She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 549

"Your gambling addict of a father gave it to me, obviously! He took my money and sold your personal information. If you drag the cops into this, the first person they're going to arrest is him."

"Don't believe me? Call him right now. See what he has to say."

"Oh, and by the way, there's a little something else I haven't mentioned yet. Remember when your dad secretly stole building materials from that construction site to sell? It caused a localized structural collapse."

"It wasn't a massive disaster, but it ended up crushing a worker's leg. The foreman was fully prepared to have your dad locked up. I was the one who paid them off to keep his pathetic life out of jail."

Furious beyond words, Quinn slapped her hard across the face. "Polly Parrish, you haven't changed one bit! You are just as vicious and manipulative as you've always been!"

Serena clutched her stinging cheek. If she hadn't noticed a few pedestrians walking by, she absolutely would have hit her right back.

"Quinn, if you want to push this, I promise I will make both you and your father pay dearly!"

After spitting out her threat, she turned on her heel and stormed off, still clutching her face.

Quinn immediately dialed her father's number. No wonder he had been so unusually quiet lately, not bothering her for cash. So this was why...

The phone rang seven or eight times before Arthur finally answered. "Hello? What do you want? I'm right in the middle of something."

"Arthur, your turn! Play a card already!"

Hearing the distinct chatter of a poker game in the background, a tidal wave of irrepressible anger and profound disappointment crashed over Quinn.

"Dad, did you sell my identity to Polly Parrish?"

Arthur froze, his entire body going rigid. How did his daughter find out so fast?

But there was no way he was going to confess. "Quinn, what... what are you talking about? I don't know any Polly."

"I'm busy right now. The guys are waiting on me to work. I... I gotta go."

"Fine. So Polly was lying. That makes things simple. I'm calling the cops to have her arrested right now."

"Wait, Quinn, don't! Isn't Polly your friend? I remember you bringing her home for dinner when you were kids. Can't you just talk it out?"

"I thought you didn't know who Polly was? How did you magically remember?"

Later, she visited the nursing home. Her mother, Martha, was having one of her less lucid days, but after chatting for a bit, she finally recognized her daughter.

Martha softly asked if someone was bullying her.

Leaning her head against her mother's chest, Quinn silently nursed her own emotional wounds, refusing to say a word.

She couldn't tell her mom about these disgusting, exhausting disasters. It would only cause her unnecessary pain.

Arthur kept blowing up her phone, making excuses. He claimed he only sold her information to Polly because Quinn had refused to answer his calls or give him money.

Quinn replied with a single, final message: She was officially severing their relationship. Whatever happened to him from now on was no longer her problem.

...

The next morning, Quinn and Ethan took the two kids to the preschool they had previously toured.

To ensure Caleb could finally take his mask off and enjoy a normal childhood, Ethan had intentionally selected a highly secure, private preschool far away from the city center.
