Chapter 283

Queenie signed after hanging up. Harvey had reported Wanda’s recent activities to her.

Wanda had sat with Carlisle during the bus trip to the outdoor military training. And Wanda obviously didn’t want Queenie to go to A1 Seafood Restaurant just now.

It was very likely that Carlisle was also there.

Zachary, who was smoking with crossed legs, asked with a frown, “Didn’t you want to have seafood for dinner? Why do you suddenly want to eat Hanese food?”

“I had indigestion recently, so I shouldn’t be eating so much seafood.” Queenie was playing Tetris on her

phone with her head hung low.

Zachary muttered, “Let’s ask Wanda to join us.”

Wanda had left the college, so he could no longer keep an eye on her. He was worried that Wanda would

get back together with Carlisle.

Queenie rolled her eyes at him. “Can’t you give her some personal space?”

Zachary’s face darkened. “If she had behaved at college, would I be keeping such a close eye on her?”

Queenie sneered. “Wanda is just a tool for political marriage in your family, right?”

Zachary leaned against the chair with his eyes closed, unspeaking.

He also had complicated feelings about this. Wanda would definitely hate him and their father in the future. However, the fate of the Thompson family was on the line.

They could only join hands with influential families to strengthen their business foundation.

Queenie held on to Zachary’s arm and asked coquettishly, “Honey, who will Wanda be married off to?”

“Mind your own business!” Without even glancing at her, Zachary spoke in a detached and emotionless

manner.

“I’m curious. Please tell me.” Queenie kept rubbing against Zachary’s arm.

Zachary gulped but remained unfazed.

Queenie then whispered in Zachary’s ear.

Zachary arched his brows and asked in surprise, “Really?”

Queenie flushed and nodded shyly.

After a moment of hesitation, Zachary whispered a name in Queenie’s ear.

Queenie widened her eyes upon hearing the name.

Zachary warned solemnly, “You must keep this to yourself. If Wanda finds out, I’ll break up with you!”

Queenie nodded repeatedly. “I got it.”

But soon after, she asked, “If they’re willing to help Mr. Thompson, Yuriel should be unable to do anything.”

Zachary looked grim as he answered, “But they won’t help us for free.”

“So they’ll only help after Wanda’s engagement?”

“I suppose you can say that.”

Queenie grew excited. “Then, is Wanda going to get engaged soon?”

“I won’t tell you about that!” Zachary continued to rest with his eyes closed.

“Honey, please tell me. If you satisfy my curiosity, I’ll fulfill another wish of yours, okay?” Queenie was very curious, so she persisted cutely again.

Recalling that his previous wish was denied by Queenie, Zachary became excited and whispered a date in

her ear.

Back at A1 Seafood Restaurant, Carlisle constantly served Wanda food and even peeled shrimp for her.

Gerard felt miserable watching them. They both looked every bit like a couple.

He didn’t want Carlisle to have such a good–looking girlfriend.
