Chapter 1018:
However, memories of their past stirred pity in Elyse. She tried reasoning, “Let it go, Fiona. Stop doing these
awful things. Quinn seems like a decent guy. Why not just live a happy life with him?”
“Shut up!” Fiona exploded, her voice filled with venom. “If he’s so great, then why don’t you be with him? Give
Jayden back to me! Letbe the respectable Mrs. Owen.”
Elyse suddenly realized Fiona’s obsession—Jayden was her ticket to becoming rich and respectable. “The Owen
family cut ties with him,” Elyse explained patiently. “Even if you marry him, you are still nothing in the Owen
family’s eyes. You need to stop chasing this delusion.”

“I don’t care! Jayden has plenty of money. If | marry him, | won't suffer,” Fiona spat, her motives now laid bare.
“You love playing the saint, don’t you? Fine. Then give Jayden to me! Lethave that luxurious lifestyle!”
Fiona’s voice rose to a fever pitch.
“You think Quinn’s so wonderful? Take him. He’s nothing compared to Jayden—not even close.”
Elyse couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity, but before she could reply, the door creaked open. Quinn stood
silently, watching Fiona.

Seeing him, Fiona faltered, but her anger remained. “What are you staring at?” she sneered. “I said you're
useless. What are you going to do about it? You think you can sleep with me? That's funny! You're nothing! You
have nothing!”
Elyse winced, unable to listen any longer. “Just lash out atif you want. Don’t say these things about Quinn.
Don’t you realize how hurtful you're being?”
Fiona scoffed. “What, are you feeling sorry for him now? If you care so much, be with him! I'll take Jayden.”
Elyse was rendered speechless, clutching her head in frustration. Quinn turned to Elyse, his voice calm. “You
don’t need to say anything. Leave this to me.”
Elyse hesitated. “Are you sure? Should | go?”

Quinn nodded. “Fiona and | need to settle things. Your presence isn’t necessary.”
Elyse sighed, relenting. “Alright, I'll go then.”
“Wait!” Fiona shouted, lunging forward. “You're not allowed to go!”
Quinn swiftly grabbed Fiona, pulling her back. Enraged, Fiona cursed at him. “Are you insane? Who gave you
permission to touch me? Stop getting in my way, you loser!”
Quinn stared at her, his voice steady, almost cold. “You're only using me, aren't you?”
Fiona burst into scornful laughter upon hearing Quinn's words. “You are right! What's there about you that |
should like? Your unlovable personality, your silent nature, your stubbornness, or your impatience?”
Disappointment flickered in Quinn's eyes. “Is that all you see in me? Not a single redeeming quality?”
