Quinn turned her left cheek toward Thalia, revealing two red marks. However, that was not the main issue. What did it mean that the woman was the daughter of a big shot? "Are you saying you got involved with the local mob?" Thalia asked.

"How should I know?! If she had just slapped me and left it at that, it would've been one thing, but... She said she'd have her dad's guys deal with me. Thalia, what should I do? I'm terrified. What if you come back and I'm gone forever?" she sobs.

Thalia, feeling even more irritated after Quinn's explanation, said, "Stop crying for a moment. Did that guy tell you he was single when you met him?"

Quinn hesitated to answer, "I think he did. I was pretty drunk at the time. You know me; I don't pay attention to others once I'm inebriated."

Thalia felt her temples pulsating. "I warned you countless times not to get drunk outside, but you never listened. Look what happened. You didn't even know if that guy was single or not, and you went out and messed around with him. You brought this upon yourself."

Quinn called Thalia seeking advice from her closest friend. To her surprise, Thalia did not offer any suggestions and instead scolded her. Quinn felt her anger rising.

"It's not like I did it on purpose! I wouldn't have gone out and messed around with someone else if you hadn't left me behind to go back to the country alone. Now you're just fine, cozying up to your Lucas, ignoring even your best friend!"

Thalia found Quinn's logic both strange and amusing. What did her going out drinking and messing around have to do with her? How could Quinn turn the tables on her so confidently?

"What do you want me to do? You've already stirred up trouble, so what do you expect me to do? Aren't you just calling me to vent?"

Suddenly, Quinn noticed a change in Thalia's expression on the screen of her phone. She did not immediately speak up, but after observing for a moment, she heard Thalia say to a man beside her, "Oh... I'm just on the phone with a friend."

The man's face was not visible in

the camera, but Quinn could clearly sense that he must be very handsome. His voice sounded like the deep tones of a cello, quite captivating.

"I'll come back after you finish your call," he said.

After Lucas left, Thalia looked back at the camera. She noticed that Quinn Kept glancing towards the door and immediately her

V

and turned sour.

"What are you looking at?" Thalia snapped.

To her surprise, Quinn winked at her in a very suggestive manner. "Is that your Lucas? No wonder you're

hesitant to come back. If I were

you,

I wouldn't want to let him go either.

He's so handsome and rich

"I warn you, don't even think about stealing him. He's mine," Thalia retorted.

Thalia knew Quinn's fickle nature better than anyone. She could fool around with all the men in the world, but Lucas was off-limits. "I know, you know I have my principles. I'd never go after a good friend's partner," Quinn assured.

However, Thalia was not entirely reassured by Quinn's promise, knowing how reckless she could be when she wanted to have fun. Suddenly, Thalia thought of Melody. 'Bringing Quinn back and placing her with Melody could be very beneficial for me in the future.' With that in mind, she decided to ask Quinn to come back.
