“W–what did you just say?” Marley stared at Julius in disbelief, as though she could not fathom such words coming from a man so famously proud and self–contained.

All around them, the other onlookers wore equally astonished expressions.

The remark sounded exactly like something a love–sick fool might blurt out.

But Julius–a love–sick fool? With that face and all those rumors about him, no one on earth would ever peg him as a man blinded by romance!

“I said that if Quinn wants to use me, I will accept it as sweet as honey!” Julius’s voice rang out, crisp and unmistakable, while his gaze rested on Quinn with undeniable tenderness.

It was as if, to him, being used by Quinn was the best fortune imaginable.

Marley ground her teeth; Julius’s words felt like a vicious slap landing hard across her face.

Until today, everyone in the family had assumed that Marley was destined to end up with Julius. Then, Julius had gone on a talk show and publicly acknowledged he was dating Quinn–now he was saying this as well. The message could not be clearer: the only woman in Julius’s heart was Quinn.

And Marley–she was nothing at all.

“Julius, have you forgotten what happened to your parents? Do you honestly believe Quinn can handle the kind of love that comes from the Whitethorn family? If one day she betrays you, then you-”

Julius’s expression changed in an instant; a murderous gleam flashed through his eyes.

Just as he was about to strike, Quinn grabbed his hand, stepped forward, and fixed her gaze on Marley.
