Sweet Revenge Chapter 147
Chapter One Hundred Forty-Seven"Are you joking, Sir? I know my actions have caused harm to both Quinn's spirit and physique, but our engagement is a significant matter. She won't be able to..." Harvey's words trailed off as he hesitated. He realized something and chose not to continue.Mrs. Reed couldn't bear to listen to Harvey speak any further. Although she was very angry, she hadn't had a moment of respite from this matter for over a month. Yet, she didn't have the authority to interfere in the engagement between these two families.Previously, her anger had led her to say that she didn't want her daughter to marry Harvey. While that sentiment was genuine, after calmly reconsidering, she realized the extent of Harvey's influence was staggering."I want to jest with you too, Harvey. But truly, this is Quinn's decision, not ours. Perhaps this engagement should end here," Mr. Reed sighed. This engagement had been arranged between the two families from the beginning, and it was solel

Chapter One Hundred Forty-EightQuinn's coldness choked Harvey's words, leaving him speechless as if there was a lump in his throat. He could only force a bitter smile within himself. Her attitude was understandable, given that he had driven her to be this way."Quinn, I guess you're still angry about that incident. I know it has heavily affected your mental and physical well-being. Can you give me a chance to make things right?" Harvey held Quinn's hand again, disregarding her attempt to pull away.Women's strength was often considered lesser than that of men, and Quinn, being a delicate girl currently undergoing treatment, quickly found her strength drained and overpowered by Harvey.Quinn couldn't withdraw her hand from Harvey's firm grip, sighing in resignation."Is today's visit just for these words?" Quinn inquired.Harvey nodded decisively. His purpose for coming here today was crystal clear: to take Quinn back home. It was so evident that Quinn could guess the moment she saw h

Chapter One Hundred Forty-NineStill not at ease, the steward said, "Let's go somewhere else to talk. If we're discovered and reported, I'll be done for."Quinn sighed, feeling that the steward was overly anxious, but she followed him to a secluded spot. It was late now, and her parents and the maids had returned to their respective rooms. The maids' quarters were in a separate area, and they had their own rooms too.Although the steward had called it a secluded place, he led Quinn to the backyard of the mansion. It wasn't exactly discreet, but at this late hour, no one would come here."Alright, go ahead," Quinn urged, having to walk a lot, making her breath heavily from exhaustion. She stood with her arms crossed, looking at him.Only now did the steward begin to speak, "When you returned to your room after talking with Mr. Harvey, he also returned to the living room to speak with Mr. and Mrs. Reed. I didn't witness that conversation, but...""But what...?" Quinn furrowed her brows.
Sweet Revenge Chapter 150
Chapter One Hundred and FiftyQuinn's words had left Mrs. Reed unsure of what else to say to change her daughter's mind at this moment. Quietly observing her daughter's expression, it seemed that her daughter truly had no intention of altering her decision.After finishing breakfast, Quinn went out into the courtyard to enjoy the tranquility and fresh air. In the past, her mother often came here to have tea, finding it monotonous and uninteresting as she could only sit in one place without doing much.Unexpectedly, Quinn now found solace in this monotony. She could sit here all day without wanting to leave. A maid brought tea to Quinn and poured it for her. At the same time, another maid brought over pre-cut fruits and pastries."Do the two of you have any more tasks to attend to?" Quinn casually inquired.The maids thought Quinn was questioning them and became quite anxious. However, contrary to their thoughts, Quinn simply spoke again."If you're not busy anymore, join me for some t

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-OneHarvey clenched his fist in anger, crushing the wine glass beside him. He had spent a lot of time thinking about gifts for Quinn, trying to avoid repeating past presents. Yet, all he had received in return over these past times were cold indifference from her and her family."Summon V here," Harvey exhaled sharply, reaching for a tissue to wipe his hands before continuing to write his letter. Despite his discomfort, he pressed on with the unfinished letter.The delivery person heard Harvey's words like a lifeline, quickly escaping the room. A while later, the old steward also entered Harvey's office.The steward was elderly, but his demeanor remained composed and swift, never losing his elegance. He calmly inquired, "What do you need, sir?"Harvey didn't look at the steward, his attention still on writing the letter to Quinn. In the past, he had admired Gemma's beauty, which made writing letters to her effortless. But now, he couldn't do the same."Ho

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-TwoMr. Reed sighed heavily, uncertain about what Harvey might do next. The documents and records detailing matters that affected the Reed family and his company were being handed over by Harvey's associates in excessive amounts. While he received only copies, the originals were in Harvey's possession. The longer this issue persisted, the more likely it would become public knowledge, jeopardizing the honor and reputation of the Reed family.Mr. Reed looked at Harvey and could sense that Harvey's patience had worn thin; hence, Harvey wanted a private meeting. "So, what do you want at last?" Mr. Reed inquired.Harvey calmly gazed at Mr. Reed, the man before him being the future father-in-law. Though Harvey was deliberately applying pressure, he didn't want this matter to reach Quinn's ears."You're aware, sir. I want your daughter. Quinn Reed," Harvey stated, revealing his sole desire.Mr. Reed narrowed his eyes as he silently evaluated Harvey. Initially, Mr. R

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-ThreeThe conversation was going nowhere as Quinn deliberately failed to grasp her father's words. She kept shifting the topic, making someone as composed and gentle as Mr. Reed infuriated.Expelled from the living room, Quinn couldn't help but secretly chuckle. Of course, she understood the words her father uttered, and she comprehended them very well. After all, the current issue wasn't merely about the mutual benefits of the marriage alliance between the two clans. It had evolved into an entirely different matter, far beyond what Quinn could have imagined.Inside the living room, Mr. Reed sighed heavily, leaning back. "If Quinn continues like this, Harvey will lose his temper. I never expected him to end up desiring our daughter after vehemently opposing their engagement earlier."Mrs. Reed, who already held a deep dislike for Harvey due to prior events, was now even more annoyed as Harvey purposefully threatened her husband. However, she could only re

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FourHarvey's smile froze and became awkward, he didn't need the documents in front of him to read, instead, he looked at Quinn and asked, "Quinn, what does this mean?"Quinn was fed up with Harvey's repetition. Just now, Harvey deliberately pretended not to understand what she was saying. She didn't pay attention, but the documents were right in front of her, so she couldn't pretend not to know anymore."You know very well, no need to ask me again. After you sign, I will ask my father to gather both clans to consider and annul our engagement. Fortunately, we haven't actually married, so we don't need lawyers for this." Quinn chuckled lightly and urged him to read.She didn't want things to spiral out of control and explode. She especially didn't want her parents to know that she met Harvey today to discuss these matters. If they found out she met Harvey to have him sign those documents, they would strictly forbid her.At present, even her parents had sided w
