Chapter 327 Tomorrow and Tragedy
Sam burst into fury upon hearing Quinn. He took out all the anger from the indignity he experienced today on Quinn and gripped her wrist hard. “Don’t disobey me. You cannot leave me unless I’m tired of you.”
“Don’t forget. Your brother still owes a lot of gambling debt.” “If you don’t pay his debt, your family…”
Quinn’s red lips curved into a smile. “It seems you have no idea. My brother jumped off a building and killed himself last night.” Sam was stunned. In the next second, Quinn raised her hand and slapped him.
As they were in public, many people glanced at them. Furthermore, Sam was a lot older than Quinn. There was also a significant gap between their appearances. Thus, many people began to whisper amongst themselves.
Sam quickly took out his sunglasses, fearing people would recognize him. Quinn’s smile grew even more apparent as she went to hug Sam. She knew Jean was taking photos.
Then, she whispered into his ear. “Don’t look for me. I have evidence that you forced yourself on me. If you threaten me, I will release everything, so everyone knows what kind of monster you are.”
After all, she had nothing to lose. Now that she had gotten free of her leech of a brother, it was time for her freedom.
Then, she let go of her hand, grabbed her small backpack, and took the escalator to the security checkpoint.
Sam could only look on with anger and frustration. He soon left.
Jean was quite satisfied with the photos she took. She bumped the stunned Ben with her elbow and said, “Let’s go.”
“You have better explain to me. What’s going on?”
As they left, Jean briefly explained Quinn and her plan to him.
Ben was utterly shocked.
“That old b*stard!”
Jean glanced out of the window and grunted softly in the affirmative.
“You should expose him now and humiliate him so he can never leave his house.” Ben wanted to help Quinn seek revenge for what she suffered.
It saddened him that she was under that scoundrel’s control for five years.
Jean looked at the scenery and replied softly, “It’s not the right time yet.”
She still had another matter that she needed to find out.
Even if she released the scandalous materials, it would not cause much damage to Sam but make things complicated for her.
Ben heard her response and felt she sounded more tired than usual.
“Would you like to travel overseas with me to relax? I have a project overseas. It is…” As he was still speaking, he suddenly realized Jean had fallen asleep.
Thus, he looked away and sighed. “I’ll send you home.”
Jean slept unusually well that night.
She had returned to her childhood in her dream when her father brought her with him to the countryside for sightseeing. Then, they came to the village where Mr. Jevin stayed.
She saw him waving at her from afar.
“Kid, you still have a long life. You must live well,” Mr. Jevin said.
He then turned around and walked away, gradually disappearing from her sight.
“No…”
Jean opened her eyes and realized it was a dream.
She took out her phone to check the time. It was four in the morning. There were two messages from Edgar.
She read the messages and felt her heart beating fast.
Then, she called him on the phone. “Which hospital is he at? I’ll head there now.”
She rushed out of bed and refused to believe her dream was a premonition. It turned out Mr. Jevin had a medical emergency in the middle of the night and had been sent to a hospital in the city.
When she rushed to the hospital, the doctors were still trying to save Mr. Jevin.
Edgar stood still outside the operating room. When he saw Jean had rushed here without her coat, he frowned, walked to her, and draped his jacket over her shoulders.
Jean tried to push it away but to no avail.
