I reached out and opened the door. When she saw me, the woman was obviously startled. Perhaps she did not expect me to be here.
I was quite familiar with her eyes.
With my thin lips pursed lightly, I smirked and approached her step by step. "Queenie, I've caught you."
I was very confident. I walked up to the woman and quickly tore off her mask, revealing the surprised face hidden under it.
"Queenie, is it really you?!" Nicky's tone was one of surprise. She did not expect Queenie to have really done it.
Queenie looked unwilling after being
caught.
Nicky approached Queenie. Her gaze was intolerant but more so puzzled. "You should have found a job and stabilized your situation after Wanda didn't hold you accountable. How could you retaliate against Wanda? She has already been merciful enough toward you."
"Was she being merciful to me by not holding me accountable?" Queenie suddenly laughed. Her laugh was helpless, and she got even angrier. After her burst of laughter, her scarlet eyes faced me. "How could I have been reduced to what I am now if she hadn't held me accountable?!"
We did not notice it just now, but now that she brought it up, I took a serious look at her. Her face was pale and haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes were no longer as clear as they used to be.
Instead, they were angry and dissatisfied.
I did not understand what she meant at all. "Queenie, what do you mean by that?"
This reminded me of Tyler, but I also knew it could not be him because there was no need for him to do that.
After being quiet for a long time, Queenie thought I had acquiesced and sneered a few times. "Now you admit it?"
"No, because it's not me." My expression was heavy, and my tone became lower. "I’ll find out who’s the initiator. Before that, please don't make any more fuss. Go home and wait for the news. Else, I won’t mind sending you to the police station directly."
Queenie stared at me and gradually calmed down. "Okay, then let me go. I'll go back and wait for your news."
Her being so well-behaved all of a sudden scared me. I looked at her. "Are you sure?'
She nodded. "Of course. You can ask them to take me home."
