Chapter 393

The rain poured heavier gradually. Queenie read the online articles, which were getting on her nerves.

Once the car halted in front of the hotel, she hurriedly entered the building with an umbrella. She covered her face with it throughout the whole walk and did not even keep her umbrella in the elevator.

She looked at him coldly. “Just what do you want?”

“Nevertheless, congratulations on your win,” said Elliot as he raised her wine glass for her.
