Would someone as timid as Gwen really dare pull something like this at his own banquet?And Ivy was far too sharp to fall for a scheme cooked up by someone like Gwen.After thinking it over, Mr. Quinn Sr. came to his own conclusion.He looked down at Gwen with a stern expression.“Why do you always drop to your knees the second something happens? I was only asking you a question. I never said I suspected you.“That’s enough. Stop crying and get up.”Still sniffling, Gwen slowly got to her feet.She knew she had gotten away with it, at least for now.After dealing with Mr. Quinn Sr. for so many years, she had learned a thing or two about how he thought.He was deeply arrogant.If she immediately backed down, acted frightened, and made him feel completely in control, it usually satisfied his ego enough that he wouldn’t press her any further.Gwen had barely gotten to her feet when a woman’s clear voice came from the doorway.“Mr. Quinn Sr., are you looking for Lucas and Ivy?

The man stared at the knife buried through his palm.He recognized it immediately.It was a military-issued combat knife.His pupils contracted, and he whipped around.Only then did he realize that his two partners were already lying unconscious on the floor.A few steps away stood a large man dressed in black, wearing a black baseball cap and mask.His presence was intimidating enough on its own.But the way he looked at the injured man was even worse.It was as though he were already looking at a dead body.“You…”The man barely got the word out before a sharp pain struck his neck.His body went limp, and he collapsed to the floor unconscious.Cherrie stared at the masked man in awe.“You’re seriously amazing!”She hadn’t even seen him move.His voice remained cold.“Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the garden?”Cherrie pouted.“I was going to, but everything happened so fast.”Then she suddenly remembered what mattered.“Oh! Lucas is in trouble. We need to hur

Mr. Grant also told Lucas everything that had happened at the banquet, leaving out nothing.By the time he finished, Lucas had a fairly good idea of what was going on.He told Mr. Grant not to worry.For now, the most important thing was waiting for Ivy to wake up.Nearly three hours later, close to midnight, Ivy finally stirred.The moment she moved, soreness spread through her entire body.She frowned slightly and slowly sat up, clutching the blanket around herself.Everything ached.Lucas had been sitting beside the bed the entire time.The moment he saw her open her eyes, relief flashed across his face.“Ives, you’re awake.”She had slept for so long that if Lucas hadn’t checked repeatedly and confirmed she was only sleeping, he might have started to worry something was wrong.And knowing he was the reason she felt this exhausted only made him feel worse.“I’m sorry.”His voice was full of guilt.“I went way too far.”Memories of what had happened earlier rushed bac

Was Lucas really that happy?Happy enough to cry?Did the idea of having a child with her really mean that much to him?A strange ache spread through Ivy’s chest.The truth was, she hadn’t been completely honest with him earlier.She didn’t actually love children that much.She had only said it because she wanted to comfort him.For years, Mr. Quinn Sr. had treated her as though her only purpose was to produce an heir for the family.Because of that, even the idea of having children had started to make her uncomfortable.But seeing the joy and anticipation in Lucas’s eyes made something inside her shift.Maybe she had been looking at it the wrong way.The problem had never been children.The problem was Mr. Quinn Sr. treating women like nothing more than tools for carrying on the family line.And having a child who belonged to both her and Lucas...Just imagining it made her feel unexpectedly happy.She had no doubt Lucas would be a wonderful father.And she believed sh

Knight’s eyes turned dark and vicious, as if he wanted to tear Lucas apart with his bare hands.Mr. Quinn Sr. struck his cane against the floor, cutting through the tension in the room.He looked at Lucas and Ivy with a stern expression.“You’re back. Sit down.”Neither of them said anything as they took the seats across from him.Knight remained kneeling on the floor between them.Mr. Quinn Sr.’s sharp gaze settled on Lucas first.His voice was cold and commanding.“I already know what happened today. Lucas, do you have anything to say for yourself?”Lucas had known before coming back that this confrontation was inevitable.He was prepared for it.Meeting Mr. Quinn Sr.’s gaze without the slightest hesitation, he replied calmly, “You’ve already investigated everything, haven’t you? So I’m curious. What exactly did I do wrong?”Mr. Quinn Sr. clearly hadn’t expected him to answer so boldly.His expression darkened.“I never sent the Shaw family an invitation. So how did Fio
