Chapter 1432
A Life Debt Repaid
Quinn certainly never knew what it was about Ryan that irked her.
His success certainly could not be denied-he was the best of the best, and even the nation wanted his service.
It was not as if he was unmatched, but he appeared haughty nonetheless.
He belittled businessmen, considering them greedy and money-grubbing-that was why he was told his parents that he would not inherit the family business.
And when he socialized, he would only be flexing his knowledge, demonstrating his excellence almost by reflex.
When one put all those into consideration, the man was certainly vainâso much so that Quinn got sick of it now.
At the same time, Zoe elaborated on the various traumas Ryan left her with. âI mean, he refused to join us when we were playing as children, but he would stay nearby, making sure we could see him practicing programming on his phone. When we watch variety shows, heâd say they were fake and only people with low IQ would like them. Even when weâre having snacks, he would tell us he never once ate any because snacks affect our intelligenceâ¦â
Naturally, Zoe was also less vulnerable to pick-up artist moves unlike Quinn, and she actually wondered for the longest time if there was something wrong with Ryan.
Honestly, did all the book-reading left him with a warped personality?
âWhatever, forget him.â Zoe gave up soon enough. âRyan is past tense now-just stick with Sam from now on.â
âYeah,â Quinn nodded, having lost all interest in the man too.
The women moved to the huge dining table as the housemaid informed them that dinner was ready.
Yelena and Richard were there, and Richard proved to be tsundere like his father, constantly doting on Yelena despite his aloof appearance. Naturally, that only applied to people he acknowledged.
Zoe was left sighing emotionally even as she watched Richard. âItâd hurt whoever marries my dear Yelena.â
âReally? Even Cordy hasnât even said a word,â Sam teased her.
âSheâs not going to hurt when sheâs getting a daughter, while Iâve always treated Dicky as my son-in-
law!â Zoe groaned. âIt hurts that heâs a Levine!â
Sam laughed. âOh, thatâs no big deal. I can get you a son-in- law-whatâs your type? Iâll do my best!â
âOh, already made plans with Quinn, huh?â Zoe teased. âYou never mentioned that, Quinn!â
âNo, heâs lying. Donât listen to him.â Quinn tried to maintain her innocence, blushing.
âWhat do you mean lying? Youâre the one who took charge last night,â Sam said brazenly right then.
As everyone around the table turned toward Quinn right then, she felt like she could die!
