Jared Quinn turned his head to glance at her, carefully moving her head into his embrace with his large hand, while the other hand supported it, making her sleep even more stable and comfortable. Even though he knew she was pretending to sleep, he still went through the motions.
The couple up front seed deeply in love, leaving no room for anyone else to intervene.
"Mr. Quinn and Miss Thorne seem to have a very good relationship," Mrs. Thorne spoke.
"Mom," Rochelle Thorne quickly tugged at Mrs. Thorne’s sleeve, raising her voice a notch, "She’s not the Thorne family’s eldest daughter, I am. Her marriage should rightfully be mine. She used the Thorne family’s identity to take my place. Now that I’ve returned, we need to clear things up. She can leave; I’m staying here."
She spoke so brazenly that the servants in the hall had already changed expressions, unaware of this secret.
"Rochelle," Mrs. Thorne tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"Jared, I’m thirsty~" lody Thorne’s soft, sweet voice ca floating from Jared Quinn’s embrace, laced with a hint of coquettishness.
"Ma’am, Ma’am, there’s water here," a servant quickly approached.
lody didn’t move, she didn’t even bother to lift her hand, whereas Jared had already accepted the water from the servant, lifted her head, and brought the water to her lips.
lody took two sips, lowered her head again, and leaned back into Jared’s embrace, not lifting her eyes even once throughout.
Mrs. Thorne couldn’t sit still watching this; she had visited the Thorne house, where there were many photos of lody Thorne and Finn Thorne as children.
There were relatively few of Finn, but most were of lody, with her being doted upon. It was clear how much she had been pampered in the past.
"Rochelle, why don’t we head back first?"
"Mom, why would we head back? Aren’t we here today to clarify things? If we leave, won’t the Quinn family think that our Thorne family deceived them? Using a fake heiress, if this spreads, it won’t be good for us," Rochelle Thorne said.
Turning around, she walked over to lody Thorne on the sofa, "Get up, stop pretending. You want to hog this spot and not leave, right? Do you even know what sha is?"
lody lazily opened her eyes, glanced at Rochelle, "I think there’s one thing you probably don’t understand."
"What?" Rochelle glared at her.
Footsteps sounded outside the villa, and lody sat up accordingly, her slender fingers pointing to the doorway and the woman who had just entered, "See her? The issue isn’t whether I leave or not, it’s that there are too many people seeking the Quinn family. Like that woman, she claims that the young lord of Quinn Corporation is her biological son, and she also wants the main wife’s position."
lody leaned casually, retrieving her hand and placing it on Jared’s shoulder, exuding a sense of queenly authority.
She, the legitimate wife, was battling with a group of concubines.
Jared Quinn raised a brow, picked up a nearby financial newspaper and started reading.
Three won put up quite a show, let them have their drama.
"What?" Rochelle Thorne’s expression had changed. Although she had just arrived, she’d already learned a great deal about the Quinn Corporation, including the well-known young lord.
He actually has a biological mother? Soone else is circling the Quinn family while Jared has lody as a wife. What a ss!
"You’re not allowed to go in!" Rochelle Thorne had already reached the door, blocking Sheryl Lancaster who was walking in from outside.
