Chapter 155


    For Miranda, Quintessa was a ticking time bomb. The three years since Quintessa’s absence had been


    the best times she had lived through.


    She had thought thisfort wouldst forever, but Quintessa burst back onto the scene without any


    warning, making a high–profileeback. There she was, standing on a grand stage, the center of


    everyone’s attention; she looked dazzlingly beautiful, as if no one could dim her radiance.


    This sharply pricked at Miranda, stirring up memories of past days that were filled with Quintessa’s


    presence.


    Quintessa’s sudden reappearance was even more shocking to Miranda than the time when Jerome


    had said he wanted to break up with her.

    Although Lilian was shocked as well, she quickly calmed down. “Easy now. I’ll call your dad, have him


    come back ASAP. This little wrench is looking for trouble. I was just wondering where to find her.”


    Lilian’s hatred for Quintessa was no less intense than Miranda’s.


    Her greatest regret now was not having dealt with Quintessa and her despicable mother once and for


    all in the past.


    Letting Quintessa live had disturbed the entire Young household.


    The young family was in utter chaos, but Lilian’s attempts to call Sean were all unsessful.


    At that moment, Sean was busy house–hunting with Ynda Temple. While signing the down payment


    contract, his phone rang. Seeing it was Lilian, he promptly switched his phone to airne mode.


    After finalizing the house purchase, Sean wrapped his arm around Ynda and said, “Take good care


    of yourself and the baby. Don’t worry about anything else.”


    Ynda nodded, “Okay, I understand.”


    She was pregnant, just one month along.


    Had it been any earlier, Sean would have insisted on termination. But now he desperately needed a


    son, especially with the doctors having confirmed that Matthew would likely never wake up, and Lilian


    unable to have more children.


    Ynda’s pregnancy came as a miraculous lifeline for Sean.


    Moreover, preferring Ynda’s gentleness and affection to Lilian’s sternness, Sean had the house


    registered in Ynda’s name.


    Sean said, “Give me a healthy baby boy.”


    Ynda blushed modestly, lowering her head, “That’s not really up to me.”


    “It will be. I have a feeling it will be a boy.”


    “Let’s hope so. How are things at thepany? You seem quite stressedtely.”


    “It’s nothing. I’ve got a n.”


    Ynda tenderly touched her t belly, the picture of a caring mother–to–be, though only she knew the


    coldness and resolve in her gaze.


    Chapter 155


    Quintessa’s name soared to the top of the trending charts before the press conference for “Whispers in


    the Wind” had even concluded. Images of her on stage went viral across social media. In a society


    where beauty reigns supreme, Quintessa’s wless visage was a ma for adoration.


    The Inte was abuzz withments:


    #CryingWithBeauty, where did the director find her?#

    #I could stare at my screen for a year now. Seeing you, I finally know what a God looks like#


    Apart from those dazzled by Quintessa’s beauty, some onlookers spected that she must have a


    strong backing and hoped she wasn’t just another pretty face.


    Online discussions about Quintessa were split into two camps: positioning her either as a God or a


    meré


    decorative vase.


    Quintessa scrolled through thements and discovered no hate as of yet, attributing the current


    peace to the brewing period such discussions require. But she knew that the onught of acrimony


    was imminent; it was bound to erupt by tonight or, at thetest, by tomorrow.


    Quintessa smirked to herself: Bring it on, and make it fierce.
