Chapter 121 The Forbidden Room
“Does it matter whether you meant it or not?” Julius asked, his expression indifferent. His fingers, however, continued to tighte
- n. “If I had known you were this talkative, I would have cut off your tongue as well back then.”
Marley’s body trembled even more violently. Due to the lack of oxygen from being choked, her complexion changed from red to white, and she even stuck out her tongue.
Seeing the situation, it was clear that Julius was on the verge of strangling Marley to death. In a flash, Quinn stepped forward, grabbing Julius‘ hand. “Let go! If this continues, you’ll really kill her!”
“I don’t care,” Julius said nonchalantly.
How could someone who never cared about their own life possibly value the lives of others?
“But I don’t want you to end up in jail!” Quinn pleaded. “If you’re really angry, there are other, more lawful ways to deal with it. Why do you insist on taking the most extreme route? Even if it makes you feel better, it could still ruin your life!”
Those once lifeless eyes of his stirred with a hint of emotion. He turned his head to look at her. “You don’t want my life to be ruined?”
“Right, I don’t want that!” said Quinn, placing her hand firmly on the hand Julius was gripping Marley’s neck with. “So, let go of her now!”
Her voice was firm and powerful, making people want to listen without them even realizing it.
Julius finally loosened his grip.
Marley’s legs gave out, and she fell to the ground, gasping for air as she lay there.
“Get lost!” Julius sneered at Marley in disgust.
With a stumble, Marley managed to stand up, her appearance a complete mess. Yet, she spat out words of resentment toward Quinn, “Quinn, don’t think I’m grateful to you. If it wasn’t for you, Julius wouldn’t have treated me this way!”
Quinn stepped forward, immediately grabbing Marley by the shoulders and dragging her to the mansion’s gates.
“What… what are you doing? Let go of me! Let… go…” Marley cried through her struggles.
In the next moment, Quinn had swiftly and decisively tossed her out of the mansion!
Thump!
Marley awkwardly tumbled to the ground.
Quinn looked down at her and warned, “Don’t misunderstand. What I just did was for Julius, not for you. It would be a total waste for him to end up in jail because of someone like you!”
“You-”
“And another thing…” Quinn interrupted Marley, continuing, “What gives you the right to talk about Julius‘ family matters in such a way? His past isn’t something for you to flaunt to others!”
