"translate_text": "\"You really don't trust me, huh? Well, why don't you go talk to the Lopez family then? Thought you said you were tight with Jonathan? Go ahead, have his son marry her.\"

\"...\"

Quincy snorted coldly. \"Let me make this crystal clear one last time. Go back and tell Simeon to stop eyeing me. I've got Everett looking out for me now. You might think I'm easy to push around, but trust me, you don't want to mess with him!\"

\"Oh, please. Everett doesn't even want to marry you. How's he supposed to protect you?\"

\"Didn't Simeon tell you? The guys who rescued me from him last time were sent by Everett.\" Ronin had heard, but he didn't believe it.

No way Everett felt anything for his daughter! Why would he send people to rescue her?

The Caldwell family, father and son, figured Quincy was just putting on a show!

\"You don't believe me?\"

Quincy let out a chuckle and turned back to grab her phone.

\"I'll call Everett right now, and you can hear it for yourself. That'll make you believe.\"

\"You're in touch with him privately?\" Ronin was still in the dark about how exactly his daughter planned to prove her point, but he was surprised that Quincy actually had Everett's personal number and seemed so confident.

"You'll recognize his voice, won't you?\"

Ronin nodded. \"I will.\"

\"That's all we need.\"

The next second, Quincy pressed Everett's number.

The call went through.

After a few rings, nobody picked up.

Ronin raised an eyebrow, sensing a drama unfolding.

Quincy, however, remained calm, just staring at the screen, waiting for the other party to pick up.

\"Everett's a busy man,\" Ronin said with a smirk, just as the call got connected!

A deep, cold voice came through.

\"Speak.\"

It was indeed Everett!

Quincy smiled, then her expression changed as she began to speak in a whimpering voice, \"Mr. Lopez, my dad's bothering me again, trying to take me away! I'm in the lab working on a project! Please come save me, or else I'll-mmph! Mmph mmph!\"

She hadn't finished speaking when she covered her mouth, pretending to be abducted!

Then Quincy hung up the phone.

Throughout, Ronin listened, dumbfounded.

It took him a moment to snap back to reality.

\"Quincy, are you trying to get me killed?!\"

\"You wanted proof, didn't you? Well, I'm giving it to you,\" Quincy shrugged. \"Just wait till Everett's people show up, then you'll see where I stand.\"

It was a win-win for her.

Not only could she make the Caldwell family wary of underestimating her, but she also reinforced the idea to Everett that she was at odds with her own family. This way, even if the Caldwell family did something outrageous in the future, she could easily distance herself from them.

Having the Caldwell family as her

family felt like a ticking time bomb to

Quincy She needed to make her

stance clear to avoid any

unnecessary trouble because of

\"You're insane! How does this benefit you? If Everett has me arrested, I swear I'll make you pay! I'll tell him you've been scheming against him all along!\"

\"You can tell him. It doesn't matter

to me.\" Quincy smiled. \"A person who comes to harass me and speaks it of me, do you think he'l believe you? Besides... you didn't believe he'd come to save me, did you?\"

\"I believe it! I believe it, okay? Just make him stop!\"

Ronin was more afraid of Everett than he was of Jonathan!"
