Ronan quickly got in touch with the Young Master of the Quincy Family. He arranged to et him at the restaurant, but he said that seeing him was fine too; he didn’t want to et too many people at once.
That ant only Eleanor Sterling could show up.
Ronan was naturally uneasy, but Eleanor said she’s pregnant now, so why would she be afraid he might harm her?
In the end, under Eleanor’s insistence, Ronan agreed.
He stationed people at the restaurant entrance, ready to await Eleanor’s command at any ti.
The Young Master of the Quincy Family was nad Evan Quincy. He was still very young, looking about Eleanor’s age, with a delicate and harmless appearance, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
He was sitting in a booth, waiting for Eleanor to co over.
Eleanor entered through the door, guided by the waiter to the booth’s location. When she saw the Family Head of the Quincy Family sitting there, her face showed a surprised expression.
"Thomas Quincy!"
Eleanor froze, not expecting that the Family Head was soone she knew, and soone she had a grudge against.
What a small world indeed.
Evan raised his head and looked coldly at Eleanor, "Ha, so you’re Eleanor Sterling, you actually deceived !"
Uh...
Seeing his teeth-gnashing expression, Eleanor’s deanor was slightly embarrassed.
She had used a pseudonym at the ti, never expecting to et him in such a way now.
For a mont, Eleanor didn’t know what to say.
Through the earpiece, Ronan’s anxious voice asked, "Isn’t the Family Head of the Quincy Family called Evan? What’s happening? Is there an ergency? Do we need to send soone in to help imdiately?"
Eleanor snapped back to reality and then lightly coughed twice.
This was their agreed signal, aning no assistance was needed.
She sat down in the booth.
Eleanor never thought she would encounter Thomas Quincy. To explain the whole story would take ti. She had so past enmity with him.
Previously, she often published potions on behalf of Clara Thornton. Once she t Thomas Quincy and pointed out that his potion had a component that posed a risk, causing him to lose his qualification to publish it.
Later, Thomas bore a grudge against Eleanor, ordered his n to kidnap her to teach her a lesson, but Eleanor escaped.
She was so upset that she sneaked into Thomas’s hotel, subdued him, and got soone to take many sensational photos, warning him that if he dared to act against her again, she would release the photos and make him unable to show his face.
Afterwards, Thomas never bothered her again, and Eleanor forgot about the matter.
What Eleanor didn’t know was that Thomas felt deeply humiliated at the ti. He wanted to capture this woman who had shad him and give her a harsh lesson to show her how wrong she was.
The Quincy Family urgently called him back, and he had to leave, planning to find Eleanor later.
Unexpectedly, he could never find Eleanor again. He thought she was good at disguising herself, never realizing she had used a fake na.
The Quincy Family had always isolated itself from the outside world. Thomas also secretly ran out, and after being discovered, he was kept confined.
It wasn’t until he inherited the position and beca the Family Head that he had relative freedom.
And then he encountered Eleanor, the woman who had beco his obsession, the woman he dreamt of countless tis.
Eleanor saw Thomas glaring at her, his expression full of resentnt, so she broke the silence first.
"Do you have top-notch poison? I heard your family’s ’Scarlet Prelude’ is a world-famous venom. May I borrow it? I will surely repay you soday."
Thomas let out a scornful laugh, "You ask for my family’s legendary poison right off the bat, such audacity. It’s not impossible to give it to you..."
His eyes were deep as he looked at Eleanor and said, "Beco the Family Head’s wife of the Quincy Family, and the Scarlet Prelude is yours for the taking."
