Quintessa couldn't stand Miranda's partner.
But when it came to using him against Miranda, Quintessa wouldn't hesitate to play hard.
Miranda was on the brink of madness. Anyone who was subjected to Quintessa's relentless provocations would lose their cool eventually, and Miranda, always a ticking time bomb, was no exception. Just as she was about to unleash a torrent of screams and curses, Sean jumped in, "Jerome, sorry for the scene. Both my daughters can be a bit too headstrong."
Sean had been observing from the sidelines, trying to figure out Quintessa's angle. But seeing Miranda backing down and being on the verge of losing control, he and Lilian hurried over.
Jerome, with a cold expression, didn't mince words, "Glad you're aware. If your family drama ruins tonight's party, the Youngs can pack up and leave Emberbrook tomorrow."
Quintessa's hand crawled up Jerome's arm, "Jerome, why so harsh? I'm here because I missed you."
Jerome's hand trembled slightly. He knew this woman was all an act, harboring malicious intentions, speaking lies with every breath, and calculating at every turn. Yet, hearing her words, he couldn't help but feel a stir.
Jerome gritted his teeth, "Enough, shut it."
Quintessa smirked, "Feeling protective? Fine, if you think my sister is better than me, so be it. I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing Miranda turning pale with eyes filled with loathing, like a rabid dog losing its sanity, ready to lash out any moment, Sean immediately said, "Quinn, enough is enough."
Only then did Quintessa turn to face Sean, and then she glanced at Lilian, who was stern-faced, with an innocent look, "Dad, aren't you happy to see me? It's been three years. During these years, I've missed you every single day, wishing I could return to your side, to take care of you in your old age. Don't you miss me, your obedient, sensible, and lovely daughter?"
Quintessa emphasized "take care of you in your old age" clearly, sending a chilling shiver down the Young family's spine.
Quintessa, with her devilishly charming smile, captivated many, and she hid her dark heart under a facade of beauty.
Lilian spoke up, "Quinn, we'll let those shameful actions of yours slide, but you gotta have some shame. Now that you're back, remember things here are different from abroad. Don't play yourself to death." Lilian, being an old fox, was all but subtly threatening Quintessa. They were warning her that this was their turf, and if they wanted, erasing Quintessa would be a piece of cake.
Quintessa's smile was enchanting, "Don't worry. I've always been tough to kill. Besides I've got my brother-in-law, and even without him, there's Tyrone."
With a flirtatious gaze, she added, "But, even if I play myself to death, I won't go down alone. Remember what I said when I left three years ago? I'd come back eventually. And look, here I am, our family finally reunited!"
