Lily replied with gentle understanding. “I understand. We both had good intentions. We just had different ways of protecting her. How could that be wrong? Yunice is young and impulsive. As her family, aren’t we all just trying to set her on the right path?”
Owen lowered his head slowly, confused again.
to Elster
Perhaps I had misunderstood Mom. If she hadn’t acted quickly that day, who knew what Yunice might have done to Elst
If anything had happened to Elsie, Yunice would have ended up in jail.
Owen was sure of that and looked up to apologize to Lily. “Mom, I’m sorry. I wronged you.”
Lily wiped away her tears and smiled with satisfaction.
Just then, Owen received a phone call from Elsie.
Whatever she said, it obviously shocked him. “What?”

He hung up and didn’t even look at the cemetery. His expression became serious. “Mom, we have to go home.”
At the Saunders residence, Giana had been waiting at the door since early morning.
As soon as Owen and Elsie got out of the car, she ran over to report, “Quinton came by with a bunch of presents. He doesn’t look like he’s here to cause trouble.”
Not here to cause trouble!
Last time, Quinton had kidnapped Yunice, and Owen had beaten him up, only to end up in the police station himself.
After that, both sides ended the business relationship on bad terms.
Now he suddenly shows up with gifts!
Elsie’s eyes lit up with excitement. “He must regret ending our partnership!”
Owen wasn’t so sure. Quinton had no shortage of business associates. Would he really humble himself just for a deal?
However, besides, he had no reason to come
Owen gave instructions, “Even if he regrets it, we can’t agree so easily. He has to know that the Saunders family has pride.”
Elsie nodded. “Exactly! Just tell him that we’ve already found a new partner. If he wants to work with us again, he’ll have to
offer better terms.
Lily looked at them both so determined and confident and nodded in agreement.
They entered the house to find Quinton indeed inside, along with a spread of neatly arranged gifts.
Exactly ten boxes, no more, no less. All left wide open on the table, as if he was afraid no one would notice how sincere he
was
Elsie’s eyes sparkled. Forget about the other luxury items; just the emerald–green jadeite bracelet and the premium ginseng were enough to win her heart.
Owen‘
Owen’s face turned cold. “Giana, who let a kidnapper into our house? Take his things and show him the door!”
Quinton put his hand on the gift boxes and sneered. “Is that all you have, Mr. Owen?”
Owen crossed his legs as he sat on the opposite couch. “If I really had no tolerance, I’d have thrown you and your junk out by
now.”

The muscles in Quinton’s jaw twitched, but he held himself back.
Seeing that only confirmed to Owen that Quinton needed something from them.
Sure enough, Quinton said casually, “I don’t see Ms. Saunders around.”

Elsie was about to respond, thinking he meant her, but Quinton looked at her and added, “I meant the real Ms. Saunders”
Elsie’s face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes reddened with sorrow as she looked to Owen for support.
Owen immediately stood up for her. “Don’t act like you know our family. She is my biological sister. She is the real Ms. Saunders.
Quinton scoffed and tugged at his suit. What a waste of time talking to these idiots.
“I heard Yunice was getting married. These are my wedding presents for her. Please pass them on. With that, Quinton got up and turned to leave.
Owen waited a moment, but when he saw that Quinton had no intention of staying, he jumped up. “You came all this way just for that?”
Quinton had already gotten into his car when Owen shouted angrily. “We don’t want your stuff. Take it back!”
He grabbed the gift boxes and stormed toward the car, ready to throw them in.
Quinton rolled down the window. “These presents are for Yunice. If she wants to refuse them, that’s her choice, not yours.”
Elsie quickly stopped Owen. “Owen, maybe Mr. Quinton is Yunice’s friend. Why don’t we wait for her to make up her mind?”
Owen hesitated for a second. But by then Quinton had already rolled up the window and driven away.
As he carried the boxes back into the living room, Owen was still furious when he called Yunice.
I can’t understand why Quinton was trying to win Yunice over instead of me.
But like so many times before, the call went unanswered, as if it had fallen into a bottomless pit
Meanwhile, Elsie and Lily stood in front of the gifts, marveling at the extravagant offerings.
Quinton was rich, and he sent nothing ordinary.
Aside from the rare wild ginseng as thick as two thumbs, the most eye–catching item was the emerald–green jadeite bracelet.
