Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 167 'Janet?' Quinlyn wondered. She froze for a second and then pulled out her phone without another word.

Mandy had Janet's Whatnumber, but she hesitated, too scared to add Janet.

Quinlyn, watching from the side, said, "If you wanna say something, I'll help you out." Mandy hesitated, and after a while, she finally blurted out, "I wanna ask if she could be my new mom." X .87% +58 Quinlyn was left speechless. There was no way she could help with that. Just because Quinlyn was impulsive didn't mean she was an idiot. This could not be forced, so Quinlyn decided to get the full story first.

Mandy didn't hold back and explained how Claude had been acting all weird after Jleft.

Mandy said, "Back then, you weren't around. I hung out with Quinton. Dad acted weird around Mrs. Suarez. He'd blush, break cups, and trip while trimming the lawn. Her smile made him even more awkward.

"I knew he liked her, but I didn't want a new mom at that time, so I just pretended not to notice. But recently, that bad woman moved in with her baby, and I think Mrs. Suarez would be better. At least, Dad likes her." As Mandy babbled on, Quinlyn realized that Mandy was super perceptive. That was stuff Quinlyn herself couldn't figure out. Maybe growing up in a loving environment had made her really kind. She felt mad at Claude but also felt bad for him.

As long as Claude liked Janet, she was willing to let go of her reluctance and accept a new mom.

Quinlyn decided to help her. But this was no small matter. If it was not handled right, it could lead to super between the two sides in the future.

So she called in her think tank. Three brothers and one sister.

awkwardness "Here's the thing," Quinlyn explained quickly, putting the phone in the middle of the group and bowing deeply. "For the sake of Claude and Mrs. Suarez, I'm counting on you guys." Everyone was rendered speechless. Claude finally fell in love and the women he loved seemed to be getting more and more impressive.

"Quinlyn, the first thing you need to think about isn't whether they can get together, but whether the Lynch family will agree," Larry said, trying to close the phone and asking the core question.

The others also thought it made sense. Given the Lynch family's strong and domineering nature, they'd probably look down on someone like Claude, who cfrom a humble background.

But Quinlyn frowned in confusion and said, “Isn't it enough that Mrs. Suarez and Quinton like Claude?" Her eyes were clear, and she had a really pure understanding of relationships.

Everyone looked into her eyes and was somewhat stumped by her question.

"Even with all the outside stuff, the most important thing in a relationship is if the two people like each other," Jolie sighed, thinking the adult world could be overly complicated and ridiculous.

"And Quinton too," Quinlyn emphasized, because Mandy was her good friend, and Quinton was her family. She didn't want either side to get hurt.

"Alright, let's ask Quinton first. Mrs. Suarez can't use Whatright now, and if they're gonna date later, he'll need to help," Stanley said clearly. He grabbed the phone and made the overseas call right away. It was just after six in the morning there.

10 11:30 Thu, 27 Mar A..

Chapter 167 00,87% L 58 On the video call, Quinton was neatly dressed, sitting in front of a desk doing his homework, with a bunch of files around him, looking super busy.

Seeing Quinlyn and the others, he smiled despite his tired face. "Is everyone okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, how about you, Quinton? Quinlyn asked.

Quinton just nodded with a smile, without mentioning much about his life in the Lynch family.

Stanley got straight to the point and asked about Janet's situation and Claude's intention to bechis stepfather.

"Claude?" Quinton was confused and didn't know what to say in front of Mandy. "Mom is doing much better. She just needs to take her medicine and she'll get better. She did mention Claude before and asked why Mandy hasn't cto play lately." Even though he was mature for his age, facing the issue of his mother's remarriage was still awkward for him, and he didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, the group here was offering suggestions.

"What's your opinion? Can you accept Mr. James?" Joseph got straight to the point.

Quinton's eyes shifted a bit, and he reluctantly said, "If Mom likes him, I guess I can accept anything." "Alright then, starting tomorrow, you'll help Mrs. Suarez and Mr. James have a one-hour video call every day to build their relationship," Joseph decided firmly.

The speed of this decision made Quinton feel like he had fallen into a trap. But he had said it himself, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

After the serious talk, Mandy was over the moon with happiness and ran back to the dining room to share the joy with Claude. The others left as well.

Only Quinlyn remained, looking into the camera and asking, "Quinton, are you very tired?" He was doing his homework at six in the morning, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

She thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to, I can cand get you." Quinton felt warmth in his heart. Looking at the girl under the setting sun, with the carousel behind her, he remembered the day they first met, and a smile unconsciously curved his lips.

"I'm not tired, and you don't need to cfor me. Quinlyn, when I go back next time, let's ride the carousel together again," said Quinton.

Seeing that he was still insistent, Quinlyn didn't try to persuade him anymore and just nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the call, Quinton got up and pushed open the window. Sunlight streamed in, accompanied by a gentle breeze, and there was a faint smell of blood.

On the lawn outside, there were drops of blood, and the bodies from last night's attack had just been retrieved from the artificial lake.

His body was still trembling, and Quinton held his hand, which was numb from the recoil of the gun.

Every day here was filled with attacks. As the last remaining bloodline of the Lynch family, he was like a living target. If he didn't killothers, he'd be killed. But he had to survive for his mom's sake. He also wanted to see Quinlyn sooner. Quinlyn felt a bit melancholic. She could sense Quinton's unhappiness but felt powerless to help because it was his choice. "Quinlyn, everyone has their own path, and you can't protect everyone for a lifetime," Larry cover with a drink, and he 11:30 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 167 deliberately pressed the cold glass against Quinlyn's face.

Quinlyn was slightly stunned, looked up at him, and said bluntly, "I can."

"I know you're amazing and have the ability to do so," Larry sometimes really felt defeated by her purity. He e felt both helpless and amused, saying, "But the people who truly care about you wouldn't want that. We don't want to hold you back. "We also want to becstronger enough to protect you. The word 'protect' is mutual, you understand?" It was mutual. For the first time, Quinlyn realized that the dictionary definition didn't cover everything. Many words took on new meanings when they happened between people.

It was also the first tshe realized that everyone around her wanted to protect her. That feeling made her heart feel warm, soft, and very comfortable.

From then on, Mandy would report to Quinlyn about her dad's dating progress every day. The two kids watched it like a TV show, and Mandy even explained it to Quinlyn.

Tflew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. One day, Quinlyn heard her phone ring and habitually answered it.

"Mandy." After she called out, however, Bennett's voice cfrom the other end, "Quinlyn, it's me. This mering, in a public restroom, we found a baby abandoned by Lisa.” 1 0 AD Comment mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
