“Quincy,” Dorothy's voice sharpened with a warning, “If Everett is willing to marry you, then that's your business! But don’t cflaunting it to me.”

Flaunting.

The word struck Quincy like a blow.

“Seems like you and Mr. Lopez aren't exactly on the best of terms, huh? Thinking I'm calling just to show off.”

“You know exactly why you called! Since we're laying it all out today, letbe clear! Everett is an adult; what he wants to do, what he decides to do, |

can't control, nor do | have the right to. Whether he marries you or not, that's between you two! But, if you think of mistreating my kids, laying a finger

on Abigail and Langston, | won't let it slide!”

“Don’t underestimate a mother’s power.”

After her words, there was a long silence from Quincy's end. It lasted so long Dorothy thought she had hung up, but then she finally spoke.

“You two really had a fallout?”

“Quincy, stop playing dumb! This fallout, isn’t it what you wanted? You must be thrilled.”

Truth be told, Quincy wasn’t keen on seeing this.

Her leverage over Everett relied on his ongoing concern for Dorothy. This was also why Quincy couldn't quite figure out what she truly wanted,

whether she genuinely liked Everett.

Because she thought, if she truly fell for Everett, she’d want him all to herself with a possessive passion! That's what love is supposed to be, right?

Yet, in reality, she hoped Everett would keep Dorothy in his heart, prioritizing her. At least until Everett fell for her, Quincy hoped his affection for

Dorothy remained unwavering.

Now, seeing them at odds, potentially breaking up, Quincy panicked, afraid. All thoughts of love and romance flew out the window.

Her words had been probing the current state of Dorothy and Everett's relationship! And now, it seemed there were indeed troubles.

If it were all an act, Everett wouldn't be so calmly out of touch; he would have hinted something to her!

The more indifferent Everett seemed, the more unsettling it felt to Quincy.

The fear grew within her.

If Everett started not to care about Dorothy, wouldn't her threats becineffective?

That couldnt happen.

Absolutely not.

With no tto waste, Quincy pulled out her phone and dialed Everett's number.

But no one answered.

She wanted to stay calm, but how could she with stakes so high?

Unable to reach Everett, she had no choice but to call Jonathan.

“Jonathan, it's Quincy.”

“Yes, that’s the case.”

Quincy coughed lightly, probing, “And Mr. Lopez... he agreed?”

“He? Of course not! But, | have a feeling that this time, he might listen to me.”

“Why's that?”

Jonathan's question sent a colder chill through Quincy's heart.
