She sneered, “Do you know why you’ve ended up like this? Because you’re foolish. Instead of hating me, shouldn’t you hate Sean even more? I just casually mentioned an eye for an eye, and he readily agreed. In his eyes, your life, over two decades of marriage, your daughter, all of it was worth less than a bit of money. Look at how cheap you all are. Look at the man you killed my mother for. He’s not even worth the name of a beast.”
“I just said it casually, and he took it seriously. Did you really think I’d be so stupid as to directly incite him to kill you? I just wanted to make things difficult for him, but he took it seriously. To avoid jail, he didn’t even think twice.”
“It wasn’t until yesterday, when I heard he had sent your daughter to a mental institution, that I realized he was serious. I certainly don’t want to be implicated a murderer, so I thought I’d kindly inform you in advance. But I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful. Fine, if you truly believe he’s still a trustworthy husband, then go to him.”
Quintessa had long seen through Sean. Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs, but he would go as far as to hunt down her, his own daughter, and one day, he could also use Miranda as a stepping stone.
Tears welled up in Lilian’s dull eyes as she murmured, “Miranda, Miranda.”
Quintessa’s smile was venomous, “Lilian, if you had an ounce of intelligence, you wouldn’t be in this situation. Sean’s company lost 100 million dollars. Where did all that money go? What was it used for? As a shareholder of the company, how can you not know anything?”
Lilian suddenly looked up, her gaze fierce enough to burn Quintessa alive.
Quintessa enjoyed that anger, “I’m just letting you know. Of course, I’m not doing this out of kindness to help you. I love watching you fight each other. But the real culprit behind all this mess is Sean. I hate him more than I hate you. I can deal with later, but him… I wish he was dead already.”
“Hmph, you just don’t want us to reconcile, afraid that we’ll join forces to deal with you,” Lilian was no fool!
“Exactly, which is why I’m telling you the truth now. If you can still sleep with him after knowing all this, then I have nothing more to say. After all, there’s no cure for being foolish. I’ve said my piece, it’s up to you whether you listen or not.”
Quintessa turned and walked away, her shadow stretching long in the bright summer sun. Just then, she saw a figure lunging at her from behind. With a swift sidestep, Quintessa avoided it, leaving Lilian to crash heavily to the ground.
After all, Lilian was getting old, and she had wanted to make sure Quintessa didn’t leave so easily since they had met. She was determined to tear off a layer of Quintessa’s fox fur. But she hadn’t anticipated Quintessa dodging so effortlessly, and she ended up falling hard on the asphalt, her knees and elbows throbbing with pain.
Quintessa walked over and stepped on Lilian’s hand, “Tsk, how careless of you. At your age, you still want to play the victim? Is the Yates family so short of money that you resort to this?”
Quintessa always enjoyed wearing stilettos. She reveled in the feeling of stepping on someone’s hand and watching them struggle on the ground.
