Chapter 98
“Zoe was right about you! You’re just a cheap woman who’d do anything for money!” Caleb snarled at Cluinn, ignoring Melody’s sudden entrance.
Quinn’s face stung from the slap, and she tasted blood in her mouth. Melody, shocked by Caleb’s actions, intervened furiously.
“Caleb, what kind of man are you? How could you even hit a woman?” She pushed him away and quickly led Quinn out of the room
quinn was dazed from the slap, following Melody like a lifeless doll as they left the private dining room
Outside, Melody apologiand profusely, “Quinn, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. Caleb called me this afternoon and asked me to invite you. I thought he wanted to make amends, so agreed to help him trick you into coming. If I had known he’d do this, I never would have helped him.”
As they walked, Quin spotted a fambar tigure surrounded by men in suits by the elevators. When the elevator arrived, one of the suited men said, “Mr. Sutton, the elevator’s here.”
Cameron looked up and replied, “You go ahead.”

Quinn instinctively covered her injured cheek, shaking her head Cameron let out a cold chuckle and gripped her swollen face with his long fingers, causing her to wince in pain.
“Why didn’t you fight back?” he asked icily, releasing her face.
“Huh?” Quinn was caught off guard, trying to understand his words.
“Or is it that you still care for him? Cameron’s eyes glinted with a chill as he spoke.
Quion delt her heart clench at his words. She turned and strode back toward the private room without a second thought.
Inside, Caleb was stil there. The server had brought some drinks, and he was slumped in a chair, drinking alone. When he heard footsteps, he looked up, his face briefly lighting up at the sight of Quim before darkening again
“What are you doing back here?” he glared at her. His anger was still palpable
