Chapter 966


    So, starving her for three days or even offering her a fortune wouldn''t make Quincy give away the


    antidote. Not even if it meant the downfall of the entire family.


    Unless she no longer wished to live.


    "Saving your family isn''t something that falls within our negotiation. I''m under no obligation." He


    said.


    "True, which is why I propose an additional month of Ms. Sanchez''s antidote in exchange," Quincy


    bargained.


    Everett paused, "And if I refuse?"


    "What can I do? It''s not like I can just take it by force. At most... I just won''t supply the antidote


    anymore." There are very few things in this world that could threaten Everett. Quincy had finally


    found something that could leverage Everett. She wasn''t about to let go; she intended to exploit this


    threat to its fullest. "Mr. Lopez, are you willing to lose Ms. Sanchez?"


    "If anything happens to Dorothy, I''ll make sure you experience a living hell."


    "Saving my family would barely require any effort on your part, Mr. Lopez. The money is trivial to


    you, and in return, you get an additional month''s supply of the antidote. It''s a good deal."

    Quincy''s logic in her words was clear, signaling her confidence in winning.


    After all, the all-powerful and high-flying Everett happened to be an infatuated man. If he could bear


    to lose Dorothy, then what truly could threaten him?


    Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Everett spoke, "How much?"


    "I''ll have my father contact you."


    As Quincy finished speaking, Everett was ready to hang up. He didn''t want to hear that voice for


    one more second.


    However, Quincy suddenly stopped him and added, "One more thing! You might want to consider


    hiring some bodyguards for my protection, Mr. Lopez. After all... if an ident were to happen to


    me, if I were hit by a car, suffered amnesia, or... encountered any life-threatening danger, then it


    wouldn''t just be my loss. My death would be insignificant, but Ms. Sanchez would have no one to


    save her."


    Quincy was mainly worried that her words might have angered her father, leading him to take action


    against her. Although he had agreed to cut ties over money, she knew her father wouldn''t easily let


    go of a pawn he had nurtured for years.


    She couldn''t predict his next move, but with Everett''s men protecting her, she felt somewhat safer.


    ...


    Jeffrey had everything arranged at their ce before driving back to pick up his wife and daughter.


    Dorothy was in the back of the van with their twins, while Karen sat in the front, holding her


    daughter.


    At a red light, Jeffrey instinctively nced at the rear-view mirror and saw Langston holding


    Felicity''s little hand!


    rm bells rang in his head as he coughed lightly, "Well, Langston, remember that Felicity is going


    to be your little sister from now on. You have to protect her like a real brother, and never let any jerk


    take advantage of her!"


    Dorothy, unaware of their previous conversation, thought it was just a joke and didn''t pay much


    attention.


    But Karen knew exactly what was going on. Jeffrey was overreacting again!


    Ever since Arthur cursed in the hospital that Jeffrey''s daughter would be mistreated and abandoned


    by men, and Karen indeed gave birth to a daughter, he had be overly protective.


    He didn''t even trust Langston around her.


    "Mr. Turner, don''t worry! I''ll definitely protect my sister!" Langston said.


    "Just remember, you''re Felicity''s brother for life, her real brother!"
