Chapter 623 Looks Like I’ll Have To Force You To Talk
The atmosphere in the room became stifling due to Queenie's sudden arrival.
"... Why is it you?" Allison wanted to get up from the bed.
However, Queenie pinned herdown by the shoulders.
Queenie smiled ambiguously as she looked at Allison's well-maintained face. "I'm not going to waste my time with you today,
Allison. I only want to ask you something that happened more than twenty years ago. We’ve been friends for a very long time,
and you should know what I want to ask. I hope that you can give me an honest answer today."
Allison glanced at Queenie. "We haven't been friends since a long time ago, and I don't think we have any shared memories
worth remembering."
Queenie glared profoundly at Allison. "Of course, I want to know where you hid my daughter when I gave birth to her so many
years ago."
Allison's heart skipped a beat.
She tried to calm herself down and said, "I think you've lost your mind, Queenie. I've told you that Dr. Lane disposed of your baby
back then. How would I know what happened to the baby? Oh, wait... didn't I tell you that she threw your baby into the
dumpster? I thought I told you that before. Also, this is your final warning not to harass me again. Otherwise, I'll call the police. I
don't think it'll look good on you if other people find out that the wife of the Provincial Committee Secretary harasses a law-
abiding citizen."
Queenie gritted her teeth as she looked at Allison's shameless expression. Her gaze was cold and angry. "If this is how you want
to do it, then I won't play nice either. Why should I care about our past friendship if you don't? My poor birth daughter is innocent,
but you killed her right after she was born. I was blind to treat a wicked woman like you as my best friend! Why did you do that?"
Allison tried to keep calm as she laughed loudly. "Heh! Do you think that I actually want to be friends with you? We've grown up
together, and I don't think that you're better than me. In fact, I’m better than you in certain aspects, so why do all the good men
go after you while I only get scumbags? That's right. I've always envied you ever since back then. I envy your good luck, and I
envy that you get to marry an influential husband. As for me, I can only be a mistress, and my son was branded as an illegitimate
child when he was born. Do you think that I can be happy?"
Allison's expression became colder as she looked at Allison's face that was contorted out of anger. "I'll give you one last chance,
Allison Tanner. All I want is to reunite with my daughter. If you can honestly tell me where my daughter is, I'll forgive you for
everything that you've done. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you! You abducted my daughter and lied to me about her
whereabouts. Don't you know that you've committed a serious crime? Do you want everyone in A City to know that the mother of
Luke Crawford is a criminal?" i
Allison laughed as if she heard a joke. "Oh? I'd like to see what you can do to me! Do you want to tell the police that I've
abducted your daughter?
Please, Queenie, use your business acumen and high intelligence and think about it for a second. Would there still be any
evidence of a crime committed more than twenty years ago? You can bring me to the police, but you'd better have evidence!"
Queenie glanced at Allison and said ominously, "You said that you've broken all ties with Dr. Vyen Lane, but why did I hear from
Shakira that you were wrestling with her in front of a store? Stop lying to me, Allison Tanner. I used to be fooled by you, but I
won't believe in your lies now! I'm here to look for you because Jack has already found Dr. Lane's overseas address. The truth
will eventually prevail, and considering that we used to be good friends, I'd rather not implicate you in the scandal. All I want is to
hear the truth from you, and it's up to you if you want to grab the opportunity."
Allison was flustered when she heard that Queenie had found Vyen's whereabouts. However, she considered the possibility that
Allison was only bluffing her...
She remained stubborn. "Let me tell you one last time, Queenie Ziegler, I don't know where your daughter is. You can go and ask
Vyen Lane if you wish."
Queenie stared into Allison's guilty eyes. "I've heard that T Corporation is in the middle of a collaborative urban reconstruction
project with Vivi Group, and all their finances are tied up there. Tell me, Allison, if I get Jack to mess around with it, will the
project be completed in time, hmm?"
Allison sprang from the bed like a spring.
She stared at Queenie's gentle face in disbelief and said shrilly, "What... what do you want to do? Do you want to use Mr.
Norman's authority to oppress me? That's not how you usually do things, Queenie. How can you be so underhanded..."
Queenie stood up abruptly and towered over her like a noble queen. "How dare you say that I am underhanded? You've lost my
daughter more than twenty years ago. What else can be more underhanded than that? You won't talk unless you're forced to,
and it seems that I have been too merciful to you in the past. If that's the case, you'll just have to wait and see!"
She glared at Allison one last time, then turned around elegantly and left.
Allison's jealousy flared again as she watched Queenie's delicate body leave the room.
She had an ominous feeling about that threat.
However, she soon forgot about it.
After all, she had a very capable son who could solve any problem.
T Corporation.
The urban reconstruction project was being carried out in full swing. It was more than halfway complete. Suddenly, they received
some bad news from higher management. Apparently, T Corporation did not receive the necessary approvals and licenses from
the Department of Urban Planning, and the project was considered illegal.
Meanwhile, certain sections of the project that had received approval were said to violate the construction code, such as building
extra buildings, using the wrong materials, and that certain projects were mere facades. The authorities issued a stop-work
order, and T Corporation was to await punishment.
T Corporation had no choice but to pause the project.
