Chapter 921

Quentin said nothing. He just followed Benson into the main hall of the Whitaker residence.But Caiden wasn't there. Only the household staff bustled about in the first-floor living room.Benson pointed up the stairs and said quietly to Quentin, "Mr. Henderson, the young miss is in her room upstairs. You can head up yourself."Without responding, Quentin headed upstairs expressionlessly. Once upstairs, he looked around and located Kathryn's bedroom.Standing at the door, he raised his hand and knocked.From inside came Kathryn's slightly irritated voice. "Who is it? I thought I said not to disturb me."Quentin said flatly, "It's me. Quentin."Footsteps quickly sounded from inside the room.Kathryn pulled open the door. When she saw Quentin standing there, all her dissatisfaction and unhappiness vanished instantly."Quentin." Kathryn's eyes reddened, and tears welled up.Quentin opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Kathryn rushed toward him. Just before

At the same time, Quentin's free hand pulled out his phone. After unlocking the screen, he shoved it directly in front of Kathryn's eyes and demanded harshly, "Take a good look. Do you recognize these men?"On the screen were the men who had tried to assault Talia that night.But in the photos, these men had been tortured beyond recognition. They were covered in blood, barely resembling their original selves.Kathryn stared at the screen, then said through gritted teeth, "I don't know them."Quentin's voice dripped with venom. "Sure about that?"Kathryn insisted, "Yes. I don't know them."The pain was distorting her face, but even so, she refused to admit the truth. Quentin ignored her completely, pocketed his phone, and tightened his grip on her jaw.At the same time, he laughed coldly. "Kathryn, you've got some nerve. I almost admire you. The woman I can't bring myself to raise my voice to, you dared to have her assaulted."Kathryn turned her face away. "Quentin, I don't know

Chapter 923

Christian arrived at the Whitaker residence and knocked on the door.Benson opened it, and when he saw that it was Christian, he was surprised. "Mr. Lane?"Christian got straight to the point. "I'd like to see Mr. Whitaker."Benson hesitated before responding, "Mr. Whitaker is out at a business dinner, but he should be back soon."Christian said, "Then I'll wait for him inside."Benson opened the door wider and welcomed Christian in.Once in the living room, Christian looked around before taking a seat on the couch.Benson offered nervously, "Mr. Lane, would you like something to drink? I can prepare it for you.""No need."Benson looked momentarily flustered but didn't press the matter. After all, he couldn't force Christian.Sitting in the living room, Christian listened to the sound of objects shattering upstairs. He figured that Quentin must have confronted Kathryn; otherwise, she wouldn't be throwing things around like that.Benson heard the noise from upstairs and hurr

Chapter 924

Caiden was furious and couldn't help cursing, "Kathryn, you're an idiot."Kathryn was utterly confused. "Then tell me, Dad, what did I do wrong? Wasn't it you who taught me that if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself?"Caiden didn't want to argue. After a long sigh, he said, "If your brother were still alive, the Whitakers wouldn't have fallen to this."Kathryn felt like she was breaking down at Caiden's words. "Right, I couldn't secure an alliance through marriage, so now I'm useless to you. What am I to you? A pawn? A family member?"Caiden didn't want to argue with Kathryn anymore. He walked out of the bedroom, then turned back. "Don't leave the house for the next few days. Think about what you've done. When you've reflected enough, go apologize to Ms. Stewart."Kathryn grew even angrier. "Why should I? I won't. Not unless I'm dead."Caiden was furious, too. "Are you trying to anger me to death?"Kathryn held firm. "I don't think I did anything wrong."Ca

Chapter 925

Quentin carried flowers in one hand and various snacks in the other, walking forward without even glancing at Christian.He reached the door and was about to tuck the flowers under his arm to knock when Christian, standing beside him, suddenly demanded, "Quentin, you dare show up here?"Only then did Quentin turn to look at Christian. He asked with amusement, "Why wouldn't I?"Christian stepped forward and grabbed Quentin by the collar, warning him viciously, "Quentin, don't forget that Talia is my wife."Quentin's smile deepened. He raised the hand holding the flowers and brushed Christian's hand away from his collar.Then he looked at Christian with amusement. "Your wife? You keep calling her that, but let me ask you something. Do you know what she likes to eat? Or what her favorite color is?"What's her clothing size? Her shoe size? Her birthday? What does she hate?"The barrage of questions left Christian frozen in place. He stared at Quentin in shock, unable to say a single

Chapter 926

Quentin's voice grew fainter as he moved away. "I'll go check on Talia."Maeve jumped up with excitement. "Yes! Aunt Talia's going to be so happy when she finds out you're back."Just before they reached the main hall, Paige caught Maeve by the arm. "Alright, stop clinging to Quentin. Let him spend some time with your aunt. She hasn't been in the best mood lately."Maeve sighed in reluctant agreement. "Fine."The rest of their conversation faded into something mostly inaudible, but Christian caught enough to piece together the gist.The difference in how the Stewarts treated Quentin compared to how they treated him was like night and day. Even Maeve called him "Uncle Quentin" with genuine warmth in her voice, but she'd never once called him that affectionately.Yet, in just a month or two, Quentin had already won over every single member of the Stewart family.The thought made Christian's hands clench into fists at his sides. His chest ached with a pain so sharp that it felt phy

Chapter 927

How could Talia not be afraid after what had happened that night?When those men boxed her in on either side of the taxi, her mind had already raced through every terrible possibility. And when she woke up again and overheard them outside discussing what they planned to do with her, it felt like she was being torn apart piece by piece.She'd managed to push those thoughts away, but now that Quentin brought them up, a creeping wave of fear washed over her all over again.Her eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. She bit down hard on her lip, refusing to let herself cry out loud.Quentin saw how hard she was trying to hold it together, and he gently pulled her into his arms. His hand moved slowly over the back of her head as he murmured against her hair, "Don't be scared. I'm right here. No matter what happens, I'll always be right here with you."The comfort only made her more vulnerable, and the tears she'd been fighting finally spilled over.Quentin rested his chin on top of her

Chapter 928

After Quentin cleaned everything up, he noticed the red veins creeping through Talia's eyes. His expression softened. "Tired?"Talia nodded. "A little."Quentin tested the waters. "So... bedtime?"She nodded again, soft and agreeable. "Mm."Something about how compliant she was made him push his luck. "Want me to stay with you?"Talia's brain must have short-circuited, because she agreed without even thinking. "Mm."Quentin was on his feet before the sound left her mouth. "I'll get the curtains."At the window, he paused and glanced outside. Christian's car was still parked in front of the Stewart residence. Quentin's brows furrowed slightly, but after a moment, he pulled the curtains shut anyway.Outside, Christian watched the curtains close over Talia's window. His first thought was that Quentin would surely leave now. But ten minutes passed, and Quentin still hadn't come out the front door.The realization hit him like a punch. Was Quentin spending the night?The moment th

Chapter 929

In the bedroom, Talia lay flat on her back while Quentin settled on the floor beside her bed rather than climbing in with her.Sleep was pulling her under when the phone on the nightstand suddenly rang, jolting her awake. She reached for it instinctively, but Quentin's hand got there at the same time, and her fingers landed right on top of his.She pulled back, embarrassed, but Quentin just laughed softly and handed her the phone.Talia glanced at the screen and saw that it was Christian. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up.His voice came through low and cutting. "Were you asleep?"Talia didn't answer the question. "What do you want?"His tone dropped even colder, and he got straight to the point. "Are you sleeping with Quentin?"Talia almost laughed. "Christian, I don't owe you an explanation for that."He certainly hadn't given her one when he was with Nancy.Christian's temper finally snapped. He was shouting now. "Talia, do you even realize what you're doing?"Eve

Chapter 930

Just then, Christian's other phone rang. He assumed that it was Talia calling back, but when he looked down, he saw that it was Emma.The moment he picked up the call, Emma's panicked voice came through. "Sir, something's happened. Yvonne, she... she fell and got hurt."Christian's stomach dropped. "What?""She fell and hurt herself. She's already been taken to the hospital."Once he was sure that he'd heard right, Christian looked up at Talia's bedroom window. The lights were still off. He raised his voice and shouted toward it."Talia! Yvonne broke a bone, and she's in the hospital. It could be serious. If you want to see her, get down here now. I'm waiting."He had already hung up on Emma by the time he finished yelling. But the Stewart residence stayed just as still and quiet as before.Christian gripped his phone and waited. Minutes passed with no sign of Talia.He tried again, louder this time. "Talia! Can you even hear me?"But there was nothing but silence.His worry
