Female Novel
Chapter 960
Lying in her hospital bed, Quincy looked up at her biological father with a mix of emotions.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, have I ever made you wonder if I'm really your daughter?"
"Cut the nonsense! Do you know that the Lopez family have withdrawn their funding because ofyour disappearance? Without that money to fill up this hole, decades of my hard work will go downthe drain!" Ronin was so agitated that he paced the room. "And after all, haven't you alreadyagreed? Didn't we have an understanding? Once you've established yourself within the Lopezfamily, you can do whatever you want. I just beg you to do one thing for the benefit of our family!"
Ronin was completely blindsided when he received a call from Jonathan. After all, the fate of theirfamily was tightly gripped in Jonathan's hands.
"One thing? You've ruined my life!" Quincy couldn't understand how her parents could so casuallydecide her fate in a family alliance via marriage.
This was about marriage, a commitment for life!
"What have I ruined? Is marrying into the Lopez family beneath you?" he asked.
"I have no feelings for Everett!"
Ronin almost laughed in frustration, "Why do you need feelings? Money and power are what trulymatter in the world. What's the use of feelings? When you're down and out, love is nothing but ajoke!"novelbin
"That's only what you believe," Quincy pulled her lips. "You want to give the whole family away toyour son, I don't mind. I never wanted anything from our family's fortune, but you're determined to
sabotage my chance at happiness!"
"Quincy!" Ronin's voice was stern. "Being born and raised in our family, don't you think you've spenta dime of its money? You think you're above it all and think you are chasing some fairy tale of love?Let me tell you, that’s utterly impossible! If only you hadn't been born into privilege, if only you hadn'tenjoyed the life of a lady in our family!"
Raising a child to become a doctor was so expensive. From university tuition to independentresearch labs and hiring renowned medical mentors... It's not something an average family couldafford!
Ronin had thought that if the family fortune couldn't go to his daughter, at least she could chooseher own career path as long as it didn't threaten his son's inheritance.
"You could've just not had me. A son would have been enough." Quincy knew what her father wasabout to say. He had used the same reasoning before.
"Quick, go make the call to Jonathan. If the funding is pulled, then our family is really finished!"Ronin had no patience for argument now; the calls demanding money were nearly bombarding hisphone.
"I'll make the call, but on one condition." Quincy closed her eyes, knowing she was giving her fatherone last chance he hadn't cherished.
It didn't matter. He had never truly cared for his daughter.
"What's your condition?" Ronin asked impulsively.
"After the Lopez family funds ours this time, I will have nothing to do with our family anymore. I’verepaid every penny you've ever spent on me!"
"Your life was given by your mother and me. How can you repay that?" Ronin, almost reflexively,tried to negotiate.
After all, if his daughter truly married into the Lopez family, that... that would be immenselybeneficial in the future.
