Zoe was filled with lingering fear. “What if Quinn never forgives me I’m so lucky she came out unhurt. If anything terrible had happened to her, I’d never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
“Don’t blame yourself too much. We still don’t know the whole truth,” Lucy tried to calm her down. “I think we need to figure out Faye’s real reason first.”
“We can’t even meet her to ask anything,” Zoe sighed. “She’s always been rather foolish, and we can never understand what goes on in her head.”
Later, Lucy headed back to the ward entrance. The bodyguard stopped her gently. “Miss Blake, please don’t make this hard for us.”
“Go tell Julian I’ve found something important about the attack on Quinn,” Lucy said.
The guard hurried inside to pass the message. Soon Julian walked out to meet her.
“What have you found? Is it related to Faye?” he asked straight away.

“Julian, I don’t buy her stated motive at all. She never hurt Zoe even once, so there’s no way Quinn just because they’re close. There must be another hidden reason behind this!”

“I’m not letting my guard down for a second. I’ve already sent more people to dig deeper,” Julian replied seriously. “Nothing matters more than Quinn’s safety, and I won’t take this lightly.”
“That’s such a relief,” Lucy said softly. “How is she doing now?”
“She’s still asleep.”
“Thank goodness she’s fine. She must have been really scared. Please comfort her well.”
“I will.” Julian glanced at her. “Anything else?”
“No, I’m leaving now.”
Just as she turned to go, Julian called her back. “Stay out of this whole matter, understand?” He worried
r someone might aim to harm Lucy too.
Lucy nodded in agreement. “I trust you to handle everything properly, I can’t do much anyway. If you get swamped later, I can stay here and keep Quinn company.”
“No need,” Julian refused firmly. “I’ll stay right by her side myself.”
After leaving the hospital, Lucy called Zoe and asked her to share more details about Faye.
Inside the hospital, after hearing Lucy’s words, Julian made several calls to arrange further investigations. In the end, he dialed Mark’s number.
Mark picked up quickly.
“There is definitely something off about Faye and her family,” Julian said coldly. “If you truly had no part in

this incident. I expect to see your sincere efforts to look into it.”
“I will.” Mark agreed without hesitation.

Mark did not contact Faye’s parents directly. Instead, he assigned his own men to look into the matter. Foolish as Faye was, she would never plan such a violent crime without proper cause.
Julian did not fully trust Mark either. He only wanted to test his true attitude. He preferred to avoid turning Mark into a bitter enemy if possible, yet he would never spare any suspects who threatened Quinn’s life.
New clues surfaced soon after. Julian’s people got word from the police station that Faye’s parents looked extremely uneasy after visiting her. They also obtained surveillance footage of their meeting.
Investigators confirmed the couple clearly knew something about the truth. Since Faye kept her mouth covered and spoke in a very low voice, no one could catch her exact words. It was certain that her parents were fully aware of her real motive.
Not a single word about Zoe was mentioned during their talk. That meant Faye’s excuse of wanting to teach Quinn a lesson just for being Zoe’s friend was nothing but a lie.
Julian ordered his men to keep digging. He could not rest easy until every secret behind the case was fully exposed.
Mark also felt uneasy for no clear reason, tangled with restless emotions.
Xenia noticed his odd mood and asked what was wrong/Mark chose to hide the truth from her at first.
“Talk to me. Don’t keep everything bottled up alone,”/Xenia persuaded him gently.
Mark suddenly worried that the failed cooperation would stop him from acquiring the land in Voss City, which meant he could not fulfill Xenia’s long-cherished wish.
He finally spoke up, “A business partner’s wife was hurt in a car accident and is now staying in hospital.”
“You should go visit her then. I can go with you,” Xenia suggested.
“It was Faye who hired people to cause the crash,” Mark told her honestly.
Xenia rarely kept in touch with other relatives from the Jinn family, who had always held prejudice against her, so she never took the initiative to interact with them.
“Faye?” She looked utterly shocked. “Why on earth would she do such a horrible thing?”
“I have no idea. I tried to pay a visit to apologize, but they turned me away.”
“We still ought to go,” Xenia insisted. “You two used to be business partners after all. His wife because of our family member, so it’s only right for us to show our sincere regret.”
“Alright, I’ll go there alone then,” Mark replied.
