Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 263

Vivian was shivering with fear, "This is illegal, my family won't let you get away with this."

Quintessa laughed heartily, "Your family? Can your family be compared to the York family that had been backing me? You don't know yet, but I'm practically Mrs. York's future daughter-in-law. Do you think Tyrone would let anything happen to me? I can't be bothered with you.1, 2, Oh, quite the tough cookie, aren't you? Well, no need for a 3 then, let's just go ahead with it. It's not like it would make a difference."

As Quintessa's wrist slowly turned, the liquid in the bottle seemed on the verge of pouring out. Vivian, terrified to the point of nearly wetting herself, begged, "Don't do it, please, no, no, I'll tell. It's true, it's in my bag."

Vivian knew Mrs. York was a soft touch and a bit naive. She really fancied the emerald jewelry set, but she also knew that her husband would never fork over seventy thousand dollars for it. So, she devised a plan to swindle Mrs. York. She figured Mrs. York wouldn't miss the money, and since no one else knew whether the jewelry she borrowed was real or fake, as long as she denied everything, the police couldn't prove a thing.

Vivian intended to pass off a fake if she could, or feign confusion and switch them back if necessary.

But she didn't expect Quintessa to show up, who first lowered her guard with a strategy, then came at her with sulfuric acid.

Quintessa glanced at the bystanders, who were all too scared to come close, and said to one of them, "You, bring it here."

Trembling, the person picked up Vivian's bag, and pulled out a black velvet pouch from it; it was heavy with the weight of Mrs. York's entire jewelry set.

Quintessa had them hand it over and confirmed it was genuine before putting the jewelry away.

Then she lightly slapped Vivian's face, "If you had just given it to me earlier, all this could have been avoided. Trying to be clever with me? I'll play you for a fool."

Vivian knew she was beaten today. She was furious, but with the threat of acid hanging over her, she didn't dare resist, "I've given you the real thing; now let me go."
