Chapter 245 Drugged

Queenie learned that Colton would be in the bar tonight, and she dressed up specifically for a chance encounter

with him.

The bar was absolutely perfect for her plan. After all, it would be easier to drug him in such a cluttered

environment.

She’d just have to ask him to send her home. With the effect of the drug, her plan would undoubtedly go smoothly.

Queenie couldn’t help but smile when she thought of this.

She then approached Colton gracefully in her high heels and said in a surprised tone, “Colton, it’s really you! I was

wondering whether it’s you when I saw you from a distance, which was why I came closer to have a look. Don’t you

avoid places like this, though?”

With that, Queenie sat down with them without their invitation.

She then raised her head to look at Richard. With a smile on her face, she nodded to him.

Richard returned a nod too. Then, he turned around and asked Colton, “Are you not introducing us? Who is this

lovely lady?”

But Colton maintained his emotionless expression even after seeing Queenie. “She’s Queenie, an employee of the

company,” he explained as he sipped his drink.

Queenie’s smile stiffened as she heard Colton introduce herself in this manner, but she said nothing more and

simply cast him a tender glance before looking away.

Richard, on the other hand, looked at both of them and knew something was off. Hence, he did not say anything as

well.

Colton began to tug on his collar a few minutes later. He had consumed a large amount of alcohol earlier and now

felt the need to use the gents. “I’m going to the gents,” he said as he stood up.

And he left right after his words, ignoring Queenie.

Sitting directly across from Richard, Queenie looked at the leftover alcohol in Colton’s cup. It is now or never, she

decided.

Hence, with her lips pursed, she tried to start a conversation with Richard to divert his attention. “You’re Colton’s

cousin, right?”

“You can say that.” Richard gave a nod. He could tell Colton wasn’t interested in the woman in front of him.

While getting the pills from her pocket, she continued, “When I was in the Gardner Residence, I heard Mrs. Gardner

mention you several times. If I’m not mistaken, you’re Richard Jenkins, aren’t you?”

Richard raised his brows when he heard that. She’s not someone simple.

“Yes, I’m Richard. Nice to meet you.” He graciously extended his hand.

“I’m Queenie Anderson.” Queenie reached out to shake his hand as well. At the same time, she threw one of the

pills she had hidden in her other hand into Colton’s glass. The pill instantly dissolved in the water, leaving no trace.

And Queenie’s actions went completely unnoticed in this lively atmosphere with dark lights.

Julia, on the other hand, couldn’t keep her cool. She was furious when she saw Richard and Queenie happily shaking

hands and talking.

Fortunately, Nicole was nearby to keep her friend from blowing a gasket.

“We’ll see how the situation goes. But don’t worry, this woman’s target is Colton,” Nicole comforted.

With her legs crossed, Julia stared coldly at Nicole and responded, “Nicole, this woman is definitely not a decent

one!”

Undeniably, Julia was spot on. Queenie was indeed not some kind of good samaritan.

When Colton returned from the gents, he had no reservations about his glass of alcohol as Richard was around.

Hence, he drank the entire glass.

When Queenie saw this, she smiled. She then tried to think of something to say to him. “Colton, I know it’s

impossible between us now. Before we go our separate ways, can I have a chat with you?” she asked earnestly.

In response, Colton looked at a solemn Queenie. He wouldn’t mind talking to her if it meant she would stop

bothering him in the future.

Richard sensed the eerie atmosphere between them and quickly said, “Just go. I’m fine by myself here. Your

presence makes little difference.”

“Let’s go, then.” Colton stood up and cast a casual glance at Queenie.
