Chapter 468
Not too far away, Quinlee watched Ellie and Aaron hop into a car and speed off. After dismissing Yvette, she made her way
over to Alex’s car.
Noticing the bloody mess on Alex’s hand, Quinlee calmly inquired, “Mr. Warren, your hand is injured. Would you like me to accompany you to the hospital to get it bandaged?”
“You?!” Alex sneered through his nose, quickly regaining his composure.
Quinlee nodded and said, “After all, I’m your brother’s fiancée. If he were still alive, we have had married. Seeing you so upset, I can’t just stand by and do nothing. Let me take you to the hospital to get it bandaged so your parents won’t worry about you?
“Get lost!” Alex curtly interrupted Quinlee before she could finish her sentence.
“Mr. Warren,” Quinlee cautiously reached out to touch Alex’s arm, but he shoved her away.
Seeing this, Barry quickly stepped forward to stop Quinlee from getting any closer to Alex.
Quinlee was frightened by the fierce look in Alex’s eyes and instinctively stepped back a few paces.
When she saw Alex getting into the car, she stubbornly said, “I had intended to chat with you about what’s on Ellie’s mind, but since you are not interested, I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.”
Alex asked, “What did she say to you?!”
Seeing that Alex was finally willing to speak to her, Quinlee gathered the courage to approach the car. She stood by his car door while Alex was inside.
With the window down, Quinlee looked down at Alex who was sitting with his hands covered in fresh blood, cradling a purebred Maine Coon cat on his lap.
Since Quinlee wasn’t invited into the car, she had to talk to Alex from outside. She said, “There are some things I really shouldn’t say.
“But Mr. Warren, you’re so deeply in love with Ellie, yet she doesn’t even spare you a glance despite all the pain you’re enduring. I can’t stand by silently anymore and felt compelled to remind you.”
Alex lit a cigarette, his brow furrowed tightly. “Just get to the point!”
Quinlee revealed, “Actually, Ellie talked to me about you. She mentioned that her ideal marriage partner is actually her college friend, Leonard!
“Ellie told me herself that she no longer has feelings for you, and that you don’t even compare to one ten–thousandth of Leonard. Forced love never works, Mr. Warren, you really should move on!”
Seeing Alex remain silent, Quinlee thought he had taken her words to heart and felt a secret thrill. She placed her hands on the car window and went on, “Mr. Warren, don’t be fooled by Ellie’s pretty face and sweet demeanor.
“She’s actually very manipulative and skilled at controlling men. She has many sides to her, but she just puts on an innocent act around you–you just haven’t noticed yet.”
Alex gave Quinlee a sidelong glance with an emotionless face. The next second, he crushed the burning cigarette hard onto the back of Quinlee’s hand.
“Ah!” Quinlee screamed in agony and yanked her hand back desperately. She stared at Alex in disbelief, her face pale, and exclaimed, “You!”

Alex’s eyes were cold and menacing as he warned. “If you dare talk badly about Ellie again, I’ll personally send you to reunite with my brother!”
Quinlee clutched her burned hand and stumbled back in fear. Her eyes were filled with rage as she watched Alex’s car drive away, her gaze burning with hatred.
She only said a couple of things about Ellie, and Alex ignored her status as his brother’s fiancée and burned her with a cigarette. Quinlee barely managed to stay upright, her entire arm shaking uncontrollably from the pain.
