Chapter 873

George hadn’t attended the ceremony. He only found out what had happened when Gabriel and Nora came to him in a panic, begging for help to save Queena.

“What did you say? It was Queena who switched the medicine in the Green family incident p>

“It seems so Nora said, flustered and anxious. “Mr. George, you have to save Queena p>

George’s face turned grim, and he violently shoved her hand away. “What else p>

“What… what else?” Nora didn’t understand.

“Besides this, what other terrible things has she done?!” George roared.

George had always trusted Queena and believed he had judged her character correctly, until Steven’s scandal broke a few days ago, implicating Queena.

At the time, he had assumed she was just young and had been deceived by Steven into making a mistake, so he hadn’t thought much of it.

But then he heard that Queena had helped someone cheat on the Global Harmony Medical Institute’s assessment and had been punished for it.

It was then he realized he might have been wrong about her. But after years of being her mentor, he had given her the benefit of the doubt.

Until now.

Why did he despise Anastasia so much? Why did he admire Queena? The root of it all was the Green family incident!

Anastasia had nearly killed someone, so he loathed her for her disregard for human life.

Queena had miraculously saved Martha, so he praised her as a genius, personally bringing her to Riverton to advance her career, tirelessly planning for her future without asking for anything in return.

And the result? Now he was being told it was all a setup by Queena. He had been played for a fool by a young girl all along.

George was consumed by disappointment and rage.

Nora and Gabriel, oblivious to his mood, were still pleading urgently. “Mr. George, you have to help. You can’t abandon Queena p>

George’s chest heaved. “Someone! See our guests out p>

Gabriel and Nora were shocked. “Mr. George p>

“I can’t save Queena! Tell her I am not capable enough. After all these years of planning for her, I failed to help her reach the top. What power do have? You had best find someone more competent!

With that, he had Gabriel and Nora thrown out.

Furious and stunned, they began contacting Queena’s other connections—she had befriended quite a few influential people over the years.

However, after countless calls, not a single person agreed to help.

Some were angry after learning of Queena’s true nature; others didn’t dare to get involved after hearing about Anastasia’s connections.

“We’ll go beg Anastasia!” Nora said, her eyes bloodshot. “I’ll go to her, l

get on my knees and beg her to p>

show mercy and let Queena

go p>

It seemed this was their only option left.

Later, as the Lancasters were having dinner, a servant came to inform Anastasia

that Gabriel and Nora wanted to see her.

Anastasia could guess why they were there. “I’m not seeing them. Tell them to leave p>

The Lancaster elders were aware of

her family situation. Anastasia hadn’t hidden what happened at the ceremony and had casually
