Chapter 1376 Don’t Commit A Crime
As the commotion unfolded, Lina watched from a distance. She did not anticipate Nigel, who had
maintained a low profile, to fight for Queenie! In addition, he had thrashed another wealthy heir from a
well-known company in Averna.
Was it worthwhile to stand up for Queenie?
The man who had been beaten was called Steve Nolan. He came from a wealthy family and was a
member of the same social circle as Nigel. In addition, his vile personality was well-known among his
peers. It was rumored that he had a penchant for hooking up with women and that he sought only
attractive women.
As a result, Nigel’s anger surfaced almost immediately when Steve looked at Queenie earlier. Even if
he had continued staring at Queenie for another two seconds, it would be regarded as insulting her.
“Just you wait, Nigel Manson. We’re not done yet.” After leaving those words, Steve walked away while
he was aided by his friend.
“Are you alright, Nigel?” Lina seized the opportunity, approached him, and asked in a concerned tone.
“I’m fine,” he replied and took Queenie’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLina turned around and exhibited an evident expression of disappointment upon seeing their backs. At
that moment, she was feeling quite envious of Queenie. She admired Nigel’s manliness but knew she
could not claim him as her own.
Nigel and Queenie approached Brandon, who was delighted with how Nigel protected his daughter.
“Nigel, showing your dominance over these unruly people is the right thing to do. You did well.”
“I’ll send Queenie back home now, Mr. Silverstein. Feel free to have some more drinks,” Nigel said.
“Okay. I’ll leave her with you, then.” Brandon nodded, relieved that Nigel was with Queenie.
As soon as they stepped into the elevator, she reached out to examine his fist. “Does it hurt?”
“Why should I feel pain? I regret not kicking him, too.” Nigel’s anger was still raging uncontrollably. How
dare Steve try to hit on his woman? As such, he deserved to be beaten.
She was relieved that he was protecting her, but she also felt distressed! If the man fought back, Nigel
could get hurt.
“Did I scare you?” After noticing that her pretty little face was still tense, he concluded she was terrified.
How could she not be? It was the first time in her life that she had witnessed a fight and her boyfriend’s
involvement made it even more shocking.
“Nah, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt to be stared at—” Queenie appeared indifferent to the situation.
However, the man beside her did not share her sentiment and was not magnanimous. He wrapped his
arm around her waist, drew her into his embrace, and stared at her with dark orbs. “Who said so?
You’re my soon-to-be wife. No one else besides me is allowed to look at you. If anyone tries to hit on
you, I will make them go blind!”
In response to Nigel’s shocking declaration, Queenie reached out a hand to cover his mouth. “D-Don’t
break the law because of me! I don’t want you to be imprisoned before I marry you! What would I do if
that happened?”
Nigel was speechless at her remark, after which he gave a low chuckle before he finally burst into
laughter. Queenie, who was also amused, covered her mouth with her hands as she giggled.
The two of them laughed all the way to the elevator, and when they arrived, several guests were
waiting outside the door to enter. When they saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman laughing at
each other, the guests couldn’t contain their laughter!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Stop laughing. This is a serious matter. You must listen to me.” Queenie glared at him.
Nigel suppressed his laughter and nodded. “Okay, I’m going to stop laughing now. I will never do
anything illegal for your sake. I will keep my promise and marry you. Moreover, I won’t let you spend
the night alone in the room on our wedding night.”
Queenie couldn’t help but roll her eyes bashfully at him. “What’re you talking about? You honestly think
I don’t want you to break the law because we can’t be together? That’s not what I mean! All I ask is that
you always be by my side.”
After making that statement, her face flushed as she continued walking forward. A black car failed to
notice her and nearly collided with her, but Nigel quickly pulled her back to safety. She was so startled
that she clung tightly to him.
“Let’s get something to eat before I send you home,” he suggested as he held her hand and led her to
his car.
Meanwhile, Bonnie dashed home and sat on a park bench near the Silverstein Residence. She
frantically reached for her phone, tapped a few numbers, and anxiously asked, “I’m scared. When I
arrived at the banquet earlier today, someone unexpectedly called my actual name. Do you think they
recognized me?”
