Chapter 526
Quintus then went to the Ballards with Jada to look for Zachariah.
“Miss Jada! What brings you to me today?” Zachariah asked the two of them after taking his seat. Beside him were Zenoah, Sheila, and a few others.
Jada smiled and then said again, “Mister Zachariah, this is my fiance, Quintus Novak. He’s the scion of the Novaks-a second-tier family in Riverson!”
“Hello, Mister Quintus!” Zachariah’s eyes lit up when he heard that. After all, second-tier families from Riverson were incredibly influential, and they were much stronger than first-tier families in Brookbourn. Though they were still some ways from being on the same level as Brookbourn Mansion, the forces from Riverson should never be taken lightly..

Sheila immediately smiled and said, “I was wondering how a scion from one of Riverson’s second-tier families would get beaten up so badly. Did you forget to bring your bodyguards with you when you went out?”
Quintus’s lips twitched a few times as he finally said, “My injuries are due to Severin and Diane.”
“What? My handsome Severin did that?” Sheila frowned instantly after hearing that and she said to him, He usually keeps a very low profile and hates causing trouble. Did you offend him first, Quintus? Wait, you mentioned that Diane has something to do with it, right? Did you fall in love with her and get beaten up as
