Chapter 645
Inside the bedroom, Quinn broke down in tears while leaning on the door. Very quickly, she remembered what Lola told her and immediately ceased the tears.
Lola told her that so long as she obeyed her orders, Lola would help to avenge her father. Had it not been for Ezekiel and Catelyn stealing her mother from them, she and her father would not have lived in such misery. Missing his lost wife, her father ended up diagnosed with cancer after working himself to the ground to make ends meet.
Quinn would never forgive them for stealing Stella from them.
She remained in the room until Stella called her out for dinner.
When she walked out of the room, her eyes were swollen, but the tears had finally stopped.
Catelyn understood what it was like to lose a father and took the initiative to hand her a tube of ointment. "This is great for reducing swelling."
Quinn accepted it while suppressing the resentment inside. "Thank you."
"I've lost my father, too, so I know how you feel. Your aunt and I are your family now. Let US know if you're struggling with anything." Catelyn tapped her on the shoulder.
Where Catelyn touched felt as though it was on fire as Quinn sneered internally, 'Ezekiel Clark stole someone else's wife. He deserves to die!'
She grabbed onto the ointment tightly and asked gingerly, "I've just arrived in Sapphire City, and I have no family or job here. Can you help me find a job?"
Stella, desperately wishing that she could make everything up to Quinn, turned to Cedrick pleadingly. "Master Cedrick, you’re the CEO of Mason Group, right? Can you help Quinn?"
Stella knew that Catelyn was the design director in VSA Group, but Mason Group was clearly a far better option in terms of career development.
Quinn turned to look at Cedrick, doe-eyed. "I'll work hard, Cousin- in-law. So long as I get to go into Mason Group, I can do anything! Please, take me in. I really have nothing going on for me..."
Cedrick scowled. To him, Quinn was merely a stranger.
Nonetheless, he had just married Catelyn recently and did not want to decline her family’s request, so he agreed, "start working next Monday."
Quinn beamed and bowed gratefully at Cedrick.
As Cedrick sat on the couch in the living room and the glittering beams of light above his head illuminated his face, Quinn realized that he was more handsome than any man she had ever met.
Inside a luxurious Lemousine, the twins fell asleep beside Catelyn. Cedrick had a few drinks that night, so the driver had come to pick them up.
"Is getting Quinn into Mason Group too troublesome for you?" Catelyn asked.
She knew how strict the hiring requirements were in Mason Group, especially regarding academic background. Quinn had only graduated with a college degree, so even if she managed to get hired, she would face a lot of prejudice.
