Chapter 1730


    Soren pulled a face as he saw this. He gave Fade an angry look and said, "You..."


    Fade''s eyes swept over him. Without saying a word, he walked towards him.


    Soren’s face turned pale as panic surged through him. He retreated a few steps, worrying that Fade


    would beat him.


    It was at this crucial moment that Quin reached out and grabbed Fade by the arm. She shook her


    head gently and said, "Fade, forget it."


    He knew that she took Soren''s identity as the eldest grandson of the Zhou family into consideration.


    Since Taegan''s birthday wasing soon, she did not want to put him in an awkward position.


    Fade snorted as he red at him. Then, he made his way out of the living hall alongside Quin.


    Color drained from Soren’s face as he watched the two of them leave. Once they were out of sight,


    his legs turned weak. He had to hang on to the wall as he walked out of the living hall.


    He looked at the direction they went before directing his gaze at Daxton and Ford who had passed


    out. He took his cell phone and dialed the emergency number. After that, he contacted the Xu and


    the Han families.


    "Mr. Xu, this is Soren. Daxton has got into some problems. He has been injured and is now on his


    way to First Hospital. This is how it happened..."


    "Director Han, I''m Soren. Ford is suffering from an injury. Someone injured him. Not long ago, we


    were..."


    After the call ended, Soren gnashed his teeth and murmured to himself, "Quin and Fade, let’s see


    how snotty you can get."


    "Daxton and Ford are the only sons in their families for the current generation. You have


    immobilized them. What''s more, you''ve rendered Ford childless through that groin attack. The Han


    family will never let this pass. You''ll get a taste of your own medicine."


    Upon their return to the hotel, Quin was feeling dejected. Fadeforted her.


    The birthday party would take ce in a day’s time. After going through a whirlwind of unpleasant


    events, they were not in the mood to hang around East Stream City. Instead, they decided to take a


    rest in the hotel.


    All they wanted to do was to attend the birthday party and send their well wishes to Taegan before


    leaving the city immediately. They did not wish to stay here anymore, not even for a short while.


    At this moment, members of the Zhou family congregated in the family room by the courtyard.


    Sitting at the head of the table, Taegan could be seen knocking his walking stick and asked, "How''s


    it going?"


    Everyone knew that he was referring to the prearranged marriage between Quin and Soren. Hence,


    they directed their gaze at Soren and Annie.


    The two siblings had volunteered to address this issue. Taegan agreed as he felt it would be aptly


    appropriate to let the young resolve the issue among themselves.


    The birthday- cum- engagement party would be held the following day. Naturally, Taegan wanted to


    know if this issue had been sorted out.


    Soren exchanged looks with Annie. They looked rather dismal.


    She stood up with her red and swollen cheeks, looking very angry. "Grandpa, look at my cheeks. It


    was Quin who asked somebody to beat me up. All I wanted to do was to kindly offer an exnation


    to the situation, but..."


    Following that, she twisted the story while exaggerating certain details.


    Clearly, she did not mention anything about her rude attitude and insulting words. Instead, she


    highlighted how Quin refused to let go and how Fade had beaten her.


    Shortly after she finished talking, an uproar ensued among the members of the Zhou family.


    "He''s gone overboard. He even dared to hit Annie. So gutsy of him."


    "It seems that the woman is going to point her finger at the Zhou family. We’re in trouble."


    "There’ll be many distinguished guests tomorrow. Many big shots will be present. It’ll be terrible if


    she were to create a scene."


    Taegan couldn''t help frowning. His expression was one of disbelief as he heard what had just been


    said. He said, "Annie, could it be that this is just a misunderstanding after all? I used to visit Bay City


    once and saw Quin. She was such a polite girl then. I don''t think she would ever do this."


    "Dad, you are referring to something that took ce many years ago," Holden said. "It''s been so


    long. Time passes and people change."


    Samantha chipped in hurriedly, "That''s right, Dad! In this day and age, people are willing to do


    anything for money. Even a fool knows he could reap many benefits by staying in close contact with


    the Zhou family. It''s unsurprising then that Quin is willing to be so shameless in order to meet this


    objective."


    "Be that as it may, I’m not convinced that Quin would ever do this," Taegan said in disbelief.


    At this moment, Boren stood up and said, "Grandpa, maybe Quin won''t, but that man by the name


    of Fade Chen alongside her is surely a scourge."


    "What happened?" Taegan asked.


    Boren replied, "As a gesture of goodwill, I invited Quin over for a meeting yesterday. At the same


    time, I extended my invitation to Daxton, Ford, and a few others too. I wanted to give them an


    opportunity to befriend her."


    "Fade got in a fight with Daxton and Ford. I didn''t expect that he would break Daxton''s legs and


    destroy Ford''s reproductive system by kicking him in the groin. Both of them are still in the hospital."


    "What?"


    Upon hearing this, all members of the Zhou family were bbergasted.


    "That guy must have got balls of steel to incapacitate Daxton and Ford!"


    "The Xu and Han families will never let this pass. They''re doomed."


    "He has gone overboard."


    Holden said to Taegan, "Dad, as you can see, it''s a lot more serious than you would expect. Quin


    and Fade aren''t good people!"


    "Dad, we need to keep them at bay as soon as possible,” Samantha advised. "Otherwise, we could


    be seen as being connected to them."


    As much as Taegan refused to believe it, he could not help but pull a face at this moment. He


    sighed and stopped talking.


    Just as the Zhou family was having a meeting, Fade and Quin were making their way back to the


    hotel room after having their dinner on the first floor of the hotel.


    As they reached their room, they noticed that the door was open.


    They quickened their pace as they walked into their room. It was at this moment that they saw a


    group of people smashing their personal belongings while cursing.


    "Isn''t the whore here? Where is she?"


    "Smash it. Keep smashing. Smash all their belongings."


    There was a rumble of smashing in the room.


    Fade and Quin''s suitcases were thrown out of the room.


    He instantly pulled a face. As he stepped into the room, he eximed, "Stop it!"

    As the people in the room heard the yell, they turned around and saw Fade, who was in fury and


    Quin, who was standing at his back.


    Then, an unattractive and sturdy young woman could be seen walking towards them.


    The woman looked at Quin while pointing her index finger and asked, "Are you Quin?"


    "Yes I am," Quin nodded as she frowned. "Who are you? Why did you barge into my room and


    smash my personal belongings?"
