The commotion here caught the attention of the onlookers, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Lott with faces darker than storm clouds. This party was half-ruined by now, and they could only hope that nothing else would go wrong.
Nathan shot Quintessa a gloomy glance as he turned to greet the guests, while Fiona looked like as if she wished she could tear Quintessa apart with her bare hands.
Quintessa snatched the diagnostic report from Fiona’s grip. “Madam, now that you’ve had your look, how about giving it back to me?”
“The Lott family’s soirée does not welcome you. Please leave immediately.”
“How can you turn your back and not recognize people? I’ve told you all of this, revealing the truth for the greater good, shouldn’t you be thankful? If it weren’t for me, your son might have been left holding the bag without even realizing.”
Jerome frowned.
Fiona, with her nose in the air, sneered, “I know exactly what you’re plotting. A woman should never think of joining the Lott family. I will never consent to Jerome being with you. Our family cannot afford such a disgrace.”
Quintessa let out a coquettish laugh. “Oh, how hilarious. But what if your son likes a woman like me? What do you suggest I do? Should I make an effort to make him fall for me, just to drive you mad?”
Fiona’s face turned the color of liver, and Jerome coldly said, “Enough.”
Quintessa gave him a disdainful look. “Are you putting on airs in front of your mother? As if you’re not dying to sleep with me. If you’re not interested, just pretend I didn’t say anything. And in the future, keep your distance from me.”
After dealing with Miranda, Quintessa’s attitude towards Jerome changed instantly.
Quintessa let go of Jerome and turned to Fiona, who was gasping for air. “Be nice to me, Auntie, or else you’ll see firsthand how I can lure your son away.”
