Half a month later, Quinn visited a private clinic.
The Hayes family had been pressuring them to have a child, but Dante was meticulous about birth control. Given their infrequent intimacy, Quinn had never gotten pregnant.
The family forced Dante to freeze his sperm at the clinic and hounded Quinn to hurry up and do IVF.
In the past, whenever Dante took the brunt of his mother's nagging without blaming her for not conceiving, she had felt touched.
She had genuinely believed Dante cared for her and was looking out for her.
Now, it was glaringly obvious that Dante was just keeping himself pure for his precious first love. It was utterly disgusting!
According to schedule, today was supposed to be the day of her IVF procedure. She had come to the clinic fully intending to cancel the surgery.
But by pure coincidence, she watched as two young nurses accidentally knocked over Dante's frozen sperm vial from the cryogenic storage cabinet.
The Hayes family were powerful VIPs in Riverton. Spilling the sample was a severe dereliction of duty. Even with ten times the courage, the nurses wouldn't dare call him back for another sample.
Terrified of losing their jobs, the two secretly took a nearby anonymous sperm vial and poured it into Dante's container, seamlessly completing the swap.
Quinn witnessed the entire ordeal but didn't step forward to expose them.
It was also in that exact moment that she suddenly changed her mind.
Lying on the operating table, she watched as the fertilized egg—a union of her egg and a complete stranger's sperm—was slowly implanted into her body.
Now, three years had passed. Her son, Leo, was already two years old, and there were only ten days left on her three-year marriage contract with Dante.
Just ten days left. She needed to find Dante and get him to sign the divorce papers immediately.
While printing the divorce papers, Quinn also printed out a property division agreement.
Dante rarely came home, but Quinn knew he was attending a banquet at Silent Peak Manor tonight, so she tracked him down.
After finding out Dante was on the second floor, Quinn headed straight up.
Even though Leo was young, she didn't want him witnessing the ugly fallout between her and his father.
There happened to be a small children's play area near the staircase landing, so she instructed Maria to wait there with Leo.
The second floor had numerous VIP viewing booths. Unsure of which one Dante was in, Quinn searched around.
Just as she was about to give up, loud laughter and chatter drifted from a booth with a slightly ajar door.
"Dante, how much longer are you going to string Quinn along? When are you getting a divorce so you can marry Vivienne?"
