Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“Dad, you had no idea how frightened I was when she pressed down on my neck with her knee. I

nearly suffocated!”

“Do you have proof? Did anyone see this?” Queenie calmly ate her food. “Please prepare some

evidence before making wild accusations about me.”

Bonnie froze in shock. It was her first time seeing Queenie stooping to trickery. She pointed at

someone and said, “She saw it! She can be my witness.”

Courtney had just brought the fruit salad. to the table. She stiffened as Bonnie. commanded her to

come over. “Come here! You’re my witness. You saw Queenie kneeling on my neck this afternoon,

right?”

“I didn’t see anything like that, Miss Bonnie.” Courtney shook her head.

Bonnie’s face contorted in fury as she glowered at Courtney. The look in her eyes said, I see. I won’t be

forgetting this.

However, Queenie didn’t want to drag Courtney into this, so she turned to her parents and said, “Mom,

Dad, I did say a few words to Bonnie this afternoon. She took my earrings so I wanted to tell her that

taking someone else’s belongings without asking is the same as stealing. I’m just trying to help her

become a decent human being.”

Brandon nodded in agreement once he heard that and turned to Bonnie. “Bonnie, Queenie did the right

thing this time. In the future, you should ask your sister first before you take any of her belongings.”

Bonnie turned red. She could tell that Queenie had the upper hand this time, so her only choice was to

pout and mutter aggrievedly, “Yes, Dad.”

Maggie tried to console her. “Didn’t I give you a credit card? You can just buy whatever you need.”

Bonnie bit her lip. “I just didn’t want to spend money unnecessarily, Mom.

“But just this afternoon, you came home with two bags of clothes. I’m guessing that they cost at least

10 thousand!” Queenie exposed her lie without missing a beat.

Bonnie glared at her darkly. “Queenie, Dad approved my purchases.”

“That’s enough. Let’s just have dinner,” Brandon said. Bonnie glanced at Courtney before secretly

tugging a strand of hair off and surreptitiously adding it to the soup beside her.

“Oh my goodness! What’s this? Is it a strand of hair?” A few moments later, just as Bonnie started

drinking her soup, she purposely spooned the hair out of her bowl and exclaimed, “Mom, Dad, I feel so

disgusted! I nearly ate a strand of hair!”

Queenie glanced over and Bonnic immediately wrapped the hair up in a piece of tissue before tossing it

onto the table. I’m not drinking this soup anymore. Mom, Dad, you guys shouldn’t. drink it either. It’s

revolting!”

Courtney grew frantic as she quickly defended herself. “Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein, I always wear a hat

whenever. I prepare the food.”

“Are you trying to imply that it was my hair?” Bonnie raged.

Queenie took one look at Bonnie’s chestnut-colored hair before studying the strand of hair that was

thrown onto the table. She got up and came over to pick up the tissue with the hair. She didn’t mind

getting her hands dirty as she gave the strand of hair a closer look. “This is

your own hair. Don’t try to make up false accusations about Mrs. Lowman.”

Bonnie turned scarlet once more. She didn’t think that Queenie would come over and continue to

expose her. “You’re just harboring resentment that Mrs. Lowman didn’t act as your witness just now.

You wanted to use your own hair to set her up. You shouldn’t have such a malevolent streak, Bonnie.”

Courtney gave Queenie a look of gratitude. Although she knew that Bonnie was setting her up on

purpose, she was just a member of the household staff and couldn’t defend herself.

Maggie and Brandon exchanged looks. before sighing to themselves. They thought that Bonnie was

just a little spoiled, but from the looks of it now, she was beginning to show an unscrupulous side to her

as well.

“I’m full,” Bonnie announced. She set down her cutlery and walked off, not forgetting to act as if she

were completely broken-hearted.

That night, Maggie went to Bonnie’s room to comfort her. Bonnie threw herself into Maggie’s arms and

moaned about being hated by everyone. She also talked about how much she suffered while growing

up with adopted parents.

Maggie’s heart softened after all that. Even though Bonnie had made a mistake tonight, Maggie didn’t

think much of it anymore.

It was Friday morning, Leslie came to the house with a bouquet of red roses, but Bonnie hid in her

room and refused to see him. It was Brandon who welcomed him into the house as the Silversteins and

the Paynes had a good relationship with each other.

“Mr. Silverstein, my father and I discussed everything last night. I will break off the engagement with

Queenie and get engaged to Bonnie right after,” Leslie announced expectantly.

“Good. That’s what we want as well.” Brandon nodded. He was beginning to: realize that he and his

wife couldn’t control how Bonnie behaved, so he wanted to help her get a good marriage as soon as

possible.

Leslie couldn’t stop himself from heading upstairs to see Bonnie. He missed her too much.

The door to Bonnie’s room remained shut even though Leslie kept knocking for ages. It was Queenie

who was disturbed by the incessant noise. She opened her door and looked at Leslie who was

standing in front of the opposite room. “She doesn’t want to see you, so don’t bother knocking

anymore.”

“What’s going on with Bonnie?” Leslie was at a loss. It was as if Bonnie had suddenly changed into a

whole new person overnight. She didn’t care about him anymore and didn’t even want to see him.

Queenie was probably the only one who knew the reason why. Bonnie’s favorite. pastime was to steal

anything that Queenie wanted. If Queenie didn’t want it anymore, then Bonnie lost interest in it. too. It

was the same each time, regardless of whether it was an item or a man.

Right now, Bonnie was fantasizing about seducing Nigel!

Just then, Bonnie opened her door. She stood at the door all dolled up, and when she spotted Leslie,

she felt a little turned off. “I told you not to come to my house ever again, so why did you still come?”
