And in the moment when their eyes met, he suddenly felt extremely
anxious.
“Andie!”
“It’s not what you see…”
Quinn’s voice was cut off by the sound of Andrea hastily closing the door.
She turned around and ran without hesitation.
I heard the sound of porcelain breaking behind me, followed by hurried footsteps.
“Andie!”
At the corner of the hallway, Andrea was grabbed by the wrist.
“You listen to me explain.”
Quinn was breathing heavily, his shirt collar wide open, with messy hair sticking to his forehead.
“It wasn’t what you saw, the Copeland Group ran into trouble, she wanted the Shillingford family to help, but I didn’t agree.”
Andrea looked down, avoiding his intense gaze.
“Quinn, even if there was something, it doesn’t matter. We were just in a business marriage. I came today to call off the engagement.”
Before the words éven finished, Gracelyn, with her clothes all messed

up, stumbled and fell to the ground, hitting her forehead hard.
“Andrea! Please help me! Quinn will listen to anything as long as you speak up! Please, do me a favor…”
Andrea looked at her hysterical appearance, cautiously took a step back.
“I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I promise I won’t hurt you again in the future, please let Quinn forgive me, forgive my family…”
Andrea finally understood, she squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze as cold as ice.
“You were dreaming.”
Suddenly, Andrea heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw some bodyguards in black uniforms.
Quinn said in a low voice to the bodyguard who came running at the sound..

Quinn walked slowly up to Andrea, his voice low.
“Andie, whoever hurt you, I’m gonna make them pay.”
Andrea looked at the man in front of her, whose eyes were still gentle but his methods were ruthless, and felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

Quinn suddenly grabbed her hand, his hot palm covering hers.
“Andie, don’t divorce, okay?”
“I know you hate the Shillingford family’s rules, I promise you, within a year I will make you the most respected woman in the Shillingford

Andrea took a step back, her back against the cold wall.
“Quinn, you have no idea what I wanted.”
“I don’t need you to pave the way for me with your power, and I don’t want you to make enemies for my sake. I just want…”
Her voice was trembling.
“I just wanted to catch my breath.”
Quinn’s eyes were filled with thick paranoia.
“I understand, but there are many ways to solve the problem, can we not separate?”
Andrea let out a heavy sigh.
“Sorry…”
He cut me off before I could finish my sentence.
“Andie, give me one more chance. I’ll prove that without family ties, without rules holding us back, I can give you the life you want.”
“And, the divorce must be formally agreed upon by both parents before that…”

His thumb rubbed against the skin on her wrist, “We were always engaged.”
Andrea suddenly pulled back her hand, took out the villa key from her pocket, and stuffed it into his palm.
“Quinn, don’t push me.”
She turned around and left.
Behind her, Quinn watched as she walked away, standing there for a long time.
