A scrape on the hand was no big deal, butMarissacould not bear such treatment anymore. The Moore family had gone overboard!The matter a few days ago had just died down, yet they were stirring up a ruckus again. What’s more, their attack was directed at the na?ve Deanna!


    Jepherson was no ordinary person and he deciphered Stuart’s expression immediately. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.


    “Book a ticket for me,”Jephersonmanded as he walked out.


    Marissapaused for a moment. Then, shestood up, followed him to the door, and praised,“That’s more like it.”


    Something came to Stuart’s mind. He turned to look at Marissa, saying,“Madam Marissa, I heard that Mr. Whalen doesn’t want his parents to find out about the matter. What do you think about that?”


    Marissa red at him,“I’ll y along with them. Are you chastising me now?”


    “No, no, I would never,”Stuart let out a sigh of relief.


    “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to apanyMr. Jepherson?”Marissawas angry. Stuart really was less sensible than Alvin.


    “I am,” Stuart walked out, soothing Marissa’s ire. Well, they had all been raisedtogether and she got along with him better than others.Marissabelieved that Deanna would join their family sooner orter.


    When Jepherson exited the Richards Family Manor, the car was already parked at the entrance. Stuarthurriedlystrode out as well asJepherson entered the car.He circled the car to get into the passenger seat.


    As the chauffeur began driving, Jephersonlooked atStuartand asked, “What’s going on?”


    “Quirinawas discharged from the hospital today. When she returned to the university, she threw Miss Anson and Scarlette’s clothes out. Miss Anson wasn’t going to pick a fight at first; she just wanted to pick up her own clothes. It was then thatQuirinawalked over and stepped on Miss Anson’s hand before Scarlette could stop her. Thus, herhand got scraped. Fortunately, Mr. Whalen arrived in time. Otherwise, Miss Anson might have gotten paralyzed due to the beating.”


    Stuart continued, “Quirinaeven took several minions along to the university. It seems that she’s serious about teaching Miss Anson a severe lesson this time.”


    “Where was Hadrian?”


    “There were too many people present. There was no way for Hadrian to intervene directly. Back then, Mr. Whalen was coincidentally present at the scene. Hadrian informed me of that.”


    Jepherson’s expression turned ugly,showing his impatience.


    When the car arrived at the airport,Jephersonimmediately boarded the ne. At the same time,something had befallen Quirina at Elkton University.


    Meica was so frightened upon receiving a particr call, and her phone ttered to the ground.


    She ran into the room in her pajamas, shouting,“Yousif, Yousif…”


    Yousif was resting in bed. He had just arrived at Meica’s ce. He had not seen Meica andQuirinafor some time.


    Thest incident had displeased Johan Moore greatly. He had even called him over to rebuke him. Such a treatment sent him into a turmoil, thus he had not gone there in a while.


    Yousif really adored Quirina. After all, Quirina was his own flesh and blood. No matter what happened,she could stillfort him.


    That being said, Quirinaalways got herself into trouble.Yousif had grown tired of it.In addition,Johan wanted him to cut ties with Meica. In order to cate him,he did not visit them.However, the moment he paid them a visit,trouble arose yet again.


    Yousif had just finished doing the deed with Meica. It was typical for men to grow sleepy afterwards. Yousif had not even washed up yet; he had fallen asleep on the bed. It was then that Meica rushed in from outside the room.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Thinking that there was an emergency,Yousif sat up, asking,“What’s wrong?”


    “It’s Quirina! Something happened toQuirina,” Meica told him, sobbing. Sitting on the bed, Yousif asked, “Wasn’t she sent back to the university this morning?”


    “That’s right,” Meica had only one daughter. No matter what,Quirina had the Moore family blood in her. Even if she lost Yousif,Quirina remained as her link to the Moore family.No matter how heartless the Moore family was, they would still spare Quirina and Meica some luxuries. Furthermore, Yousif had promised to distribute the family’s assets toQuirinawhen he wrote his will.


    “What’s the matter?” Realizing the seriousness of the matter,Yousif got up from the bed and put on his clothes.


    Covering her mouth, Meica could not find the words to speak, only able to wallow in a pool of tears.


    “Speak up. Why are you crying so much?” said Yousif, his face icy. He disliked clueless women who only knew how to cry when things took a turn.


    Not onlywasMeica beautiful, she was also calm and intelligent. That was the reason why he liked her.Judging from her intense reaction, Yousif realized matters were more grave than he had initially thought.


    “Quirina! Someone disfiguredQuirina!” Meica was out of breath from crying. She grabbed Yousif and cried out, “It’s all your fault.You were the one who abandoned us, causing us to get bullied by other people!You’ve forgotten how many people pursued me back then. I treated you so well, yet this is what I get in return? IfQuirina really is disfigured, I’ll never spare you.”


    There was a sh of impatience in Yousif’s eyes and he pushed Meica. Meicalost her bnce and hit her head as she fell.


    Meica raised her hand to touch her head. She tipped her head back and stared incredulously at Yousif, saying indignantly,“How dare you hit me?!”


    “Meica, let me have a look,” Yousif hurried over and pulled Meica up, looking at her wound.


    Yousif was not apletely heartless person. If he were as heartless as the rumors said, he would have left Meica andQuirina back then. Regardless, he still harbored some feelings for Meica.


    It was also because he had taken a fancy to Meica at first nce. She was different from other women, who only harbored malicious intentions towards him for their own gain.


    “You pushed me?” Meica cried miserably, as if she had gone mad.


    Yousif hugged Meica and cated her,“I was just in a hurry. Please don’t be angry with me. I won’t sit by and do nothing about this. Don’t worry. I’ll make things up to you. Don’t you know how well I treat you?”


    Meica was a smart woman and she knew when to stop her antics.


    “Okay, you must get revenge forQuirina,” Meicaid in Yousif’s arms, and he promised her exactly just that.Then, the two of them hurried out of the house. Along the way, Yousif personally bandaged Meica’s wound.


    When Yousif arrived at the school gate, Meica suddenly said, “Don’t go with me. It won’t be good if we get seen. We embarrassed you enough thest time. I’ll go in alone and take a look.”


    Meica wiped away her tears, suppressing her sorrow as shegot out of the car. She was the woman with whom Yousif had just copted. It rattled Yousif to see her enter the schoolpound alone. Meica had alwaystaken his position into consideration. Even if she was a mistress, she was still his partner, and she had even birthed a daughter for him.


    Yousif got out of the car and walked over. Meica paused for a split second, looking at Yousif with her beautiful eyes as she said,“Why did youe out from the car? No one has seen you yet,so you should head back inside. I’ll deal with this myself.”


    “I know how to protect myself.You are mine. Although we aren’t married, that isn’t becauseI don’t want to let you into the family. The outside world knows about us too. I love you, and you alone. Anyone who wants to judge us can do so. It’s high time that I did something for you and Quirina.”


    Yousif strode towards Elkton University. The secretary behind him nced at Meica and greeted, “Madam Meica, please.”


    Meica felt emboldened. She was finally being called ‘Madam Meica’, a legitimate title!
