Chapter 173

Quinlyn had no idea that they were venting their anger for her in the surveillance room. She had sent Calvin away purely out of goodwill.

Going undercover was no easy task, especially when dealing with family and friends. If she failed to act convincingly or hesitated at the wrong moment, the consequences could be severe.

That evening, Lionel hosted a grand banquet and even called Mariano over.

“She’s from the Wilson family, right?” Mariano’s face darkened the moment he stepped into the private room.

Since Mariano’s businesses overlapped more with the Wilson Group, he suffered more losses because of them. Seeing Quinlyn immediately soured his mood.

Lionel explained everything that had happened that day in detail. By the time he finished, Mariano’s eyes were filled with surprise, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“This is fantastic. Joseph raised that girl, only for her to stab him in the back, and she even got him hooked. Zaid was always so proud of his son, but now his son is finished.

“There’s no way Zaid is getting back on his feet this time. Come on, Quinlyn. Since you took down Joseph, that makes you my friend.” Mariano’s attitude took a complete turn as he raised his glass.

Quinlyn lifted her glass of milk in return, took a sip, and asked, “Got anything fun?”

“Of course.” Lionel immediately called for the person in charge.

The door swung open, and a middle–aged woman led a group of beautiful young girls in.

Quinlyn froze for a moment, silently complaining, ‘Does this kind of entertainment suit me?‘

Both men suddenly realized that Quinlyn was still just a young girl. It dawned on them that this wasn’t a good idea. Lionel awkwardly rubbed his nose. “There’s an arcade downstairs. Why don’t you go play some games?”

Quinlyn shook her head, licking the milk mustache off her lips. With an innocent expression, she said, “That’s boring. Can I kill someone instead?”

The room fell into an abrupt silence.

The two women accompanying them giggled, thinking Quinlyn was just joking. But Lionel wasn’t laughing.

Lionel had seen Quinlyn force–feed drugs to Joseph. Just yesterday, Quinlyn had personally ordered someone to get rid of Calvin, the one who introduced her to them, and dumped his body in the river.

That meant Quinlyn wasn’t joking.
