The car continued to shoot forward at breakneck speed, and Quinn had resigned herself for a split second of dying with Sam right then.He had driven all the way to the coast, toward the very edge of an isolated street.There was no more road ahead, and if Sam really refused to stop, they would shoot straight into the sea to a watery grave. Quinn was clenching her teeth, her whole body shaking…But at the very last moment, Sam abruptly jammed his foot on the brakes, bringing the car to a screeching halt. There was just six feet between them and a tumble into the sea.All Quinn could feel just then was her seatbelt digging painfully into her body, while her heart was pumping uncontrollably. She really could not understand—why was Sam being this capricious? Was it fun for him, toying with his own life and hers?!Still, she said nothing as the car came to a stop, and she unbuckled her seat belt to leave.To her, staying alive was far more important.Sam could die all she wante

"Are those tears I see?"Sam was watching as Quinn's tears trickled from the corner of her eyes.Quinn blinked.She believed herself jaded—that she would never shed tears in front of Sam.But she never felt her own tears welling up in her eyes."I thought you wanted to have a child with me? What are you crying for?" Sam asked."It's just tears of joy," Quinn retorted flatly."Hah!" Sam chuckled. "You're disgusting, Quinn."She certainly felt the same way about him, but there was no helping it when fate had set their paths together.They were just two awful individuals, bound to disgust each other now. He asked her then, "Who am I?""Sam Saunders," she said, clearly restraining herself."Good," Sam growled, and bit her viciously on the earlobe. "So remember—you're mine and mine alone!" Quinn smiled coolly despite herself.Yes, he was the first man she had, but she was just one of countless women he had.She had no idea what it was about herself that seemed to wound Sam

Meanwhile, Quinn entered Ryan's car.She did not actually ask him to come—he just happened to call her to consult her on a legal issue.She asked if it was urgent, to which he said yes.She in turn told him where he was and asked for a ride.Her face was pale, and she was shivering even as she got in his car."Still feeling cold?" Ryan asked—the weather was turning warm, but one would still find it chilly on occasion.And when he helped her into his car, she felt icy to the touch."I'm fine," Quinn forced a smile as she looked up at Ryan. "Sorry for taking so much of your time.""Don't say things like that. I was going to your office to consult you today anyway and called you before that since you might not be in," Ryan said mildly, trying his best not to put Quinn on the spot. "By the way, were you having a fight with Sam? Was he the one who left you in the middle of nowhere?""I guess," Quinn replied indifferently. "How could he behave like this?" Ryan grumbled, scowling j

On the other hand, John was getting even grumpier as Cordy was not responding. "You're actually still hesitating? Do you even have a conscience? How much further do I have to go for you to actually accept me and stand by my side in the open?"John became more agitated the more he ranted, "What, do I have to gouge my heart out to show my sincerity—umph…"His eyes suddenly widened as Cordy stood on her toes, pressing her lips against his.The anger in his eyes turned to tenderness right then.Men are really easy, aren't they? John wrapped his arms around her, intending on going further… but she pulled away. "Skipping out on responsibility after flirting with me, huh?" he growled through his teeth."No," Cordy shook her head. "But you were so noisy."John's face fell, stunned that she would scorn him for that!But she was the only one he would talk so much around, spilling his guts and all that, not shying away from baring his heart!And she scorned him!But just as he was ab

"So, you're convinced that Jessica wasn't aware that her family was prepared to make me their scapegoat?" John asked the journalist in return. "Even when I was still abroad, she was the one in charge of every foreign account Stuart Holdings owned.""Are you saying that Jessica loved you but was not shying away from using you as a scapegoat too?" The journalist was certainly quick on his feet."Who knows?" John shrugged, refusing to give a direct answer. "You should be asking Jessica that question.""In any case, the truth is out—the Stuarts would soon have their punishment, while your relationship with Ms. Sachs can finally bloom!" the journalist exclaimed. "Congratulations!" "Thank you." Both Cordy and John appeared cordial just then."Can you offer some insights into your relationship? Ms. Sachs, were you happy back when Mr. Levine got engaged to Jessica? Were you supportive of him doing this to defend himself?""Absolutely not," Cordy said loudly and clearly, not hiding her d
