There must have been a reason for him to talk about such a sensitive topic the moment they met.
And it was not necessarily a good one.
"Of course I know that," Quinn said. "There are no secrets between my husband and me. I know about his past with Candace too."
"Really?" Lawrence obviously did not believe it. He raised his eyebrows and said playfully, "I didn't expect the two of you to talk about everything. Since you already know Mr. Yarbrough's secret, you must know where Candace is now, right?"
Quinn was stunned. She shook her head and smiled. "I don't know this one, but my husband said that he would tell me in detail soon. There are few secrets between the two of us."
"Oh!" Lawrence smiled even more meaningfully. "You just said that there are no secrets, but now you say that there are few secrets. Mrs. Yarbrough, are there secrets between the two of you or not?"
Quinn furrowed her eyebrows slightly and kept her smile, but it did not reach her eyes anymore. "Mr.
Jones, why are you here?" "I'm here to ask for your help," he said.
She looked at him and said plainly, "We've never met before. I don't know how I can help you."
"I want to see Candace. Your husband knows where she is, but he's hiding her and won't let me see her. I don't have any way to meet her, so my only option is to come and see you, Mrs. Yarbrough. I hope you will help me meet Candace."
"Then you should go and look for my husband instead of me," Quinn looked at Lawrence and said calmly. "My husband is a reasonable man. Mr. Jones, if you are a well-educated man who wants to see Madam Lowe, and my husband has the ability to help you, he definitely will. I'm confused as to why you came to see me. Does my husband not want to help you? Did he refuse you?"
Lawrence froze for a moment and was speechless.
However, he quickly calmed down. Looking at Quinn, he chuckled and said, "Mrs. Yarbrough, you're right. He refused me. He hid her away. When it comes to Candace, he can't forget the past. Did you know that?"
Quinn's face froze, and a cold light flashed through her eyes.
"Mr. Jones, thankfully, I am a benevolent woman. If an ordinarily petty woman was to be provoked by you, she would definitely start a fight with her husband."
"Then will you start a fight with Mr. Yarbrough?" He cautiously asked.
"Of course not." Quinn smiled lightly and curled her lips in sarcasm. "If that were the case, wouldn't I be falling into your trap? I think you're not here to get my help, but really to tear apart the relationship between my husband and me."
He smiled and said coldly, "But I didn't affect you, did I, Mrs. Yarbrough?"
"I know Timothy," Quinn said. "When two people are together, trust is the most important thing. You don't have to try and tear apart our relationship. If Timothy really can't forget his past with Candace, it shows that he's someone with strong emotions, and I just happened to see this about him. I like that he is someone with strong emotions. Even if he helped Candace and hid her away, I think he must have his own reasons, and he will tell me why."
"You're that confident?" Lawrence could not help but be suspicious. "Mrs. Yarbrough, aren't you overconfident?" "I am confident," Quinn said. "There's nothing else I'm confident about in life, aside from Timothy, my job, and my two children."
"Mrs. Yarbrough, you really have a deep affection for Mr. Yarbrough. As a stranger, I have to compliment you. I admire you. I really admire you."
"There must be trust between a husband and wife. Don't you trust your wife, Mr. Jones?" When Quinn said that, she slightly raised her eyebrows and suddenly realized something. "I haven't asked. What relationship do you have with Candace?"
