The servant, without the slightest hesitation, pulls the trigger and unleashes several volleys of bullets at Quentin.Quentin rushes to the side, narrowly avoiding the projectiles that graze his body. He shouts vehemently at Diego and the other staff members ; " Please find refuge ! "Diego pins Quentin to the ground behind a marble pillar as more detonations are heard." Are you hit, sir ? " Diego asks insistently." No, I'm fine," Quentin retorts.Quentin carefully peers around the pillar to catch a glimpse of the shooter swiftly approaching them, firing wildly and shattering vases and mirrors.Subsequently, he scans the surroundings in search of a weapon and spots a broken broomstick lying nearby." It may not be the ideal choice, but it's better than nothing," he thinks." Diego... I need you to create a diversion. Just give me a few seconds!" whispered Quentin.Diego nodded and emerged from behind the marble pillar, thus catching the shooter's attention." Hey ! Over here!" excl

I came here to make a private phone call," he stammers.The butler furrows his brows, seemingly unconvinced." A private phone call ? In these deserted corridors ? "Diego struggles to swallow, sweat now trickling down his forehead. His mind races frantically, searching for a way to defuse the butler's growing suspicions."

Jasmine is pregnant with your child, and as a father, you have the responsibility to provide for her needs," she declares firmly.Quentin clenches his teeth, irritated." I will not be bound by a mere fleeting impulse, Maya. My only obligation is towards my heritage," he retorts sharply.Maya fixes him with a stern gaze." And what becomes of your inheritance if there is no heir, sir? Do you wish to see it extinguished with you ? "Then she softens her tone." This child is innocent in its conception.
