As I watched the exchange between mother and son, a cold smirk tugged at my lips. Whether Jared decided to

look or not, that was his business–I wasn’t going to meddle in his karma anymore.

Quinn, who’d been shoveling food into her mouth, suddenly looked up at me and asked, “That guy Jennings–did he ever ask you about me?”

I froze with my fork halfway to my mouth. So Quinn still wasn’t over Ryan.

Yvonne blinked her big, dark eyes and asked, “Auntie, are you talking about Ryan?”

Quinn nodded. “Yeah, that guy. He’s so ungrateful. I was offering him a shot at an easy life, but he turned it down.

Serves him right to be stuck working like a beast of burden.”

Jared finally realized his sister had a thing for Ryan. His expression turned cold as he glanced at me, then said sternly to Quinn, “You don’t have a shot with him. Stop fantasizing.”

“Who says I don’t? If he’s willing to be with me, the Holcomb family is his golden ticket,” Quinn replied, flashing Jared a cheeky grin. “If he becomes my boyfriend, you could totally get him a cushy job, right?”

Honestly, I didn’t even know what to say anymore.

Jared, deadpan, shot down Quinn’s fantasy. “Who knows, maybe one day he’ll be Yvonne’s stepdad. You really think that could happen?”

“What?” Quinn slammed her fork down on the table, glaring at me. “Victoria, did you reel him in?”
