"I disagree, there's no need to test me."
...
Staring at the disconnected call, Quincy was somewhat baffled.
Yet, at the same time, she felt her suspicions were increasingly justified! The more Everett sulked and scowled, the more Quincy was convinced that something real was going wrong between him and Dorothy, not just a show put on for her benefit.
For now, all she had to do was sit back and watch.
If Dorothy became a lost cause, she'd need to make plans accordingly.
...
After Jonathan hung up the call with Ronin, he turned to look at his son, feeling more puzzled by the day.
"You... don't plan to marry Dorothy, you want to marry Quincy now?"
That call was made at Everett's behest, intended for his father to relay messages he couldn't say directly, playing the part perfectly.
"No, Dorothy is the only one I'll marry."
"Then why did you—" Jonathan frowned, "I said I don't care about your dealings with Dorothy. If you want to marry her, go ahead. But then you make me call, insisting on bringing Quincy into our family!"
"I have my reasons."
Everett, feeling his point had been made, got up to leave.
Jonathan quickly stopped him. "Everett, what exactly is going on? At least give me a clue! Your mother's passed, and it's been hard on me. With all this guessing, I feel like I'm about to join her."
"It's nothing. I just need to get something from Quincy."
"She's using Dorothy to threaten you, and you want to break free from that?"
Jonathan, after all, understood his son and the Caldwell family's way of handling things.
"Yeah."
Everett nodded in acknowledgment.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
