GoodRead"Spit it out, will you? I'm swamped here." Quincy didn't even bother to turn around, let alone invite him inside for a chat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe just blocked Ronin at the doorstep. The aloofness on her face was unmistakable, not a hint of wanting to engage in further conversation.
"Quincy! Still holding a grudge, huh?" Ronin was somewhat aware of his daughter's temperament, especially after he had unilaterally decided to marry her off to the Lopezes, he knew he was in the wrong. So now, Ronin was swallowing his pride, trying to wear a smile, "Con, you're not seriously thinking about cutting ties? Disowning your mom and dad?" "Didn't we settle this already?" "That was said in the heat of the moment! Blood ties can't just be cut off." Quincy almost laughed out of frustration.
So, he was coming around now that Everett was willing to back her, thinking she still had sutility left, huh? "Letmake it clear today, you'd better agree to cut ties and stop bothering me! Otherwise... if something happens toone day, the Lopezes won't spare you either." Quincy hadn't told her father about poisoning Dorothy, mainly because she knew just how greedy he could be! If he found out he could use the antidote to control Everett, who knows how much money he would demand from the Lopezes.
Though her actions were underhanded, she wasn't driven by greed. She just wanted her freedom.

"Fine, just don't cback with complaints later." Quincy paused, then spoke coldly, "And I won't be asking Everett for money on your behalf anymore, not a penny! You'd best drop that idea." Ronin waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry! I understand your situation! Just got acquainted with Everett and already asked for a hefty sum, can't keep asking for more!" Truly, the very picture of a businessman. Everything had to be maximized for profit, even the value of his own daughter had to be clearly assessed.
"Quincy, you living in a hotel makes it seem like our family don't care for you! It'll make it hard for you to hold your head up in front of Everett! dup Look, thave a villa in Eldorria City, move in there, consider it a wedding gift from your dad." He then pulled out a set of keys and offered them.
Quincy didn't accept them. She just smiled, "Aren't you saving that villa for your precious son?" "...If you want the villa, I can transfer it to your nright away!" In other words, he hadn't thought of doing so until Quincy called him out, leaving him a bit embarrassed.
"I don't want it, and I'm not keen on your villa! Keep the family's wealth for your son, so you don't end up complaining about how much raising a daughter cost you! I'm fine in the hotel, don't trouble yourself! Anything else?" If not, she was going to close the door.
Ronin frowned. He wasn't known for his patience, and being repeatedly mocked by his own daughter was testing him. But for the sake of using her as a bridge to the Lopezes, he had to bear it! "Quincy! Dad just thought, marrying into the Lopezes, you'd have everything and wouldn't care about a villa. If you like it, I can transfer it to you right away! I just didn't think it through earlier."
