Franklin was even more delighted when Christian agreed to his request. Talia held back her questions and waited until Franklin went to rest.

After the two went upstairs, Talia stood by the door, not even willing to step inside, and straightforwardly asked, "Christian, what are you trying to pull now?"

    Garrett continued, "It doesn't matter at all."With that, he moved to close the door. But in the last second before it shut, Christian forcefully blocked it with his hand.Garrett looked up at Christian, his expression dark. "What else do you want?"Christian's tone was resolute. "Let me in. I need to see her."Garrett's attitude remained just as firm. "No."Christian quickly added, "If you let me in, I'll route all my company's transactions through your financial firm from now on."Garrett let out a cold laugh at Christian's attempt at temptation. "You think I'd care about that?"Something menacing flashed in Christian's eyes. He lowered his voice threateningly, "Then don't blame me when I make sure no one else routes their transactions through your accounts either."Garrett's smile grew more sarcastic. He looked at Christian and asked, "Are you threatening me?"Christian answered without hesitation. "Yes."But Garrett remained unfazed. "Go ahead if you can. Get every compan

    Looking at Talia's worried eyes, Quentin's chest tightened painfully. He coaxed her gently, saying, "There won't be any danger. Don't worry."But Talia knew exactly what Quentin was planning to do. How could she possibly not worry?She asked him anxiously, "So who's trying to hurt me?"Quentin's expression grew tense. After a moment of silence, he let out a soft laugh. "No one. Don't overthink it."As he spoke, he sat back down in the chair and reached up to ruffle Talia's hair.She wasn't reassured at all. "Quentin, you're lying to me."Quentin's expression didn't change, his tone certain. "I wouldn't lie to you."When Talia saw that Quentin was determined to leave without telling her the truth, she stopped pressing him.She looked at him with worry, her tone serious. "Your injuries haven't even healed yet. Don't get yourself hurt again."Quentin's chest swelled with warmth. He nodded and agreed, "Alright. I promise."Once he agreed, Talia didn't say anything else.Quentin

    Paige's smile deepened, and she stepped aside. "Go on in. She's waiting for you."Quentin pocketed his phone and agreed without hesitation. "Alright."He pushed open the sliding door and entered the bedroom.When Quentin came in, Garrett cleared his throat. "Dad, Mom, Maeve and Evan are downstairs. Let's go check on them."Since Talia wanted to speak with Quentin alone, everyone cooperatively left the bedroom.Quentin sat on the edge of the bed. He looked down at Talia and took her cold hand in his.Before Quentin could say anything, Talia spoke first. "I'm sorry. I broke my promise tonight."Quentin's thumb traced gentle circles on the back of Talia's hand. He shook his head gently. "It doesn't matter. That's not important."Talia didn't have the strength to pull her hand back, so she let Quentin hold it. After a brief silence, she thanked him. "Thank you for tonight."Quentin's thumb stopped tracing her hand abruptly. He looked at Talia, his voice full of guilt as he said, "

    After learning that Talia had disappeared, the Stewarts waited anxiously at the entrance.When they saw a car approaching, hope surged through them. Once the car stopped at the Stewart residence, everyone rushed down the steps and crowded around it.Quentin got out, walked around to the passenger side, and lifted Talia into his arms.Paige and Garrett stepped forward, their voices full of concern. "Mr. Henderson, is Talia all right?"Quentin's expression was grim. He carried Talia toward the house with quick steps. "Don't worry. She's okay."Talia was so weak that she could barely lift her head from Quentin's shoulder.Quentin carried her through the entrance and up to the second floor. He easily made his way to Talia's bedroom and lay her on the bed before pulling the covers over her.The Stewarts followed close behind. When they saw how weak Talia looked, no one spoke.Quentin knew they were worried. He stood and quietly said, "She's alright, but she hasn't eaten the whole da

    Christian had no intention of fighting for her anymore. He just disdainfully asked, "How long can she stay in your arms anyway?"Quentin answered without hesitation. "A lifetime."Christian laughed coldly at his response.Quentin didn't want to argue with Christian. He looked down at Talia in his arms, then asked, "Will you move now?"Christian didn't respond, but he stood blocking Quentin's path, refusing to budge.The standoff continued.Quentin grew somewhat angry. He narrowed his eyes, and the coldness in them was slowly consuming his rationality.Just as he was about to lose his temper, Talia suddenly stirred in his arms. Quentin looked down and quickly called out softly, "Talia, are you awake?"Talia opened her eyes. When she saw Quentin, she froze for a moment. But once her memories returned, she felt a sharp pain in her leg.She forced herself to endure the pain and answered Quentin's concern. "Mm."Quentin finally smiled. He lowered his head, wanting to nuzzle Talia'

    Christian was deeply displeased by Quentin's brazen ambition. He said angrily, "Quentin, as long as I'm alive, you'll never be with her."Quentin laughed at Christian's words. "Never?"After laughing, Quentin's expression darkened, and his tone turned cold. "Christian, what does it matter if you won't agree to the divorce? Her heart's with me. What can you change?"Christian refused to believe Quentin. He protested loudly, "That's impossible."A faint smile played on Quentin's lips. He said quietly, "The moment you abandoned her to go to Nancy, you'd already lost."Quentin's words left Christian feeling utterly humiliated.The next moment, he stepped back, pulled a gun from his waist, and held the black pistol loosely in his palm. After cocking it, he aimed the barrel at Quentin's forehead.When Christian drew the gun, both groups of men facing off behind them froze in shock.But Quentin alone remained unfazed. He stared directly at Christian, even stepping forward to press his

    Talia's tone was indifferent, and she replied with just a single word.For a moment, Christian was taken aback. He couldn't even tell which of his questions she was answering.As he continued to look at Talia, her cold, distant demeanor made her seem like a stranger.Even with something as signif

"Sleep with me."Unlike last time, this time he truly meant it. Talia sensed his seriousness, but still refused to relent.

    As Maeve talked about Talia to her teacher and friends, she stood up straighter. She held her head higher, and her eyes were full of pride.Watching Maeve like this, Talia couldn't help but smile. But at the same time, she glanced at Yvonne. Her daughter stood beside Maeve, looking overshadowed and
