Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 424

Quinn attacked every new lesson with fierce dedication and a brilliant natural aptitude. The more Lillian watched her, the more she liked her.

She had already heard about Quinn divorcing Dante.

It brought a deep sense of relief to Lillian's heart. This girl was nothing like her senior peer had been. Her former associate had thrown away a brilliant design career for a piece of trash, trapping herself in the golden cage of a wealthy marriage, slowly losing her identity until she faded away entirely.

But Quinn knew exactly when to cut her losses. She had cleanly severed ties with Dante and the Hayes family. With her resilience and sheer talent, she was destined to make massive waves in the fashion industry.

Now, Lillian was simply biding her time. The moment Quinn secured first place at the Lumina Couture Awards, Lillian planned to officially take her on as her own protégé.

Later that afternoon, little Leo was taking a nap. Across the cobblestone alley, Raymond stood quietly by the second-floor balcony window.

Caleb stood half a step behind him, keeping his voice to a soft murmur.

"Boss, she's been making incredible progress these past few days. Both Ms. Ambrose and Ms. Quincy are highly optimistic about her final piece. They said that once this landscape embroidery is complete, her qipao will very likely be the favorite to win the entire competition."

The afternoon sun was perfect, spilling fragmented gold across the courtyard below.

Quinn sat quietly in the yard, deeply immersed in her embroidery. The soft lines of her profile were serene, her long lashes lowered in unwavering focus, making her look as though she were enveloped in a gentle, radiant halo.

Watching her, Raymond murmured, "She has always been brilliant."

Caleb glanced at him. After working for Raymond for so many years, this was the absolute first time he had ever seen his boss look at a woman with such profound, soul-deep affection.

It was almost too sweet to handle!

"Caleb," Raymond called out suddenly.

"Go arrange something for me."

Time seemed to fly when she was practicing embroidery. Before she knew it, the clock struck seven. Quinn massaged her aching neck and shoulders before finally stepping out of Aura Studio.

Right outside the alley, Raymond's car was parked quietly.

He was standing next to it, holding Leo's hand, looking as though they had been waiting for a while.

The moment Leo saw his mom, he threw his arms wide open and practically launched himself at her.
