Quinn's comment hit Miranda like an ice-cold bucket of water. All Miranda wanted was to marry Jerome. But Jerome had grown weary of her long ago. The threads that had been holding their relationship together were nothing but her desperate attempts at winning over Jerome's mother, Fiona Lott, and her staged suicide..
Causing a scene here would ruin her chances with Jerome forever.
Miranda's eyes brimmed with tears as she turned to Jerome and pleaded, "Jerome, we've loved each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person Quinn is? She crawled out of Tyrone's bed three years ago, and you saw it with your own eyes. She's nothing but a shameless flirt, don't let her use you."
Quinn suddenly shoved Miranda, causing her to stumble backward. Off-balance, Miranda, with her foot twisted, fell to the ground and felt a sharp pain shooting through her ankle.
Quinn's smile was as sweet as pie, "Oh sis, you really need to watch your step. Did you hurt yourself? Here, let me help you up."
Miranda roared, "Get away from me."
Quinn raised her index finger to her lips, "Shh, keep it down. Everyone's watching. Look, your future mother-in-law is coming over!"
Miranda glanced around and realized that they already became the center of attention. Jerome's father's expression was particularly grim.
She had to endure, she told herself, clenching her teeth.
Despite wanting to claw Quinn's face off, Miranda hissed, "Quinn, just you wait. I'll make you regret this."
