Quincy was starting to feel anxious. "You really don't care?" "Of course, I care. You've already given it to me, right? What am I supposed to do now?" || || "Is there anything else?" "I mean, I'm not the kind of person you think I am! Mr. Lopez, can't you just et about the past, turn over a new leaf, and... get to knowagain?" Now Quincy was regretting her choices.

If she had known they would break up, she definitely wouldn't have done anything to Dorothy! Pretending to be innocent and pure, who couldn't do that? Men always fall for that act.
"So, you chere today just to say this?" "I... suppose so." She wanted to marry Everett, and she wanted him to propose of his own accord.
Having never been in love before, Quincy still harbored sexpectations for love, especially facing someone as perfect as Everett. Having seen how tenderly he had cared for Dorothy, she naturally wanted to experience being chosen by Everett.
"I haven't lost my memory. How can we start over?" Everett seemed intrigued, putting down his documents and leaning back in his chair to look at her.
Quincy bit her lip, "Because of the Caldwell family, I did something terrible to Ms. Sanchez, but it was a means of self-preservation! I hope Mr. Lopez can understand!

But...
"So, what do you suggest? How can you trust me? I promise, if you marry me, I'd never harm you or your family!" "If promises worked, the world wouldn't need police or laws." Everett paused deliberately, then continued, "You have nothing to lose now, and I have no leverage over you. It's a disadvantageous position for the Lopez family. I cannot marry you under these circumstances, however..." Quincy immediately asked, "However, what?" "It's not totally hopeless, depending on whether you're willing to cooperate."
