Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 425

The color drained from Queenie’s face. Her lips were quivering as she tried to explain herself. “T-That’s not what happened. I didn’t do that… I just wanted to—”

“Wanted to do what?” Gordon narrowed his eyes. “It seems to me that you were too afraid to offend Aidan, so you decided to make me do the dirty work for you!”

Queenie was so terror-stricken by Gordon’s shouting that she nearly stopped breathing. Her body was shaking violently, and she didn’t know what to say.

Just then, Justin appeared behind her and addressed her calmly. “Don’t be scared. Come on. You can stand up and take your time to explain.”

Queenie was startled. She turned around and her pupils widened, but she still didn’t dare to move.

Justin smiled and held his hand out to her.

Queenie stared at his hand and hesitated for quite some time before gingerly holding his hand and getting back to her feet.

At the same time, Gordon called out in dissatisfaction, “Justin, not everyone deserves your kindness.”

“There might be some kind of misunderstanding,” Justin said. “Didn’t we find out that a man got the reporter to sneak into the house?”

“He’s probably her accomplice!”

Justin turned to Queenie. “There’s still time. Go ahead and tell us what happened. Don’t worry. We won’t make things difficult for you if you’re not the one behind this.”

Queenie stood beside Justin and bit her lip. At last, she said, “I’m not the one who did it… I don’t know what happened, I swear…”

Gordon banged his walking stick on the floor and roared, “You’re still trying to weasel your way out of it even when the evidence is staring you in the face!”

Queenie jumped in fright and instinctively cowered behind Justin as she hurriedly defended herself. “It has nothing to do with me, but… I know that guy who contacted the reporter. He… he has…”

“He has what?”

“He has been working for Leanna McKinney all along.” Queenie became a lot more composed when she made her mind up to lie about everything. “Also, he was the one who took Leanna away from here last time. I don’t know why you think he’s my accomplice. I think it’s because I offended Leanna during the Designer Competition, so she’s trying to take revenge on me by making these claims…”

Gordon narrowed his eyes. He remained silent for a moment.

There had been a man in the car with Leanna when she left that day.

The color droined from Queenie’s foce. Her lips were quivering os she tried to exploin herself. “T-Thot’s not whot hoppened. I didn’t do thot… I just wonted to—”

“Wonted to do whot?” Gordon norrowed his eyes. “It seems to me thot you were too ofroid to offend Aidon, so you decided to moke me do the dirty work for you!”
