Chapter 284 Encounter

Queenie didn’t dare to call the police. Once Callie’s incident got out, she’d be blacklisted from the entertainment industry for good.

She switched topics and casually mentioned Paige. “Hey, Frank. has Paige been bothering you since you got back?”

Frank flashed a mischievous grin. “No. She’s always going on about how wicked Elsie is. Well, I sent her a wedding invite. I want her to witness how happy Elsie and I are together. I want her to move on completely.

“Elsie’s the one I love. No matter what Paige does, she’ll never change my feelings.”

After his words, Frank felt satisfied, but there was also a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Deep down, he felt let down. Paige hadn’t shown up.

In the past, whenever he returned, Paige would rush to see him. concerned about him.

During the year he was away, Frank hadn’t reached out to Paige. While he used to find her annoying, her absence now left him feeling uneasy.

As his wedding day approached, Frank felt depressed. When he

wasn’t with Elsie, he wanted to be by her side every moment.

But now, he missed Paige’s affection and care.

When he sent Paige a wedding invitation, she was quite calm.

Recalling Paige’s past kindness and her current absence, Frank couldn’t help but feel sad.

Paige had been obsessed with him. They were not just classmates; they were also desk buddies.

They had gone to high school and college together.

For six years, Paige had been by his side, bringing him breakfast every day and showing genuine care.

Yet, Frank never reciprocated her feelings. Perhaps her forwardness had made him uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, Frank felt something had changed within him since that night.

Their separation saddened him deeply.

Queenie said, “Frank, Diana and Paige are close. Be cautious; don’t let Paige set you up. Gale once fell victim to Diana and Althea’s schemes.

“If it weren’t for that incident, Gale and Penelope would have been married.

“But Gale now…” Queenie feigned regret.

That incident was almost discovered, but she managed to keep it under wraps.

Diana suspected her involvement but lacked evidence.

While Diana had a recording, Gale didn’t believe her.

Frank whispered to comfort her, “Queenie, don’t worry about me. I’m not as naive as Gale.”

Queenie smiled. He was even naiver and believed her unconditionally.

She was determined to help Gale be the heir to the Marsh family.

Unexpectedly, while dining with Elsie at a restaurant, Frank ran into Diana and Paige, who were having dinner together.

Paige, clad in a black suit, sat beside Diana.

Diana was very surprised upon seeing Paige. “Paige, it’s been months. You’re like a whole new person.”

Gone was her youthful look; her hair was now cropped short, and she appeared slimmer.

She had delicate features and exquisite makeup. If Diana bumped into her on the street, she might not recognize her at first glance.

A year of business experience had sharpened Paige’s gaze, lending her an air of resolve. She carried herself with a pride that was confident but not boastful, her overall demeanor exuding an unexpected charm.

Paige smiled faintly. “Diana, you’ve changed too. Stay away from jerks, and we could both live well.”

Diana had changed. Her newfound strength and composure were seemingly rooted deep within her.

When Frank and Elsie entered, they saw Diana and Paige engaged in a lively conversation.
