With a loud smack on the table, Quintessa glared coldly at Vivian. "So what if I was wrong? And what about it if I called you out? Yeah, I'm playing the power card. So what? The one here is Mrs. Cecilia York, the queen bee around here. Who the hell do you think you are? Lending you that necklace was a favor. Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Mrs. York's eyes widened in shock as she inched closer to Quintessa, seeking some form of reassurance or perhaps solidarity.

Vivian, flushed with anger, stuttered, "You... you... you..."

Quintessa, towering with arrogance, cut her off. "What about me? Stop dirtying my sight and get lost. Or believe me, your precious West family will be filing for bankruptcy by tomorrow morning. Capisce?"

Mrs. York, still in a daze, muttered, "We?"

Quintessa stood up and slipped on her sunglasses. "Wait here for me, will ya? Keep an eye on my stuff. I'll be right back."

Mrs. York, thinking Quintessa was leaving for good, asked, "Where are you off to now?"

Quintessa just smiled. "To get the real deal back, of course. Did you really think I'd let you take the fall?"
