Filed to story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

“What if I told you that I could cancel my engagement for you?”

Flossie suddenly lifted her head and said firmly, “Lafayette, would you be willing to return to my side? After all…we already have ‘that’ kind of relationship.”

Hearing her mention canceling her engagement, both Herman and Quenlyn froze.

As for Flossie’s last sentence. It obviously carried with it a sense of threat.

‘That’ kind of relationship!

However, Herman did not panic or buckle under p**ssure. He simply smiled, “Flossie, what made you become like this?”

Flossie looked away.

“I’m sorry, since you made a decision, then you shouldn’t regret it. Plus, your are already engaged and I already have Quenlyn. I’m sure I’ve already exp**ssed my standpoint clear enough. I wish the best for both of us.” After speaking, Herman held onto Quenlyn’s hand and said, “Let’s go home.”

“I refuse to believe that you have no feelings left for me,” Flossie said as she chased after the couple, “Don’t tell me the pain you went through before was all fake…”

“Love should not be calculative like this,” Herman did not look back, but he felt Flossie’s words were unusually cold, “Plus, I believe that a person that often thinks on behalf of others, can never be that bad. Please stop dragging me back amongst the scandals. Whether it’s you, or the ‘good news’ you wanted to tell me, I have absolutely no interest.”

Flossie also did not understand what had gotten over her. Thinking back on the way she portrayed herself in front of Emma and everyone else, she suddenly questioned whether she had been acting all along and the current jealousy-filled woman was her true self.

“Lafayette, I truly need you,” Flossie stood up and said with urgency, “I truly do.”

Hearing these words, Herman finally turned around. But, at this moment, his mind was only filled with the injury-covered Quenlyn. Because he knew, Flossie’s so-called ‘need’ was merely a desperation to satisfy her unwillingness to admit that he had moved on.

“I’m sorry, but I think that there’s someone that needs me more,” Herman lifted his and Quenlyn’s intertwined hands and looked at her in seriousness.

He then dragged Quenlyn out of Flossie’s sight with no hesitation whatsoever.

Flossie fell back on the sofa in a daze as her hands trembled. Her past indecisiveness had blinded her from the importance that Herman held, and when she finally came to realization, it was already too late.

But…was it really too late?

…

In reality, Flossie had no idea that her so-called ‘need’, would make Herman understand what he truly felt.

He finally understood who he truly needed, who he treasured and who he should protect.

“You must be really happy inside. Flossie pleaded for you to take her back,” Quenlyn pulled her hand away shyly as they left the hotel.

“To me, she already means nothing.”

“Flossie doesn’t look like she will give up.”

“Then I’m sorry. I may not be good at other things, but I am extremely stubborn. Once I’ve made up my mind, I will never turn back,” Herman said in seriousness. “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

Quenlyn’s face was slightly flushed. But, it wasn’t clear whether it was because of the lighting, or because she understood a deeper layer of meaning to Herman’s words.

The two did not say a word as they drove. However, halfway, Herman received a phone call from Emma.

“Sis…from now on, don’t pass my information to people that have nothing to do with me.”

“Even if I didn’t tell her, she would have got it from someone else,” Emma replied calmly, “If Flossie has become a burden to you, then I will make sure that you will never see her again.”

“Sis…I’ll handle this matter myself,” Herman replied confidently. “You don’t need to do anything. After all, you were once on really good terms with her. I know what to do. I just hope that she doesn’t go overboard.”

“Is Quenlyn beside you?” Emma asked.

“Yes, she’s here,” Herman replied honestly.

“Since you don’t want me to get involved, then protect Quenlyn well. She is not from the entertainment industry. Don’t make her pay for something she’s not a part of,” Emma said with a deeper meaning. It no longer mattered that Flossie was great at her job and had sacrificed a lot for Herman in the past.

“I don’t think Flossie will go that far.”

But, sometimes, women would do anything when it came to love.

As Herman and Quenlyn returned back to the Xylander Household, they found Elder Xylander and Father Xylander sitting on the sofa in the living room. Father Xylander initially wanted to release his anger on his daughter, but unfortunately, the man sitting next to him was a lot more powerful than him.

Quenlyn wanted to smile, but was too afraid to smile. Meanwhile, knowing that Elder Xylander was around, Herman felt rest assured that Quenlyn would be safe.

“Go home, don’t worry about me. If anything happens, I will give you and Emma a phone call.”

Herman nodded his head and left the Xylander Household after giving his greetings to Elder Xylander. As for Quenlyn, she headed straight for her bedroom after greeting her father and grandfather. However, upon entering her room, she screamed as she discovered that the doll that usually sat on her bed was torn apart and lying on the floor. As for the clothes in her wardrobe, they were all cut into shreds with scissors.

When she opened her shoe cabinet, she found that shards of glass had been left in her shoes…

And when she looked at her handbags, they were filled with blades…

The fire inside her boiled. Her first reaction was to go look for Turquoise, but…just as she reached her doorway, she remembered what Emma had said. She had told her that no matter what was to happen, she should not act on her own. So, Quenlyn immediately gave Emma a phone call and explained everything that had happened in detail.

“Quenlyn, although this definitely has something to do with Turquoise, it may not be entirely her idea. After all, without your father’s support…”

There were some things that Emma didn’t need to explain in detail; Quenlyn already knew. But, she felt quite fortunate to have Emma’s support.

“What should I do then?”

“Don’t make a big fuss out of it. Secretly tell your grandfather what has happened. This would be better than igniting a war on your own. Quenlyn, you must remember, everything you’re doing, is to protect yourself. Don’t just appear capable on the surface, you need to actually benefit from what you’re doing.”

“Once you seize power, you can protect yourself and the people around you.”

“I understand. Thank you, Emma,” Quenlyn immediatey understood Emma’s words.

So, she did nothing until late at night when she gave Elder Xylander a phone call.

“Grandfather…can you come up to my room for a second?”

“What is it? Aren’t we both in the same house? Why are you calling me on the phone?”

“Grandfather, don’t let father know I’m talking to you. Please.”

Hearing Quenlyn’s plea, Elder Xylander got up and walked to Quenlyn’s room. As soon as he saw the mess on the floor, his face turned red in anger…

“Grandfather, please don’t get angry yet,” Quenlyn pulled Elder Xylander over to sit on the sofa, “Let me say a few things first.” As she spoke, she pulled out the medical report from her previous visit to the hospital.

As soon as Elder Xylander looked at the report, he was in shock, “Was this all caused by the creature that you call father?” Although Herman had already explained to him that Quenlyn suffered from domestic violence, he didn’t expect it to be this extreme.

“Ever since that woman married into the family, father has gotten worse.”

“r*bbish! What an animal!” Elder Xylander yelled. “Don’t be afraid Quenlyn, grandfather will stick up for you.”

“Grandfather, what I’m truly afraid of is the fact that that woman has already bewitched my father into no longer acknowledging our existence. There’s no way she would allow the Xylander Family to live in peace.”

Elder Xylander thought for a moment and eventually scoffed, “I never officially announced that I’d be handing Xylander Corps to your father.” Elder Xylander had a plan, “Tomorrow, I will combine your shares with your mother’s and place it all under your name. After that, you will have more shares than that monster.”

“As for this entire house, grandfather will also give it to you.”

Did this mean that she would have the right to kick Turquoise out…?

Did it?
