Tyrone lounged around in bed with her for a while before finally getting up to freshen up.
After having the breakfast Tyrone had brought over, Quintessa said, "Let's go."
On their way, Tyrone filled Quintessa in on the Yates family. "Today, Lilian got bailed out. She's definitely going to be picked up by someone from the Yates family. The Yates family has always had a bad reputation. The distinguished families like Emberbrook don't want much involvement with them. were involved in organized crime in the early days and were suppressed. Later on, they whitewashed their image and started engaging in import and export trades. Barely qualifies them as respectable businessmen, I guess."
When Tyrone mentioned the Yates family, Quintessa clearly sensed his disdain. It seemed she had no respect for the Yates family.
"The head of the Yates family is Lilian's cousin. These days, the family tree has spread wide, with its fair share of good-for-nothings. Lilian's father is still around, but her mother passed away. She has a brother who got involved in some criminal activities and fled the country, and hasn't been back since. Her father's been edged out of the power circle in the Yates family. Honestly, Lilian doesn't hold much sway there anymore."
"But that doesn't mean that it's easy to deal with Lilian. You still need to watch whose toes you're stepping on. And the current Yates family has a..." Tyrone trailed off, hesitating before deciding not to continue. Quintessa was curious, "Has a what?"
Tyrone ruffled her hair, "Nothing. You're unlikely to cross paths with this person."
Quintessa had been with the Young family for many years, yet she had never visited the Yates family. During holidays, Lilian would take Miranda and her brother out but never included Quintessa. And the Yates family never paid visits to the Youngs, so her knowledge about them was quite limited.
She was meeting Lilian today to prevent Sean from pulling Lilian over to his side. It was crucial to divide them beforehand, to prevent them from reconciling, which would make them much harder to deal with.
As the car stopped at the detention center, Quintessa's eyes were immediately drawn to a sleek black Bentley, silently parked under the sun, its emblem gleaming metallically.
"That must be the Yates family's car," Tyrone remarked.
When the detention center's gates opened, Quintessa saw a
haggard-looking Lilian. She moved to push open the car door, intending to get out, but Tyrone said, "l come with you."
Quintessa stopped him, "No, wait here for me. There are things I want to say to her in private. I appreciate your willingness to help, really, but some things, I need to handle them myself."
Tyrone frowned, "When will you learn to rely on me?"
"Maybe someday. But not yet. I'm not ready for that."
Tyrone grabbed Quintessa's wrist, "Don't go far. Stay within my line of sight."
Quintessa nodded and got out of the car.
Dressed casually in a black
sleeveless dress, her fair arms and
slender legs were on display, radiating a charm that made even the simplest outfit seem luxurious. She had that knack. The curve of her lips as she walked was more dazzling than the sun.
Quintessa walked straight up to Lilian, "Long time no see."
Lilian, about to open the Bentley's door, was like a lit fuse the moment she saw Quintessa, exploding with anger, "You bitch! How dare you come to see me? I'll tear you apart."
Quintessa raised her hand with her bag to block Lilian's, "You just got out of the detention center. If you don't want to get in again, I'd suggest you calm down."
