    Chapter 761


    If Quinn was attentive, she would have seen that Ste had lost several kilograms in just a few days.


    Ste opened the door and invited Quinn in.


    Quinn, wearing branded clothes and a high-end purse, felt ufortable the moment she stepped into the hall. Nheless,


    she held Ste''s hand and said affectionately, "I’m so sorry, Mom. It was my fault, but I didn''t do it on purpose."


    Ste felt her face growing warm at the affection. She sat down on the sofa, wiped her tears, and hastily blustered, "Then tell me:


    Since when did you be a member of the Atherton family?!"


    "I..." Quinn hung her head low, pretending to be embarrassed. "If I tell you I stole Catelyn''s identity, will you keep it a secret for


    me?"


    "W—What?!" Ste’s eyes widened in disbelief as tears welled up.


    Quinn wanted to gain Ste''s trust before dealing with what wasing next, so she frankly said, "You heard right: Catelyn is the


    most respected daughter of Miss Atherton. Do you remember that bracelet that I''ve been asking you for? That''s the token of the


    Atherton family''s recognition of rtives. I secretly went to get the bracelet back, and the Atherton family recognized me as their


    descendant..."


    "How could you do that? That''s Cat rtives! Cat’s grandmother!"


    Ste finally understood why Quinn had been looking for the bracelet and why Catelyn kept it locked in


    a safe. The bracelet was a token of kinship all along!

    Ste felt a mix of fear and fury altogether.


    She then took Quinn''s hand and was about to call Catelyn while her panic magnified in her heart. "If


    that''s true, you must call Cat immediately. Tell her that you''re sorry and have her assume her true


    identity once more. You''re blind to your faults..."


    This swiftly irked Quinn, and she swung away Ste''s hand.


    "I knew you''d never think about me, always caring only about your stepdaughter! I''ve never felt the love


    from you for a day, and you even want to cruelly take my grandma, who truly loves me from the bottom


    of her heart, away from me! why would you do that? Why are all the good things in the world belong


    only to Catelyn?!"


    She screamed in a hoarse voice with all her forces as if to deliberately damage her vocal cord and


    burst her lungs.


    She med herself for turning soft-hearted earlier when she saw Ste.


    "It''s not that I don''t want you to be loved by your grandmother, but I''m afraid that they''ll discover that


    you''ve lied, and the Atherton family will never forgive you by then! I''ve been in the upper ss for many


    years, and I know what they''ll do when something like this happens very well. You may die!


    "The only way for now is to ask for Cat''s forgiveness. Quinn, can you be my good little girl onest


    time, just like how you used to?"


    Ste could tell that Quinn was so heartbroken by the tears in her eyes as she persuaded her heartily.


    Quinn lowered her head to hide the hideous look in her eyes. "Are you...going to help me plead with


    the Atherton family and let me go?"


    "Of course, I''m being serious!" Ste unhesitatingly nodded, believing that Quinn finally came around.


    Quinn raised her eyes again, and her eyes looked clear and harmless. "Alright, I''ll do as you say. I''ll call Catelyn after this meal


    and tell her the truth."


    "I''m really, really d that you''ve figured it out in the end. Cat has a kind heart, and I''m sure she''ll forgive US if I beg her to..."


    Ste believed that Quinn had changed her mind as she wiped away her tears of delectation.


    "I''m a little thirsty. Can you pour me a ss of hot water?" Quinn asked with a grin.


    "Of course. I''ll be back soon." Ste smiled, went to the kitchen, and poured a ss of hot water while chattering about her


    insights. "We, as humans, will be more overthinking the older we get. I can''t help but feel sorry for you back then. I


    shouldn''t have abandoned you for glory and wealth. Now I regret it, but I promise that we''ll live happily ever after together..."


    When Ste was immersing herself in her thoughts and insights, Quinn had already quietly taken out a syringe from her bag.


    She was told that the injection of this drug would cause cerebral hypoxia.


    With that, Quinn slowly paced toward Ste...
