Suppressing her anger, Haley flashed a slight smile. “Aunt, you really have a lot on your mind. I'm Quinlee, Nathan's fiancée. Did you forget?" Her sweet voice made Nancy frown. Taking a closer look, she recognized the woman in front of her as Quinlee. But in her memory, Quinlee always wore traditional clothes and had a gentle, elegant aura-she never wore colored contact lenses. Seeing those deep sapphire eyes now felt oddly irritating.

Nancy remained cold, "Years ago, when our families joined through marriage, my son was deployed right after he got engaged to you. What past could you possibly have?" Haley realized her mistake and quickly clarified. "Even if Nathan and I didn't see each other much, we were in contact before the accident.

You better not show up in front ofagain!" Nancy said before grabbing her bag and preparing to leave.
"Aunt, I understand you're upset about Nathan being drugged in Jinerity. The Janssen family is using all our resources to investigate, and the police are involved," Haley followed as Nancy attempted to walk away. "But you know, sthings just can't be uncovered. The truth of what happened that night likely only Layton knows!" Nancy froze, "Layton?!"
Haley smiled slyly. "That night, he was the one who took Miss Ellie to your younger son's room. During that time, he was also the one who stopped the server to borrow a lighter for drinks, and after everything went down, he left in the dead of night.
