Chapter 1386 - 1425: Edward Quinn’s Fury

As one of the people directly involved in this incident, Mabel Quinn naturally also went to the police station to give a statement. But compared to the investigation needed for Alessia Quinn, things were much simpler on her side. After recording her statement, she left the station and went back to the Quinn Family home.

"Why are you back so late today?" In the Quinn residence, Edward Quinn asked. Originally, he had wanted his granddaughter to have dinner first, while he waited for his daughter to come back so they could eat together. But the little one insisted on waiting to eat with Mabel, so the grandfather and granddaughter ended up waiting together.

"Sorry, something came up with the crew and delayed me a bit." Mabel quickly said, then picked up her daughter and kissed her, before flashing a smile at her father.

After the three of them finished dinner, Edward Quinn asked a servant to take the little one to play for a while. Only then did he say to Mabel, "Something happened today, didn’t it? You’ve got something you want to tell me, right?"

Mabel nodded and told him what had happened with Alessia Quinn’s setup today. At first she had only suspected it, but when a whole group of people showed up in the lounge and Alessia jumped out anxiously to accuse her, she was almost certain this had been Alessia’s doing.

Just thinking about what had happened in the lounge today still left her shaken. If it hadn’t been for Atlas Shaw’s willpower, if it hadn’t been for her knowing a way to chop him unconscious, if it hadn’t been for Kyle Kinston arranging two Bodyguards for her before he left... then things might never have unfolded the way she wanted.

She thought of how, after knocking Atlas Shaw out, she’d covered him with the blanket usually kept in the lounge for naps to conceal the changes in his body, then called Kyle and briefly explained what had happened. Kyle had then said, "In that case, switch to a video call right now."

"Video?" She’d been stunned for a moment. "You... uh, are you worried about something?" She’d thought he was afraid she and Atlas might cross some line and wanted to see for himself via video to confirm.

But he had replied, "It’s so others can feel more at ease. If you’re in the room on a video call with me, what else could you be doing? Even if someone really wants to catch you on something, they won’t be able to."

And facts proved he was right. When everyone heard that she had been on a video call with Kyle the whole time, even those who had doubts ended up letting it go.

At that moment, when she saw his face appear on her phone screen, somehow, the tension she’d been holding in her chest suddenly eased.

It was then that she realized he could make her feel this secure.

"What about him?" Kyle Kinston asked in the video call. The "him" he meant was, of course, Atlas Shaw.

So she turned the camera toward Atlas Shaw lying on the floor, covered with the blanket.

"I was careless," he said. "I’ll take care of the rest. Since they’ve already made a move, it’s about time we dragged them out into the open."

And what followed proved that Kyle Kinston had indeed arranged everything very well. Even if Alessia Quinn wanted to fling dirt at her, she couldn’t make it stick.

Only, Mabel wasn’t planning to just let Alessia Quinn off like this. If she let Alessia run wild, if it didn’t work this time, there would probably be a next. If people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them. But if they do, I’ll make sure they pay it back.
