Jack dropped Rebecca off at her place. Before she got out, he glanced at the sandalwood box in her hand. “Grandpa wants you to wear the ring, but if you ask me, you should probably wait until the shares are officially

“What is this?” Rebecca still didn’t know what the box actually meant. But judging from Michael and Peter’s expressions, it had to matter.

Jack just replied, “Amelia knows.”

Rebecca didn’t press further. She thanked him again and got out of the car.

Jack drummed his fingers twice on the car door.

Rebecca turned, puzzled.

She glanced back at him, her eyes full of curiosity.

“Say hi to Amelia for me,” Jack said, his arm lazily hanging out the window. His eyes glinted with that trademark carefree smirk. “And, if Grandpa asks, just make something up for me, alright?”

Rebecca just stared back, at a loss for words.

She wanted to ask why he didn’t just come inside himself, but then remembered how they’d been openly cold toward the Quinns from the very beginning.

Jack was clearly aware of that, too.

When Amelia saw her come in, she set aside what she was doing, her eyes full of worry for Rebecca. “You’re back. How did it go?”

“It was alright,” Rebecca replied honestly.

“Sounds like they gave you a hard time,” Amelia said, picking up on the gist.

Rebecca didn’t hold back. She told Amelia everything that happened before and after dinner, and summed it up at the end. “You were right. There aren’t many decent people in the Quinn family. Michael didn’t say anything difficult, but Liam and Patricia were working together the whole time.”

“Michael loves putting on a good guy act for everyone,” Amelia said, clearly familiar with his ways.

‘I still don’t get it, Mom, Rebecca admitted, doubt flickering in her eyes.
