saying, “Go check out what’s happening. If that’s real, the Gardner Family shall not take in such a treacherous woman!”

From afar, William caught the unfriendly expression on Anna’s face. As he was about to approach her, he overheard her utterance and immediately grimaced. Nervous, he went up to her. “Why don’t you take a seat first, Mrs. Gardner?”

At his arrival, Anna’s face didn’t turn any better. Followingly, she scoffed. “Look at the beloved daughter you raised.”

Upon those words, William’s face reddened, but he, too, had witnessed the inappropriate scene, so he could only hold in his frustration. “There must be some sort of misunderstanding, Mrs. Gardner. Queenie isn’t one to do something like this.” All these years, the Andersons were already at their lowest, and without the Gardner Family’s protection, they’d be done for.

Shutting her eyes, Anna obviously had no intention to entertain the man before her. With that, she turned to Colton. “Go see what’s happening.”
