Queenie rose from her dressing table chair after she watched Jack enter the washroom and close the door. She glanced at the door, then turned around. Her gaze fell on the charging phone on the bedside table.

Leia told her that Jack must be hiding something from her when he hid from her to pick up the call earlier.

Queenie was not worried that Jack might be having an affair. They had been a couple for so many years, so she knew what kind of person Jack was. She was sure that he was not that kind of person.

She was just worried that Jack was hiding Bianca's matter from her.

Queenie took a deep breath. She decided to walk toward the bedside table and pick up Jack's phone.

Queenie tapped on the phone's screen. She needed the passcode to unlock Jack's phone, and she knew his passcode. She glanced in the direction of the washroom and chose to key in the passcode. After that, she opened his messages. The chat conversation pinned on top was with her.

Queenie continued to scroll down. Other than the office group chats, the latest message was from Luke.

She tapped on the message with trembling hands. Luke had replied to him: [Alright, Father-in-law.]

Queenie scrolled up, but those were the old messages. She quickly went through the char records but did not find out anything related to Bianca. The messages were mostly about work, as well as some conversations with the seniors and juniors.

Some of them were the audio messages sent by the kids using Luke's phone.

The sound of the running water in the bathroom became softer. Queenie quickly returned to the home screen and continued to charge the phone.

Queenie waited until Jack came out of the bathroom. She looked up and said innocently, “Dear, your phone rang just now. I was curious, so I picked it up and took a look at it."

Jack remained calm when he noticed there were not many changes in Queenie's expression. "Whose message was that?"

"It was Luke's. I opened the chat knowing it was Luke. What did you tell him? Why did he reply to you with just an 'alright'?" Queenie asked. The messages that had been read would not appear in the notifications again. That was why she needed to look for an excuse to tell Jack that she had opened Luke's message. She also wanted to take the chance to see if the two were keeping secrets from her.
