Chapter 97 Like Mother, Like Daughter
After throwing Arabella out, the gate closed.
Standing in the yard, I could still faintly hear the sound of someone banging on the gate.
Seeing me frown, Peter took some people and went back out, saying, "Arabella, if you keep harassing us, we'll have no choice but to call the police."
After Peter finished speaking, there was a brief pause before the noise gradually faded away.
Maria looked at me with concern, "Alright, go upstairs and rest. It's been a busy day. If you can't sleep, have Quincy keep you company."
I nodded, "Okay, Quincy and I will head up then."
Once upstairs, I took out my phone and called Atlas.
"Everything's fine now, you can go back."
"Okay."
Atlas's steady voice came through the phone.
After getting upstairs, I curled up on the sofa, feeling completely drained, like I'd been hit by a truck. I didn't want to move at all.
Quincy popped a grape from the table into her mouth and looked at me, "So what are you planning to do next?"
I shook my head, "Just go with the flow. But at least the wedding with Knox is off - that's something worth celebrating!"
"Anyway, I'm not the one who's embarrassed, and we're not the ones who need to worry!"
"You're right about that. Well, get some good rest. I need to go out."
"Where are you going?"
I asked lazily.
"On a date, of course."
Quincy held up her phone and waved it at me.
I laughed, "You're living it up, meeting handsome guys every day. I wonder which handsome guy it is this time."
"You know him - the owner of that nail salon from last time."
As soon as she said that, I felt my blood run cold. "Zachary?"
"Yeah, that's him. You remember him!"
Quincy giggled, "Isn't he super handsome?"
I didn't answer her question, but frowned instead, "How did you two get in touch?"
Quincy smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Serenity."
Seeing my confusion, she explained, "She got me Zachary's number. She said when she saw I didn't get it, she specially went to the nail salon to ask for it."
"Serenity helped you?"
When I asked this, my heart was trembling. Serenity did it on purpose!
When I was advising Quincy, she was clearly in the car. She knew I didn't want Quincy to have too much contact with Zachary, yet she turned around and got his contact information.
Great, Serenity, what exactly are you trying to do?
My eyes flashed with anger, making Quincy visibly uneasy, "Helena, what's wrong with you? Serenity was just being nice. If you're not grateful, fine, but why that expression?"
"I should thank her?"
I snorted coldly, "She should be grateful I'm not giving her a piece of my mind."
Then I looked at Quincy, "Quincy, listen to me. Don't go meet Zachary, okay? I'm begging you, please don't have any contact with him, alright?"
Seeing my expression, Quincy put her hand on my forehead, "You don't have a fever. What's wrong with you?"
I shook my head and grabbed her hand, my tone pleading, "We're friends. I would never hurt you. But this Zachary, he's really not right for you. Can you please not meet him?"
"Look how nervous you are. There's nothing between us!"
Quincy shook her head, "Fine, since you're saying all this, I won't go meet him."
She put her phone back in her pocket.
"And the contact information - delete that too."
"Helena, now you're going too far. How can you make me delete his contact?"
Hearing this, Quincy immediately objected.
"I'm really doing this for your own good, Quincy. I wouldn't hurt you. Zachary is not a good person."
Seeing me pleading until I was blue in the face and not seeming to be lying, Quincy asked skeptically, "How do you know?"
I said urgently, "Never mind how I know. You just have to trust me this time."
"Whether he's a good person or not, we can just investigate, right? Wait, give me one day at most, and I'll dig up all his information. Not just about him, even his immediate family members!"
Seeing I wanted to say more, Quincy waved her hand, "Enough. That's it for now. Don't think about anything today, just rest well. Wait for my news later."
"Don't worry, if this Zachary really isn't a good person, I definitely won't have any contact with him again!"
After Quincy finished speaking, she pressed down on my shoulders, making me sit down and rest.
Then she stood up and walked out, "Rest well, I'll contact you later."
With that, she waved her hand, opened the door, and left.
After she left, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, afraid that Quincy would go find Zachary after going back.
Only I knew that Zachary's appearance was exactly Quincy's type. If Zachary took the initiative a bit more, Quincy wouldn't stand a chance!
Thinking of this, I thought of Serenity, and the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
I was about to pick up my phone, but after thinking about it, I put it back down.
If I called her directly, it would only make Serenity wary. I needed to strike her hard when she had her guard down.
Thinking of this, I thought of Natasha and Knox.
After the video came out, Natasha could forget about marrying a man from a good family, unless she could marry Knox.
But now there was also Serenity. I wondered if their marriage would go smoothly.
Serenity had always been competitive and wanted all men's eyes on her.
Knox was one of Serenity's targets. I just didn't know what move Serenity would make next.
I didn't mind giving her a push.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly. Let those two fight it out!
John's house must be quite lively right now. First, Willow was caught cheating, then Natasha had her sex video released on the spot. This mother-daughter pair really proved my saying - like mother, like daughter!
I just didn't know how John would handle it - would he take this chance to climb up to the Pemberton family, or would he just kick Willow and Natasha out?
