Chapter 872
She glared at Anastasia warily. “If it weren’t for Queena, you’d be a murderer by now! Stop slandering her p>
Anastasia ignored her, her eyes fixed on Queena. “You know perfectly well what you did and didn’t do p>
Just then, her phone buzzed with a perfectly timed message. She glanced at it, and a colder smile spread across her lips.
“The maid who worked for the Green family back then… you probably thought you’d gotten rid of her for good by sending her abroad, that you’d never see her again p>
“Unfortunately for you, even after all these years, my people found her and brought her back. She’s already in police custody and has confessed that you instructed her to swap the medicine I prescribed. You can tell your side of the story to the police p>
Anastasia herself was surprised by the timing.
She had recalled the old incident upon arriving in Riverton and had suspected Queena, so she had sent people to investigate.
She hadn’t expected Queena to pull a stunt like this today, nor had she expected the investigation to yield results at this very moment.
At Anastasia’s words, the color drained from Queena’s face.
Her reaction was so obvious that the Greens couldn’t miss it.
Mrs. Green’s stomach dropped. She stared intently at Queena. “Miss Sterling, is what Anastasia said true p>
Thinking back, she realized the maid who had worked for them for years had indeed resigned abruptly after Martha’s incident p>
“Queena?” Martha’s eyes widened as she stared at her in disbelief.
Cold sweat beaded on Queena’s forehead. “I p>
Before she could utter a word of defense, several police officers appeared.
“Queena Sterling? Please come with us p>
Unable to resist, Queena was led away.
Gabriel and Nora finally snapped out of their shock. “No! Queena-Queena is innocent p>
They were held back, forced to watch as Queena was escorted out.
As Anastasia watched Queena’s humiliating exit, Queena suddenly turned, her hateful gaze locking with hers.
“Anastasia! When did you know… When did you know p>
When did she know she was illegitimate? When did she know something was wrong with the Martha incident?
Anastasia offered her a faint, cold smile.
She hadn’t known the truth about Martha’s case; she had only been suspicious based on the despicable character of Queena and her
mother. As it turned out, Queeña
hadn’t disappointed her.
As for Queena’s parentage? She had known since her rebirth but had held onto the
secret, waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow.
After Queena was taken away, the venue was silent for a few seconds before erupting in a low buzz.
“My God, I never thought Queena was that kind of person. I used to think so highly of her p>
“Actually, the signs were there. Didn’t
you hear what happened at the
Global Harmony Medical Institute last week? That man, Steven. heard Queena collaborated with him on quite a few things p>
The apprenticeship ceremony thus ended in abrupt disarray.
Gideon left in a fury, refusing to accept Queena. As for Anastasia he likely had no intention of changing his mind either. In the end, Anastasia got her wish and was officially taken under Bruno’s wing again
As the crowd dispersed, Anastasia offered a sincere, silent thank you to Queena for
making her day so thoroughly enjoyable.
