Chapter 1019:

“Redeeming qualities? Name one. If there were any, wouldn’t you be surrounded by admirers?” Fiona scrutinized Quinn, then added, “You should really meet Jayden. He is the epitome of perfection.”

Quinn chuckled. “So, wealth is a virtue in your eyes? As long as someone is rich, their faults turn into strengths, right?”

“That’s precisely my point. You just don’t get it,” Fiona retorted, arching an eyebrow. “Jayden’s wealth means Elyse benefits financially. Because of that wealth, Gavin gives her special treatment, and Cody is even more attentive and loving towards her. Do you really think being poor is no big deal?”

Fiona jabbed Quinn in the chest and said viciously, “The reason you ranked behind Elyse is your lack of money. Would she ever surpass you if you had cash?”

Quinn was taken aback by her perspective. He now saw her true colors: a greedy, aimless woman ridiculously obsessed with wealth. With composure, Quinn responded, “Elyse didn’t achieve first place through wealth but through her own skills and effort.”

Fiona instantly flared up. “That’s how clueless you are. You understand nothing.”

After a brief pause, Quinn stared intensely at her and said, “You can’t stand the fact that Elyse is better than you.”

Fiona’s face contorted. Sensing he’d struck a nerve, Quinn continued, “You’re jealous of her. Be it wealth, a husband, or her talent with the violin, you envy her because you can’t match her.”

Fiona responded coldly, “You think I can’t match her? You’re no match for Jayden either.”

Quinn said, “I’m quite content with who I am. I’ve never felt the need to compare myself to anyone. It’s your own emptiness and insecurities that haunt you, reminding you that you feel less than others.”

“Leave! I never want to see you again!” Fiona pointed toward the door, her voice cold.

“Fiona, we’re clearly not right for each other. Let’s end this.”

“Hmph, as if I wanted to be with you,” Fiona scoffed, recalling last night’s events with amusement. “Do you have any idea how repulsive it is when you try to kiss or sleep with me? It makes me want to throw up.”

Quinn was shocked, not expecting such harsh words. Yet, he couldn’t deny the pain her words inflicted. Feeling deeply hurt, he responded, “Fiona, my feelings for you were real.”

Fiona brushed him off. “Do I look like I care? Your heartfelt feelings meant nothing. You were just a means for me to get closer to Jayden.”

The disappointment in Quinn’s eyes deepened. He remembered how he had deliberately upset Elyse to please Fiona. Reflecting on those actions, he now felt utterly foolish. He gave Fiona a final glance, turned away, and departed without another word.
