Chapter 1 Curious

It happened in the special audience zone of the horserace. Christopher Quinton was amidst the owners of listed companies, and with him was Rachel Benson.He was dressed in a sharp, crisp suit. White shirt, black trousers. The man looked nothing less than an elite.Then, his face was plastered all over the screen, and the amount of his donation kept going up. The people around him realized what this must mean. They put on fake smiles and cracked jokes."You're young but accomplished, Mr. Quinton. That's 450 grand, and you donated it like it was nothing.""This horserace is something the Halloways started. You'll get a chance to make a friend out of that person. Don't forget about us."The business owners exchanged knowing looks and smiled calmly. The people here were bluebloods and elites of the city. Networking would do good for their future."Oh, Mr. West, you jest. You hold half a dozen projects. We'd love to work with you."Rachel's comment caught the attention of Mr. West. H

Chapter 2 Disgust

"I'll find my son and then leave."But the manager pinched his nose in disgust. The look in his eyes told me he did not buy that story at all. "A guest? You smell like manure, and you're picking up trash. Please leave this instance, or I'll have to call security."I showed no disappointment, but I sighed in my mind. I was feeding the horses with my son at the racecourse, but the horse sprayed all over me. My clothes got drenched, and I had no choice but to borrow a set from the passing janitor.The manager wasn't going to let me go any further, so I picked up my bag. I was going to resume the search for my son, but when I raised my head, I met Christopher's eyes. By chance, he turned around.The sight of me stunned him, and a frown creased his forehead. "Queenie? You're scavenging now? How low did you go?"The manager was surprised that Christopher knew me. Eager to patch up his mistake, he asked, "Is this your friend, Mr. Quinton?"That got everyone's attention. They looked at u

Chapter 3 Slander

"We'll never see each other again. And congratulations on the wedding." I knew that wasn't enough to kill his doubts, so I turned my hand around and showed him the wedding ring. "And I'm married. I love my husband very much."The look on Christopher's face changed faster than I could say another word. He grabbed my hand. "What? When did this happen?"Rachel chuckled and spoke with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "Next time you try to lie, make sure you clean up anything that might ruin it. You've gone through a lot of husbands these past few years."Christopher took the phone from her and flipped through the photos. Then his frown disappeared, replaced by realization. "You almost got me this time. I can't believe you'd lie about marriage just to get my attention. This chance encounter is no coincidence, either. You set it up, didn't you?"Now I was the one frowning. I wondered what he was talking about until I saw the photos. A woman with a build similar to mine posted to

Chapter 4 Mockery

"You're generous, Mr. Quinton. Six thousand is enough to last her a year." Then, they turned to me. "Oh, um, what's your name again? Our legs are killing us here, and our throats too. Get us some water, will you?"I laughed mirthlessly. They wanted me to serve them? Just when I finally got some precious days off to spend with my husband? They could die in a ditch for all I cared.I smacked the card away and snapped angrily, "Get your head checked. You probably got hit on the head too much as a kid, and now it's coming back to bite you."My continued refusal irritated Christopher, and his face fell. Rachel quickly stepped in to calm him down.Scoffing, she said, "Gratitude doesn't exist in her world, Chris. If she was ever grateful for you, she'd never have stolen your company's most important techniques." She turned to me. "Should I jog your memory? You told us someone tailed you and took away the technique, but right after you quit, our competitor released a new project. It was su

Chapter 5 The Past

"We'll be together forever, Queenie. I swear, this is our happily ever after."That was ancient history. I'd almost forgotten about it, but he had to bring it back up. Since he wasn't going to move his foot away, I let go instead.I tapped on my smartwatch with my grime-covered hands, but it refused to light up. Worried, I started scrubbing my fingers with my clothes, but then the racecourse's manager charged toward me and snatched my watch away.Suspicious, he checked the watch slowly. When he noticed the diamond-encrusted band, he said with certainty, "This watch is at least six figures. There is no way you could've afforded this. You stole from our guest, didn't you? Get her and take her to the cops, security!"He then grabbed his walkie-talkie and told his men to find out if any of the VIPs had lost anything valuable.The security guards pulled my arms behind me and were going to escort me off to the cops. This was unbelievable. I turned around and shouted, "That's my watch! Y

Chapter 6 Delusional

The bodyguards had taken my son from Rachel. I pounced into my husband's arms and hugged him tightly. Everyone stared at me in shock, but I did not care.My husband patted my back. "It's alright. I'm here."Once I calmed down, I wiped my tears. Then, I stepped back and looked at my son. He had tears on his cheeks. Like a hurt puppy, he called out to me, "Mom."Then, he noticed the warning look my husband gave him, and he hung his head low, though I noticed his puffed-up cheeks. I poked my husband's chest quietly, telling him not to be so severe with our son.The bodyguards were doing their job. Their presence intimidated the people around us, and no one moved.The noise slowly went away, replaced by a pregnant pause. But then Christopher's voice broke that quiet air. "You can't do this to me, Queenie," he muttered.His eyes were red, and a snarl covered his face as he jabbed a finger at my husband. "You'd rather marry a paraplegic and not me?"I lunged at him like a tigress and

Chapter 7 Mortimer Comes

Christopher sucked in air as much as his lungs would allow, and he gave me a piteous look. "The Halloway family is famous, aristocratic. They would never let you be a part of them. Your husband doesn't even have proper clothes, Queenie. You're scavenging just to support your family. Don't trust anything that man says. He's trying to make you pick up his slack for the rest of your lives."I really, really wanted to roll my eyes. I was going to take part in this event with my family without drawing any attention to us. It took me forever to convince my husband into wearing that family attire.It might look unassuming on the outside, but it was custom-made for him, and I drew the seal myself. I thought, 'You're blind and ignorant. You haven't changed at all.'Christopher knew I did not believe him, and he whipped out his phone. A moment later, he showed me a photo. "Mr. Halloway invited me to this event himself." He looked at Timothy. "Bet you didn't see this coming, did you, poser?"

Chapter 8 Asking for Forgiveness

His face betrayed no emotion, and no one could see through his mind.The racecourse's owner showed up not long after Mortimer did, and now he was wiping the sweat off his brow. "On behalf of the racecourse's staff, I apologize, Mr. and Mrs. Halloway. Your expenses will be waived for a year. Is that alright with you?"Displeased, Mortimer asked, "What about Queenie's scratched reputation?"The owner couldn't answer that, and he started stammering.Timothy chortled. "I see not even my family's influence could get a public apology from you. If you'd hurt anyone else instead of my wife, you'd have them swallow the unfair treatment, wouldn't you? "Very well. You failed in the most basic of customer service. I see no point in this place's continued operations. Mortimer, tell the legal team to end the lease early."At that point, the owner finally realized that he had messed up badly. The gravity of the situation was sinking in. He wanted to try and get a second chance, but Timothy's a

Chapter 9 Guess

He clenched the knuckles on his knees until they turned white.I was standing beside Timothy. There was a look of melancholy on his face, and my thoughts drifted away.I had a secret I never told Christopher. Just like him, I had someone I loved but could never get.And that man was Timothy Halloway.Back in high school, he was the guy with the highest status, while I was just a regular girl who got into the elite class, and just barely.I loved to observe Timothy when I thought no one was looking. No, not because he was handsome, but because he was also a brilliant guy in his own right. His existence gave me a chance to pry into a world that was out of my class.The first day we became deskmates, he talked to me. In his eyes, I saw a complete person. A girl I never thought I'd see. Thanks to that, we became friends, and that bond soon turned into an unshakeable tie.Yet the difference between our families was wider than any ocean, so no one ever confessed. Once we finished high

Chapter 10 Resolved

"I know we hurt you, Queenie, but you have a happy family now. Can you please ask Mr. Halloway to spare us? You co-founded Quinton Group. You can't let it go under!"Someone told me the whole story on our way here. Though Rachel was trying her best to look like a poor girl who just needed help, I sneered and raised her chin."I can do that, only if you let someone break your arm. A good deal, especially considering what you did to me."Horror struck Rachel, and she fell to the ground like all her strength was drained from her. Her eyes were darting around.Christopher had an inkling that something was wrong. "Queenie, is there something I should know?"I ignored his question, so he turned to Rachel. "Is it you? Are you hiding something? Tell me!" he roared.Rachel started bawling, and she wrapped her arms around his leg. She argued, "Chris, you have to believe me! I only did it because I love you!"Timothy snorted and tossed the pile of documents on his desk to Christopher. Rach
