" he inquires.A distorted and mocking voice responds." Did you enjoy my little surprise, Jackson? "Jackson's blood runs cold as he becomes aware of the situation. It's Quentin." You scoundrel ! How dare you speak to me like that ? I will crush you to pieces! "Quentin bursts into a cruel laughter." I would love to see you try. I declare war on you and the entire REYNOLDS family, Jackson," he says." You will regret the day you unjustly condemned me for a crime I didn't commit," he adds before the communication is interrupted.In a fit of rage, Jackson smashes his phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces.

What a pleasant surprise," she whispered in a voice full of sarcasm.Quentin managed to force a trembling smile." Mirenda. What an unexpected pleasure! "" Indeed, it's unexpected. From what I recall, you could barely afford rent. And now here you are, mingling with royalty and opulence. What a rapid reversal of fortune," she exclaimed with a mocking laugh.Quentin's cheeks flushed with humiliation." I've done rather well for myself, as you can see."" It's evident. Although I never would have imagined the poor Quentin rising so high. You struggled to achieve anything. Did you perhaps enjoy certain... advantages to get where you are?

They were bloodied and covered in dust, their faces reflecting both agony and terror.Exhausted, they collapsed into their dilapidated van, breathing heavily." Start the engine ! Start it ! " exclaimed the first delinquent." Wait, I need to stop this bleeding. That wretched guest wounded my leg!" replied the second delinquent in a trembling voice.He hastily tore a tattered piece of his shirt to fashion an improvised tourniquet. The first delinquent started the engine, trembling, and then abruptly accelerated, narrowly missing a trash bin." The authorities will not take long to arrive, rest assured," he said in an anxious voice." Head towards our hideout. I urgently need medical attention," groaned the second delinquent through gritted teeth.[ 15 minutes later ]They finally reached their dilapidated hideout, trembling with fever and terror.

Unexpected Wealth Chapter 37 : The Twisted Games of Rao Torres.
Suddenly, she changed the conversation, inquiring about the possibility of slipping away before Rao Torres returned." I must take my leave. It would be inappropriate for Mr. Torres to discover me here again," she exclaimed hastily.Quentin endeavored to learn her name." Please, kindly reveal your name before you go."She looked at him tenderly." My name is Meena. I am one of Mr. Rao Torres' cleaning ladies."Without another word, she hurriedly left the room. Once outside, Meena couldn't help but shed tears.

Despite having recently been discharged from the hospital, Rao Torres' words about Meena continued to haunt his mind.He sat at his desk, his gaze lost in the distance through the window. Pensively sipping his coffee, he futilely attempted to make sense of the chaotic puzzle of recent events." What meaning can be attributed to all of this..." he murmured softly, nervously clasping his hands together.He couldn't comprehend Meena being involved in the theft during Rao's party." What interest would she have in acting this way?" he thought." No... It's impossible," he whispered, shaking his head in disbelief.However, he placed blind trust in Rao Torres. He was torn between his loyalty to Rao and his belief in Meena.That's when he stood up and began pacing the room, nervously running his hand through his hair." What should I do..." he murmured, his anxiety growing. Suspicion now gnawed at his mind, disturbing his thoug

What a pathetic whiner!" the other adds, mimicking Quentin's tears.Furious, Quentin springs up and stands before the kidnappers, his eyes flashing with anger." You are monsters!" he roars." You will bitterly regret this!"Taken aback by Quentin's sudden outburst of anger, the kidnappers point their weapons at him." Stay where you are, or you'll end up like her !" they threaten.Quentin disregards their warnings and charges towards them with a cry of rage. A bullet whizzes past him, but he narrowly avoids it, violently grabbing the first kidnapper's arm to wrestle the weapon away from him.The other one fires, but Quentin takes cover behind his accomplice, using him as a human shield."

Rao had truly vanished.Furious, Quantin struck the wall with his fist, scraping the expensive wallpaper with his knuckles." You can run, but you can't hide! I will chase you to the ends of the earth if necessary! Meena will be avenged! "Then, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Therefore, we cannot permit her to disrupt his life like this," she added. " I know, Murielle, but it's not an easy decision to make," Quantin replied with worry. " Ethan is her son, and he also deserves to know his mother. I can't just keep him away from her," he added. " I understand that, but you must consider what's best for Ethan," Murielle firmly retorted. " You are his father, and you are also a powerful man who has the means to fight for Ethan's custody if that's what's best for him."
