Chapter 220 Focus on the Good
The maid had already reported what happened. Yesterday, when Quinn had come alone, Harold and Donna had shown up too. They’d taken advantage of Peyton’s absence to harass her relentlessly.
Peyton was furious-seething with anger. Those people had gone too far. They usually held back when he was around, but with him gone, they’d let their true colors show.
Most of all, he couldn’t believe they’d disrespected him like this. Everything he did was for Iris. If it weren’t for her, he’d never tolerate their nonsense.
“It’s okay-I never pay them any mind,” Quinn said calmly. “I know they’re up to no good. They just can’t see how much you care about your grandma.
“Honestly, your grandma’s health issues are all their fault. If they’d spent more time with her, made her happy, if the whole family had stuck together, things would never have gotten this bad. They’re so heartless. Your grandma raised your dad and uncle with so much love and hard work, and this is how they repay her. It’s heartbreaking. If I were her, I’d be even more devastated.”
Quinn felt deeply for Iris. She took such good care of her because she wanted to bring her warmth. Iris deserved so much better-she was already so old, yet she still had to stand up to those selfish relatives. They’d never truly appreciated how much she’d sacrificed.
“If they have complaints, they should come to me,” Peyton snapped. “I won’t let them drag you into this. I won’t let you be wronged. You’ve never done anything to hurt them. Why do they keep targeting you?
“Don’t worry. I’ll fix this. I promise this will never happen again.”
He spoke with unshakable resolve. He’d said it before, and he meant it. Those people could take their anger out on him all they wanted, but they’d never lay a finger on the woman he loved.
Quinn had never done anything to them. She’d always let their rudeness slide. But they just wouldn’t let up -they were relentless.
