As she reached the door, she could faintly hear Oscar talking to his secretary.


    Secretary: "Ms. Spencer just ran out crying. She seemed quite upset."


    Oscar: "Ignore her. She''s so stupid, I have no idea what Matthew ever saw in her."


    "I heard Mr. Gonzalez broke off his engagement with Yvonne for her. You think he''s got a screw loose?" the secretary said, tapping his head.


    "Maybe it was true love," Oscar sneered.


    Queena ran to her room and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing hysterically.


    Finally, exhausted from crying, her eyes were swollen and red.


    But she was no longer the pampered youngdy of the Spencer family, whose every tear was met with doting parents, a concerned brother, and an obedient Matthew.


    Queena took out her phone and instinctively dialed Matthew''s number, only to get a message that the number was disconnected. She then remembered: after hispany went bankrupt, Matthew couldn''t make it in Istra anymore. He had taken his mother and sister and moved away to start over, deactivating his old phone number.


    She then tried calling Teresa and Jeffrey, only to discover they had blocked her number long ago.


    The thought of Oscar sending her back to Dave made her tremble with fear. After much hesitation, she finally dialed Yvonne''s number.


    Yvonne was quite surprised to receive a call from Queena.


    Queena wanted to meet, but the Rogers family was keeping a tight leash on her.


    "Mr. Walker Sr.''s birthday is at the end of the month. I''ll be attending the Walker family''s party with Oscar. We can find a chance to meet there," Queena whispered, covering the phone.


    "Getting an invitation to the Walker family''s party will be a hassle. Queena, we''re not exactly friends. It doesn''t seem worth the effort just to meet you."


    Yvonne repliedzily.


    Queena grew agitated. "Yvonne, I know you''re investigating the Rogers family. I have evidence of their crimes. If you meet me, I can give it In you But if


    You don''te tell


    Oscar that you''re investigating them, and he definitely won''t let you off the hook."


    Yvonne paused for a moment in thought before replying, "Fine."


    After ending the call, Yvonne tossed her phone aside and looked at Sandra, who was sitting across from her.


    Sandra had a rare day off, and the two had arranged to meet at a coffee shop across from Cherry Apartment.


    "Get me an invitation to the Walker family''s party. Queena wants to meet me there," Yvonne said after taking a sip of her coffee.


    "Queena wants to meet you? What if it''s a trap?" Sandra asked, concerned.


    "I doubt it." Yvonne narrowed her


    Yvonne


    eyes, thinking. "The Walkers'' eldest daughter is a director at the health department, which directly overseès the Rogers family''s hospitals. As audacious as Osearfs, he wouldn''t dare cause trouble at a Walker family event."


    "Then what''s her motive? Surely she hasn''t had a crisis of conscience and decided


    to be aw-abiding citizen by handing over evidence against the Rogers


    family."


    Sandra said with a mix of confusion and disdain.


    Yvonne exined, "Dave is constantly causing trouble, and Oscar is definitely ming Queena for it. Her life must be miserable, so she''s looking for a way out."


    Sandra replied, "Let''s hope she has what we need."


    The Walkers, being in public service,


    were always discreet. The birthday party wouldn''t be avish affair like Mr. James Sr.''s, but rather an intimate gathering of friends and rtives.
