At that moment, Quinn finally grasped the underlying reason for the sudden romance between Alexander and Getty, and how Getty had taken possession of her years of happiness.
During Alexander''s hospitalization, Kaitlyn held her responsible for everything, confining her to the house and forbidding her from visiting Alexander.
Throughout that month, she endured various punishments from both Kaitlyn and Freya. Consumed by guilt, she believed Alexander went racing because of her.
Kaitlyn made her kneel and withheld food, while Freya resorted to physical violence and harsh words. She bore it all, convinced that she was to me.
She prayed every day for Alexander to recover soon and hoped for his return.
However, when she finally saw him, Getty was holding his hand, a scene of their intimate affection.
Alexander told her calmly, "This is my girlfriend. You know her, so I won''t introduce her."
That was the first time in all her years with the Kennedy family that she felt heartbreak.
No matter how much she had suffered before, she had never felt as sad as she did at that moment.
She believed he was angry because she didn''t visit him in the hospital.
No matter how hard she tried to please himter, she could never get a smile from him again. That was the beginning of his cold and distant attitude towards her.
Getty looked at her pale face and smiled even more triumphantly.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"Are you angry? These seven years should have belonged to you. You should have been happy and harmonious, but instead, you lived so miserably. Are you furious, and resentful?" "Too bad, your anger is useless because no one can change the past."
Quinn suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and smiled. "I''m not angry. I should thank you."
Getty''s smile froze as she looked at Quinn in disbelief. "What do you mean?"
"If it weren''t for you, I might not have made up my mind now."
Getty''s eyes widened, and her burned features became even more hideous. "Are you crazy, or are you saying this on purpose?"
Quinn sighed, "I mean it."
The deep hatred between them, no matter how happy they were, was an insurmountable chasm. At least the seven years of pain had made her determined, so it wasn''t a total loss. Alexander probably understood this too.
He had no way, and neither did Quinn. They couldn''t cross this chasm.
Otherwise, he wouldn''t have neglected her on one hand and protected her on the other.
Getty stared at her suspiciously, never believing that Quinn could be so calm.
Quinn stood up and looked deeply at Getty. "Thank you for telling me all this. Now that I know the truth, we''re even."
While Getty was in a daze, Quinn said her first retaliatory words of the night, "You enjoyed happiness that didn''t belong to you, so you ended up like this. You deserve it." Getty was shocked. She couldn''t believe these words came from the Quinn she knew.
By the time she reacted, Quinn had already walked out the door.
Getty grabbed the water cup from the bedside and threw it at her. "Quinn, stop right there!"
