She asked, "You mentioned before about leaving no loose ends. Surely, you have a plan, right?"
Norman sighed at her words.
"That was before."
"Quentin could find a new partner in a heartbeat. Christine isn't the only one capable. Even if we quietly did something, Quentin
wouldn't openly confront us."
"Quentin could, if I'm not mistaken, he owes Dailey a favor."
Jayne was taken aback, "When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"
Norman raised a hand to pat her shoulder. "Calm down for a moment."
"My memory's a bit hazy, not entirely sure."
"It seems Quentin's wife was filming wildlife in a remote area and ran into trouble with some unsavory characters. Dailey was
training nearby and ran into her."
Jayne tried to recall Dailey's training schedule. "Back then, wasn't his wife still a student?"
"And she wasn't his wife at the time."
"But she is now."
Norman gently guided Jayne to sit on the edge of the bed. "And Quentin's genuinely invested now."
Jayne pounded the pillow in frustration, "What a mess."
"It's all your fault."
"If you hadn't insisted that Libby could keep Dailey away from Christine, I wouldn't have gone along with it. I should have "

"Stop it," Norman interrupted. "It's pointless to say anything now."
Indeed.

Nothing could change the past.
Jayne could only hope their differences would separate them eventually.
...
Dailey draped his suit jacket over Christine's shoulders, casting a cold glance around.
Those who had been eyeing Christine awkwardly averted their gaze.
He had been a big help today, and Christine didn't continue to oppose him.
After Quentin finished socializing, he invited Dailey upstairs.
The scene upstairs was an entirely different atmosphere.
In contrast to the elegantly
deed banquet hall below, the et
was a large entertainment

area.
In a private room, several tables were set up, and some people were already playing poker.
Christine glanced around, noticing the high stakes.
The people here were likely Quentin's close friends and partners-wealthy and influential.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Quentin spoke, and the room instantly fell silent.
Christine couldn't help but be impressed.
This was the power of a leader.

"Dailey's brought his wife today, so

don't let
often
im off easy. It's not you get a chance to win money from him."
Christine retracted her earlier admiration.
No matter how impressive a man is, he still acts childishly with his friends.
"Well, well," a woman approached, eyeing Christine, "this is something new."
"I thought I'd never see Mr. Clarkson settle down before I died."
Dailey shot back, "You could die sooner and miss it."
The woman tightened her fist and
said to
Some, "Sister-in-law, į
can love him, you're quite
over you
something."
Christine could only smile politely, unable to voice her thoughts.
Dailey introduced her, "Hannah Hawthorne, from The Hawthornes, Quentin's cousin."
"Hello."
Christine shook her hand, "Pleasure to meet you."
Hannah quickly led her away, "Let's have the sister-in-law join us girls. You and Quentin can play."
Dailey followed her over and stood by the poker table where Christine sat.

Those seated quickly made room, understanding the situation.
Quentin rolled up his sleeves and sat down, teasing for once, "You're guarding her too closely."
Dailey replied coolly, "Unlike you, who vanishes without a trace."
