Chapter 8
The venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at each other, but intimidated by my father’s authority, they prepared to raise their paddles.
“Forgot to mention–this foreign freak starts at one cent.”
“Begin.”
My father sat majestically, chin propped on his hand, looking at the crowd.
“I bid… one dollar.” Someone raised their paddle.
As if inspired, everyone began bidding, but only raising it by one dollar each time.
Alex’s face turned red with anger as she glared at me viciously. “Quinn Moon, you’ve finally shown your true colors. All these years you’ve been playing the innocent act, stringing Liam along–was it fun? You don’t need to humiliate me. My family isn’t to be trifled with either!”
As soon as she finished speaking, my father snapped his fingers.
Soon someone handed Alex news of Morgan Group’s broken capital chain and impending bankruptcy.
“You mean this Morgan family? Too bad they can barely save themselves now. They’ve probably forgotten they have a troublemaker like you, right? Should I help remind them to come redeem you?”
Damn!
C
I looked at my father with admiring eyes.
To bankrupt the Morgan family in just three days–my father’s power was far greater than I’d imagined.
Noticing my expression, he laughed heartily and patted my head.
Just as the bidding was about to close at sixteen dollars, Liam tremblingly raised his paddle. “One hundred…”
He stared under pressure, looking at me with deep affection. “Quinn, I know you’re a good girl. You wouldn’t do this, would you?”

Chapter 8
A good girl?
What exactly was this world’s definition of a good girl?
Did being submissive and waiting at home like a jealous housewife make someone a good girl in
Liam’s mind?
Even if I were from an ordinary family, I was still my father’s pampered princess.
What right did he have to trample on me like this?
In that breath, many thoughts flashed through my mind.
Liam was still chattering, saying incomprehensible things, determined to move me, “Alex and I grew up together. I know her best. She wouldn’t joke about something like this. As a fellow woman, don’t you have any empathy?”
Empathy?
I had too much empathy, thinking she was just a young girl having a hard time.
That’s why I endured it again and again, until they rolled into the same bed doing those disgusting
things before I finally decided to break up.
Liam added, “Quinn, I know you just love me too much. After this is over, we’ll get married, okay? Don’t you always want me to marry you? We can get our marriage license tomorrow, okay?”
Yes, I once naively fantasized about married life with Liam.
Thinking that binding him with marriage might make Liam settle down and live properly with me.
When I loved him most, I even consulted fortune tellers and tarot readers, just to prove we were
meant to be.
Looking back now, how ridiculous.
