to leave.
Motioning for everyone to leave, she waited until the door was closed again.
Quentin, panting from anger and urgency, blurted out, “You luirt Mr. Flynn’s girlfriend. Now he wants you to apologize personally.
“I don’t care about your past issues with Zachary. Right now, he has secured the Galvocity Mall project from Adrian. If you apologize. Flynn Group will include us in the deal.
“Come with me to apologize to Bella, now!” Quentin demanded impatiently, reaching to grab Gwyneth’s wrist.

Before he could finish, Gwyneth stood up, bracing her hands on the desk as she stared directly at Quentin. “Adrian is cozying up to Melanie to get Susan’s heirloom jewelry from me.
“Now, knowing I have conflicts with Flynn Group, he’s pushing them forward. Adrian is targeting me because he can’t stand Harrison backing me. “Harrison is still the one in control at the Lopez family, Dad, following Adrian’s lead brings no benefit to the Jenkins family. Zachary is aware of the power struggle at the Lopez family and has seen me with Harrison.
“He’s dragging me down only to play both sides. The table is full of wolves and tigers.

Zachary’s eyes kept glancing behind Quentin, and when he saw that no one else was coming in, a flash of disappointment crossed his face.
Bella, attentively watching Zachary, noticed his look and angrily gripped the bedsheet tighter. She thought, So he still wants to see Gwyneth. All this talk about cooperation is just a pretense,
Quentin noticed Zachary’s gaze too and thought he was still upset that Gwyneth hadn’t come. He said politely, “Mr. Flynn, since you’re in Joracity to collaborate with Jenkins Group, we should at least extend our hospitality.
f you
have time, please come to our home for a meal. Our family chef has been with us for over ten years, and the dishes are all Gwennie’s Lavorites. I’ll have her come home tonight to apologize to you personally.”
Quentin thought, Once Gwyneth is home and sits at the table, she won’t be able to refuse to apologize to Zachary face–to–face
Hearing this, Zachary’s eye brightened as he looked at Quentin. “Alright.”
Bella’s
eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly grabbed Zachary’s sleeve.
