She decided to give Jared Quinn a chance to know the truth. Maybe, if he said it, she’d feel better and would tell him the truth, saving him from imprisoning others without understanding the true situation.
"Only a foolish woman would like to hear such words," Jared Quinn sneered. "lody Thorne, don’t be as foolishly pitiable as before, easily believing anyone who talks to you. Maybe even if they say they’ll do sothing, they won’t actually do it."
But he could achieve things even without saying them.
lody Thorne leaned against Jared Quinn’s chest without any movent, breathing lightly as if she had fallen asleep.
Perhaps knowing she couldn’t see him now, Jared Quinn’s stern features beca even more taut, with even the area behind his ears turning red.
He had always been used to being cold and arrogant, never having spoken such words to any woman. So, when lody Thorne wanted him to say it, his usually fast-operating business mind jamd, and he ended up saying those inconsequential words.
The word "love" simply didn’t exist in Jared Quinn’s dictionary.
To say it out loud was impossible for him. He had never considered whether he loved or didn’t love soone.
He only knew one thing: lody Thorne was his. She would always be his, never able to escape the palm of his hand,
The vehicle suddenly fell into silence, with the driver even finding it difficult to swallow his saliva.
"Back to the villa," Jared Quinn finally uttered a few words in a low voice.
"Yes, sir."
On the way back, President Quinn started thinking about questions of love that he had never pondered over in the past twenty-odd years of his life.
What he didn’t know was, when he woke up one day, close to regretting it to the point of questioning life, he would wonder why he didn’t confess sooner.
The next day, lody Thorne received calls from Kiki Sutton and Nina King. Whenever Jared Quinn was involved, her trending topics would rise and fall quickly. A minimal explanation would dismiss it as a misunderstanding.
But Jared Quinn always had a strong sense of possessiveness. He had the photos taken by the bodyguards posted all over the headlines, quickly making Ashton Young infamous, his reputation in ruins.
After the Yang family discovered the connection to the Quinn Corporation, they didn’t dare to say much. Kenneth Young made a few visits to the Quinn Group but was turned away every ti.
And Ashton Young could only hide to avoid the reporters.
"Hello?" lody Thorne answered Kiki Sutton’s call.
"lody, I’m outside the Quinn Group right now. Could you co over? I want to et Jared Quinn and ask him to let Ashton Young go. It’s not his fault; he was set up. lody, could you help , please?"
lody Thorne fell silent for a mont. She was actually eager for Jared Quinn to deal with Ashton Young so Kiki could avoid trouble, but outright refusing would distance her from Kiki.
"Alright, I’ll go see Jared Quinn later. I’ll beg him to let Ashton Young go. You go ahead to your shoot, and I’ll call you afterward."
Kiki had intended to go with her, but Jared Quinn certainly wouldn’t see her, so she could only wait to see how things unfolded.
After getting up, lody Thorne headed to the Quinn Group.
Jared Quinn, who had a morning eting scheduled, postponed it because this was the first ti lody Thorne proactively ca to his office, claiming she wanted to keep him company.
Upon entering the Quinn Group, lody Thorne didn’t see Sheryl Lancaster. She knew that woman’s tragic life of captivity had already begun, though she was still cluelessly dreaming.
PS: So conflicted. My draft has reached the Seymour Family. Should lody Thorne leave or not? Everyone, give so suggestions, I’ll listen to you!!!
