Quinn went on an arrogant tirade. "Look at you, going around slandering me and bad-mouthing me to the Sullivans. Just because you got lucky to have gotten into the Sullivans' good books, you turn them against me so that they won't cooperate with me? How disgusting! "So what if you've married a new rich woman? You'll be cuckolded again sooner or later!"Evan frowned slightly, retorting, "Quinn, if you're sick in the head, go get yourself treated. Don't flare up in front of me.""What's the matter? Are you furious because I've exposed your ugly true colors?"The more Quinn spoke, the angrier she became. She snapped, "Evan, let me tell you, I'm not done with you! I'll never let this slide!"With ferocity in his eyes, Sean interjected and said, "Quinn, there's no need to waste your time with him. You already know his true colors. A piece of trash like him would never want the best for others. You dumped him, and that's why he's resentful. He'll definitely find ways to get back at you
Quinn had never had any contact with Hendrick Club, so she did not know why Matthew was at her house.Matthew sneered, "You still have the nerve to ask? Miss Langdon, are you still playing dumb? Or do you really know nothing?""Mr. Hendrick, I really don't know what you're talking about," Quinn shook her head and replied. "I haven't offended you, nor have I offended Hendrick Club. Please enlighten me."Matthew snorted. "Last year, you opened a nightclub on Petal Street, right?""Yes."Matthew questioned her, "Don't you know that Petal Street is Hendrick Club's territory? You're doing business on Hendrick Club's territory, but you haven't paid a penny to us for the security fees. How could you not understand the rules?"Raising her eyebrows, she stuttered, "S-Security fees?"Quinn was confused. She had never heard of such a rule. Moreover, her nightclub had been open for more than a year, and no one had ever come to collect money. Why did Matthew come to her door now?"Quinn, yo
"Sean, please help Quinn," Laura looked at Sean and pleaded. In her opinion, only Sean could save them.Sean hesitated for a moment, then said again, "Mr. Hendrick, I'll give you 20 million. Could you please let Quinn go?"Matthew impatiently kicked Sean in the mouth. Sean wailed and spat out another mouthful of blood. Even one of his teeth was knocked out."What a nuisance!" Matthew cursed angrily. "Come here, break one of his legs and tie him up. Call his father and ask him to bring 20 million to Hendrick Club tomorrow to redeem him. Otherwise, he can prepare a coffin for his son.""Please don't! Mr. Hendrick, I know I was wrong. I'll shut up, I'll shut up right now!" Sean was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy. His face was covered with snot, tears, and blood. He looked nothing like a rich man.The two thugs walked toward Sean. He was completely horrified as he begged, "Mr. Hendrick, don't hit me. I beg you, please..."At this time, a pungent smell wafted across th
"Congratulations to Quinn Langdon and Sean Waterson on their wedding day!"Inside the most luxurious hotel of River City, a beautiful woman in a wedding dress was smiling to express her gratitude. The man next to her looked quite charming in his suit.All of the seated guests were from influential families from River City. It was clear that the bride and groom were esteemed personalities.While everyone was celebrating the moment, a security guard ran up the stage in a panic and said something to both of them, "We have a problem! Ms. Langdon, a disheveled homeless man is trying to barge in here. He claims to be your…"The security guard glanced fearfully at Sean as he hesitated to finish the sentence.Quinn shook her head to indicate it was fine. That was when the security guard spoke up."He claims to be your husband. He even has a marriage certificate with him… I've seen it. It really has your…"There was an official stamp on it. It could not be fake.Sean was not angry at th
Ten minutes earlier, Quinn's mother, Laura Wallace, had barged into the house with her son, Hugo Langdon.She looked inside the empty house and gave a long sigh of relief."That good-for-nothing, Evan, actually went to create trouble at the wedding. I was worried he would take this house away. If that happens, you won't be able to get married." "Take this house away?" Hugo, who looked like a young university student, spat the words out with disdain."He's not good enough. He's meant to be a deliveryman. My girlfriend said that she'll only marry me if I have a house, and Quinn already promised to give this house to me."He mumbled as he picked up his phone and started playing with it while seated on the couch.Laura called Quinn on the phone. She was relieved to find out from Quinn that they had managed to throw Evan out of the wedding."That's enough, Hugo. Stop playing with your games. Your sister is still waiting for you. The wedding is important. That good-for-nothing hasn't…"The
The person who cared about the house the most was Quinn's brother, Hugo. He was immediately enraged as he ran toward Evan."This house is mine. It has nothing to do with a good-for-nothing like you!"Hugo had just found himself a girlfriend who requested that he buy a house in the city center before she was willing to marry him. If he lost this house, it would be difficult for him to find a quality woman with looks like his.Anyone who wanted to take this house away from him would be killing him!Hugo had always looked down on the good-for-nothing, Evan.Before he was done talking, Hugo swung a punch at Evan. Even though Hugo had never trained in fighting before, he had a huge physique, which helped with swinging a heavy punch.If that punch landed on Evan, it would hurt him bad enough to be hospitalized for two days.Evan easily countered that big impact, and all he did was reach his finger.Hugo had swung that punch with everything he had, only to feel himself hitting somethi
Hugo was too scared to say anything and stared viciously at Evan instead.Deidre followed behind Evan as she quietly thought about how cold Evan was. She was the young heiress of the Nolans. Many young heirs and successors of influential families could not wait to shake her hand.Yet Evan refused to even give her a second look when she held her hand up to him.Hugo quickly stood up from the ground after Deidre and Evan left to wake Laura up.Laura woke up in a daze. "Argh, it hurts."She touched her swollen face and said hatefully, "Where's Evan and that slut?"Hugo was still feeling scared about what happened. "They're gone.""Gone? How could you let them leave just like that?"Laura was unhappy about this. "Get up. Come with me to go after them. That damned Evan found himself a mistress to hit me. I've never suffered like this before. I can't let them get away with this. I want them dead.""Mom, let's not do that."Hugo was still fearful. "We should go home and ask Quinn to
Ruby fell to the floor from Laura's slap. Her cheek burned with pain, and her tears could not stop falling."Why did you hit me, Grandma?"Ruby looked at Laura fearfully and pitifully."Because a bastard like you deserves to be hit."Laura was mad just because Ruby looked similar to Evan. She clenched her teeth and said, "Your father is dead. Sean will be your father now, understand?""My father isn't dead. He isn't! Mr. Waterson isn't my father!"Ruby started crying as she hugged Quinn's leg. "Mom, I want Dad. Take me to see Dad.""Little bastard, stop wanting to see that good-for-nothing! I'll beat you till you come to your senses." Laura rolled up her sleeve and went toward Ruby viciously."Please don't! Don't hit me, Grandma!" Ruby turned pale from fright and quickly hid behind Quinn."What are you doing, Mom?"Quinn shielded Ruby behind her. "You should go after Evan if you hate him. It has nothing to do with Ruby. She's still young. How can you hit her?""Looking at he
