Chapter 1272
Quentin seemed to have an idea involving me. He suddenly looked at me, with emotions too complex to be expressed in his eyes. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, all the words and thoughts converged into a soft call: “Ralda…” When he used to call my name, his voice always carried indulgence and affection. And now… Oh! I closed my eyes slightly and let out a sarcastic laugh. Quentin pursed his lips and dared not look at me again.
Before long, Anton had changed the medicine for Kimberly. He tidied up the medical instruments on the tray, and as he was leaving, he suddenly said to me, “Let’s chat, shall we?” I didn’t think I had anything to talk about with him. Originally, my purpose in coming here today was to “encourage Kimberly to go see Matthew.” I politely declined, “No, thank you. I came over because I have something to discuss with Ms. Palmer, so I would appreciate it if you could step aside.”
As soon as I said this, Quentin became anxious: “Ralda, what are you going to do?” I sarcastically laughed at him, “What? Afraid I’ll kill your beloved woman?” Quentin pursed his lips and remained silent. I chuckled, “Oh, don’t worry, her life now is closely tied to Johnathan’s, very precious.” Quentin still didn’t say anything, just looked at Kimberly inquiringly. Kimberly kept shaking her head at him, seeming a little afraid to be alone with me. Yes, back in the day, I stabbed her twice and almost took her life. Now she was seriously injured, surrounded by my bodyguards. If I really intended to stab her a few more times, she would have no chance to resist. Kimberly also reached out to hold Quentin’s hand, clearly afraid he would leave.
I sneered at her, “Ms. Palmer has so many followers, is so capable, resourceful, and talented in acting. When would she still be afraid of someone like me?” “You can stop pretending. You sent them all away just to take the opportunity to seek revenge on me.” Kimberly was obviously afraid of death; she said to me urgently, “I’m telling you, if I die, Johnathan won’t survive either. You better think it through!” “Yes,” I said, looking down and smiling lightly, “Since you know this, why would you still think I want to kill you? Do you really think that your worthless life can compare to the precious life of Johnathan?”
“You…” Kimberly glared at me in anger. Quentin looked at me helplessly and said, “Ralda, what do you want to say to her? Can’t you say it in front of all of us together?” “No!” I stared at him coldly. “I’m just asking you, are you going to avoid it or not?” Quentin clenched his fists tightly, as if struggling a little. Kimberly saw the situation and quickly grabbed his hand, anxiously saying, “Stay with me, Quentin, please don’t go out, otherwise she will really kill me, Quentin…” Quentin tenderly patted her hand and then turned to me, saying, “Ralda, don’t be like this. What do you have to say…” “Go out!” I suddenly impatiently muttered under my breath. Quentin looked at me sadly and said, “Ralda…” I closed my eyes and said coldly, “I’ll say it again, all of you get out!” Quentin was still hesitating and struggling; after all, Kimberly had been holding his hand tightly. At this moment, Anton suddenly said to him, “Let’s go, get out. If she really wants Kimberly dead, you won’t be able to stop her even if you wanted to. Don’t forget, she has bodyguards all around here.”
