My Second Husband novel Chapter 1190

Culver's way of punishing the two men had agitated Evan.

Hearing that he was next, Evan stuttered in terror.

"It's my fault for not maintaining my subordinates well and causing this misunderstanding. Either way, I'm still your senior, so you-"

Culver sneered, "Senior? Are you sure you're qualified to be regarded as my senior?"

Evan's heart sank in an instant.

He quickly looked at Queenie, who had been standing next to him without saying anything.

"I'm Queenie's uncle. The relationship between the Louis family and the Zac family has always been good. You and Queenie are so close now, hence you have to let her save face, right? Queenie, say something!"

At the moment, Queenie was also a bundle of nerves.

She considered herself to be quite sophisticated. After all, she had socialized with the upper class many times. Besides, she reckoned that she knew what kind of person Culver was.

With that being said, how Culver treated those two

men still filled her with fear.

He didn't become hysterical, nor did he have a fierce look on his face. All he did was just sit there, yet the leisurely look in his eyes was enough to make people's blood run cold.

Consequently, she forgot to speak.

It was only when Evan called out to her that she came to her senses and tried to say something to help Evan.

"Culver, I-"

Culver questioned her sternly, "Are you sure you want to intercede with me on his behalf? Before this, there hasn't been any enmity between the Louis family and I. Why did Evan suddenly start to harm the people I associate myself with? You're here too. It's very difficult for me to not assume that you two are working together."

Queenie panicked, "No! I'm not involved in his plot. It has nothing to do with me!"

It had taken her a lot of effort to finally form ties with Culver. The news of both of them being together had also been spread throughout Greene City. If anything were to happen and affect their relationship at the moment, not only would she become the subject of local gossip, her parents might not spare her too.

She would not allow such a thing to occur.

"Are you absolutely certain that you're not involved in this at all?"

Queenie pursed her lips. She faced the dilemma of lying to Culver or facing his wrath at present. Either way, it would be an irredeemable mistake for her.

However, she had no option but to choose one of them.

She would, of course, choose the most favorable answer.

"Yes, I'm certain."

She nodded, "I didn't know anything about his plan."

Evan was not a man to be trifled with. He was incensed by Queenie's decision to brush off her responsibilities.

As a matter of fact, the friendship between businessmen was nothing more than mutual benefit.

If the mutual benefit was gone, then the friendship between the two of them would no longer be there.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you know about this? In the very beginning, you were the one who told me the relationship between Naomi and Culver. You've always been telling me that we can't let that girl get away!"

"Uncle Evan, why are you defaming me right now?"

Queenie began to complain at once, "I have a good relationship with Culver, and Naomi is his friend. Why would I do such a stupid thing and ruin my relationship with him?"

"Because you were jealous, you..."

Then, the two of them started to fight like cats and dogs.

Culver was not in a hurry. He just sat there leisurely and listened to them for a while before he got up.

"That's enough! You two can stop now. I still have something to do. I have to go first!"

Queenie and Evan both breathed a sigh of relief, and she ran over to him quickly.

"Culver, I'll leave with you."

"No! I advise you to make a call and have your chauffeur pick you up. I'm afraid that you will be in danger after I leave."

Queenie was befuddled as she asked, "Why?"
