"What?" Nicholas looked at Quinn in disbelief. He reached out to grab her hand, yet his fingers closed on empty air.He stumbled forward as she slowly backed away, looking at her in despair. "You told me you'll love me forever, Quinn. We're not done—we'll never be done with each other!"The cameras were all pointed at Nicholas, yet he paid no attention to them. His eyes and mind were only focused on Quinn at that moment."I didn't switch those photos and videos out, Quinn. Someone must be deliberately creating a rift between us! You're aware that videos can be edited in post-production!" he cried.Quinn chuckled upon hearing Nicholas' words. "I've made the switch myself. I was the one who personally recorded that audio."No longer wanting to waste her time on him, she made her stance clear and turned to leave without turning back.Nicholas wanted to run after her, but he was surrounded by reporters who finally came back to their senses. He could only watch helplessly as she disap

Jasmine stood stunned in place. Anger flashed in her gaze as she said, "Quinn must have told you something for you to treat me like this, right?"She then ran over to the glass cabinet and started taking things out. "These are all my gifts to you. You're still keeping them after all these years. Doesn't that mean you love me?"Nicholas was taken aback seeing the gifts. The cabinet was full of the gifts Jasmine had given him back then.He tried to recall where he had placed all the gifts Quinn had given him. They were all kept in the storage room, never once taken out by him.Ignoring the hot stew and broken ceramic pieces on the floor, Nicholas rushed into the storage room. He started rummaging through everything to look for Quinn's gifts for him, but they were all gone.He slumped to the floor and started laughing, but his emotions soon got the better of him and he started breaking down.Jasmine came rushing over and grabbed his hands. "Why can't you understand that she never lo

However, Stella felt no sympathy for Nicholas, for she knew Quinn all too well.Although what happened on the day of their engagement hurt Quinn, she still held some hope for him.Someone who could never tolerate the smallest betrayal had gone to such lengths for Nicholas—she truly loved him to the extreme.But in the end, all she got in return was for her heart to be broken time and again.Stella replied, "She said she'll never come back again, so I don't even know where she went."She was about to leave, but Nicholas ran after her. "Please help me! I only want to see her. She has lost everything, I'm just worried she'll do something reckless.""Don't worry. As long as you don't show up in front of her, she'll be able to live a better life," Stella replied before getting into her car and leaving.Nicholas stood frozen in place. His mind kept playing Stella's last words. But the truth was, he couldn't live without Quinn."What should I do in order to see you, Quinn? I miss you

Quinn hadn't thought much of the situation at first, but Gabriel's series of questions made her face warm. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know she had to be blushing furiously. That only made her feel more embarrassed.Just then, Gabriel held out his wrist before her. "Does this seem familiar?"Quinn was taken aback when she saw the somewhat worn bracelet he wore. It was one that had been popular when they were children. At the time, he'd pestered her to get him one, so she'd bought one at random. She didn't expect him to keep it around to this day."Don't overthink this—I've kept it this whole time, but I only put it on when I returned to look for you. I thought it'd be nice if you were to remember how close we were as children," he said.She stared at him, not sure what to say in response. Just then, Stella called her. She answered the call with relief.Stella said, "I think Nicholas is determined to find you, Quinn. You should think of a way to deal with him pronto."

"What did you say?" Quinn asked."Nothing. Let's go back down," Gabriel answered.Quinn was in a good mood on the way back. She didn't notice the glumness in Gabriel's eyes. When they were halfway down the mountain, she received a call. Nicholas' agitated voice rang out as soon as she answered it."I know this is your number, Quinn! I have something very important to tell you—I'll find you, no matter where you've gone. If you don't come back, I'll seek out your friends and professors!" he cried.Rage surged in Quinn at those words. She was about to say something when a stabbing pain suddenly struck her heart, making her breathing speed up. She was about to collapse when Gabriel caught her and held her up."Is your heart disease acting up? I'll take you to the hospital!" His voice trembled as he hoisted her onto his back and made his way down the mountain. "Don't scare me, okay? You can't let anything happen to yourself!"We made a pact when we were kids—you said you would marry m

Gabriel's face and body were covered in mud and soil from the mountain. His sharp suit was dirty and torn, and his arms were covered in scratches from rocks and branches. He hadn't done anything to them, though.A trace of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw Quinn awake. He'd never cried even when Steven had chased after him to scold him, yet he burst into aggrieved tears then. "I'm never making you catch the sunrise with me anymore."She reached out to wipe away his tears and smiled gently. "Don't worry, I won't die. How did you get me down the mountain?"No ambulance could've gotten up the mountain because of its treacherous slopes. It looked like Gabriel had gone through a lot to get her to the foot of the mountain."I don't know. My mind went blank, and all I could think about was not wanting you to die." He couldn't stop his hands from trembling at the thought of the perilous situation. He would've spent the rest of his life in pain and regret if something really had happened

Nicholas couldn't help imagining the scene of his reunion with Quinn. Would she be overjoyed to see him? It had been ages since he'd last seen her, and he missed her dearly.As he was about to arrive, he pulled out a wedding band and stroked it carefully. He'd genuinely looked forward to marrying Quinn when he'd gone abroad to have the rings custom-made.If not for Jasmine's sudden return, he and Quinn would have been happy.A tear suddenly rolled down his face and dropped onto the ring. He held it tighter. This was the only ring left from the pair he'd had made, so he couldn't lose it.Nicholas was lost upon arriving at his destination. He'd only found out which flight Quinn had taken; he had no idea where exactly she was.

An idea hit him.…Quinn was reading some documents at home when she received a call from Gabriel. "Someone has confessed thei

Quinn stepped forward to say something when she saw how frenzied Nicholas was, but Gabriel beat her to it. The crisp sound of a slap rang out, seeming even more pronounced by the quiet riverside.Nicholas gaped at Gabriel in disbelief while cupping his face. This was the first time someone had laid a hand on him in his life.Gabriel snorted disdainfully at the look on his face. "Quinn and I have known each other since birth—what do the few years you two had together mean compared to that?"Besides, isn't Jasmine Shaw your beloved? How can you be shameless enough to want Quinn back when you destroyed her for Jasmine's sake? What's your relationship with Quinn now?"Nicholas parted his lips at that but couldn't say a word. What was his relationship with Quinn? He was supposed to be her fiancé, but she no longer wanted him.He looked at Quinn tearfully at that thought and showed her his red cheek. "If hitting me will help appease you, I'm fine letting him slap me as many times as you

Jasmine was ultimately sentenced to prison for embezzlement, illegal fundraising, and other crimes. Nicholas visited her on her first day behind bars. He looked at her coldly."I wasn't going to let you off so easily, so you should thank your lucky stars you ended up in prison. Pray that you spend a few more years in there—I don't know what I'd do to you otherwise," he said.His icy gaze made her hysterically shriek, "You knew that old fart was bad news all along, didn't you? You deliberately made me fall into his clutches!"Nicholas had introduced Jasmine to a director before leaving Heathridge. She'd happily gone to meet the director, but the man had taken advantage of her.She'd thought Nicholas had been in the dark about the whole thing, so she hadn't dared to tell him about it after it had happened. She hadn't wanted him to scorn her. Only now did she realize he'd set her up!"Of course. Did you think I would be kind enough to help you? I wouldn't have lost Quinn if not for y

Jasmine suddenly started laughing as she clutched her cheek. "I would rather take such a roundabout way to get at Quinn than spread those videos of you, Nicholas. How can you treat me like this when I love you so deeply?"What is it about her that bewitches you so? Have you forgotten how you were the one to seek me out when I returned to Heathridge? You wanted me to join your company, and you told me you've never forgotten about me. I wouldn't be in this predicament if not for your sake, Nicholas!"She was about to lose her mind, but Nicholas didn't take pity on her because of that. On the contrary, his hatred for her grew."Don't think I don't know you orchestrated our so-called chance reunion. Also, wasn't I your whole reason for returning to Heathridge?" he spat.A hint of diffidence flashed in Jasmine's eyes at having her lies exposed.Nicholas continued, "I'll give you one last chance, Jasmine. Step up and explain everything—settle this matter, and I can let you off the hook

Nicholas could only stand by and watch as things played out. He'd already seen through Gabriel's feelings for Quinn the last time they'd seen each other, so he wasn't surprised by this.What surprised him was that Quinn hadn't evaded Gabriel. She'd allowed him to hold and kiss her. His mind went blank. He couldn't believe what had just happened."Stay away from her! You don't deserve to touch her!" he snapped. He charged at Gabriel with a raised fist, wanting to hit him.Gabriel grabbed his arm with one hand while holding Quinn with the other. "What right do you have to stick your nose in my business with Quinn? Who do you think you are?"He flung Nicholas aside. The latter stumbled and fell to the ground, scratching his palm in the process. Nicholas looked at Quinn, his eyes turning red with grievance as he held up his palm. "It hurts, Quinn."Whenever he'd gotten injured in the past, she would gently tend to his wounds."You deserve it. Drop the pitiful act!" Gabriel stood befo

Nicholas' gaze no longer had the tenderness it had once held. To him, Jasmine was no more than a nemesis now.He knew she'd come bearing ill intentions when his assistant had called and told him she'd followed him. He didn't expect her to pull such a dirty trick—she'd secretly recorded them together!"I don't want to hurt you, Nicholas. I just don't understand why you're being so stubborn when things have already turned out like this. I promise I won't cause any more trouble for Quinn as long as you marry me."Besides, you and I were together before you met Quinn. How can you betray our bond for her sake?" Jasmine cried. Her eyes turned red, and she held Nicholas' shoulders tightly as she shook him.He scoffed and shoved her hands off. "You're the one who betrayed us first, Jasmine. Have you forgotten the money you took from my parents?""How do you know Quinn wasn't with you for your money, then?" Jasmine grew agitated. She looked at Nicholas pleadingly as tears glimmered in her

Nicholas ran after Quinn when he saw her get into the car to leave. She didn't stop for him, though. He watched as the car drove off into the distance, and he tripped and fell. The ring on his hand fell off and rolled into one of the bushes by the roadside.He immediately scrambled to his feet to search through them. The branches and thorns left scratches on his hands, but he didn't seem to notice them.After a long time, Nicholas clutched the ring after finding it and laughed in agitation. Slowly, tears streamed down his face as he laughed. He could find the ring again, but could he do the same for Quinn's love?Meanwhile, Quinn parked the car outside Steven's apartment building. Gabriel stood before Steven, looking glum and despondent as the latter berated him. "Your parents called and said you only have three days to tell them what they want to hear."If you can't, you're going home to marry the person they've picked for you!" With that, Steven glanced at Quinn out of the corner
