Chapter 131


    Meanwhile, at Farthest Shore Imperial, Quinton downed a ss of wine as he sat by the window. He


    then threw the ss to the ground. He looked extremely upset.


    “Mr. Taibbi, what made you so angry?” Behind him, a woman with a great figure came over and hugged


    Quinton from behind. Her fingers were soft and smooth.


    “Don’t ask. You shouldn’t ask.” Quinton’s face darkened.


    The woman was frightened by Quinton’s response, and she kept quiet immediately.


    Quinton also realized that his tone frightened the woman behind him and asked in a deep voice, “Tell


    me what you want.”


    “I want to join Clusia Media Group.” She was a fresh graduate, and it was difficult for her to enter that


    company.


    Join Clusia Media Group?” Quinton narrowed his eyes.


    “Mr. Taibbi, will you be able to help me?” the woman fawned.


    “I may be able to help you.” Quinton reached out and pulled the woman into his arms. “Let’s see if you


    can satisfy me.”


    “Mr. Taibbi, I will try my best to make you happy.” The woman smiled and wrapped her arms around


    Quinton’s neck. Her wless and dazzling face was indeed very tempting.


    “Come back tomorrow. I’m not in the mood today” Quinton pushed her away and went to the window to


    light a cigarette.


    The woman was confused for a moment. Quinton was not the kind of gentleman who would turn a


    woman away.


    He was not his usual self that day.


    “Well… If you don’t want to do anything today, I’ll just keep youpany. With that, the woman did not


    say anything more. She just sat quietly aside and apanied Quinton.


    Quinton’s fingers, which were holding the cigarette, froze for a moment. For some strange reason, he


    wanted someone to be


    with him.


    He rubbed his eyebrows. It was true he was indeed a little strange that day. In previous years, he


    wanted to be alone.


    “Today is my mother’s death anniversary.” Quinton smiled bitterly and sat down on the couch. “She is


    my father’s first wife, but I have a brother who is two years older than me. Isn’t it ironic?”


    in was taken aback but did not utter a word.


    The woman


    She just needed to listen.


    “What the hell? He shouldn’t have existed…” Quintony weakly on the couch, and his gaze darkened.


    “I didn’t understand before, but now I do… Men really are jerks, aren’t they? What do you think?


    Jessica?”


    The woman’s heart trembled, and a chill ran up her spine.


    “Come here.” Quinton’s voice was deep and indisputable.


    Jessica’s palms were sweating. She got up and went over.

    “Didn’t he agree not to do it today?“,


    “Let me hold you for a second…


    True to his word, her stiff body slowly rxed. Jessica thought, “Fine… If he just wants to hold me for a


    while…


    “Mr. Taibbi, if you fall in love with me, will you marry me?” Jessica lowered her eyes and asked.


    “No” Both of them remained very calm.


    The feeling was mutual. Quinton and Jessica knew they would never get married.


    “Will you let me go then?” Jessica asked again.


    “No…” Quinton’s voice remained firm.


    He was not in love with anyone, but he would not let Jessica go.


    Quinton would obey his father’s decision to marry Josie, but Jessica belonged to him.


    “Look… What’s the difference between you and your father?” Jessica mumbled softly to herself.


    Quinton tightened his grip around Jessica. He heard what she said. “You are a woman who is willing to


    do anything to attain. wealth and position. We are made for each other, aren’t we?”


    we


    Jessica’s fingers were numb, and she rubbed Quinton’s hair with a smile. “Mr. Taibbi, you’re right. We


    each get what we want.”


    In the meantime, at Samuel’s house. Josie had no appetite. Amazingly, when Samuel brought the stew


    out of the kitchen, she started to feel hungry.


    “Just have a taste. Samuel coaxed Josie into eating something-


    “Okay” Josie nodded.


    “Since you’re so obedient, what would you like to eat tomorrow?” Samuel spoiled her thoroughly.


    “Tomorrow… I have something on, so I need to go out for a while. Afterward, I’ll return to Frontier Bay.


    Reba and Sebastian are still filming. Henry…


    Henry was still in the hospital.


    “I’ll go with you.” Samuel’s tone was irrefutable.


    He would definitely follow Josie because he was worried.


    “No need… I have to go somewhere myself tomorrow.” She did not want Samuel to know about her


    treatment in the hospital


    In fact, she did not want anyone to know her condition.


    Samuel nodded and knew that Josie should be going to the hospital the next day.


    Meanwhile, at the rental apartment, Zachary lowered the brim of his hat and entered the corridor when


    no one saw him.


    Josie had told him to stay there.


    Somehow, he wanted to live there too!


    He knew it was dangerous, but he still wanted toe and take a look.


    After he took the key out from under the floor mat, Zachary carefully opened the door.


    He hesitated for a long time. It was as if he was afraid that his shoes would dirty the house.


    Zachary entered quietly. He put his shoes in the corner and looked around nervously.


    Although Josie did not live there for too long, it was still a ce where she had stayed before.


    The house was very clean, and there were traces of Josie.


    Zachary walked into the bathroom, carefully ced his blood–stained clothes in the corner, took a


    shower, and washed off his fatigue.


    As Zachary walked out of the bathroom, he looked at the only bed in the rental apartment and was


    silent for a long time.


    Zachary ced his clothes on the floor, then curled up by the bed and slept all night.


    It was the most peaceful sleep that Zachary had in the past ten years.


    The next morning, Zachary woke up early.


    Over the years, he was used to being in hiding and never enjoying a night of deep sleep. The current


    ce was the best environment he had ever lived in.


    Zachary got up in a panic. He held his inmed wound in pain and got up to erase all traces of him,


    including the water


    stains.


    He was afraid that he would dirty Josie’s ce.


    Before Josie went to the hospital, she returned to the rental apartment to get her medical ID.


    She pushed the door and walked into the room. It felt as if no one had evere in.


    Zachary did note.


    Josie walked into the bathroom, took a look, and smiled helplessly. He had been there.


    Zachary’s anti–reconnaissance ability was excellent, and he put everything he had touched back in its


    original position.


    However, the water outlet was still wet.


    Maybe, Zachary thought that Josie would note back.


    After she took her things, Josie went to the supermarket to buy Zachary a change of clothes, medicine,


    and many daily necessities and bedding.


    When she returned home, Josie arranged everything neatly, including the men’s slippers she left at the


    doorway.


    Once Josie finished changing the bedding, she stuck a note at the head of the bed. “I know you sleep


    on the ground. Now you can sleep on the bed unless you dislike the ugly sheet I bought.”


    Josie knew that Zachary did not touch her bed.


    He was so cautious that it broke her heart.


    Josie also left a note on the first aid box


    She knew Zachary was injured, but he did not dare to go to the hospital or buy any medicine. He was


    afraid of getting into


    trouble.


    It was hard to imagine how Zachary had spent thest ten years.


    He was all alone and in hiding. When he got injured, he had to take care of himself.


    Josie also stocked up the refrigerator and pasted a note on the door. “There are milk, yogurt, fruits, and


    vegetables. Remember to eat them before the expiration dates. Don’t waste food.”
