“A setup? Your hand was practically groping her and you talk about being a setup? Do I look blind to you? Our family is in such a state of urgency, and you're buying millions worth of jewelry for that little slut. Have you funneled all the company’s money to her? Tell me, who is that little slut, Sean? Where is she? Tell me!”
Lilian was evidently losing control of herself, raging like a madwoman, attacking Sean in a frenzy.
“Enough already, you lunatic.” Sean finally couldn’t take it anymore and with a forceful push, pushing Lilian forcefully to the ground.
“You pushed me? You actually hit me? Do you really think the Yates family is easy to bully? You dare push me for some cheap woman?”
“Lilian, for heaven’s sake, can you use your brain for once? Miranda is still out there. If you keep causing a scene now, what if Quintessa goes after Miranda? Who will help her?”
The mention of Miranda finally brought Lilian back to her senses a bit.
“For Miranda’s sake, I’ll hold off on dealing with you for now, Sean. But you must explain this matter to me.”
Sean forcefully dragged the enraged Lilian out, while Quintessa quickly slipped away.
Lilian blended back into the crowd, and Quintessa signaled to Yolanda with her eyes. Then Quintessa approached, linking her arm through Lilian's affectionately, saying, “Auntie, where’ve you been?”
Unable to find Miranda anywhere, Lilian grew anxious, teetering on the edge of breakdown. Seeing Quintessa only fueled her rage, leaving her with no patience to play along. “Back off.”
Quintessa chuckled. “Why so angry? Isn't it just infidelity. All men stray. Besides,” she gave Lilian a once-over. “looking at you now, if my dad didn’t stray, that would be the real problem. What man would want an old, ugly woman like you, and feel your flab? Ha, even if my dad did sleep with you, it'd probably be a quick affair, solving the problem in a second.”
