NovelEnglish"Mom and Dad only setup with this one." Quincy didn't beat around the bush, giving Dorothy a straightforward answer.
"He won't ever marry you." That was Dorothy's confidence speaking! "Mr. Lopez said the sthing. He toldthat before," Quincy inserted the needle into her vein, watching the blood flow out with an indifferent gaze. "Mr. Lopez has always been consistent." Dorothy raised an eyebrow, sensing there was more to Quincy's story.
"The only one who hasn't been consistent is me," Quincy finally continued after a pause.

Quincy had never shown the slightest interest in him before.
"I don't know," she said, tugging at her lip, mostly focused on drawing the blood. "Honestly, I'm not lying to you, and there's no reason forto." "You've seen with your own eyes how much Everett loves me. Falling for him is a dead-end," Dorothy said, not backing down. "Do I need to tell you about Heather's story?" Quincy shook her head, "No need. I've heard bits and pieces from my father, and Jonathan mentioned something when he cto see me. That girl, Heather, she truly loved Mr. Lopez." "And you want to be the next her?" "Of course not." Quincy calmly removed the needle, chuckling, "But I won't make the sfoolish mistakes as Miss Heather!" Dorothy felt a sense of danger.
Even though Heather was ruthless and did numerous evil deeds, her actions were superficial and easily exposed.
Quincy, however, seemed different, more calculating.
You said before that you didn't wan o be involved, that you vehemently efused to enter into an arranged narriage with Everett!" Content felongs to sw. Content S "That was then," Quincy replied, locking eyes with Dorothy. "You also said you'd never give up the lawsuit, that you'd fight against the Lopez family to the end. Didn't I ask you? I hoped you could make it work with Mr Lopez, stop fighting with the Lopez family." But what did Dorothy say? She flatly refused.
"This is betweenand the Lopez family. What does it have to do with Dr. Quincy?" "It had nothing to do with me, but as et long as you keep up the lawsuit, refusing to make peace with Mr. Lopez, I'm dragged into this, made the scapegoat! I'm losing my freedom, becoming a pawn in business." Was Quincy not allowed to be resentful? vel She felt innocent in this, dragged into a situation she had no part in creating.
"I'm agreeing to drop the lawsuit now. It's Everett who doesn't want to." "It's too late." Quincy packed up the blood sample. "I asked you before, gave you a choice. Remember? In the hospital." That second visit to Dorothy, Quincy had already made her calculations.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had given Dorothy a chance, which was refused.
Now, giving her a second chance, if Dorothy still refused, Quincy wouldn't offer any more chances.
She had to look out for herself.
"You even askedif I'd marry Everett." Quincy had given her an answer.
Yes.
