"Quincy! Get this guy out of here, he's blocking my way!" Outside, the bodyguard had stopped him, and Ronin could only stand at the door, shouting.
Quincy got so annoyed she even considered calling the cops! Now, she didn't feel any connection to the Caldwell family, but if she called the police, who knows if Ronin might drag her down with him.
Or even turn the tables on her! Without the Caldwell backing, she wouldn't stand a chance, not just in Eldorria City, but in all of Swevia Country. Once respected as a member of the Caldwell family, if everyone knew she was at odds with them, it wouldn't bode well.

I'm just playing tug of over him, I'm not worried about him calling off the marriage!" "Leverage?" Ronin always knew how to focus on the key points.
He stepped forward, only to be stopped by the bodyguard again, left standing at the door.
"You mean, Everett is under your control now? Then make him marry family 019 you, before the Lopez family announces another woman as their daughter-in-law, it'll be too late!" "Why should I rush?" "Our Caldwell family business-"
"What's that got to do with me?" Quincy cut him off, "I told you, the last tI helped the Caldwell family was the last! Whatever happens, don't draginto it." Ronin was desperate, "But you promised you'd make Everett marry you!" X
