I lowered my eyes. "Marcus' passing dealt Matthew a considerable blow and when Nancy passed not long after, Matthew was on the brink of an emotional breakdown. He already hated Quinn, so he blamed Marcus and Nancy’s deaths on her. I was too busy at the time so I couldn’t find time to keep him company. I didn't notice how radical his thoughts had become.’’
Jeshua fell silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know why Nancy committed suicide?"
I nodded.
At this moment, the dishes were served. When the waiter served all the dishes and went out, I gradually recounted the misunderstanding back then. I talked about Quinn and Marcus' deal too, of course.
After hearing what I said, Jeshua mumbled, "How could this be?"
This meal was destined not to be a joyful one. After the meal, Carlson and Yvonne sent Jeshua home, whereas I got in Tyler's car.
"Where’s your car?" Tyler asked with a smile.
I yawned. "I don't want to drive. I'll ask the secretary to come over and retrieve it tomorrow."
Tyler raised his eyebrows and revved up the engine.
The car came to a stop at a traffic light and he asked," Did you and Quinn strike a deal?”
I rolled my eyes.
Could he not be so smart?
"Can’t I just be helping her out?" I asked with a faint smile on my face.
Tyler sneered. "You're not that nice. You might have been kind in the past but not now."
