Quill could feel Vera's intention to defend him.

He didn't think much of it back then, but now there was a strange feeling surging in his heart.

"Alright, I haven't said anything yet. You don't have to clarify so hurriedly. Did I say he's abusive?" Vera didn't know how to reply suddenly.

She was dumbstruck for a bit; she thought it was exactly what her mother thought. Was she wrong?

Mabie then looked at Quill.

"Anyhow, thank you for helping Vera this time. If you hadn't helped in time, we might not have been able to deal with this matter in the end, so I should show you my appreciation."

After saying that, Mabie stood up and bowed to Quill to thank him sincerely.

Seeing that, David also followed.

Probably because Quill had never faced such a situation before, it took him five whole seconds to react.

"Mr. and Mrs. Zais, you don't have to do this. Anyone else would have done the same thing."

Mabie glanced at the tall and handsome man in front of her, then at wimpy Vera. She thought for a while, and just as she was about to speak, Quill's phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to take this."

He took out his phone and went to the balcony.

Mabie looked at her daughter while Quill was busy answering the phone.

Originally, she thought, after last night's incident, Vera would be in low spirits or even traumatized. But now? Vera didn't look depressed at all. Instead, her face was filled with happiness. When Quill went to answer the call, she even looked in his direction from the corner of her eyes.

Alas... It was indeed true that a grown girl wouldn't be kept at home, the truth to life.

Mabie felt both sad and gratified that the daughter she raised had finally found someone. She leaned closer to Vera and asked in a low voice.

"Tell me, what else happened last night?"

Vera was shocked by that.
