"Alright, tfor bed. Goodnight." He said.
"I really can..." "Dorothy!" Everett's voice hinted at frustration, "You can't! I've been holding back for too long." So, once the floodgates of desire opened, there was no turning back.

Hearing his husky and strained voice, Dorothy wisely decided to drop the subject, "Oh, then goodnight." After ending her call with Everett, Quincy put her phone aside. Her laptop screen was filled with lab data and cell culture results. This was her umpteenth failure. She was getting irked despite her patience.
Failures weren't new to her, but this time, it felt especially frustrating. Or let's say it wasn't just because of the failed experiments... Finally unable to bear it any longer, Quincy stood up and walked to the window, opening it for sfresh air.
Her phone rang again.
It was her father Ronin calling.
"All thanks to you, our family had pulled through this crisis! If the Lopez family hadn't cthrough with the money on time, our family would've faced disaster!" Ronin was ecstatic, but Quincy found his words grating.
"Do you even realize what I had to give up for this?" she asked.
"Ah, sweetie, you were going to marry someday anyway. Now that you have a chance to marry into the Lopez family, so what's there to complain about? Forget about our how contfamilies can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lopez family in the entire world? How many men can compare to Everett?" Ronin's tone was almost as if he expected Quincy to be grateful, "The Lopez family has only one heir, and countless people would kill for the chance to be his wife." "But what I wanted was a lifetpartner." That's a fantasy!" Ronin could sens vhat his daughter meant, but given her current situation, he couldn't be oo harsh. He tried to speake arnestly, "Sweetie, you've lived in Jxury in our family from the noment you were born. Do you now how much your medical education cost? I've never complained!

"Dad will promise you something.
Once this merger is complete and our family is back on its feet, if you truly vis back on.
don't want to stay with Everett, I'll support you. You can divorce him then!" Quincy almost laughed at that.
"Do you really mean that?" "Why wouldn't I? You are my own daughter!" "The Lopez family just casually dropped a billion to cover your losses. Jonathan isn't a fool. You must have promised him a share of yourproject, or you've agreed to permanently bindto the Lopez family. Otherwise, Jonathan wouldn't have simply handed over the money. He's not known for charity without seeing a benefit." Quincy said. He would either sign a contract or get profit. Wasn't that how the business world worked? Either contracts or benefits. Who would part with their money without a reason? A saint? "Sweetie..." "If I'm not mistaken, you chose the latter option because you didn't want to share your profit."
