136 Ch. 136 Andrew Heinest
After giving the antidote that Kirena had tested, the poison expert let Anxia lie down to accompany her daughter to sleep. Then Kirena came out to meet her husband and Richard, who was still talking.
The last time they met Richard was when they attended Raymondâs wedding in Philadelphia, USA. That means they havenât seen each other for five years, and suddenly they meet the young manâs wife and child?
Alexander and Kirena would only appear when they receive an invitation to the Alvianc familyâs wedding and return to exile to an untraceable place.
Because of that, they were shocked and could not believe that Richard, who loved to travel all over the place, finally decided to settle down.
But... why didnât Kirena see the ring on Anxiaâs finger?
âRichard, is it true youâre married?â Kirena asked in curiosity. âOr maybe, youâre just playing to make Quinn give up on chasing you.â
âI am already married. Why would I use a woman to reject Quinn?â
âThen why didnât I see your wedding rings?â
âAh, thatâ¦â Richard scratched his head as he felt stupid for forgetting this essential part.
.....
At that time, he was in a hurry to make Anxia marry him without considering proposing romantically or putting on an engagement ring. And the most crucial part was that, at that time, they married not out of love.
After they sorted out master Yuâs issue and found Loraine Shu, Richard planned to propose to his wife again, and this time, he would make a lavish and grand wedding.
As for the ring⦠Richard had to buy a ring first, nevertheless.
âI had forgotten about it when she agreed to marry me.â
âYou made her agree to marry you?â Alex was astonished by this unique answer. âYou mean you forced her?â
Richard cleared his throat awkwardly at Alexâs precise guess.
âArenât you guys tired? There is still time to sleep before sunrise. Iâll hit the sack first.â Richard escaped from the probing gazes of Kinsey Alviancâs former right-hand man.
âUnbelievable! I thought they got married because that girl set him up, but itâs the other way around?â
Kirena chuckled, hearing her husbandâs tone filled with curiosity.
âDonât you notice? The grown-up boy is already deeply in love.â
âNow the boys had settled down; I wondered when Harmonieâs time would be. It would be interesting if sheâs got a partner from the eastern continent, too.â
âYou know Harmonie is engaged to a handsome man from Switzerland.â
âIâm just having fun. So what poison did Leonâs daughter give the poor baby? Donât tell me...â
Kirena sighed sadly as she continued her husbandâs guess. âYou guess it right. Quinn used my homemade potion. Luckily, the dose was small that the poison would only become active twenty-four hours after consumption. I canât believe she used my creation on a child.â
âHow did she get your poison?â
âI recalled selling some harmless poison to her brother. He said he wanted to do experiments on wild animals that always prey on the farm areas in England, and the âdead silentâ was one of them.â
âThat means she got it from her brother.â
âAre you going to let Richard know? Richardâs relationship with Quinn is damaged, but Richard still values ??Andrew as a friend. Would Richard still value Andrew if he knew that Andrew gave the poison to Quinn?â
âThatâs their business, not ours. Even if we donât tell him, sooner or later, he will find out. In this regard, he was quite astute as his father. You donât need to worry.â
âIf you say so.â

After someone brought Quinn to a house in Strasbourg, a doctor and nurse came to treat minor wounds all over Quinnâs body. The cunning lady couldnât stop crying when she felt pain all over her body. Even when the doctor injected painkillers, Quinn was still crying.
Quinn might not feel the pain in her wound, but she felt pain in her heart. She had never been humiliated or tied up in all her life. Let alone hung upside down as that damn woman did to her.
She felt humiliated, and her pride trampled as if she had no value. Especially when she saw Richard kissing Anxia tenderly without minding her, it made Quinn feel a tremendous emotion inside her: hatred.
Quinn no longer likes Richard. She became resentful of that man and wanted to avenge all their treatment of her. Her cries became increasingly remembering everything that happened in the unfamiliar warehouse. She was mortified, felt like she was stripped naked, and could not do anything about it.
She wanted to pour out all her frustrations and irritations for the night. Because after this, Quinn would devise a plan to outsmart the two people and pay them back ten times fold.
Thatâs why her tears still havenât stopped flowing even though Andrew, her older brother, has come to this city to see her condition.
From the beginning, Andrew did not like seeing his sister, who likes to manipulate people with her sweet and gentle mood. But she still cherishes his sister even though Quinnâs demeanor is outrageous.
When he heard from Richard that his sister was in Paris with a body covered in wounds and tied up, he immediately sent a confidant near Paris to pick her up. After that, he immediately got up and took off on his private plane to France, not caring if there was a meeting with shareholders tomorrow morning.
As soon as he arrived at a large, classic model house, Andrew didnât wait for the driver to open the car door and got down and went straight into the house.
âLord Heinest,â greeted the butler who worked in this house.
âWhereâs my sister?â
âThe lady is in her room and still crying.â
Without responding to the butlerâs report, Andrew sprinted and jumped several steps at once to go to the second floor. His steps quickened when he heard the sound of his sister crying. As soon as the door opened, his heart felt like someone had stabbed him with a knife when he saw his sisterâs deplorable condition.
âQuinny.â
Quinn glanced at her brother with eyes filled with tears.
âBrother⦠Huwaaaaa⦠brotherâ¦â
Andrew immediately approached his brother and hugged his neck tightly.
âShhh. I am here. Donât cry.â
âI hate Richard! I hate him! He tied me up and wounded me. Heâs the one who hung me upside down!!â
Richard? The one who had given him the news that someone had tied up and injured his sister? If Richard was the real culprit, why was the man telling him?
And again, why did Richard hurt his sister?
âShhh. Are you sure it was Richard?â
âBrother, donât you believe me?â
âOkay. I will talk to him and give him a lesson. How could he hurt you?â Andrew tightened his embrace to comfort his crying sister. âDonât cry anymore, okay? I wonât let anyone, even Richard, off the hook after they hurt you.â Andrew consoled her with comforting words while patting his sisterâs back gently.
Little did he know, a crooked smile was printed perfectly on Quinnâs face because she had succeeded in making Andrew detest Richard.
