Chapter 260
Jason and Sharon liked Stacey very much, as well as Lillian and Kevin. They insisted that Stacey, Lillian, and Kevin stay at their house for a few days. Stacey could not resist their enthusiasm and could only agree in the end.
As for the Carter family, Patrick and Debra did not mind at all when they knew that Stacey would be staying in Hoggard Manor for a few days with Lillian and Kevin. They were even happy about it and told Stacey not to worry. They said that she should relax and stay there for a few days since the Hoggard family welcomed her and that if it was not convenient for her to look after Lillian and Kevin, she could send them back earlier or ask the Carter family to pick them up.
After hearing what Patrick and Debra said, Stacey was speechless. But she could also understand their feelings because Hayden was indeed a good man.
In the next few days, Stacey settled down in Hoggard Manor. Jeremy had plenty of territories here. He used to forbid others to enter his territories in the past, but now, he happily showed Becky around and told her why he regarded these spots as his secret bases.
Lillian and Kevin were also attracted by the story of Jeremy’s secret bases. They liked to cling to Jeremy and ask him about it.
While their life here was getting happier, Queenie’s situation was not good on the other side.
After being warned by Hayden that day, Queenie still did not want to give up. She was reluctant to leave the gate of Hoggard Villa until a few hours later when Hudson suddenly called and anxiously asked her to go home.
When Queenie returned home, Hudson told her to stop pestering the Hoggard family. She was shocked and could not believe it, but Hudson quickly explained the reason to her.
Hayden’s assistant had just contacted Hudson and given him a final warning, asking him to keep an eye on Queenie and stop her from harassing the Hoggard family. Otherwise, the Hoggard family would use their connections to ban the Leavey family.
The Leavey family was also a prominent family in Strico with extensive businesses, but their businesses were incomparable to those of the Hoggard family. The Leavey family would likely be finished if the Hoggard family really used their connections to suppress
them.
Queenie’s mind suddenly went blank after she heard Hudson’s words. She was confused and lost, and she could not accept it She still wanted to go to Hoggard Villa again and even intended to go to Alagua City. Christmas was coming soon. She knew that the Hoggard family had a tradition of returning to their hometown in Alagua City for Christmas, and she had been there with Jeremy before.
But this time, Queenie was stopped by Gavin before she could leave the house. She was no longer allowed to go to find Hayden, nor did she need to anymore. Everyone knew that the Hoggard family had completely abandoned her. Her pestering would not work. Instead, it would completely offend the Hoggard family. The Leavey family could not afford to offend the Hoggard family now. That was why Hayden had only asked his assistant to pass a message to Hudson, and she was forbidden to pester him again.
At this moment, Queenie suddenly thought of what Hayden had said to her several times. He had not made things difficult for her and had tried not to make her look bad before because she was Jeremy’s mother, and her bad reputation might affect Jereiny in the future. However, she was foolish and ungrateful. She pretended not to understand his warning and kept pestering him until he was pissed off.
As Queenie was thinking about it, she suddenly burst into tears. She returned to her room alone and cried loudly. After a while, Florine came in and comforted her gingerly.
Queenie felt that her heart and head hurt. She did not know what was wrong with her and why she could not do anything right. ‘Am I really a loser as Edith said?‘ she wondered. “Mom, am I useless? I can’t do anything right,” she asked and sobbed.
Florine quickly comforted Queenie, “No, it’s not your fault. Queenie, what happened in the past is all over. Before… it was my fault. I didn’t expect the Hoggard family to be so heartless. It has nothing to do with you.”

Queenie laughed at herself. “Mom, I am useless. I used to be wicked before. That’s why they hate me so much.”

Florine sighed. Then, she took a tissue and carefully wiped Queenie’s tears. “It is normal to make some mistakes when you are young. It is okay as long as you can correct your mistakes. Queenie, you are still young, and we can find another man for you even if you can’t remarry Hayden. With our family’s connections, it will not be difficult to find you a good man.”
“But nobody can be better than Hayden,” Queenie said. Hayden’s family background, status, character, and ability were all the best. At least in Zentiscape, they would not be able to find anyone better.
Florine fell silent when she heard this. After a long time, she sighed. “Let bygones be bygones. Maybe… you and he are really not meant for each other.”
Queenie was silent for a long time before she spoke seriously. “Mom, I hate Stacey!”
Florine was at a loss for words. She kept quiet for a while and finally advised with mixed feelings, “Queenie, although the Carter family is not a big deal, Stacey’s grandmother and Hayden’s grandmother are good friends, and Hayden is now in love with Stacey. Let’s not mess with them unnecessarily.” She took Queenie’s hand and continued cautiously and seriously, “Queenie, be good. Take advantage of this incident to give in to your grandpa and then ask him to let you work in the company. He adores you much. You can definitely inherit the Leavey family’s business if you work hard and perform well in the company.”
“But if I don’t remarry Hayden, my uncle and his family will definitely not agree to let me join the company,” said Queenie worriedly
Florine’s eyes flashed with cruelty for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She held Queenie’s hand and uttered solemnly in a low voice, “Don’t worry about them. Your grandpa is in charge of the company now. There will be no problem as long as he lets you join the company. Queenie, your grandpa is getting older. If he has Alzheimer’s disease in a few years, his words will be useless. Be sensible. You should hurry and get into the company while he still has a say and can control your uncle’s family, then find a way to get the inheritance right of the Leavey family.”
