Libby sighed to herself. She had heard that men liked beautiful women–the more attractive and curvier, the better. Maybe she needed to change her style to get Quintus‘ attention…

Meanwhile, Quintus led his team to Ken’s residence, only to find the place much quieter than expected.

“Where is everyone?” Quintus, always hot–tempered, immediately grabbed Ken by the collar. “Didn’t Mackenzie tell you to gather the West End representatives? Where are they?”

“Calm down, General Quintus! Let me explain!” Ken quickly

ised his hands, signaling for him to hold off.

“Hmph, then start talking!” Quintus warned. “I don’t have Mackenzie’s patience. You already betrayed Teddy Tanner once–what’s stopping you from betraying Mackenzie next?”

Solana, who Emmanuel had sent to assist Quintus, couldn’t help but smirk. For a guy who looked like a brute, Quintus actually had some sharp instincts.

“You what?! You wanna ‘stick‘ to Mackenzie?” Quintus‘ expression darkened as he yanked Ken closer.

Ken turned pale with fear.

Fortunately for Ken, Jeff was right behind him. She quickly stepped in to explain. “General Quintus, you’ve got it all wrong! Ken didn’t mean it that way! Do you think he’d dare make a move on Ms. Quillen?”
