Quincy wobbled. "She's pregnant?!"If Greg's affair was already a bolt from the blue, Kathy's pregnancy was a million times worse! Ian, losing all control right then, suddenly punched Greg in the face.Greg grunted dully and dropped to a crouch in pain!Quincy froze for two seconds before quickly moving to stop her son, snapping, "What are you doing?!"They should not come to blows no matter how upset they were! Moreover, Greg was his father. Ian should not have raised his hand against him no matter what happened! Masculine pride was at stake, and she did not want Greg to start despising their son.Pulling Ian away from them in fear that things would escalate further, Quincy told Ian, "Only your grandfather can talk sense into him now."Now, she could finally see that there was no saving Greg now.Even Ian's cheeks were twitching with rage."I'll kill her," he growled.Quincy did not say anything in protest, because she had the same idea.Nonetheless, she pulled him alo
Striding toward James, Ian asked sharply, "Tell me. What is going on here?"James's expression had instantly switched from leisurely to sulking. "Like I said, my component was in the final phase of development, and we just needed this microchip. We would have to divert much of our resources if we want to make that microchip ourselves, so that's not going to happen quickly. That's why I decided to order it from a foreign company, and we even signed an agreement so that they would sell us that patent of microchip. It's basically a monopoly, but I found out today that they're a dummy corporation! The samples they gave us were from another company—I've called the cops, though, so we just might stop them…""Stop them? A foreign company?" Ian breathed through clenched teeth even as he shook with rage. "You paid them millions without doing a background check on them?""I did! But their setup was so elaborate, it fooled even me…""And do you really believe we can get our money back after
In fact, when he saw the news, Ian told himself that it must be some company with the same name announcing its bankruptcy—and not the Eastdawn he invested in! Certainly not after he just signed the new agreement with James last night!He stood in front of his desk as he turned off the news, clutching his chest as he repeated to himself, "Calm down. Calm down. My investment is fine."After doing nothing but standing around for a long while, he finally picked up his phone to call James.No one answered. Losing all composure just then, he headed out of his office to find out what the hell happened.Just as he stepped out of the front door of the Light Group headquarters, he spotted Quincy nearby, rushing toward him."Ian, is it true that Eastdawn is bankrupt?" she asked—she had come after hearing the news too."I'm going there to find out," Ian said. "I'm coming with you," Quincy told him—this was too important. If Eastdawn really was bankrupt, their investment would have be
Kathy snorted coldly, but James suddenly told her, "You should leave. She'll be coming for you."Nonetheless, Kathy was feeling conceited just then, especially since Greg was siding with her."I'm not afraid," she said, and walked over to Quincy, gloating in her face. "Greg has been calling you a hag, but from where I'm standing, that's being too kind, because you are a heinous bitch. You used me to save your son, but I got nothing for it, and even lost my chastity because of that! This is what you deserve!"As she ranted, she kicked Quincy as hard as she could. "I'll make sure you lose everything, just you wait! You're the reason I can't be with Isaac Jefferson, so I'll make sure Greg dumps you and ensure that you're penniless, so that you can wander the streets like a cockroach, trampled by everyone."On the other hand, James was well aware of Quincy's savagery, and Kathy's ramblings would not end well for Kathy herself.Even so, he did not stop Kathy—he simply sighed as he watc
Greg was caught completely off guard!However, he simply felt a stabbing pain over his back and did not know what was actually happening. Wheeling on Quincy, he was ready to lash out at her when he saw the knife in her hand. His pupils dilated as he shrieked, "You bitch!"He promptly made a grab for a hand, but she simply pulled back and eluded his grasp.She was already on a warpath. There was no warmth in her eyes, only murderous spite.She could not tolerate betrayal of such a degree in the first place anyway!Thus, she did not hesitate to stab him squarely in the chest then! "Greg, I've been asking myself many questions, but it turns out that I never betrayed you. But what do I get from you now? Hmm?"Blood was gushing out of Greg's wounds, instantly dyeing his shirt red. Greg had no strength to retaliate at all, and could only glare at Quincy in anguish."You heinous bitch…""I'm heinous?" Quincy laughed coolly. "You did this to me!"Greg suddenly seized her neck wi
Kathy was flailing wildly, pushing Quincy away by brute strength.Even so, Quincy was relentless.Bang! Crash!The house was a mess, even as Quincy finally caught the hem of Kathy's clothing with one hand, while the other stabbed toward her.Kathy could not evade it in time and was first stabbed in the stomach. That left her at Quincy's mercy, and Quincy stabbed her repeatedly until she stopped struggling.Quincy rose to her feet then, wiping the blood that splattered on her face while her lips arched into a cold, demon-like smile. "Trying to beat me? Who do you think you are? I would've made your life a living hell if I hadn't fallen for Isaac Jefferson's trap. I don't have much time, but even if I end up dead, everyone who has betrayed and humiliated me will die too."With that, she let the knife drop out of her hand with a loud clang, but it seemed that it was not enough.Ripping Kathy's dress into shreds, she started to stomp and kick Kathy's body over and over again! Af
Ian was still a little confused as to why there were so many cops, with each of them armed with rifles and tactical shields. The instant they rushed inside the office, they promptly moved to surround him and Quincy!"What…?!"On the other hand, Quincy pulled him up, keeping him behind her as if afraid that he would get hurt. "I'm now the person in charge, so all the blame is on me," she told him quietly. "Remember—don't fight Isaac Jefferson directly.""Mom…""They're here for me, but I regret nothing." Quincy looked at her son longingly. Though she was reluctant to part with him, she had made her choice and could no longer turn back.With a look of resolve, she walked up to the officers with her hands raised."Quincy Moore?" one of them asked as he walked up and cuffed her. "We are arresting you as a suspect of two murders." Ian's eyes widened in disbelief, but he seemed to understand right then. As Quincy was being taken away, she took one last look at her son. She
Isaac grinned even as he stared at his own phone.Stan turned around just then and saw that, and asked in a nosy tone, "Was it something amusing, sir?"Isaac's expression turned serious instantly. "Interested?"Spooked right then, Stan pursed his lips. "Not particularly."James almost laughed at his fearful reaction, and moved closer to ask him quietly, "Can't you toughen up a little?"Stan rolled his eyes at him. "What, and talk tough to the boss? Why don't you do it?""I won't, but at least I won't be as spineless as you were."Stan had no comeback, so he rolled his eyes at James again.Meanwhile, Isaac was watching them. "Now isn't the time to slip up. Keep a close eye on the company.""Yes, sir," James replied, since he was the one in charge.…Meanwhile, Quincy's arrest and Eastdawn's bankruptcy directly brought to light the investment that Light Group made on the latter.The board was in an uproar the instant they found out, and promptly convened for another meeting.
