"If I were to reveal the truth about what happened back then, would they treat me the same way as they treat you, out of gratitude? But whether they''d still treat you as they do now, like a savior, is up for anyone''s guess!" said Quinn with a smirk as she circled Thalia.


    She looked incredibly pleased, relishing this rare moment of triumph after years of being suppressed by Thalia. Finally, Quinn had her chance to assert dominance.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Meanwhile, Beatrice grew increasingly confused. ''What are they talking about? Could it be that udia didn''t die from saving Lucas?''


    "What do you want?" Thalia lowered her head and clenched her fists. She did not know how much Quinn had heard from her sleep talk, nor did she know what evidence Quinn imed to have. Though she distinctly remembered burning all the old photos before leaving home, there might have been oversights.


    ''If Quinn had gotten hold of those photos, then...all the efforts I''d made over the years to build my life could be destroyed in an instant! No! I''m never going to let that happen! I''m going to be with Lucas no matter what!'' thought Thalia.


    However, not only was Melody standing in her way like a mountain, but even her longtime friend was on the opposite side. Indeed, the human heart was unpredictable.


    Quinn leaned in close to Thalia, whispering in her ear. "What do I want? Hmm, I haven''t thought about that. But maybe you should change your attitude toward me, Thalia. For all these years, I''ve been by your side like a loyal dog, at your beck and call. You treat me well when you''re in a good mood, but when you''re not, you treat me like an enemy... But I''m a living, breathing person. I''m not your ve, do you understand?


    "But someone like you probably wouldn''t understand my feelings. After all, you''re the root cause of all this. I should be grateful that I pushed open that door when I heard the noises from your room that night. Otherwise, I''d still be in the dark. I used to think that our friendship was real, but it turns out you''ve been pretending to be someone you''re not all this while!"


    Quinn chuckled as if she found it genuinely amusing. "You''re quite theedian, Thalia. Don''t you think this whole situation is hrious? Someone killed their own sister just to win another man''s heart! Wouldn''t you find this kind of woman particrly terrifying, venomous, and ruthless if you were standing in my shoes?"


    Thalia could not take it anymore and forcefully pushed her away. "You understand nothing! You know nothing! Stop making wild guesses!"


    Beatrice clenched her fists. She had never expected Thalia to hide such a secret. ''So, it wasn''t because of Lucas that udia died all those years ago!''


    "You''re right. I truly don''t understand. Why did you kill your sister? Even if you liked Lucas, couldn''t you havepeted with her fairly? After all, she was your sister. How could you be so ruthless?" asked Quinn with a frown.
