Chapter 191
In Sanders Hotel, Queenie waited at the door of Hayden’s room for a long time until 8:30. It was very late, and no one from the room came out. She was starting to feel hungry and wanted something to eat. Queenie didn’t look well at that moment. “How could Hayden still be asleep? Could it be… that he has already gotten up and left the room? she wondered.
Thinking about this possibility made Queenie very anxious. Besides meeting Hayden, she also had the task of attending Eklonna’s new product launch event with him while she was in Daprein.
A few years ago, her parents had broken up with her due to her stubbornness. Everyone felt that her parents had no heirs and she wasn’t suitable to inherit the Leavey family business. Her uncle’s family even seized the opportunity to stir up her grandfather’s prejudice against her family, hoping to get him to give all the shares of the company to her uncle and not leave anything for her family since they had no successor. Her grandfather placed great importance on continuing the family live, and when her uncle encouraged her grandfather, the latter wavered.
In the past two years, her grandfather had quietly asked her father to give some management rights of the companies to her uncle. Her uncle openly used these management rights to create opportunities for his daughter, letting her gain experience. with the company’s operations. Now everyone in the company knew that her uncle was grooming her cousin Edith Leavey as the future heir of the Leavey family.
Now that Queenie had returned to the Leavey family, her first task was to prove herself as a legitimate heir. But she didn’t
company. but have many choices. Her grandfather didn’t trust her, and her parents wanted to arrange for her to work in the her grandfather wouldn’t agree. The trust between her and her grandfather was minimal.
Moreover, her uncle’s family was always inside her grandfather’s ear, speaking ill of her. They claimed that if he handed all the family’s wealth over to her, it would be ruined.
Among the options available to her, remarrying Hayden was the best one. If she could remarry him, the Hoggard family would be her support and also the backbone of the Leavey family. At that point, her grandfather would surely restore his trust in her and allow her to join the company.
But remarrying Hayden was a real challenge. Even though she and her mother had resolved to make it happen, they knew they had to try various ways to gain Hayden’s consent. They understood that given the Hoggard family’s position, it would be unrealistic for them to quickly win Hayden’s agreement to remarry. Patience and time would be necessary to achieve
this.
The most important thing she needed to do right now was to strengthen her connection with Hayden, like attending the Eklonna product launch event. If she could be seen at the new product launch event with Hayden, everyone would know that a reconciliation was possible. Her grandfather wouldn’t be as vigilant or indifferent toward her then.
Queenie initially thought she could easily attend the new product launch event with Hayden as long as she followed him. After all, as a man, Hayden wouldn’t want to go physical with a woman. But now… ‘Has he really left? If Hayden has truly gone out early in the morning, where could he possibly be?‘ she wondered.
Anxiety bubbled within her as she stared at Hayden’s door for a moment before gritting her teeth and hurrying away.
Although the Leavey family wasn’t qualified to receive an invitation to Eklonna’s new product launch event, it wouldn’t be hard to find out where the event was taking place.
The launch was scheduled for 10 a.m., and it was only past 8 o’clock now. It was still early, so Hayden likely wasn’t there yet. As long as she waited at the entrance of the venue of the new product launch event, Hayden would surely come soon.
When she and Hayden got married, they had invited many guests. Plenty of people in their social circle were aware of their previous relationship, and someone like Hayden wouldn’t embarrass her in public, as it would damage his reputation.

This was just how society worked. If a man were openly disrespectful to a woman, he would be judged harshly by others, regardless of the context.
The priority now was her makeup. Since she had to attend Eklona’s new product launch event, she needed to look presentable and not embarrass the Hoggard family. With this thought in mind, Queenie rushed out to find a styling shop. “Miss, help me out! I need the best makeup for Eklomma’s new product launch event!” Queenie exclaimed as she barged in.
The boss of Anna Style. Anna, was taken aback. ‘Eklonna’s new product launch event? she thought. In Daprein, Eklonna was known to be the most influential name in accessories, something that ordinary people could only aspire to. Many common brands imitated Eklonna’s designs, but imitation was just that–nothing compared to the real thing.
“Hello?” Queenie frowned when Anna seemed lost in thought.
Anna Style’s boss Anna snapped back to reality and quickly agreed, “Yes! Of course!” She was thrilled. “Miss, you… are you attending Eklonna’s new product launch?”
Eklonna was exclusive to royalty. Anna had never imagined she would meet someone qualified to attend such an event in her lifetime–it was exhilarating
Queenie paused for a moment and nodded. “Yes”
Anna was even more excited now. She hurried to prepare the best products in the store to do Queenie’s makeup. “Ms. Leavey, these are the finest items in our shop. I’m lending them to you to create your perfect look. But I do have a small request. Would you mind?” Anna said, her excitement tempered with caution.
Queenie glanced at the clock, realizing time was running out. She urged, “Hurry! The new product launch event will start soon. I won’t waste your time; I’ll definitely pay for everything!”
With that, Anna began to work on Queenie’s makeup as quickly as she could. While applying the makeup, Anna explained, “Miss, today’s makeup is on the house, but I hope you can wear it at Eklonna’s event and send me some pictures from there, okay?”
Eklonna’s new product launch event was a high–profile event, and if someone attended it looking fabulous thanks to her work, Anna would be thrilled to share that accomplishment with her friends in the industry.
Queenie felt a pang of annoyance. She didn’t like the feeling of being taken advantage of, but time was tight. “Okay,” she agreed, though reluctantly.
All she could hope for now was that the makeup artist could finish quickly. She needed to get to the event early; otherwise, she’d risk being late and missing Hayden.
