Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 122

Quinn was completely out of patience for this charade. She handed her phone to Sarah and lifted her chin at Vivienne.

"Vivienne, if you're itching for another beating, just say the word."

"It's still early. We have plenty of time to settle this outside before dinner."

Vivienne shrank back, terrified of fighting Quinn after being thoroughly humiliated the last few times.

Right on cue, Dante walked in. Dressed in a sharp business suit with his hair perfectly styled, he had one hand in his pocket and the other casually holding his phone.

Seeing Quinn standing there, glaring arrogantly at Vivienne as if ready to strike, his brows immediately furrowed.

Vivienne went pale, playing the terrified victim flawlessly as she scurried behind Dante for protection.

"Dante, she lost to me today, and she immediately lashed out the second she saw me. Competitions are about skill, but she is clearly being a sore loser."

She lowered her voice into a pitiful whimper. "She hit me so hard last time that my scalp still aches!"

Dante looked at Quinn, his handsome face turning cold. "You shouldn't take winning and losing so seriously, nor should you lose your temper over it."

"Mr. Hayes, whether I lose my temper depends entirely on whether you can keep your precious darling's mouth shut."

Hearing Quinn refer to Vivienne as his "precious darling," Dante knew it was a thinly veiled insult wrapped in sarcasm.

"The Hayes and Ambrose families go way back. Vivienne is a friend, and besides..."

Quinn didn't even let him finish. She turned back to the receptionist. "Did you find our room?"

"Yes, you are in Room 503."

Quinn nodded and motioned for her team to head toward the elevators.

Dante watched her go. Her slender, beautiful back seemed to radiate an icy detachment, leaving absolutely no room for warmth whenever she dealt with him.

Pulling his gaze away, Dante swallowed his mounting frustration and shot a dark warning glare at Vivienne and Maya.

"Didn't I tell you not to provoke her?"
