CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 420: THE AGONY OF GUILT

The Quinn Family doesn’t only have one elder brother, there is also his second son.

"Do you plan on letting this continue indefinitely? Just waiting for the police to come knocking."

"Since we made a mistake back then, we have to pay the price. We’ve been living a good life for five years now. Do you think this will last much longer?"

For the past five years, Tom Quinn has been living in pain... Every night he wakes up feeling guilty, and he can’t remember the last time he had a good, peaceful night’s sleep...

Perhaps only by truly paying the price can he start living a good life.

At least his heart won’t have that shred of guilt anymore.

When his elder brother was alive, he thought that once his brother was gone, he would shine brighter. But after he struggled to get rid of his brother, he realized his days remained unchanged; the company only declined under his management, never improved...

Everyone in the Quinn Family talked about Tom Quinn... saying he wasn’t as competent as his elder brother, claiming it was really unfortunate that the person died during their most glorious times.

Whenever he heard such comments, his body trembled uncontrollably.

Why can’t these people see his shining points?

The man wore a hint of a helpless smile on his lips, his cold face bearing a strong scorn and unwillingness.

Amanda Warren stood stunned, although she was always the daughter-in-law of the family and on equal footing with Tom Quinn, whenever he was truly angry, Amanda never dared to argue back...

But today it already involved her own interests, watching Tom Quinn sitting there, she grew increasingly angry.

"You are completely not as good as your elder brother, you completely can’t fight for your own interests."

Tom Quinn slowly lifted his head, looking at the woman in front of him with a cold smile on his lips: "So in your eyes, I’m also someone worthless, if that’s the case, let’s go down together."

The man suddenly picked up the coat beside him, Silas Shaw’s silhouette slowly walked out of the villa.

Seething with anger, Amanda Warren stomped her foot fiercely.

Looking at Tom Quinn’s disappointing back, she grew more and more furious, she absolutely would not sit idly by... she definitely wouldn’t just let this matter develop unchecked.

...

Old Mrs. Quinn returned to her room, collapsed powerlessly onto the floor; the past years replayed constantly before her eyes, though her second son seemed worthless, since he took over the family, he was still very filial to her, and both sons are her children, how could she treat them differently?

Old Mrs. Quinn’s gaze carried a sense of guilt, fearing these were all mistakes she had made before...

If only she’d handled the mindset of her second son properly, he wouldn’t have made those mistakes back then.

If she truly stood by, watching Tom Quinn go to prison, even she couldn’t bear it.

After all, there aren’t many people left in this family now, if both Tom Quinn and Amanda Warren went to prison, the family would truly fall apart.

The elderly woman sighed, leaning on her cane, she slowly walked out of the villa.

All she could do now was hope Sienna Quinn would listen to her words... could put all the hatred aside... but always thinking the guilty should pay the price. Can this bone-deep hatred really be put aside falsely?

...

The police station.

The weather was pleasant, the sky was high and the clouds were light. Sienna Quinn stretched out a hand, feeling the breeze slip between her fingers. She’d been standing here for more than half a two-hour period, but couldn’t bring herself to go inside...

She shook her head weakly, turned around, and left the police station.

When she finally obtained all the evidence, ready to make those two pay, a slight hesitation crept in...

Though the two didn’t consider family ties, Sienna Quinn’s heart still wasn’t that hard.

But can the death of her parents really just pass like this?

Some hatred, some prices, ultimately must be paid.

Sienna Quinn returned home, boringly looking at the almost packed luggage, shook her head with a trace of helplessness, an unnoticed trace of resignation flickered in her eyes.

Even though Landon Lawson tried to change this time, it still didn’t alter the outcome between them.

Five years ago she left silently, five years later she repeated the cycle, letting Sienna Quinn know they ultimately weren’t meant to be.

Suddenly a rapid ringtone interrupted her thoughts.

She glanced at the caller ID, furrowing her brow slightly.

Why would Vera Yates suddenly call her? During these days, he was busy handling matters between Landon Lawson and the Quinn Family, and had completely discarded Vera’s issues...

Sienna’s green fingers gently pressed the phone to answer, her voice somewhat cold: "What do you want from me?"

"I want to talk to you."

"I think our relationship isn’t at the talking stage."

The woman’s mouth bore deep sarcasm, her voice grew increasingly cold, the pretty face held strong resentment, even now she couldn’t forget the past life’s pain.

Even after all this time, she still hadn’t forgotten the harm caused...

This malicious woman certainly must pay the price...

"I want to talk to you about Landon Lawson."

"I have nothing to do with her now, I fear even if you want to talk, it’s irrelevant to me."

Sienna Quinn just wanted to hang up, but urgent words came through the phone, causing a furrow of her brow.

"I know his current crisis!"

"What are you saying?"

Sienna Quinn’s brow slightly furrowed, she always wanted to understand Axel Yates’ words before, and was told by her that Landon Lawson was in some crisis now.

But what exactly happened? Even Sienna didn’t know and couldn’t know...

But now there was finally a lock to open everything, he had to find out clearly.

Even if Sienna wanted to act as if she didn’t care, upon hearing news of Landon Lawson, she couldn’t control her heart...

Vera Yates’ voice came through the phone, accompanied by her smirk.

"I knew you would care about what’s happening to Landon Lawson, even if you pretend, you can’t hide your true heart."

Vera’s snide voice came through the phone, Sienna Quinn furrowed her brow.

"It seems you don’t sincerely mean to talk, I reckon... that’s enough then."
