Chapter 51: Ms. Wilson slaps herself, Queenie gains envy

The attention of the student’s mother was still focused on May, not noticing Queenie's shock, and she continued in a sarcastic tone.

"But... some people... wear such expensive coats with an ordinary salary. Could it be that they are embezzling money they shouldn't be?"

Hearing the subtle implication of embezzlement from the mother, May's face instantly turned pale, and she quickly explained, "This coat is not from V House! It was given to me by a good friend and cost only a little over $100 dollars. It... it's not that expensive."

May's words were not false; she had bought a high-quality imitation that cost just a little over a $100.

"Oh..." the mother drew out her voice. "So, it's a high-quality imitation! That makes sense then."

Saying that, the two mothers looked directly at Queenie and said, "Ms. Lorente, this coat looks really good on you."

After exchanging compliments, the two of them left, leaving May, who had just admitted to wearing an imitation, with a burning face.

Although it was an imitation, the price of over a $100 still took a lot of consideration for May to purchase.

Being publicly slapped in the face like this made her furious!

May's face turned dark, and she turned on her high heels and walked back to her office.

Seeing this, Queenie also prepared to walk into the teachers' office, but she was surrounded by her colleagues before she could take a step.

"Queenie, let me touch this coat of yours. I've never touched a $20,000-dollar coat before."
"Yes, let me have a look. It'll open my eyes."
"Queenie, is your ring worth tens of millions? My goodness! What does it feel like to wear a whole condominium on your hand?"

Several female teachers were eager to touch and examine Queenie.

Queenie became itchy from being touched by everyone.

"This coat was given to me by my husband, and it might be an imitation. As for this ring, that parent must have been mistaken. My husband said it's worthless and definitely not worth tens of millions."

Queenie was also shocked earlier but remembered Benoit's fall from power and destitution, so she thought it was unlikely for him to possess such an expensive ring and didn't take it to heart.

The surrounding female teachers also didn't understand, and no one could give a definite answer.

At this moment, a married female teacher looked at Queenie's ring and spoke up, "Ms. Lorente, please don't be modest. If your husband can buy the Bund Bay condominium worth billions and get you a multi-million-dollar ring, then nothing is impossible."

The female teachers were shocked again by the price of the condominium.

Queenie was also stunned, "My husband... "

"That large duplex should not be that expensive, right?" She privately estimated the market price, which was probably around $1.3 million dollars.

But the value of $1.3 million and the value of over $13 million are two different concepts!

Other female teachers also chimed in, "Yes, yes, that large duplex does look quite luxurious, but based on the rumored square foot price, it should be possible to acquire it for $985,000 to $910,000 dollars.."

The married female teacher laughed lightly, "You all know that my husband is the chief engineer of Bund Bay, right?"

Everyone nodded, almost forgetting about this.

"That day, after I went to Ms. Lorente's house, I took some pictures to show my husband.
My husband is knowledgeable and very confident that with the house and its interior decoration and furnishings, it's worth over a $13 million dollars.

Because Ms. Lorente's house is the best in terms of the whole development's landscape and also the most expensive, specifically designated for the elite clients of Coast City.

To obtain a spot, not only do you have to compete internally and see whose connections are stronger, and whose position in Coast City is higher, but you also have to afford the internal price."

As the voice fell, the teachers found this statement highly credible and let out surprised exclamations of envy once again.

"Queenie, I'm so jealous of you. You have such an amazing husband."

"Queenie, your husband is really generous. Such an expensive house, and he just gives it to you!"

Ella saw this scene and became so jealous that she started to clench her teeth.

Why?!
Why is Queenie's class always outperforming hers in English, and her husband is so rich!
She has a large duplex in Bund Bay, and he even bought her such an expensive diamond ring!

Ella's eyes darkened, and she sent a WhatsApp message to her sister:
‘Get closer to Monica. Her brother-in-law is quite a remarkable person. I just heard that their house is worth over a $13 million, and also, Ms. Lorente's diamond ring is worth over ten million!’

After sending the message, Ella glanced disdainfully in Queenie's direction.
Last night, she accidentally overheard her sister's conversation with Monica and learned that she wanted to get back at Queenie and seduce her husband.
She knew very well what kind of person her sister was, always wanting to get close to wealthy people, so she intentionally said told her those things just now.

Now she was waiting for Queenie to become a deserted woman crying and weeping!

Soon, the bell for class rang, and the teachers surrounding Queenie dispersed.

Queenie returned to her workstation, turned on her computer, and started her day's work.
During lunch break, Macy came to find her to have a meal and to also go shopping.

Just as they finished eating, Pollard's annoying phone call came again.
Queenie, in front of Macy, confidently answered the phone.
Macy leaned in, eavesdropping beside the phone.
The phone transmitted Pollard's gentle voice.
"Queenie, have you calmed down?"

Macy thought, ‘What a ridiculous opening statement.’

Queenie instinctively furrowed her brow in response.

"Pollard, I already explained it to you last night. I broke up with you, and I am now married ."

"Queenie, can you stop being angry with me? I know you were scared when I was on my business trip. You must have been anxious after encountering Mr. Carter, but Queenie, I had no other choice. This is how it is in the workplace. You work too, so you should understand that when the company needs you to go on a business trip, you can't refuse."

"And besides, you've always been supportive of my archaeological work, right? I often tell my colleagues that I have a considerate and understanding wife like you..."

"Pollard!" Queenie was tired of listening to Pollard's nonsense. "Whenever you come back, when I feel the need to explain, my husband and I will give you an explanation together. I don't want to talk about it now."

"Oh, here we go again! Queenie, is it fun for you to provoke me like this?" Pollard's voice had a touch of annoyance. "I told you, I'll be back in a few days. If you provoke me now, I can't fly back immediately."

Listening to this, Queenie felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
Before she could say anything, Pollard continued without a care.

"By the way, Queenie, I talked to my mom on the phone last night, and she said that you're not staying at Clancy Villa anymore.
Tell me honestly, is there any misunderstanding between you and my mom?"
