NovelEnglishChapter 1305
"I'm definitely on your side. We can't let Quincy stay blind to the truth, but you also need to think about your
health. If you push yourself too hard and get sick, won't that tear our family apart?" Mr. Perez continued to
reassure her. He couldn't bear it if his wife fell ill, especially if it was their son who had driven her to that point.
Mrs. Perez was about to respond when an idea struck her. She quickly pulled him down to sit beside her. "| just
thought of something. Quincy doesn't want to see us now, but if | were in the hospital, say in the ICU, would he
really ignore me?"
"You can't joke around with your health like that," Mr. Perez replied immediately, rejecting the idea. The ICU was
for serious cases, and he couldn't let his wife fake such a thing.
She slapped her thigh in frustration. "You're so rigid. Does someone have to actually be sick to get into the ICU?
As long as we have money, we can arrange anything we need."

All she wanted was to use the ICU as a ruse to bring Quincy back, to force him closer to Tiffany. It would be just a
performance, not real.
Mr. Perez chuckled, shaking his head at his own lack of imagination. "You know, even when we were young, |
could never keep up with your quick thinking. Now that we're older, I'm even slower. But you're right. Quincy's a
dutiful son. No matter how much he loves Lydia, he won't abandon his parents."
Quincy was their only child. They had poured all their love and every bit of their resources into raising him,
spending everything to give him the best opportunities. How could he ever turn his back on them after all they
had invested in him?
Even if Lydia had been whispering in
his ear, it wouldn't make a difference, especially now that she was out of the picture. This was
their chance, and they were determined to seize it. They would take advantage of the situation and drive a
permanent wedge between him and Lydia once and for all.
"We should bring Mabel back too," she added. "They were close growing up. If anyone can talk sense into
Quincy, it's her."
The following morning, Quincy's
cousin, Mabel Perez, arrived after
taking toff from college. As soon as she walked through the door, Mrs. Perez handed her an envelope of
cash. Just feeling the thickness, Mabel could tell it held a considerable sum.
"What's this?" she asked, startled, trying to give it back. "It's too much. | can't accept this."

"Yes, you can. It's a token of our appreciation. Please, just take it," Mrs. Perez insisted, pressing the envelope into
her hands. "All we ask is a little help."
At first, Mabel was hesitant. "I think
vel
it's better to avoid interfering in someone's marriage. If Quincy hadn't married her yet, that'd be different. But
they're already married. | can't be the one to encourage a divorce."
Then she saw the photo. And with Mr. and Mrs. Perez piling on more details, her face grew red with anger. "So
what if she's the Fay family heiress? Quincy is an incredible guy. How could she treat him like that?" Cheating
within a marriage, man or woman, was utterly repulsive to her. If Lydia didn't value him, she never should have
married him in the first place.
"Don't worry," Mabel declared with renewed determination. "I'll make sure to drive them apart so Quincy can
cback to his senses."
