After saying all that, Quincy finally looked up at him.

"Mr. Lopez, you're out of options." She had a grip on Dorothy, like she had found Everett's Achilles' heel! "If you want a patron, I can find one for you. Just let Dorothy go." "Don't you get it? I won't let her go. This is my only chance to turn the tables and be my own boss!" For the first time, Quincy's face showed something other than gentle grace. She smirked, her emotions teetering on the edge of hysteria, "Mr. Lopez, when it comes down to it, you all forced my hand! Haven't I begged you? Haven't I pleaded with Ms. Sanchez? I've worked tirelessly to treat your condition, to operate on you, all in the hopes that you could helpout of this arranged marriage! And you? Oh, right, you said you were a germophobe!" She still remembered Everett's expression, as if she was ssort of contaminant that couldn't touch him! "I've tried reasoning with you, then went and earnestly persuaded Ms. Sanchez! But it's the swith all of you! Nobody cares about my situation! I once thought that, as a fellow woman, she could at least understand my feelings a bit. I just don't want to be used as a tool, married off to a man I feel nothing for! What's wrong with that?" The moment she realized her parents preferred sons over daughters, she had made efforts to distance herself from her family. She had immersed herself in her work for years, spending all her tin the lab, avoiding going heven during holidays, all to escape an arranged marriage.

And yet- And yet, because she operated on Everett, she found herself targeted by Jonathan Lopez, forced into marrying Everett! The most wronged person here should be her, right? In the end, she was still to be sacrificed by her family.

"Cure Dorothy, and I'll take care of everything you've asked for, no hard feelings." Everett said, facing her accusations with a cold, emotionless face.

Or rather, aside from Dorothy, he didn't care about anyone else's grievances. All he wanted now was the antidote, to see Dorothy well again.

"It's too late! Do you think I'd believe you now? Once the poison is neutralized, how will you retaliate against me?" Quincy shook her head, "I won't put myself in disadvantage anymore." S "But all this, wasn't it to avoid marrying me? And now you wantto marry you?" "Yes! I do want you to marry me, Mr.

Lopez. When gave Ms. Sanchez that bottle of water, I has given her the chance! If she had been willing to drop the lawsuit then, I would've immediately given her the antidote, and none of this would've happened! But she refused. She said it herself that she didn't want you, and that she wanted to fight the lawsuit to the end!" "I'll say it again, givethe antidote." Quincy had warned her. She told Dorothy that they would be on opposite sides! It was too late for Dorothy to regret, and she would use every means to defend her marriage! el "And I'll say it again, if you want the antidote, you'll have to do as I say! Just as the Lopez family has pressured and manipulated me, now it's my turn to do the sto you She stepped closer to Everett, looking him in the eyes, "Don't pushto make even more outrageous demands. Right now, all want is for you to marry me. I won't interfere with whatever you have with Ms. Sanchez."
