Chapter 701


    Chapter 701


    Quinn felt slightly reassured after hearing L’s words- only slightly, though. "I''m just so scared that


    she’ll find out about Catelyn..." she muttered hesitantly.


    L had thought of that as well and sneered. "Which is why we need to hurry and make that old hag


    believe that you’re her granddaughter before she suspects anything!"


    ’’I... Of course I believe you, Miss Atherton. If I can be ady of the Atherton family, I''ll repay you!


    Be it Catelyn or anyone who has ever crossed you, I’ll make sure they all pay dearly!"


    Quinn remained dazed and stood still before the window of the hospital corridor for quite a while after


    ending the call.

    Though L had agreed to help her, she...


    L was right; there had to be a risk in seeking to better one''s position. Quinn had nothing else to lose,


    so she was not afraid to gamble. She wanted to be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton, and


    that position belonged to her.


    She grabbed onto the phoenix bracelet and put it on. The golden bracelet looked glorious on her fair


    skin, almost as though the bracelet was tailor-made to be worn by her.


    Hypnotized by its beauty, Quinn was determined to hold onto it. To be safe, she had to make sure that


    Catelyn was upied so that she would not have any contact with Granny Atherton.


    The sky slowly turned dark, and Catelyn received a call at night. Cedrick informed her that Javier was


    back and asked if she wanted to join his wee party.


    Shortly after Catelyn had run away, Cedrick transferred Javier to the neighboring city to start a new


    branch. As soon as Javierpleted his mission, he begged Cedrick to bring him back because he


    was, quote, ''bored out of his mind''.


    He started spending most of his time in bars and clubs as soon as he was back.


    Sick of being asked over and over again, Cedrick eventually agreed to go have a drink with him.


    Catelyn did not attend the party because it waste, and she wanted to stay with the children. Apart


    from that, she knew that Javier was bound to invite a lot of friends, so she would rather not be involved


    in all the drama.


    If Javier wanted a wee party, she could cook for him the next day.


    When Javier heard what Catelyn said from Cedrick, he yelled, "My future cousin-inw is the best!"


    He wanted to visit Cedrick''s house, but Cedrick never allowed him the chance to do so.


    Later that night, the group arrived at the Barricade Club.


    Among Javier''s group of friends, Cedrick was the oldest and most mature. Seeing how reckless the


    others were, he did not want to take them to his private room in the club and decided to reserve a table


    in the hall instead.


    He was going to keep Javierpany for a short while before leaving, and that was when Quinn ran


    into Cedrick.


    She had heard that Barricade Club was an exquisite club and wanted to practice by paying the club a


    visit to avoid panicking in the future. To her surprise, she spotted Cedrick the moment she came.


    Cedrick had taken off his jacket and hung it on a chair behind him. His white shirt outlined his alluring


    body figure, and his muscles looked as though they were about to burst from underneath the fabric. He


    held a wine ss with one hand and his sleeves had been rolled up to the elbow, showing his muscr


    forearm.


    ''If only I could feel those hands on me...'' Quinn thought with a crimson blush. She ordered two sses


    of cocktail from the bartender before summoning the courage to approach Cedrick.


    Under the colorful neon lights, the crowd was caught in the moment.


    "What a coincidence, Master Cedrick.” Quinn licked her lips, which changed to a different shade of


    color under the lights, as she walked over with a smile. "Are you here to rx with your friends?"
