“Yeah, it’s probably true,” Rosalie said. “A friend of mine heard it through someone connected to the Dixon family. But the Dixons are keeping completely quiet about it, so most people have no idea.”

Chase frowned. “Maddox has always loved an easy life. The guy hates hardship. Why would he go somewhere like that? And those bodyguards outside Quinn’s place, who sent them?”

“Even if Maddox left the country, it wouldn’t be strange for him to leave a couple of bodyguards behind,” Rosalie said.

Chase’s jaw tightened. “So he really does have his eye on Quinn?”

He scoffed bitterly.

“Quinn really attracts trouble. Men circle around her everywhere she goes.”

The thought made something twist uncomfortably in his chest.

Yet he had already forgotten one simple fact. He was the one who had sent Quinn away in the first place.

Rosalie continued, “I warned you before. Quinn is wonderful in many ways, but sometimes she doesn’t keep enough distance from men.”

Chase frowned. “She was married to me for three years, and I never noticed anything like that.”

He rubbed his forehead. “So what am I supposed to do now? Do I really have to go through with the divorce?”

“You absolutely cannot divorce her,” Rosalie said firmly. “For you, the damage would be huge. Your company, public opinion, your reputation. Any one of those could ruin you.”

A headache began to build behind Chase’s temples.

He had very little experience actually running the company. His father, Charles, still held most of the power. When it came to dealing with complicated situations, Chase knew he lacked the ability.

He looked at Rosalie helplessly.

“Rosalie, what should I do? Tell me what to do.”

Rosalie paused for a moment before answering.

“I’ve been thinking about it. Quinn definitely still loves you. But what you did hurt her deeply. She doesn’t trust you anymore. If you want her to change her mind…”

She stopped for a moment. “There might be only one way.”

Chase immediately leaned forward. “What way?”

Outside the window, the city lights burned bright. Skyscrapers towered everywhere, and it was nearly impossible to see the stars,

The night slowly faded.

A new day began

Chapter 39 A Dangerous Plan

Quinn opened her eyes and stared quietly at the ceiling for a while.

Her thoughts drifted aimlessly.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a faint rustling sound somewhere in the house.

Her heart jumped.

She sat up abruptly, slipped out of bed without even putting on her shoes, and hurried toward the stairs to look downstairs.

“Lucy!”

Lucy was placing the breakfast she had bought onto the dining table. When she heard the voice, she looked up and smiled.

“Quinn! You’re finally awake. Come down and eat!”

Quinn quickly slipped on her shoes and hurried downstairs.

Lucy opened her arms. Quinn ran straight into her embrace, and the two of them laughed as they hugged each other tightly.

But as Quinn laughed, her eyes slowly turned red.

At that moment, she felt that Lucy was the closest person she had in the world.

Only in front of someone who truly cared about you could you allow yourself to feel wronged.

“I had no idea so many things were happening to you,” Lucy said softly. “I wasn’t there for you. I’m really sorry.”

Quinn smiled and gently let go of her. “But you’re here now, aren’t you? That already makes me really happy.”

“Hey, don’t cry.” Lucy wiped the tears from her face. “Trust me, things are going to get better from here on out. Stay far away from that jerk, and life will be nothing but good days.”

“Because… I never told you about my family background,” she said quietly. “I never expected so many things to happen to you, and it turns out they’re connected to Julian.”

Quinm shook her head.

“That doesn’t matter to me. No matter what kind of background you come from, you’re still my best friend. Isn’t that what matters?”

“Of course it is!” Lucy immediately brightened. “That’s exactly what I think too. None of that stuff matters. What matters is that we’re close.”

Quinn nodded. “Right. I hope our friendship will never be affected by anything like that.”

Lucy nodded enthusiastically.

After they finished eating, the two of them moved to the couch to relax.

Lucy suddenly made a confused sound.

“Huh?”

Quinn looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

“The little lamb pillow,” Lucy said, glancing around. “Where did it go?”

She quickly explained, “The one I told you about before, the one that reminded me of you.”

It wasn’t that the pillow looked like Quinn.

Lucy simply thought the little lamb was gentle and sweet, just like Quinn’s personality.

Quinn looked around too.

“I didn’t notice. Wasn’t it always on the couch?”

“Yeah.” Lucy scanned the room, puzzled. “That’s strange. How did it suddenly disappear?”

She shrugged. “Whatever I’ll just buy another one next time.”
