Lana's decisive and powerful movements not only shocked Joyce, whom she sent flying but also surprised Romelius and Mandy.Everyone was aware that Lana's kick was something that had to be honed through practice. So, she was probably a skilled fighter. Lana looked slender. So, no one really expected her to be so strong. Joyce was kicked to the wall, and then she fell heavily onto the ground. She was in so much pain she couldn't even move. She only managed to get up after lying still on the ground for a while. "How … dare you attack me?"Lana was amused. Joyce was indeed Rosa's mother. They said the exact same thing after being beaten. "It's only fair. If you want to hit someone, expect to get hit back." Then, Lana's stern gaze fell on Romelius. "What about you? You just watched as she was hitting someone?"Romelius felt wronged. "I didn't just stand by and watch. I tried to stop her but failed."Lana sneered. "Got it. You're a weakling."He can't even restrain a woman. Th
If what happened between Romelius and Mandy was exposed to the public, it would tear down the reputation she built over the years. Not only that, it would also impact Romelius' career adversely. That would send the Quinn Family into a spiral. If that happened, it wouldn't just be Romelius' problem. He never thought Joyce could be so heartless that she would try to bring the entire Quinn Family to ruin for her greed. Romelius was at a loss for words from his anger. He took a while to regain his composure. Then, he said, "You wouldn't dare!"Joyce had already tidied up her clothing and bag. She adjusted the straps of her branded bag and said, "You left me no choice. It's an eye for an eye. If anything happens to the Quinn family, it would be your fault." Joyce strutted out of the room with her nose in the air. Before leaving, she stopped in her tracks. With her back facing Romelius, she said, "I'll give you one day to reconsider. If you do not undo the asset transfer by
Nicholas was puzzled. "Your medical skills are already very proficient. If there's a condition that even you can't deal with, our mentor probably won't make much of a difference.""Even so, I want to give it a try. It's possible that …"Nicholas smiled bitterly. He knew what kind of person Lana was. So, he didn't try to talk her out of it. He said, "Our mentor loves to travel. I haven't been able to contact him for two years." "What? How can you not get in touch with him for two whole years?" Nicholas' answer made Lana anxious. Nicholas raised his hands and explained, "Hey, I didn't say that. I said I hadn't been able to contact him. I'm not you. You just don't want to contact him."Although Nicholas took a jab at her, Lana didn't retort. "Can you find a way to get in touch with him? I really need to find him soon."Lana was afraid that Mandy didn't have much longer to live. "I can give it a try. But even if I manage to contact him, there's no guarantee that he would be
Devon's bodyguards didn't dare to defy Rosa since she was so adamant about beating the people up. They knew how much the President doted on his niece, after all. One of the bodyguards picked up a chair and was about to throw it at the counter. Lana abruptly stated, "Do it. Thrash the place. I'll film everything."A bodyguard tried to snatch Lana's phone from her when he saw that she was about to film them. However, Lana was able to evade his grasp with ease. The bodyguards saw that and realized that Lana was a skilled fighter. Thus, they became vigilant. "Mr. President's bodyguards causing a scene in public, and destroying public property. I bet this headline would change everyone's view of the President."All the bodyguards were stunned by Lana's words. They almost destroyed their own careers because of Rosa. While it was true that they were responsible for keeping the President safe, they had no right to lay a hand on other people's private property. If Lana did film it
It was night, and Romelius washed a bowl of strawberries for Mandy."Here, your favorite strawberries." Mandy looked at them and didn't take any. "Set it aside. Let Lana have them when she visits.""Even if you want to leave them for Lana, you can still eat some."Mandy shook her head and said, "It's different. Shouldn't parents leave the best for their child?"They had already spent so much time apart from Lana. Mandy wanted Lana to have the best she could offer in her final days. Even if Lana never learned that she was Lana's biological mother. Romelius wanted to say more, but his phone rang, so he picked up. "Romelius, you better release Rosa immediately. Otherwise, I will expose everything Mandy has done over the years to reporters. The reputation of the Quinns will be ruined! " Joyce's words didn't make any sense to Romelius. He replied impatiently, "What's wrong with you, Joyce? What happened to Rosa?""Rosa …" Joyce broke down into tears before she could say anythin
"There's no need for that!" Lana indirectly rejected Mandy's suggestion. She added, "There are so many delicious foods on earth. I want to try more."However, Mandy refused to give up just yet. "You can always enjoy other foods, but we should buy the strawberry farm first. Wouldn't it be nice if you could have the strawberries anytime you want?"Lana really didn't want a strawberry farm. It wasn't like she could have fruits only in place of her meals. Besides, Mandy being overly enthusiastic about it seemed somewhat strange. Lana was even more reluctant to agree to it because of that.She couldn't help reminding Mandy, "Dy, don't say that I didn't remind you. You have transferred all the assets under your name to me. You're broke. Please stop thinking about the strawberry farm."Mandy was left tongue-tied. How in the world did she forget about that? Now that things had come to this point, she had no choice but to give up on buying Lana the strawberry farm.The two of them co
Mandy's image took a serious hit.Reporters rushed to the hospital where she was hospitalized. They hoped to capture the scene described by the whistleblower who claimed Mandy's brother had abandoned everything to be by her side after she fell ill.However, due to the private hospital's excellent confidentiality policies, the reporters had to leave empty-handed.At dawn, reporters managed to capture Romelius' wife, Joyce, hastily heading to the police station. They discovered that Romelius and Joyce's only daughter was currently in custody for alleged involvement in a disturbance. That only further added credibility to the whistleblower's claims."I always thought you were about the fray. I thought you were a true angel who descended from the heavens. It turns out that you have been hiding your true face so well. "You've always acted innocent even with your shit morals. I'm disappointed. I reckon I don't need to explain myself for turning from a fan to a hater.""I cried fo
In a dimly lit small space inside the chapel, smoke billows. It was eerie and terrifying, reminiscent of hell. Priscilla knelt on the mat, praying with her expensive rosary. It was a daily ritual she had followed for years. Joyce knelt silently beside her and began to recite along.After finishing the prayer, Priscilla, with Joyce's support, stood up. Then, they both sat in the chapel's small lounge. "Joyce, why didn't Rosa come today?"Normally, Rosa is very punctual and arrives at the chapel at this time every day. But today, Priscilla didn't see her. Thus, she started looking for Rosa.When Priscilla brought up Rosa, Joyce's tears welled up and fell like raindrops, landing on the gray floor tiles. Priscilla felt sympathy for her. She became worried and asked, "Joyce, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?""Grandma!" Joyce said with a hint of sadness, resting on Priscilla. "I won't be able to be by your side for much longer. My relationship with Romelius has e
