"Oh, nothing much," replied Simeon with a sneer. "Just want my buddies here to snap a few pictures with you, sis. As long as you play nice and follow Dad's and my orders, these photos will never see the light of day. Otherwise... well, I can't promise anything." Patience was not a virtue Simeon possessed, especially not when dealing with his sister. But he needed her connection to the Lopez family-a connection that was as good as striking gold. To think many in the business world would kill for an introduction to Everett, and his sister had gone and married the man! Left with no other choice, Simeon resorted to this distasteful plan.
"Are you out of your mind?! Simeon, I'm your sister!" Quincy knew her brother had no good intentions by dragging her here, but she never imagined he would stoop so low.
"Oh, now you remember you're my sister? Weren't you the one screaming about cutting ties with us?" Simeon rolled his eyes, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one up. "Relax, my friends here are tight-lipped. Just enjoy the attention, sis." At Simeon's words, the two men beside him burst into laughter.

But do you think the Lopez Corporation would stand for that? They'll just send someone to negotiate and buy off the photos." Simeon was almost giddy with the power he held over the Lopez Corporation—a feat few could boast of.
"Why wouldn't they? If Everett divorcesit won't affect the Lopez Corporation!" Quincy was desperately trying to buy time, looking for any chance to escape, though she knew her chances were slim. QUMS "A scandal of this magnitude? The Lopez Corporation would never allow it." "Our marriage was a business arrangement. You don't think he actually loves me, do you?" Simeon shrugged indifferently. "Doesn't matter if he loves you. You're his wife, and that's enough!" "But I'm not married to him yet!" "Don't worry, I'm not going to show these photos to Everett right now." He smirked coldly. "Sis, don't bother trying to stall for time. What's the use? Who's going to save you?" With a nod from Simeon, the two men started approaching with mocking laughter, "Playing hard to get now? You'll see how much fun we're going to have!" "Hey, boss, is your sister still a virgin? Hahaha-" Quincy trembled with every demeaning word they uttered.
