ut of the car with her friends and hurried toward Queenie. “Ms. Leavey?” Anna asked in Dapreinish in confusion, “The conference has already started. Why are you still at the entrance?”
Queenie was speechless, her face flushed with embarrassment. She had promised to attend Eklonna’s new product launch event, take photos, and send them to Anna. But now, since Hayden hadn’t waited for lier at the door, she hadn’t had a chance to follow him into the conference. Queenie had never felt so embarrassed in her life.
After a moment, she replied in a somewhat lame Dapreinish accent, “Something came up. I missed the entrance time,” Then, Queenie turned to leave.
Anna looked puzzled. Shirley and Monica, who accompanied Anna, were also confused.
Anna hurried to catch up with Queenie and asked, “Ms. Leavey, where are you going?”
Shirley looked back at the security guards at the entrance of the Eklonna venue and whispered to Monica, “She can’t go in without an invitation.”
Although Shirley’s voice was deliberately low, Queenie, walking in front of them, still heard it. Queenie froze for a moment before reaching out her hand to stop a taxi by the roadside.
Anna quickly grabbed Queenie’s arm, saying anxiously, “Ms. Leavey, where are you going? I can take you there!
“No, thanks, Queenie replied coldly.
Anna was speechless.
Monica couldn’t help but interject, “Even if you don’t need it, you should at least return Anna’s dress to her, right?” Monica glanced at the dress Queenie was wearing. She knew it was Anna’s favorite dress and had wanted to borrow it before, but Anna had always been too protective of it. Unexpectedly, she lent it to someone else today.
Queenie’s face darkened at this. She turned to Anna and said sharply. “How much is this dress? I’ll buy it!”
This made Shirley’s expression darken too. She looked at Queere, clearly upset, and said, “This dress is not for sale. It’s a limited edition. There are only five in the world. Anna was lucky to get it after trying for a long time.”
Queenie didn’t respond.
Anna suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. She frowned at Queenie. “Don’t tell me you really don’t have an invitation from Eklonna?”
Queenie’s face fell, her frustration evident. “Who says I don’t? Eklonna invited my husband and me to the new product launch event, but I was late. My husband has already gone in with the invitation.”
Monica smirked, looking Queenie up and down disdainfully. She finally remarked sarcastically, “Your husband? How can you be married to someone like that? Are you hallucinating after eating too many poisonous mushrooms?”
Shirley also mocked, “Yeah. Your husband went in. Just call him and ask him to come out and pick you up. Why are you just standing at the entrance alone?”
Queenie’s face turned red. “L… I just had an argument with my husband. He was angry and didn’t want to talk to me for a while. But once we reconcile, I can definitely go in!” she said angrily.

Chapter 195
Anna, Shirley, and Monica quickly picked up on the key words in Queenie’s statement: “remarry?
“Oh, so you’re divorced? You still call him your husband? I bet he doesn’t want to hear from you, Shirley sneered.
Anna’s irritation grew. She had been excited all morning, selecting her favorite dress and accessories to make Queenie look perfect. Now, she was hit with the truth–this woman didn’t have an invitation from Eklonna at all; she just wanted to shamelessly pester her ex–husband because he had been invited!
Anna, who had always been easy–going, suddenly found herself disliking Queenie more and more. Her face darkened. She grabbed Queenie and started walking to her car.
Seeing Anna’s determination. Queenie panicked and struggled. “What do you want? Let go of me!”
Anna replied unhappily, “I’m not doing anything. I just want to take you back to the store and have Those accessories you’re wearing are mine too. You don’t deserve them!”
you return my dress.
At this, Shirley and Monica couldn’t help but smile sarcastically at Queenie.
Queenie shook off Anna’s hand and snapped back, “It’s just a dress. You can get something similar from a shop nearby!” Upset, Queenie stormed into a nearby shopping mall, randomly picked out a new outfit, and headed to the fitting room. Once inside, she took off all of Anna’s items and put on the new clothes.
When she emerged from the fitting room, Queenie tossed the dress back to Anna angrily. “Here you go!”
Anna loved her dress, and seeing it tossed at her made her even angrier.
She caught it, handed it to Monica, and then marched up to Queenie. Without hesitating, she raised her hand and slapped Queenie hard across the face.
Queenie was stunned, her eyes wide in disbelief.
Anna didn’t want to explain herself any further. She reached for Queenie’s earrings, necklace, and headpiece–all of which were hers.
Queenie had never been treated like this before and immediately tried to fight back. But seeing her friend’s movement, Shirley quickly pressed Queenie d
