Irene laughed. “Men as gentlemanly as Mr. Wright are truly rare. Coming from the prestigious Wright family of Blumedale, Mr. Wright is far more refined than the so–called elites of Jayrodale!”

Leroy eagerly chimed in, eager to flatter. “That goes without saying! Mr. Wright is the heir of the Wright family- one of the Five Apex Families in all of Gabo Creek Province There isn’t a single family in Jayrodale that can compare!”

Quinton scoffed internally. He had absolutely no respect for Irene and Leroy. If it were not for his desire to conquer Christina, he would not have wasted a second on these nobodies from the Stevens family.

Compared to Shawn’s family, they were even lower–worthless enough that he could crush them with a single step.

“I heard Mr. Wright has some history with Andrew?” Christina suddenly asked.

Quinton smiled faintly. “That guy? He’s nothing more than an insect. I wouldn’t call it history–just a minor disagreement.”

His tone dripped with superiority.

In the past, Irene would have jumped at the chance to praise Quinton and trash Andrew, but this time, she hesitated.

Instead, she spoke cautiously. “Mr. Wright, you shouldn’t underestimate him. Right now, Andrew is a force to be reckoned with in Jayrodale. Even Shawn’s family and the Wellers are no match for him!”

Quinton sneered. “The families in Jayrodale are nothing more than second–rate nobodies. The Wright family rules Blumedale–we don’t fear anyone.”

Leroy chuckled, desperate to win favor. “I heard you already made a move against Moonlit Apothecary tonight, Mr. Wright. That must’ve been quite the wake–up call for Andrew!”

Quinton smirked. “It was nothing serious–just a little punishment.”

Christina frowned. “Mr. Wright, your people didn’t go after Andrew directly, did they?”

Quinton scoffed. “That guy isn’t even worth my time. I just wanted to teach him a lesson by burning down Moonlit Apothecary.”

The entire Stevens family stiffened in shock. This was the true power of the Wright family–ruthless and decisive.. Quinton did not even hesitate before targeting Moonlit Apothecary.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Quinton felt pleased with himself. It was exactly the reaction he wanted.

“Ms. Stevens, I’ve heard that running Stevens Corporation has been a struggle for you.”

“Exactly! Mr. Wright is inviting us to Blumedále!”

“This is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity! We should be thanking him for this incredible generosity!”

Hearing their urging, Christina finally made up her mind. For now, Quinton did seem like a flawless man. He had offered to help both her and the Stevens family without asking for anything in return.

She thought to herself–Quinton must have real vision. He probably saw her talent and capabilities, which was why he was willing to support her.

Just as she was about to speak and accept his offer, a bloodied figure suddenly staggered in, collapsing right in front of Quinton.

“Mr. Wright, help me! Please… help me…”

Quinton’s expression shifted. His eyes narrowed in confusion before recognition hit him. “Shawn? What the hell happened to you?”
