Chapter 64 Sarah Probes the West District Incident with Monica

Benoit and Manley instinctively froze.

Queenie's expression was unreadable as she said, "I….

The color faded from her face, unable to hear what the two were talking about, she squeezed out a forced smile and greeted them before heading towards the dining table.

Seeing her like this, Benoit furrowed his brow and pushed the wheelchair over to help with unpacking the breakfast.

When his elbow touched Queenie's body, Queenie suddenly trembled and reacted strongly, creating distance between them.

Now, Benoit's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Sorry...I didn't realize you were behind me just now..." Queenie also knew that her reaction was excessive and quickly explained.

After explaining, she lowered her head and ate breakfast in silence.

She had dreamt about the incident from a year ago all night, and now she was feeling very uncomfortable.

Her head was throbbing and she felt a faint nausea.

Seeing her pale complexion, Benoit asked gently, "Should I call a doctor for you?"

"No need, I've finished eating. I need to go to work," Queenie hurriedly stood up, grabbed her bag, and quickly left the apartment.

As soon as the door closed, Benoit's face turned dark, almost as if it could leak icy water.

Manley also dared not say a word.

From this situation, anyone with discerning eyes could vaguely guess something.

Just as Queenie arrived at school, May called her to the office.

"Get ready, starting tomorrow, you'll be participating in the district-level outstanding teachers competition in the West District."

"The West District? Can I not go?" Queenie involuntarily exclaimed.

At that moment, Sarah, her sister, happened to knock on Ms. Wilson's office door and heard Queenie's strong reaction, clearly surprised.

May furrowed her brow, "Why not? The competition is held in the West District every year. This area is just for the preliminary rounds. You are the only contestant from our school who has advanced. If you don't go, then who will?"

Upon hearing this, Queenie's breathing became more rapid, and she briefly spaced out, as if she could hear that person's voice in her ear.

"Don't let me see you in the West District in the future."

The cold voice, like a constricting python, closed in inch by inch, causing Queenie to shudder involuntarily.

"Ms. Lorente!" May's voice became more serious.

Queenie snapped back to reality and nodded, "Oh, okay, I understand. I will go prepare right away."

After saying that, Queenie left the office absentmindedly.

May rolled her eyes and said in front of Sarah, "She's so nervy."

Sarah's eyes darkened, feeling that Queenie seemed to be very afraid of the "West District."

So, as soon as she left the office, she jokingly mentioned this to Sarah.

"By the way, you're getting close to Monica, do you know why her sister is so afraid of the West District?"

...

On the other hand, Lilith sat in a private room at the coffee house, listening to arrival report.

Suddenly, her eyes sparkled!

"You're talking about the only son of the Blair family, Leo?"

"Yes," nodded Jeff, the half-bald man in front of her.

Lilith made a cup of coffee and placed it on the opposite side: "Jeff, please sit. There's no need to be so polite between us."

Jeff was her capable right-hand man whom she brought from her family home. In his early fifties, he was steady, efficient, and deeply trusted by her.

Jeff sat down, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Miss, why did you suddenly think of having me investigate Leo?"

"My undercover informant told me that Queenie and Benoit went to watch a movie and saw some high school students, and their expressions changed." Lilith suddenly burst out laughing, "I never expected to uncover such a valuable person!"

Jeff narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lilith, do you want Leo to deal with Queenie? But haven't you arranged for your nephew Daniel to take care of her in a few days?"

"I need to have a backup plan." Lilith sipped her coffee with a deep gaze, "Leo is the only child of the Blair family, and they consider him as a treasure. Compared to Daniel, he is a more valuable pawn."

While speaking, Lilith smirked, "And didn't his sister Mary Green have a crush on Benoit before?"

"Oh, right. Tomorrow Queenie is assigned to compete in the West District." Jeff reported the information he had just received to Lilith.

Lilith slammed the table with a crisp sound. "Good! Notify Daniel immediately."

Just as Jeff was about to leave, he heard Lilith speak again.

"Send Mary the anonymous photos of Benoit and Queenie at the movies. Also, let her know that Queenie will be in the West District tomorrow."

With a satisfied smile on her face, Lilith said, "Now we have a great show to watch!"

Sarah was a clever person. After receiving her sister's message, she immediately went to find Monica.

In Monica's room, she chattered for a while before asking, "Oh, Monica, do you know about what happened to your sister in the West District?"

Monica's expression subtly changed, and she suspiciously looked at Sarah, "What have you heard?"

"Oh, nothing. My sister just mentioned that your sister seemed afraid of going to the West District."

Monica put a strawberry in her mouth, squinting her eyes from the sourness. "What? Are you interested in this matter? Is it useful?"

Sarah chuckled sullenly, "Haven't I still got Benoit? I just want to make good use of this matter."

"You didn't know, last time at the V's house, Benoit bought all the bags in the store and gave them to your sister. I was so envious."

"Wait, the whole store?!" Monica exclaimed, sitting up straight.

"Yes!" Sarah said sourly, "If this continues, your sister will know no bounds, and she'll trample all over you!"

"No way!" Monica slapped the table, "I'm telling you this! Go and tell my brother-in-law!"

After a pause, Monica squinted her eyes and said mysteriously.

"I'm not sure about the specifics. My second brother helped my sister handle this. He didn't want to reveal anything.

But I heard from my mom that the student with the surname Qi almost assaulted my sister, almost had his way with her.

He said he didn't succeed, but the whole process was torturous, you know what I mean. That student was very twisted."

Monica exaggeratedly retold the story.

Actually, she had no idea whether that student actually took off Queenie's clothes.

But judging from the family's reaction back then, it was probably close.

Sarah covered her mouth in shock, "Oh my god! They say Benoit is very sensitive about this."

Monica thought for a moment and nodded heavily, "Yes, my brother Jeremy said Benoit is especially protective of his possessions. Not just people, but his things too!"

Sarah smirked, "Alright. I'll go ask Kim about Benoit's whereabouts. Monica, you wait for good news."

Kim was a small-time thug that Sarah had met at the nightclub.

She relied on him to find out about Benoit's whereabouts.

Monica smirked with satisfaction.

‘Queenie, let's see how arrogant you can be in front of me now!’

I don't believe that your fate can be happier than mine!

On the other hand, Queenie was restless all day long.

After returning to the apartment and telling Benoit about her business trip, she locked herself in her room.

Queenie clearly had something on her mind, and Benoit was not at ease either.

The atmosphere in the whole house became heavy.

The next day, Benoit personally accompanied Queenie to the West District's train station.

Before entering the station, Benoit tightly held Queenie's hand, his deep gaze filled with determination, "Queenie, I'll say it again. I am your husband, and I can protect you. No matter what you're facing, you can tell me. You can always trust me."

Benoit's voice was as warm as a mountain breeze, giving off a sense of stability.

Queenie's heart warmed slightly, and she forced a smile and nodded, "Okay."

Benoit watched Queenie enter the station and glanced at Manley, "Did you arrange for someone to protect Queenie?"

"Yes, I arranged for Kate Gibbson to accompany Queenie on her business trip. Kate is a woman, and she's trained in self-defense," Manley replied.

"Following Queenie is more convenient," Benoit nodded, feeling a slight discomfort in his chest.

Manley pushed him away from the train station and said as they walked, "Benoit, at 10 o'clock this morning, you have a meeting to discuss the project on North Hill..."

"Cancel it."

Manley: ?

"Buy another train ticket, we're accompanying Queenie on her business trip."

Manley: !

"And, have someone bring my business clothes and bring General as well!"

Manley: ??

"Don't waste any time!" Benoit tightened his grip, feeling a subtle uneasiness in his heart.

Two hours later, Benoit and Manley boarded the train to West District.

Not long after, Lilith's nephew Daniel and Sarah also set off for West District.
