Chapter 213 Pushover
Yuliana followed Callie directly to the third floor. As soon as they reached the stairway, a door opened, and a wine-red figure was thrown out like garbage and slammed on the ground.
Queenie screamed out of reflex. She felt as if her body was falling apart. It hurt so much that it took her a while to return to her senses.
She subconsciously looked at the man at the door. At the same time, the man was looking at her coldly, his face full of disgust. It was as if he was looking at something dirty.
Christopher looked at the woman on the ground and said, “Ms. Hoffman, it’s important to know how to respect yourself. If it happens again, I’ll throw you out of the window instead of the door.” He frowned and flicked his hand as he continued, “You may not fall to death from the third floor, but I’m sure you’ll be paralyzed.”
After he said that, Christopher suddenly realized something. He raised his eyes and saw Callie and Yuliana standing not far away, followed by two people behind them..
He looked at Yuliana subconsciously.
Yuliana also looked at him. Their eyes met briefly before he lifted his legs to walk toward her. She lowered her gaze to look at Queenie on the ground and noticed what she was wearing. Yuliana could imagine what had happened before she arrived.
When he saw Yuliana’s cold expression, Christopher gulped and called out to her in a low voice, “Ana.”
Yuliana glanced at him in silence and then shifted her gaze to Queenie, who was still on the ground.
At that moment, Queenie had already calmed down and understood the surrounding situation. She was no longer the little girl who was terrified and anxious when Callie caught her bullying Aaron.
Callie couldn’t do anything to her.
Queenie slowly got up from the ground, tidied up the shoulder straps of her dress, flipped her hair, and then looked at Yuliana with a smile. “Yuliana, I have a crush on your husband. Please give him to me,” she said fearlessly.
As soon as she was done, Yuliana raised her hand and slapped Queenie.
Queenie’s face was slapped to the side, and she seemed slightly stunned. After two seconds, she slowly turned her head and looked at Yuliana. The smile on her face earlier disappeared. Queenie stared at Yuliana with a cold glint in her eyes. She looked as if she was going to tear Yuliana apart.
Queenie was in disbelief, and her voice was extraordinarily gloomy, “How dare you slap me?” Yuliana felt a burning pain in her palm. She didn’t like to solve problems with violence. She hadn’t even known how she should deal with it when she saw Queenie thrown out of the room by Christopher. However, when Yuliana heard Queenie’s words, she raised her hand and slapped Queenie out of reflex. The burning pain in Yuliana’s palm showed how much force she used.
“Yes, I slapped you. What can you do about it?” Yuliana looked at her coldly. “You’re blatantly trying to steal my husband. Why can’t I slap you?”
Queenie didn’t say anything and only stared at Yuliana for a while. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
There was a height difference between them. Yuliana was slightly taller than Queenie. Even though Yuliana was dressed plainly and Queenie wore an eye-catching wine-red color dress, Yuliana emitted a strong and intimidating aura.
When Queenie raised her hand and was about to slap Yuliana, Christopher grabbed her hand and said, “Ms. Hoffman, if you dare touch her, I’ll make you pay for it.”
With that, he shoved Queenie’s hand away.
Queenie had never been humiliated like this since she was a child. Her emotions began to warp. She stared at Christopher and Yuliana for a long time and laughed chillingly as she said, “Great! I’ll remember the slap today. Yuliana, Christopher, I’ll make the both of you pay sooner or later!”
Then, she gently stroked her face.
With that, she turned around and got ready to leave. However, she saw Callie blocking the stairway and

looking at her coldly. Although Callie didn’t do anything, a wave of fear instantly swept over Queenie.
Queenie stopped and pursed her lips subconsciously.
Callie looked at her for a while, turned to Yuliana and Christopher, and said, “Christopher, you can rest in your room. Ana, come with me.”
Callie shot a look at the butler beside her. The butler immediately understood what she meant. He nodded, walked to Queenie, and said, “Ms. Hoffman, Mrs. Xanthos would like to invite you to the parlor downstairs.” Queenie glared at the butler coldly and said, “I’m not going. What can you do to me?”
The butler smiled indifferently and replied, “Ms. Hoffman, it’s better for you to go down yourself. It may not look good if I have to lay my hands on you.”
Sarah had seen the butler’s capability before. Although Callie was seldom at home, the butler would watch over the family on her behalf and only listened to Callie’s commands. Sarah feared the butler would carry Queenie down if Queenie didn’t obey Callie’s instruction.
After all, the butler was a man, and Queenie was only wearing a strap dress. If the housekeepers saw the scene, Queenie and Tanya would be embarrassed.
Sarah held back her fear for Callie, walked to Queenie, and advised, “Queenie, let’s go.”
Queenie glanced at her. Since Callie had given her a chance, Queenie could only listen to her.
The butler led Queenie and Sarah to the parlor. Callie looked at Yuliana, who was still standing at the door, and said, “Come down with me.”
Her tone left no room for arguments.
Uliana hesitated and followed Callie downstairs.
When they arrived at the parlor, Queenie sat on a chair with her legs crossed, while Sarah nervously stood at the side. The butler stood by the parlor door. After a few minutes, Callie led Yuliana in, followed by two young housekeepers.
Callie glanced at Queenie, went straight to the chair, sat down, and said to the butler, “You can go out first.” The butler nodded, turned around, headed out of the parlor, and closed the door.
When she saw this, Queenie was alerted. She looked at Callie and sneered. She asked, “Mrs. Xanthos, what do you want to do? Are you going to hurt me?”
Callie said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry. I’m not that cruel. Besides, if I hurt you, I can’t explain it to Tanya.” Then she looked at Sarah and said, “Sarah, you’ve been very close to Queenie since both of
you were young. so I’ll let you do it. Take off Queenie’s clothes!”
Before Sarah could react, Queenie stood up and yelled, “Don’t you dare!”
Callie smiled gently at Queenie again. Callie rested her chin on her palm and said gently, “Queenie, I told you many years ago not to mess with me. Or else I’ll make you regret being born into this world. Don’t you remember? Now, you went to my son-in-law’s room under my nose. Do you think I’m a pushover?”
Queenie’s face immediately fell.
Callie then added, “Don’t worry. I’m just going to give you a little punishment today. As long as you cooperate, I promise you can leave the parlor unharmed.”
Queenie looked at Callie and was left speechless.
Sarah was stunned. When she returned to her senses, she looked at Queenie and then at expressionless Callie. Sarah gulped and asked cautiously, “Mrs. Xanthos, w-what are you going to do?”
“You’ll know soon,” Callie replied.
