Jared Quinn descended the stairs slowly, each step asured, exuding a chilly aura, the kind that was icy cold.
The enchantress upstairs said that to win over a woman, a man must be patient with her; otherwise, she would not only avoid his net but escape even faster.
He held her for a while, wanting to sleep, but couldn’t bear it and ended up taking a cold shower for an hour, at the lowest temperature, near freezing.
The man sat on the sofa, his eyes darkening, his large hand casually rubbing his chin. "How do you know I disdain her?"
Right now, she was the one he was most interested in!
Almost everyone thought so, even lody Thorne thought so, believing he disdained her.
George Adler couldn’t grasp the man’s mood or temperant in front of him, but he was absolutely sure about this matter. "She deliberately got close to my daughter and was very near to her, so my daughter says, in fact, you don’t want to marry her."
"Oh, is that so?" The man replied with a tone as light as a breeze.
"So, this ti with the woman making a move against our Ivy, I certainly can’t let her off. Young Master, you can also take the opportunity to get rid of this woman, right?" George Adler continued to press on.
"Get rid of her?" Jared Quinn’s long fingers slid across his sharp chin. "Who said I want to get rid of her?"
"Then you?" George Adler began to find him unpredictable.
"The matter at the studio implicated my wife, so I will of course have it investigated thoroughly. But if anyone dares to create chaos and stir trouble, no matter who, the Quinn Family will be the first not to spare her!" Jared Quinn’s eyes restrained as he gave his warning.
George Adler’s body shuddered violently. In the treacherous business world, no one was unaware of Jared Quinn’s ruthless thods, but this ti he ntioned the word wife, clearly intending to protect that woman and investigate personally.
"Young Master, are you shielding that woman now? Have you forgotten? Years ago, Ivy nearly drowned to save you. Even considering that incident, can’t you help her just once? Poor my Avril, we don’t even know if she’s dead or alive now."
George Adler intentionally brought up the past. Ivy said that as long as he ntioned those past events, Jared Quinn would certainly relent.
lody Thorne stood at the staircase, arms crossed, watching below...
"Butler," Jared Quinn paused for a second or two, his long fingers tapping twice on the sofa.
The butler understood his aning imdiately and handed a check to George Adler. "In the past, our Young Master has helped the Adler Family quite a bit, but there always has to be a conclusion soti. The Adler Family is in difficulty now and needs money, so take this check."
"Is Young Master wanting to dismiss the past with a check?" George Adler’s expression changed.
"You can take it or leave it," Jared Quinn stood up, clearly out of patience. "However, I will find out the truth, and no one can falsely accuse my wife, Jared Quinn’s wife."
His eyes were locked on the little woman upstairs who was watching the scene.
"The matter between you and my daughter should wait until Ivy is rescued and then discussed," George Adler wisely did not take the check.
Ivy was determined to sche against lody Thorne, what cos next will depend on her actions.
Jared Quinn went upstairs, grasping the woman’s chin with a sense of condescension. "Satisfied?"
"It’s fine," lody Thorne said blandly, shook off his hand, and was about to leave, turning hostile imdiately.
