Dylan assessed the situation and cleared his throat, demanding attention.
“If the both of you have plans of getting married, I’ll do whatever I can to convince Dad. As for your background… Well, I don’t think he’d mind it after all.”
Queenie was overjoyed when she heard Dylan’s remarks. She was so happy that she nearly jumped in glee, shaking Conan’s arm excitedly.
“Conan! Since Dylan’s already given us his blessings, let’s hurry up and plan our wedding! I’m looking forward to getting married to you! I-”
Suddenly, there was the sound of a loud slap.
Conan had dealt a hard slap to Queenie’s cheek. The slap was so loud that it bounced off the walls and reverberated inside the entire office building.
Everyone present immediately gasped in shock. Meanwhile the smile on Queenie’s face had completely disappeared.
She stood frozen in place like a statue, staring at Conan in disbelief.
“Conan…”
Conan was glaring back at her emotionlessly. Queenie’s pale lips began to tremble.
Conan then inhaled deeply and said in the coldest voice I’d ever heard, “When did I ever say that I would marry you?
“The only person I have ever loved is Sabrina and Sabrina alone! Don’t think too highly of yourself!”
Queenie was completely dumbstruck. Tears gathered in her eyes as she nursed her swollen cheek, her brows knitting together pitifully.
“C–Conan… You used to treat me so well and always took my side… Why are you saying such things to me now?”
Her voice then turned hysterical as she pointed at me. “How is this bitch better than me?”
When Conan heard this, he scoffed and chuckled coldly. “You were never better than her.
“I was only being nice to you to make her jealous. But now, all because of you, she’s fucking gone and married someone else!”
This was the first time everyone, including me, heard Conan swear.
Conan seemed to realize his slip of the tongue and forced himself to calm down. He then turned to look to the side. and said, “Leave. Don’t let me ever see you again.”
