“Why did he come to see you?” Stanley couldn’t wrap his head around this at all. “You guys have never had any business with each other. There’s never been any overlap.”

“He was the one who ordered someone to trigger Samuel’s allergic reaction,” Gregory explained.

Stanley blinked in disbelief.

Stanley swore, “Is he actually crazy?”

The two families had never crossed paths before.

They’d barely even run into each other at parties.

It’s totally out of line for him to pull something like this.

“So, what are you gonna do about him?” Stanley had heard about Samuel’s allergic reaction and was seriously pissed at the third heir of the Quinn family. “Want me to help you out?”

Jeffrey pressed his lips together. “Let’s wait until he shows up. No rush.”

Stanley snarked, “Looks like the meds wore off–starting to hurt now, huh?”

Jeffrey didn’t bother answering. He just turned to Gregory, “Still nothing?”

Stanley was speechless.

Gregory was speechless too.

Gregory glanced at his phone, seeing no new messages, and tried to soften it, “It’s lunchtime—Ms. Jensen’s probably just taking a break after eating.”

“Rest? Give me a break. She just flat–out doesn’t want to deal with someone like you,” Stanley scoffed, dropping any pretense of sparing Jeffrey’s feelings. “If she really cared about whether you lived or died, there’s no way she’d go this long without checking in on you.”

Jeffrey’s eyes darkened, the emotions swirling in them growing deeper.

He just stayed silent.

“If you honestly can’t stand it, I’ll go fetch her for you right now,” Stanley offered, unable to watch him mope. “Or you could have Gregory text–her and say things are getting worse–see if she’s really that cold or just acting like it.”

“Don’t bother,” Jeffrey shot back.

Stanley genuinely couldn’t figure him out. “Why the hell did you stab yourself anyway?”

Jeffrey didn’t say a word.
