Love My Friends with Benefits

Chapter 16: The Wedding Approaches

"Let's talk about this some other time. Phoebe and Leonard's wedding is in a week's time and there's

no way I can just watch them get married like that. Are you going to help me or not?"

I laid my cards on the table to see how May would react.

"Queena, you're my best friend. How could I not help?"

I could not help grinning at May's answer. This was how she was. Despite her scolding and nagging,

she would still help me.

May asked, "So what's the next step in your plan?"

"First things first, we need to find out where the wedding's going to be held. There's no way I can allow

it to go on without a hitch and give the Jones family something to be smug about. I want to make it the

laughingstock of the city."

"Looks like you already have something in mind. Spill it..."

May looked at me with interest. I motioned to her and she leaned in close to me so I could whisper into

her ear.

After listening to my plan, she could not help bursting into laughter. "You're definitely something! That's

a really bold move!"

"It's just that you're going to get into a bit of trouble. Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah, it's fine. It's worth it if it'll help you get some payback."

She immediately agreed to my idea.

After that, I started to gather information about the wedding venue.

After all, Leonard and Phoebe's wedding was a huge event in S City. Once they had decided on a Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

venue, the invitations were sent out.

I managed to find out that the wedding would be held at Kylin Hotel on the 8th of August.

Most of the guests were locally renowned, which was exactly up my alley. Since I wanted to humiliate

Leonard and Phoebe, the more people to witness it, the better.

The only thing that I was worried about was Grandma's situation. Before this, she had advised me to

become stronger as well as to forget about my enmity with the Jones family.

However, everything that I was doing at the moment was going against her wishes. I wondered whether

she would be mad at me if she were to find out.

After the previous incident, there was no way I could get into the Jones family home, but I could not

help worrying about Grandma.

This was also the only reservation I had about getting revenge on the Jones family. I had no choice but

to find out about Grandma's condition from Aunt Nancy.

Therefore, I gave her a call.

When she answered, she sounded a little surprised because I rarely made the first move in calling her.

This was mainly because she spent the bulk of her time overseas. She had only returned because of

Grandma's illness.

Aunt Nancy had a strong, stubborn personality, and she was also an odd woman. In her younger days,

she had had a relationship that had gone south, and she had stayed single since, without a child.

"Queena, I'm sorry you had to go through that the last time you came over. Your grandmother found out

about it later on, but things at the Jones family aren't really up to her anymore. It's getting harder and

harder for her to sway your father's decisions..."

"Aunt Nancy, I know Grandma means well. How is she doing?"

"You know that there's nothing that can cure her. I've already asked many experts in America for their

opinion, and they said that the worst thing could happen anytime..."

My heart ached as she told me about Grandma's condition.

"You know about Phoebe's wedding, right? It's on the 8th of August, at Kylin Hotel."

Aunt Nancy sounded like she was making a simple statement and at the same time, giving me a

reminder.
