However, just as Quincy was about to speak, Greg snatched his phoneaway. “Hey, it's my phone! What do you think you're doing?”

Quincy froze for seconds and narrowed her eyes.

Greg was clearly feeling guilty, but he had no choice but to do it-what ifit was Kathy calling?

He would be exposed!

“Give it to me right now.” Quincy held out a hand, looking dead seriousjust then.

When Greg refused, she demanded, “Are you cheating on me, Greg?”“No way! Why would I do that? You're being paranoid-"

Quincy snatched his phone out of his hands before he could finish, andanswered the call. "Hello?"

“Oh! Hey, Quincy! Is my brother from another mother over there?”Quincy recognized the voice-it was one of Greg's close friends, andshe was acquainted with the man as well.

Greg was relieved since he heard the voice too. Feeling confident rightthen, he snorted at Quincy. “Why would you suspect me? Come on,you're embarrassing me in front of my friend here-what if he told theothers you're getting strict with me? They won't ask me to hang out withthem now...” Quincy smiled. “Oh, I was just feeling concerned. Neverdoubted you for a moment.” With that, Greg took back his phone andleft the room to answer it.

Quincy sneaked closer to eavesdrop.

It turns out that there was nothing suspicious.

Even so, Greg was clearly being weird and fumbling to stop her fromtaking that call.

Nonetheless, as Greg returned inside the room after taking the call, hesaid, “You must be tired. I've told the kitchen to make you somechicken soup, and you should take a nap after drinking it. Have youseen how weary you look?"

Quincy was actually emotional that he still cared about her, and smiled.“Well, it's for you and our son's sake. We're all Jeffersons, so there's noreason Andrew gets to keep everything for himself... Either way,anything you say goes now.”

Greg put a hand around her shoulder then. “I know it's been difficultsince you've always been working hard for our family. That's why Iwould never do anything to wrong you-I mean, have I done. any suchthing after so many years?”

Greg had certainly been dutiful and proper-Quincy could not fault him atall as a husband over the years. Rubbing her temples, she decided justthen that she had been paranoid. Her nerves had certainly been wornthin after toiling at Light Group for days now.

“Thank you for being so understanding, darling,” Quincy said as sheleaned against his chest.

Greg breathed a sigh of relief ever so discreetly, but kept smiling as hemade Quincy lie down in bed. “I can give you a massage to get yourelaxed.”

“Sure.” Quincy said as she sprawled herself on the bed, but she wassoon sound asleep.

The next day, Quincy and lan arrived at a fancy restaurant.

They had an appointment to meet Eastdawn’s representative there, butfor one reason or the other, they were late to the meeting.

lan was soon starting to get worried. “Do you think Mr. Cross is backingout?”

Quincy was much more composed than her son, and told him, “Staycalm. I've looked into the man-he’s

a man of his word and holds an upstanding reputation in his circles. Hewon't stand us up.”

And even as she spoke, James Cross was already walking towardthem.

Both Quincy and lan stood up in return. “Good afternoon, Mr. Cross.”James was smiling and apologized humbly. “Sorry to keep you waiting-something came up.”

“Oh, it's fine. We just arrived ourselves. Please have a seat.” Quincysmiled.

“I see,” James said and took his seat, handing them a document andcutting to the chase. “This is the mechanical component our companyhas developed for aircraft and large vessels. It will see a 30% reductionin fuel consumption, and I'm currently accepting investments due tosome recent capital stagnation. I wouldn't have done so otherwise, butI'm sure you can tell that once this component hits the market, it willdefinitely develop into a monopoly. Otherwise you wouldn't haveselected my company for a potential investment.”

That was certainly true-that was what Quincy and lan were aiming for.And they sorely needed something to solidify their authority over LightGroup!
