After three years in a loveless marriage, Quinn remains untouched by the husband who blames her for everything. Trapped between a cruel spouse and an adoptive family that always puts their biological daughter first, she has nothing left to lose. But when she finally stops sacrificing herself, everyone who took her for granted may regret it forever.
“If you had tried harder and become someone more impressive, if you had made Chase fall in love with you, then when something like that happened he wouldn’t have handed you over without hesitation.” “Fine,” Quinn said. “Then I admit it. I’m not impressive at all. Didn’t he used to like you? Since you think…
At some point, two large men had appeared behind him. Before he realized what was happening, they each grabbed one of his arms and started dragging him toward the elevator. “Hey! Who the hell are you guys? Let go of me!” Quinn had no idea what was happening outside. Once the door closed, the apartment…
“That guy is unbelievable! After everything he’s done, he still doesn’t want a divorce? That’s disgusting!” she snapped. “I’m calling Veronica right now and asking if there’s any way to completely ruin his reputation.” Quinn quickly grabbed her arm. “She is really busy. Don’t bother her over my problems all the time.” “It’s fine,” Lucy…
Julian said calmly, “I’m on my way now. As for why I’m showing up, come up with a reasonable explanation.” Before Veronica could say anything else, he had already hung up. Veronica had always believed she understood Julian quite well. Julian rarely smiled, and he was incredibly calculating when it came to business. Yet he…
She made up her mind. Pushing open the door to the private dining room, she said to Lucy, “Lucy, come out here for a second.” Lucy stood up instinctively and walked toward the door. “What’s going on?” Quinn’s fingers tightened slightly around her fork, the pressure turning her nail beds a pale pink. Lucy left…
Lucy still couldn’t figure it out. “Then what does he want to talk to Quinn about?” Veronica smiled. “Maybe they’re just… chatting.” “What? Julian? Chatting with someone?” “Not with most people,” Veronica said. “But maybe with Quinn.” “Why?” Veronica tugged lightly on her hair. “Silly girl. You’ll understand someday.” Lucy was almost losing her mind.…
Quinn immediately stood up and walked to the other side of the couch. Chase froze. He stared at her in disbelief. “What’s that supposed to mean? Why are you avoiding me?” Quinn suppressed the wave of disgust rising in her stomach. Her expression remained cold. “We’re getting divorced. We should keep some distance.” Chase let…
“You two again? Are you kidding me? Haven’t you caused enough trouble already?” Neither of the men paid him any attention. One of them looked directly at Quinn. “You want us to call the police, correct?” “Yes,” Quinn said, her voice still trembling but her answer firm. “Don’t call the police!” Chase snapped anxiously. “We’re…
With that, she led Quinn away. Veronica quickly followed. When Elaine and Victor tried to go after them, a staff member stepped in front of them. “Sorry. You’ll have to wait outside.” Mindful of their status, the couple could not start an argument with staff. Chase asked nervously, “Mom, Dad, what do we do now?…
There were marks on her face too, and it was already starting to swell. Warm water poured down from the showerhead, stinging in certain places. But Quinn did not care. She wanted to scrub herself clean, as if she could wash away everything that had happened. Even though Chase had not really gotten the chance…
