"Spill it, what do you want in exchange for the antidote?" Everett was certain that the grand gesture Quincy made against Dorothy wasn't going to end with the antidote being easily handed over, especially not after she had been forcibly brought here by his people.

The antidote in that suitcase was either a fake, or... it wasn't the whole thing.

"I want you to agree to marry me." Quincy's voice was soft when she said it, but her determination was crystal clear without a hint of hesitation.

She used to feel like a small boat adrift at sea, unnoticed and uncared for in terms of her thoughts and well-being. But now, things were different.

Controlling Dorothy meant having Everett at her mercy! Everything was within her grasp.

"That's impossible." Everett's response was just as firm, "If this is about your family's need for funding for that acquisition project, I can provide the funds, and I promise you won't have to go through my father in the future." He didn't want to burn bridges with Quincy. Getting the antidote for Dorothy was his priority! Of course, that was only if Quincy was willing to negotiate.

"If I just needed money to save my family, Mr. Lopez, I wouldn't bother involving your precious Dorothy." Quincy maintained her innocent and gentle facade, smiling, "Becoming Mrs. Lopez givesa title that freesfrom being manipulated." Especially by her own parents! Otherwise, if they failed to let her marry Everett, they would force her to marry into other families. They wouldn't stop morally blackmailing her as long as they saw value in her.

"Quincy, I'm giving you a chance to negotiate, but don't mistake it for patience." His words were a naked threat.

But Quincy just shrugged, her tone calm, "Right now, Ms. Sanchez's lifeand mine are tied together. Unless you no longer care for her, Mr. Lopez, your threats... mean nothing to me. Because if anything happens to me, then no one in this world will be able to save Ms. Sanchez. She must suffer with me." Everett's mistake was showing his love too openly and making it clear to anyone who cclose! Having a loved one was his Achilles' heel. If there was anyone to blame, it was Dorothy for being too trusting and becoming Everett's weakness, thus allowing others to exploit him.

At that moment, Kevin returned with Quincy's suitcase and handed it to Mr. Lopez.

"Mr. Lopez, there's a small box inside." He handed it over to Everett.

He had guessed right - this antidote wasn't everything.

Everett, holding the box, his handsface darkened, "And after that month?" "Then, it'll depend on whether you are willing to secure the antidote for the next month, Mr. Lopez." This was the only ace up her sleeve after all these years with her family. When she developed this drug, she thought if her parents forced her into marrying sold geezer, she'd use it on her father.
