Chapter 270
Isaac left without pausing for a moment, even as Kathy started to bawl behind him.
Stan was puzzled.
Isaac wasn’t heartless, especially to those who helped him.
“Mr. Jefferson?” Stan called out in uncertainty.
Isaac finally paused just as his fingers reached his car door handle. “Tell Quincy I won’t interfere if she rescued his son.”
He was unmoved before, because he believed that the whole thing was an act–that Quincy and Kathy were working together.
And they certainly were–Quincy had even promised Kathy that she would be untouched.
Naturally, it was just deception on Quincy’s part; she knew that if they wanted Isaac to believe them, a mere act would never be convincing.
The instant Kathy agreed to play along, she was going to be deflowered.
Stan quickly returned inside the house, but he was already too late–Kathy was wailing tragically even as he passed Isaac’s message.
Quincy was laughing, as if she knew this would happen. Why walk away in the first place?”
As she entered the room, a crazed Kathy screamed at her, “You ruined me!”
All Quincy cared about was saving her son, but she took the time to walk up close to Kathy and whisper, “Did you think Isaac would’ve given in if I didn’t do this?”
Kathy stared daggers at her. “Did you think I’m an idiot? Do you think he would still like me after what you did?”
“Tut, tut. Think smart, kiddo, you can use this to guilt- trip him!” Quincy said charmingly. “You’re his savior, so act vulnerable and miserable–always remind him that you’re like this because he didn’t lift a finger to save you when he could. With that alone, you can hover around him Though it depends on you if you could steal his heart.”
Kathy actually believed Quincy. “Really?”
“Of course! Why would I lie to you?” Quincy said, continuing to bewitch Kathy. “Just do what I tell you, and he’s all yours. I mean, have you ever heard of my husband having an affair?”
