“I’ll go and see who’s at the door! Miss Queenie, please sit down and rest.” After saying that, Courtney hurried to the door. It didn’t take long for her to guide a man carrying a large box into the house. Queenie stood up in astonishment. “Mr. Reeves!”

“Miss Silverstein, is Mr. Manson here?” Ashley asked. “Yes. He’s resting upstairs. Did he ask you to come?”

“That’s right. Mr. Manson asked me to deliver a box of things to him. In that case, I’ll be going upstairs first!” After saying that, he changed into a pair of indoor flip-flops and immediately headed upstairs. “It’s the room on the left on the third floor,” she responded.

Ashley responded affirmatively. After arriving on the third floor, he knocked on the door to the left. The door opened, and Nigel stepped out from the room. He glanced at the box in Ashley’s hands, but the outer packaging made it difficult for anybody to see what was contained inside the box. Nevertheless, he reached out to take the box from Ashley and said, “Alright, you may return now!”

Queenie was stunned. Just what did Nigel ask Ashley to deliver? It’s such a large box, but I can’t see what’s inside from the outer packaging alone.

At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from the yard. Both Queenie and Courtney walked over and looked outside at the same time. They were greeted by the sight of Brandon driving in the driver’s seat and Maggie sitting in the passenger’s seat. Both of them seemed to be rather furious about something.

“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong? Is Leslie not coming?” Queenies asked curiously.

Maggie angrily snapped, “Don’t even mention it! We have completely severed all ties with the Paynes. They’ve gone too far! We only wanted Leslie to come over and testify for us, but the Paynes refused to let him come.”
