Maurice blinked, still processing what was happening. My daughter? he thought, staring at Quinlyn, who was standing in front of one of the suited men. Pointing at him, she said, “He’s the one who hit the person with the car

The officer immediately wrote down Quinlyn’s statement. He gave her a sharp salute, his expression filled with genuine gratitude.

Maurice opened his mouth, his mind racing for answers. “What exactly is going on here?” he asked, still stunned,

Bennett flashed a quick smile and began explaining. “Lacky for us, Quinlyn spotted the injured man just in time. She hid him and called the police. Then, she worked with us behind the scenes. She’s a smart kid.”

He glanced at Maurice and Tina, his gaze pointed. “I think Quinlyn’s been looking out for you, making sure you’re safe. Don’t hold it against her. We asked for confidentiality

He sensed that Maurice and Tina wouldn’t just criticize Quinlyn. Although he hadn’t interacted with her parents, the scene earlier made it clear how much they looked down on and dismissed Quinlyn.

Both Maurice and Tina felt incredibly awkward, their faces flushed with embarrassment. They could only muster forced smiles and nod in agreement.

At that moment, the boss from DigitalKey Group was finally escorted out of the lounge.

Once the emergency treatment had been taken care of, Bennett stepped forward and shook Edward’s hand. “Thanks for your help. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve lost a key technical talent.”

Edward, who was still riding the adrenaline from earlier, chuckled and replied, “It’s all thanks to my granddaughter. I’m just glad you trusted her. I hope you’ll keep supporting her moving forward.”

Earlier, in the lounge, it was Quinlyn who had reached out to Bennett and come up with the plan. They’d already worked everything out in advance.

Bennett stole a glance at Quinlyn, who was standing behind the wheelchair, a sense of admiration welling up inside him.

Though he had his doubts at first, seeing her handle one crisis after another put his worries to rest. He now believed in her She wasn’t just a kid; she had good intentions.

The only issue was her abilities–they were a little intimidating.

It wasn’t just about him helping her anymore–he owed her for the rewards he was getting now. It almost made him feel guilty.

“Dad, this is insane! If something’s wrong, at least tell me. How can you let Quinlyn, a kid, handle all of this?” Maurice thought he was in charge of the banquet, but he’d been kept completely in the dark. That didn’t sit well with him.
