Chapter 44
“If it weren’t for me saying those words back then, what would have become of the Quinn family?” I stared intently at his face, tilting my head, smiling but not genuinely.
At that time, his company, Genesis Group, was preparing for listing, and the preparations had taken
two years.
And 80% of the products were represented by Cathy’s endorsing.
As soon as the truth about Cathy’s affair became apparent, the Quinn family bore the direct losses!
The company couldn’t be listed, rendering Calix’s two years of dedication useless!
Sales plummeted significantly, and Genesis Group was facing an unprecedented financial crisis!
He had been betrayed and would become the laughingstock of the entire city!
The decision made back then was truly daring, showing how deep my love for Calix was.
Calix and I stared at each other for a few seconds.
During those moments, I felt a little warmth in my heart.
So, he still knew he had benefited.
“Don’t talk nonsense, where is Karina?” Diana was afraid that Calix would be convinced by me, not contest the custody of Karina, so she quickly interjected.
After speaking, she pulled Calix again. “Brother, this woman is full of schemes, don’t let her deceive
you.”
“Exactly, Calix.” Pamela also approached, “No matter what happened in the past, now that you two are divorced, the child’s issue needs to be resolved!”
Calix’s gaze shifted according to Diana’s words.
“Anya, each has their own responsibility. In the past, when the Quinn family benefited, did you wa to divide your share? Consult with a lawyer to discuss it with me. Now, I want Karina!” he said.
Chapter 44
In his mind, even if the Quinn family had benefited, it was only because I executed my own plan.
My heart grew colder.
What had I done? How could I have expected such a heartless and cold–hearted family to show any mercy?
I was even willing to make a final effort to avoid tearing apart the relationship just for Karina’s sake.
Calix still saw me as a money–minded person, always thinking about his money!
If he had already determined me as someone who loved money, then no matter how hard I tried, it would be useless. Why waste my time?
I suppressed the feelings of despair and anger within me, and when I looked up, there was no expression on my face.
“Do you truly want to take care of Karina?” I asked.
These repetitive events had worn away Calix’s already limited patience, and his feet felt numb and painful.
Calix furrowed his cold brow, only sneering without making a sound.
Diana chuckled, “There are too many unnecessary words!”
“Don’t answer hastily, look at this first.”
After speaking, she bowed her head and made a phone call, “Come here.”
Within two minutes, a car arrived.
Fredrica stepped out of the car.
“Why did you invite Fredrica?” Seeing Fredrica. Diana immediat
This made Diana feel like a small pupper in front of me, completely powerless Her face turned dark.
Her words became even more matictons.
“Let me tell you, even if you live streamed the whole world, it would be useless) Karina is a descendant of the Quinn family, and no one can change that?”
“I advise you to be obedient, to honestly hand the child back to us. My brother can give you some money, maybe it will help you a little!”
“Hal”
Fredrica laughed out of place.
Diana, who was short sighted, only knew that the Quinn family was rich.
My money was surplus to the point where I didn’t know what to do with it. Did I need to rely on her little profit?
But Diana continued to speak incessantly, becoming even more crude. “Two million dollars, is that enough? The Chairman of Starlight Media is wealthy, but it all belongs to hìm. You can try begging him like this and ask him for help. With these two million dollars, at least you can save some face fi
yourself!TM
“We and the Quinn family don’t owe you anything either!”
After Diana finished speaking, Fredrica spoke up, “Rest assured, not only Anya but also Karina, we will make sure you have nothing to worry about.”
She took out a piece of paper and raised it in front of everyone, “This is a full authorization document. The chairman of my family has authorized me to conduct a paternity test. Take a look!
yourselves!”
“What kind of test is this?” All three of them were surprised.
Calix looked at her, not understanding.
Diana was the first to receive the test report and read it aloud.
“99.99% DNA match accuracy? Biological relationship? The person tested is Karina Olsen? Who is Karina Olsen?”
Chapter 44
“Karina is Karina,” I replied coldly.
Initially, Karina had the Quinn surname, but recently it changed to Olsen.
“So… this paternity test is between the chairman of Starlight and Karina?” Calix immediately understood, but as if a bomb exploded, he couldn’t help but shout.
Calix’s gaze became increasingly tense, turning from confusion to anger, directed straight at me!
“Yes.” I calmly replied, paying no attention to his gaze. “This paternity test is between the chairman of Starlight and Karina.”
I was not lying.
It was a test conducted using samples of my own hair and Karina’s.
“So, for the past four years, you let us raise someone else’s child?” Pamela had never suffered such
humiliation before, and her lips trembled with anger.
“Mrs. Quinn, please clarify. Karina has never used any of the family’s money.” Fredrica reminded
her.
All expenses for Karina were borne by me myself, which Fredrica understood best.
However, this also made the family very angry.
“Anya, how dare you blame someone else’s bastard on my brother! And you still have the face to si the marriage was for the benefit of the Quinn family!” Diana was so furious that she wanted to gra
me by the hair.
Fredrica simply used one hand to stop her.
“Miss Quinn, a graceful woman like you, who would dare to accept you when you act like such a despicable woman?”
“You!” Diana was so angry that her stomach was tied in knots, but she had to restrain herself.
Fredrica had considerable influence and held strong media connections. If I was unlucky and she secretly filmed and broadcasted her images nationwide, it would truly be the end.
Pamela approached again, her breath unstable, her heart racing rapidly and painfully.
Chapter 44
She could only try to maintain her image, looking at Fredrica, “Isn’t the chairman of Starlight going too far?”
“Madam, if you do not bully others, how could they possibly bully you?” Fredrica said a profoundly meaningful sentence.
“Regardless, Karina has nothing to do with the Quinn family anymore. We shouldn’t create any more trouble for the child’s future!”
After speaking, she pulled me along, “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” I followed her into the car.
When opening the car door, Fredrica looked back at Calix, “Calix, rest assured, in the future, Starlight Media will belong to Karina and also to Anya. Your couple million dollars are not enough to
stuff in her pockets. It’s better to give Diana a few more sets of nice clothes.”
“Damn it, damn it!”
Diana heard mockery in Fredrica’s words, and she became so furious that her face distorted. She shouted loudly.
She couldn’t accept this woman, Fredrica, criticizing her as if she was inferior!
Then, Diana pushed Calix, “Anya deceived us like this, should we just let it go?”
“And the chairman of Starlight Media has no grudge against us. Why should we endure humiliation
“Oh, right.” Fredrica’s voice came again, “Don’t you really feel aggrieved, didn’t Anya help your family when she married into your family?” Mr Quinn’s compensation is not used, it is written off.
After saying what needed to be said, she got into the car.
The car drove away.
Through the rearview mirror, I could still see Diana’s anger, Pamela’s shattered image, and Calix’s
unclear emotions as he clenched his fists.
Fredrica worriedly said, “This means that in the future, it will be impossible to reconcile with the Quinn family. Aren’t you regretful?”
Chapter 45
Thomas endlessly, glancing at me with her big eyes.
It was clear that she was trying to promote Thomas to me.
I understood her little scheme but pretended not to notice, gently booping her nose and saying. “Mummy has something to tell you.”
Karina reluctantly waved to Thomas, “Goodbye, Uncle Thomas.”
Fredrica felt a bit jealous and said, “Even at such a young age, she knows to be infatuated with handsome guys and forget her friends.”
Karina pouted and ran over to give Fredrica’s nose a peck. “I haven’t forgotten my godmother. See, I only kiss you like this; I’ve never kissed Uncle Thomas.”
Indeed, she reserved the kisses for her mommy.
Fredrica chuckled, feeling satisfied. She playfully returned the kisses on Karina’s little face and then nudged her gently, “Go inside with mommy now.”
I took Karina into Fredrica’s dedicated office.
I closed the door.
Settling Karina on a chair, I gently pressed her small shoulders and spoke up, “Mommy has talked things through with the Quinn family today. From now on, they won’t take you away anymore.”
“Really?” A visible relief washed over Karina’s little face.
The memories left by the Quinn family during their last encounter were too unpleasant, making he
even more resentful of them.
“Mommy, were they not bullying you?” She immediately expressed her concern.
Using her soft little hands, she gently examined my face, inspecting it from top to bottom.
In my memory, when Diana was unhappy, she would slap me.
Only when she saw no marks on my face did Karina feel at ease.
I silently watched my daughter’s every move, feeling a soft warmth in my heart.
