Chapter 271

As expected of Quinn, very quickly after less than a minute of grief, she recomposed herself and went back to looking elegant and dignified again.

However, something was still off with her countenance, and her smile looked forced.

"Let's go home, Quinn!" I suggested, knowing she was only pretending to look calm.

"Okay." She got up and walked out, her back tall and straight, though her footsteps were a little heavy. This news had come as a huge blow for her. No matter how hard she tried to pretend to be calm, it was not enough to hide the grief and disappointment within her.
