《When She Turns Her Back》全部章節：第 951 章 - 第 960 章

Jerry knew exactly who Quentin was and the kind of power he held.But he had never been the type to back down from anyone.Even with Quentin standing right there in the doorway, he looked Talia dead in the eye and said, "If you really want to make it up to him, then marry him."Before Talia could respond, he kept going. "He's been in love with you since college. Can you really stand by and watch him destroy himself like this? You know who he is. You know what kind of person he is. "Losing you is killing him. You—"That was when Quentin finally snapped. He turned and walked into the room, his expression dark and stern. "Dr. Castro, are you done examining my wife's leg?"He had deliberately raised his voice. It was a warning and a threat rolled into one.Jerry didn't even look at him. After a long pause, he spoke to Talia one last time. "If you care at all, go see him."He then reached for his case.Talia knew he was leaving. "Jerry, thank you for tonight."She didn't address

After saying that, Garrett headed up the stairs.Paige lingered in the living room. Once Garrett was out of earshot, she turned to Quentin and said, "Mr. Henderson, I'm sure you have the resources to find out what happened."My father-in-law has spent his whole life worrying about this family. He's afraid that everything Garrett has built over the years will be destroyed, and that's why he said what he said to you. But the way I see it, even without you in the picture, Christian was never going to let things go quietly."It started to click for Quentin. He figured that Christian must have turned on the Stewarts. He was retaliating against the family.He smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Paige. Talia is practically mine already. Her family's problems are also mine. I'll take care of it."Paige shook her head gently. "I'm not telling you this because I want you to pick a fight with Christian on our behalf. Honestly, our family would give up everything we have in a heartbeat if it meant

Just then, Talia called out to stop Henry. "Henry, sit down for a minute. There's something I want to talk to you about."Henry turned around. The easy smile in his eyes disappeared completely the moment he looked at her.Talia tilted her face up to look at him, and she was struck by how much weight he'd lost. His cheeks had hollowed, and his complexion looked unhealthy.Henry could sense her reason for being there. He didn't want any part of it, but he sat down anyway."Henry," she said, taking in how worn he looked. "How have you been?"He met her gaze and forced a smile. "Good. I've been good."Then, before she could say anything else, he turned it around quickly. "What about you? Are you doing okay? How's your leg?"Talia glanced down at her leg. "Much better, actually. I don't need the crutches anymore."Henry dropped his head at that. It hurt to ask, but he asked anyway. "And you and Quentin? How are things?""Henry," she said, almost reflexively, "Quentin and I aren't t

Quentin looked over at Kathryn, his tone flat. "Is there something you need?"Kathryn tilted her cap up slightly, her voice dropping into something close to pleading. "I just want to talk to you alone for a minute."Quentin glanced at Talia briefly, then looked back. "Talia is my wife. She's not a stranger. Whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of her."Her eyes filled with tears immediately. "You really want to humiliate me like this?"That seemed to amuse him more than anything else. "If this counts as humiliation, then I don't think you have much to say after all."He took Talia's hand and walked her toward the private executive elevator.Behind them, Kathryn stood exactly where they'd left her. She watched Quentin hold Talia's hand without a second thought, calling her his wife in front of everyone without hesitation.She had spent years at this company. People had always said she and Quentin were well-suited for each other, that she was indispensable to him. And

Christian answered the call.Margaret's voice came through immediately. "How's the divorce going?"Irritation flickered through him. "If I divorce her, what's it to you?"Margaret's tone sharpened. "What's that supposed to mean? I'm doing this for your own good."Christian had no interest in hearing it. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."Before he could end the call, Margaret rushed to ask, "Do you actually want the divorce or not? Are you still set on being with that York woman?"His head was a mess, and his voice came out clipped as he said, "No comment."He hung up, stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and lit a cigarette. Meanwhile, Margaret stared at the dead line, her expression turning cold.After a long silence, she made another call. The moment it connected, she gave her order. "Find someone to take care of Nancy York. Do it quietly."…The afternoon slipped away while Talia stayed at Henderson Corp. She sat in Quentin's lounge, turning everything over in
