"But Uncle, I now..."
"Alright then, it’s settled!" Edward Quinn said firmly, not allowing any objections.
Mabel Quinn stared blankly at her phone, montarily lost and unable to react.
"What’s wrong? Was that your uncle on the phone just now?" Alice Conley leaned in and asked.
"Yeah, my uncle wants to move to a different place," Mabel said. "He said there was a break-in at my place last night, and it’s not safe. He’ll pick up after work today, and then I’ll pack my things to move."
Alice was startled by what she heard, "What, there was a break-in at your place? Are you alright, did anything get stolen?"
"I’m fine, nothing was stolen. But Daniel Harris got injured on the arm while helping retrieve the longevity lock, lost quite a bit of blood," Mabel replied.
Alice suddenly rembered sothing, "Oh, my parents said you and a guy took ho yesterday. Was that guy Daniel Harris?"
"Yeah." She nodded, "Yesterday, when I was going to take you ho, he called and ended up helping to take you back with ."
"Speaking of which, Daniel Harris probably really cares about you," Alice remarked with a sigh. "When he apologized to Grace Yowell for you back at the police station, I really wanted to slap him, but now, after you and Kyle Kinston broke up, he’s the one still by your side. It’s truly unpredictable how things turn out."
Upon noticing her friend’s gloomy expression, Alice quickly added, "I’m sorry, sotis I just speak without thinking, just forget I said anything." Why ntion Kyle Kinston, wasn’t that just rubbing salt in Mabel’s wounds?
Mabel exhaled a breath, smiled, and said, "There’s nothing to apologize for, you’re just stating the truth. Things really are unpredictable."
"So, you and Daniel Harris..."
"Mabel, did you and Daniel Harris go to the Tavern last night?" Suddenly, a coworker’s voice rang out.
In an instant, many eyes in the office were fixed on Mabel Quinn’s face.
Mabel almost choked on her own saliva, and Alice quickly asked, "What’s going on?"
"A netizen took photos of Mabel and Daniel Harris entering a hotel and posted them online," the coworker explained.
Alice leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, it was true.
"Yesterday, my place was broken into, and Mr. Harris just accompanied to take care of the hotel check-in. Only I went into the room," Mabel calmly stated the truth.
But imdiately, a dissenting voice spoke up, "How convenient is it that your place gets broken into and Daniel Harris just happens to be there to help you check into a hotel? Mabel Quinn, if you’re going to lie, at least prepare a better story. I never realized you’d move on so quickly and latch onto Daniel Harris. Though I heard Daniel Harris is quite heartless. Didn’t that actress Grace Yowell stay with him for ten years, only for him to testify against her when an issue arose? Grace’s downfall is all over the news, haven’t you seen it? Don’t tell you want to be the next Grace Yowell."
There was only one person in the office who would say sothing like that, and it was Indigo Quigley.
Mabel looked at Indigo and coldly smiled, "Whether I beco the next Grace Yowell, that’s not your concern. However, I can assure you that if you keep talking like this for no reason, you will beco the next Grace Yowell. And if you really think I’ve latched onto Daniel Harris, tell , if I repeat what you just said to him, do you think you can continue in this circle?"
