Ste left. Yet, the tension she left behind was expressly thick, practically setting Yorick''s sanity aze.


    "Did you see her? It was her, wasn''t it?"


    Yorick shot an angry re at Orion.


    Orion nodded, "Yes, I saw Ms. Quinn around here yesterday too."


    "Yesterday as well?"


    That wretch, selling her out once wasn''t enough? How many more times does she n to do it? No wonder his ck card didn''t impress her anymore, she couldn''t care less if the Larkins unblocked her card. Was she being kept by a bunch of men now?


    Orion could feel the rage emanating from Yorick and could only nod without daring to say more. But this simple nod seemed to fuel Yorick''s anger even more.


    "Find out who that man at Silk-River Residences is, and also the..."


    What were these men thinking, falling for someone like Ste?


    The more Yorick thought about it, the angrier he got.


    Orion wanted to say that finding out who the man at Wave Residence was would probably be impossible! But then he remembered Finley, who showed up at the banquet with Stest night.


    "Could this ce belong to Dr. Yoder?"


    "A doctor?"


    Yorick gritted his teeth in fury.


    Maybe not!


    Although Finley was a skillful doctor in Ferrond with his own hospital, buying a ce like Mist Bay seemed unlikely.


    ...


    On the other side.


    n the car, Ronald''s lips curled up as he watched the surveince footage from the entrance.


    Idris asked, "Ms. Quinn didn''t get the short end of the stick, did she?"


    "That little tiger, how could she possibly lose out?"


    Yorick, a big guy, was kicked to the ground by her and couldn''t get up for quite some time. Seeing this, Ronald finally confirmed that Ste had no real feelings for Yorick, If she did, she wouldn''t have been able to strike him so hard.


    Idris nodded, "Ms. Quinn has really grown up over the years, she''s learned to protect herself."


    The words ''learn to protect herself'' made Ronald''s smile fade.


    She''d learned to protect herself? If possible, he wished she could always stay carefree and untroubled.


    The buzzing of the phone broke his train of thought.


    Ronald answered, "Hello?"


    "Mr. Quinn, it''s me."


    Jeremy''s voice came through the phone.


    "Don''t hang up yet, please." Sensing Ronald''s intention, Jeremy hurriedly continued.


    Ronald coldly replied with a single word, "Speak."


    "Well, I wanted to ask, what''s your rtionship with Ste Quinn?"


    Last night Ronald seemed agreeable towards their business, but then suddenly changed his mind. Frustrated, Jeremy had gone back and dug up everything that


    happened at the banquet.


    Apart from Sirena getting into a fight with Ste, it seemed like nothing much happened. But Sirena and Ste fighting? That was hardly news. Ronald replied, "What do you think?"


    He questioned instead of answer him, with his tone sharp.


    Jeremy, having seen all sorts of situations, didn''t inquire further but tentatively suggested, "How about have my sister apologize to her? looked into it, and it''s all my sister''s fault I''ll make sure Ms. Quinn is satisfied."


    Ronald promptly hung up.


    Idris, who overheard the call, guessed Jeremy''s intentions.


    "Ms. Patel must''ve had a rough night yesterday."


    Ronald chuckled callously, "That''s all the consequence she gets?"


    Idris was unable to reply, assuming that punishment was trivial, considering she had publicly insulted Ms. Quinn.


    Even though Ms. Quinn had struck back, it wasn''t easy for Mr. Quinn to let this go.


    "So, what do you think Mr. Patel should do to satisfy Ms. Quinn?"
