I looked at Matthew and said, "It's not good for Aunt Nietzsche to cry like this. Bring her upstairs and comfort her."
Matthew nodded and helped Nancy upstairs.
Quinn and I were left in the living room. I was still confused when I saw her indifferent expression.' What were her feelings for Marcus, then?"
Quinn looked at me. "Aren't you going back?"
I definitely could not stay here after all that had happened, so I nodded and answered, "I'm leaving now."
"Don't you think that I was too cruel for exposing the truth to Nancy?” Quinn asked all of a sudden.
I was taken aback but immediately understood why she was asking me this. "Since you asked that question, it means that even you're unsure if you did the right thing or not. Am I right?"
Quinn chuckled lightly. "You're quite honest.’
I lowered my eyes and said indifferently, "But since Marcus didn't expose the truth, he probably didn't want Aunt Nietzsche to live in regret for the rest of her life. From his point of view, you really shouldn't have told her."
Quinn snorted coldly. "But from my point of view, I had to tell her the truth because I wasted my best years for her. If I couldn't even get fair compensation i n the end, I'd be the loser in this game. In fact, I blame Marcus Zimmer and Nancy Nietzsche for all this because if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have borne so much infamy and wasted my youth."
I wanted to laugh when I heard what she said.
"You did it voluntarily, didn't you?" I said without hesitation, "You helped your husband preserve Aunt Nietzsche's reputation and he gave you the shares of Zimmer Corporations in exchange. You both worked together well and he provided you with enough care throughout your time together. Although it might not b e love, you should still be grateful."
"Am I still your cousin?!" Quinn was offended by my words and looked slightly angry. "You’re speaking up for an outsider, huh? I seriously don't know why Theo fell for you."
I shrugged. "He’s probably blind."
Quinn was a person who was rational and indifferent. Such a person was extremely selfish. She cared only for her own comfort in everything she did. As for other people's thoughts and feelings, she would not be bothered about those.
