Marley suddenly reckoned that Quinn might truly resort to violence.

Quinn turned her head toward Julius. Let’s go.

He inclined his chin in agreement.

Watching their retreating figures, Marley’s eyes burned with unwilling fury. She had not come here to help Quinn and Julius.

She had sacrificed an eye and spent years inching closer to Julius. Why did everything have to slip away the moment Quinn appeared?

Quinn, don’t you care that Julius has feelings for another woman in his heart?Marley shouted recklessly. There’s a girl who once saved his life! He’s been searching for her all these years. Aren’t you afraid that if he finds her, he’ll fall for her completely and cast you aside?

Quinn’s steps halted, and she felt his hand go rigid.

Even Juliusbreathing grew ragged beside her.

All color drained from his face in an instant.

SoMarley’s words are true? At the very least, he’s really looking for the girl who saved him?

Quinn, I-Julius parted his lips, intent on explaining.

Quinn raised a hand. We’ll talk when we get home.”

With that, she released their interlaced fingers and strode toward Marley.

Julius felt the sudden emptiness in his palm, the warmth that had filled it vanishing the moment she let go.

The distance between them widened with each of her determined steps.

A fierce wave of anxiety surged inside him, as though some day she might walk away from him forever.

No. I can’t let that happen!

He opened his mouth to call her back, but every sound seemed to be caught in his throat.

By then, Quinn was already standing facetoface with Marley.

Marley forced herself to lift her chin. What? I only spoke the truth. Juliustrue love is that girl. Once she appears, you’ll be nothing.

Smack! Quinn’s hand swung up and cracked across Marley’s cheek.

Her meticulously madeup skin bloomed with a stark handprint.

Marley gasped from the stinging pain, glaring at Quinn. Youyou hit me! I’ll call the police!

Smack!

A second slap landed, leaving Marley almost speechless with pain.

Quinn’s stare was icy. Call them. I’ll be right here. But Marley, what makes you think I’ll let you stand in front of me and belittle me again and again?

BBecauseMarley choked on the pain, her gaze sliding past Quinn to meet Juliuseyes a short distance

away.

His gaze was fixed on her with something akin to murderous intent.

It felt as if, should she stay another second, Julius would’ve actually laid hands on her.

And if he did, it would’ve been much worse than two slaps.

Whatever happened, she had to leave first.

Clenching her teeth, Marley spun on her heel and hurried off.
