Chapter 59

Author: Deerstream
Talia's words left Christian momentarily stunned, causing his grip on her throat to loosen somewhat. As soon as she could breathe again, Talia gasped for air, and the color slowly returned to her face.

Christian released her and straightened up slightly. He stepped back from her. As he stood in the bright light, he no longer held the charm that once captivated Talia.

Talia coughed twice and looked at Christian with anger. "Christian, you've just personally destroyed someone who valued you more than her own life."

Talia did hate him. She hated his indifference, his coldness, his affairs, and his selfish arrogance.

But now, she felt even more regret. She regretted falling in love with Christian and how she had willingly sacrificed everything for him.

Christian turned his back to her, showing only his silhouette. "Do you think I care about your feelings for me?"

Talia smiled bitterly. "I know you don't."

He had never cared from the beginning. All he ever cared about was Nancy.

    Shawn sounded absolutely delighted, exclaiming, "I've finally reached you! I just wanted to ask if you're considering pursuing a PhD in medical research."Talia hesitated briefly. She had initially intended to refuse, but after a moment's thought, she decided that she couldn't betray her own aspirations. So, she replied, "Yes, I am."Shawn then asked, "How about pursuing your PhD under my supervision, then?""I'd really like to become your student, Professor Jenner, but I'm worried that…" Talia trailed off, thinking that she was no longer young and had no advantage over recent graduates.Shawn chuckled and said, "That's all that matters. You know, where there's a will, then there's a way, Talia. You have less than three months until the standardized exams. Do you think you're up for the challenge, Talia?"Talia, recalling how she graduated at the top of her class back in university, replied, "I do, and I'll try my absolute best, Professor Jenner."Shawn exclaimed, "That's great!

    Quentin didn't release his hold on Talia's waist, even after leaving the bar.Talia's thoughts were so preoccupied that she didn't even notice that Quentin's arm was still around her. She only returned to her senses when he opened the car door for her. She took a step back and said, "Thanks for tonight, Mr. Henderson."Quentin could tell that something was on Talia's mind. He didn't pry, but instead, he leaned in close, looking her directly in the eyes. He then chuckled softly, asking, "Doesn't it come across as a bit too formal with all these thank yous?"Talia took another step back, bumping into the car. She then looked warily at Quentin and asked, "What—"Yet, before Talia could ask what he wanted from her, Quentin straightened up and asked, "How about you spend the night with me?"He looked completely serious, as if he wasn't kidding.Taking in his expression, Talia immediately went into turmoil. "I'll agree to anything else aside from this."Quentin looked at her and said,

    Talia felt a surge of satisfaction knowing that Quentin had successfully upset Julian and William. She, without so much as a glance at Julian and William, turned to Quentin and said, "Let's go, Mr. Henderson."Upon hearing that, Quentin stepped forward and pulled Talia close, wrapping his arm around her waist. He then leaned in and inhaled the fragrance of her hair, a scent so sweet that it rendered him spellbound. He savored it for a few moments before looking up. A subtle, roguish grin played on his lips before he said, "Alright, sweetie."Quentin's approach was imposing. Talia tried to push his hand away, but to her surprise, he only pulled her in tighter, saying, "Many people are watching us, sweetie. Can you not embarrass me in front of everyone?"Talia finally stopped resisting and gave in. She thought that her body was nothing more than an empty shell, and it was just a meaningless touch, so she stopped fighting it.Quentin hugging Talia was a clear act of provocation to Jul

    Talia and Christian remained quiet, letting a palpable stillness fill the private room.Talia, realizing that this was the only chance she might get to speak with Christian alone, broke the silence, asking, "Can we talk, Christian?"She wasn't trying to humble herself. She was merely trying to find out if Christian was open to a conversation. She saw no point in wasting more of her time if he wasn't.Christian regarded Talia briefly with a composed demeanor. He then pondered for a moment before asking, "What do you want to talk about?"Talia immediately got straight to the point, asking, "You're the one behind Garrett's and Paige's recent work problems, aren't you?"Christian didn't bat an eye as he replied without hesitation, "It was my doing."She had long been certain of his involvement, but the confirmation of the truth still felt like a punch to the gut. She looked at him and stubbornly asked, "Why?"However, he had no intention of justifying himself. He looked away from he

    Quentin said, "You're absolutely right. You ought to know that a faithful man like me is a rarity around here in Jarrowind."That staff member chuckled dryly before walking away.Quentin, fearing that Talia would misunderstand him, hurriedly explained, "You should stop listening to what other people say about me, sweetie. You'll see that I'm, in fact, an exceedingly faithful man once you get to know me better." Talia raised her gaze to meet Quentin's, yet she offered no verbal reply and displayed no discernible change in her disposition.Upon seeing her lack of reaction, Quentin said with a sigh, "Oh, whatever. You'll eventually realize how good I am, Talia."Having said that, Quentin escorted Talia further into the bar with his arm around her shoulder. He stopped before Room 999 and, without a moment's hesitation, kicked the door wide open.Those occupants inside the private room immediately redirected their attention to the entrance as the door was forcibly kicked ajar.Talia

    Having departed Jubilee Manor, Talia had just absentmindedly taken her seat in her car when the front passenger door was opened from the outside and someone climbed in, frightening her. She only managed to calm down after identifying the sudden visitor.Quentin, having settled in the passenger seat, intentionally moved closer, closing the gap between them. He looked up at her and studied her expression before flashing a charming grin, asking, "Am I so frightening that you wouldn't even spare me a glance, or are you just too shy to look at me, Talia?" Talia was in no mood for Quentin's teasing. "I have other matters to attend to, so please get out of my car, Mr. Henderson."Quentin shrugged it off, leaning back with his hands behind his head. He then looked at Talia with a sidelong glance and asked, "What's the matter? You plan on acting like you don't know me once you've returned to Jarrowind, huh?"Talia, growing uneasy, said firmly, "I really have other matters to attend to, Que
