The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 224: Alfred’s Plan

"Serious? Upright?" John muttered under his breath. "She's the most flirtatious one I've ever met."

Of course, he didn't say it out loud. He could tell from Angela's tone that she held deep respect for her master.

Back home.

Queenie sat elegantly on the sofa with her legs crossed. The black pants she wore hugged her long, slender legs, emphasizing her graceful outline.

John pushed the door open and walked in.

When Queenie looked up and saw him, her eyes lit up. She shifted to the side and patted the spot next to her. "Come here, Little John. I have something to discuss with you."

Angela quietly returned to her room.

Puzzled, John sat beside Queenie, still feeling the warmth left behind by her. "What is it, Queenie?"

She seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. Smiling faintly, she said, "The Kelvin family in Chicago offered to transfer their business to Queenie Group. Do you think I should accept?"

Thanks to John's actions in Chicago last time, he had earned Alfred's respect.

In fact, Alfred had even gone to the Yeats family in New York to ask about him. Marcia told him that John was very likely to become their grandson-in-law.

Hearing this, Alfred was overjoyed.

Who was John?

A peerless martial master—respected even by the Eastern Martial Arts League!

So truthfully, it wasn't so much that the Kelvin family was giving the business to Queenie, but rather to John. If Queenie and John got married, everything she owned would eventually belong to him.

With John's support, the Kelvin family's position in Chicago would be unshakable for at least the next hundred years. Expanding into Houston afterward would be a breeze.

And, of course, Alfred had grown increasingly disappointed in Tanner's behavior. Giving the family business to Queenie was better than handing it to Tanner or any of the others.

If Queenie refused the offer...

He'd rather give the company to Nick—the same person he'd always looked down on.

That was Alfred's plan, and Adams, Marcia's grandfather, completely supported it.

When Queenie learned of this, she immediately came to John for advice.

"Isn't it a good thing?" John asked. "It means Queenie Group has a bright future. One day, it could become a household name in the US—or even the world."

With the right effort, the Queenie Group's facial mask product, Beauty, had the potential to become a global top-tier brand.

"I know," Queenie said slowly. "But everything that's happened lately makes me feel like I'm dreaming. That's what worries me."

Just three months ago, the Queenie Group was a small New York company. Now it had exploded in size, valued at over a billion.

It all felt surreal.

The Rochester branch had only just been set up. She worried she wouldn't have the time or energy to also manage the Kelvin family's business.

"Queenie, believe in yourself. The Queenie Group will become a famous enterprise. And when it does, you'll have to take on more responsibility. If it becomes too much, just delegate like Alice does."

"That feels a little irresponsible..." Queenie frowned.

As she thought it over, she suddenly felt someone push her knees apart. Startled, she reflexively kicked John.

"What are you doing?" she demanded, both angry and embarrassed.

"You're worried that taking over the Kelvin family is too big of a step," John said calmly. "So I just wanted to prove something to you."

"Prove what?!"

"That your long legs are very flexible—so there's no need to worry."

If she was strong enough, no challenge was too great.

Queenie's pretty face turned red. She let out a deep breath and said, "Is that really how you prove things?"

She gave him a sidelong glance. She'd been completely caught off guard earlier—while calmly sitting on the sofa, John had suddenly spread her knees apart. How could she not react?

But she didn't stay angry for long. She knew the kind of person John was.

After a moment, she gave a mischievous smile.

"Little John, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Seeing her playful, secretive expression, John's curiosity was piqued.

"Your sister Anita is filming a new show. Queenie Group happens to be one of the sponsors. Do you want me to get you a small role in it? She'll be scared out of her mind when she sees you!"

"Queenie, you always look so cool and composed on the outside... but you're the most mischievous one of all the sisters!" John exclaimed.

She had definitely planned to startle Anita!

Now John seriously doubted whether her aloof demeanor was all an act.

"How dare you slander me?"

Queenie kicked off her high heels and pressed her snow-white feet right into John's mouth.

Yep, John thought silently. I was right.
