“Trent Wilson is simply extraordinary. He’s powerful and has many achievements in life. Who knows how many people think of him as Prince Charming?”

“Although it hasn’t officially been announced yet, everyone knows that Trent Wilson, who has just returned from the border will definitely be the Cara Williams’s fiancé.”

“Most importantly, who doesn’t know that the person Trent Wilson likes is Cara Williams?”

Quinn Young’s eyes showed a hint of infatuation as she spoke.

“But what does this have to do with the Yeagers?” Jane Smith frowned.

Quinn Young scoffed. “Everything!”

“Trent Wilson will be back soon. If he comes back early, it’ll be in three months. If late, it’ll be in half a year. Who knows how many people are preparing to go and cozy up to him?”

“Cara Williams took the initiative to provoke the Lewis. She might be trying to force the Yeagers to stir up trouble so that Cara Williams could catch them red-handed. At that time, Trent Wilson would then be able to take revenge for his sweetheart.”

“That’s why the Yeagers didn’t dare to support the Lewis and simply accepted their loss.”

“This is Cara Williams’ strategy.”

Quinn Young was finally done with her spiel.

Jane Smith was stunned.

She never imagined that there would be so many twists and turns behind such a simple slap.

Quinn Young shook her head, showing a hint of pity in her eyes. “If I didn’t stop you here tonight, I’m afraid that I would have seen the news of your death tomorrow. If you released this information without evidence, no one will know your fate. That’s for sure.”

Jane Smith shuddered. “Why?”

“If that kind of news gets out, the people who always wanted to suck up to Trent Wilson will definitely hear it. In order to curry favor with Trent Wilson, won’t they come after you then?”

Quinn Young shook her head.

Jane Smith was shocked.

It made sense. It was logically correct for them to go after the aggressor—which would be her—if she released such baseless news.

Quinn Young continued. “And think about it, if someone were to spread rumors that you’re engaged to a beggar, wouldn’t you be angry?”

“You should know what happens when Cara Williams is, right?”

A chill ran down Jane Smith’s spine.

“Let me take a step back and say that even if what you said is true that Cole Stone and Cara Williams really have something going on in secret, do you really think that the chairman of such a large and reputable corporation would let the news of her gigolo be out there in the open?”

“What if it reaches Trent Wilson’s ears?”

“When that happens, then you might be forced out of Sky City. You will never be able to return here again.”

Jane Smith was scared out of her wits.

Looking at Jane Smith’s pale face, Quinn Young did not continue any further since she had already dismissed all of her potential plans.

A long silence fell.

Then Quinn Young said, “Ideas aren’t bad, but letting your imagination run wild is dangerous…”

“Think about Cole Stone’s potential backer!”

“As for him being Cara Williams’ fiancé? That is simply a joke. Don’t even think about it.”

Jane Smith’s face turned pale.

But she was powerless to refute Quinn Young’s words.

Under Quinn Young’s meticulous nitpicking, she finally understood how dumb she was.

Cole Stone could not even compare to Trent Wilson’s lackey.

If Cole Stone managed to defeat Trent Wilson in the quest for Cara Williams’s heart, then pigs would surely be able to fly afterwards!

Later…

Quinn Young forced Jane Smith to think for a long time, but she could not come up with any other names of Cole Stone’s potential backer.

The two could only give up.

It seemed that they would have to give up on taking revenge for now.

But giving up didn’t mean that they had already forgiven Cole Stone.

Both Quinn Young and Jane Smith felt extremely indignant.

The two of them were already in a sorry state because of Cole Stone.

If they were to give up now, that would mean swallowing a huge loss.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But if they did not give up, what could they even do to Cole Stone?

“I’m going out now.”

Quinn Young stood up.

Since they could not come up with any countermeasures, it was about time for her to leave.

She still had to think about how she would deal with the trouble at the bank. If she wanted to keep earning money, then she naturally had to go back and think of a solution to appease the higher-ups.

Initially, she thought that she would be able to get a share from Cole Stone’s house and his million dollars. At the very least, she would be able to get tens of thousands of dollars.

But now, all of her efforts have gone down the drain.

Quinn Young’s situation became even worse.

“I’ll walk with you downstairs.”

Jane Smith spoke.

All of a sudden…

A cold voice rang out.

“Oh, so you’re leaving with her?”

Flint Smith walked out and sneered.

Jane Smith was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean?” Flint Smith sneered. “Playing dumb, eh?”

Susan Collins walked out and looked at Jane Smith with a dark look.

Seeing the two of them like this, Jane Smith was even more confused, but she knew that it was definitely not something good. “What exactly happened?”

Quinn Young was stunned.

Was the Smiths fighting among themselves?

“What’s wrong, you say? Okay, I’ll tell you what’s wrong then—where did the ten thousand dollars in your bank card go?”

Flint Smith gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to skin Jane Smith alive.

“Did you pocket the money for your brother’s dowry?”

Susan Collins furiously stepped forward.

“I didn’t!” Jane Smith’s expression drastically changed as she frantically denied the allegation.

“Where did the money go then?”

Flint Smith roared.

He wanted to get married.

Without Jane Smith’s money, it would be nigh impossible for him to get married.

Jane Smith hesitated.

If she told them the truth, she would definitely be roasted by both Susan Collins and Flint Smith.

She suffered under such a great humiliation tonight.

But if they knew that she spent ten thousand dollars on a failed endeavor…

She would definitely be scolded for at least half a year.

But Quinn Young could not stand it anymore.

Jane Smith was not only dumb, but she was needlessly loyal to the Smiths.

Why was she being scolded for spending the money she painstakingly saved up on her own?

What kind of logic was that?

This mother and son pair was ridiculous!
