Lying in her hospital bed, Quincy looked up at her biological father with a mix of emotions.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, have I ever made you wonder if I'm really your daughter?"
"Cut the nonsense! Do you know that the Lopez family have withdrawn their funding because of your disappearance? Without that money to fill up this hole, decades of my hard work will go down the drain!" Ronin was so agitated that he paced the room. "And after all, haven't you already agreed? Didn't we have an understanding? Once you've established yourself within the Lopez family, you can do whatever you want. I just beg you to do one thing for the benefit of our family!"
Ronin was completely blindsided when he received a call from Jonathan. After all, the fate of their family was tightly gripped in Jonathan's hands.
"One thing? You've ruined my life!" Quincy couldn't understand how her parents could so casually decide her fate in a family alliance via marriage.
This was about marriage, a commitment for life!
"What have I ruined? Is marrying into the Lopez family beneath you?" he asked.
"I have no feelings for Everett!"
Ronin almost laughed in frustration, "Why do you need feelings? Money and power are what truly matter in the world. What's the use of feelings? When you're down and out, love is nothing but a joke!"
"That's only what you believe," Quincy pulled her lips. "You want to give the whole family away to your son, I don't mind. I never wanted anything from our family's fortune, but you're determined to sabotage my chance at happiness!"
It didn't matter. He had never truly cared for his daughter.
"What's your condition?" Ronin asked impulsively.
"After the Lopez family funds ours this time, I will have nothing to do with our family anymore. I’ve repaid every penny you've ever spent on me!"
"Your life was given by your mother and me. How can you repay that?" Ronin, almost reflexively, tried to negotiate.
After all, if his daughter truly married into the Lopez family, that... that would be immensely beneficial in the future.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
