The Day I Kissed An Older Man

At that moment, a young man carrying a wine glass approached Quinn and asked her if she was alright.

With one hand still on her chest, Quinn quickly changed her expression and answered, "I'm fine. Did I startle you?"

"Not really, but you do seem uncomfortable," he replied.

The two engaged in conversation seamlessly, while Beatrice remained hidden in the blind spot, waiting for Thalia to leave before discreetly making her exit.

"Oh, Claudia, if you want to blame anyone, you should blame them, not me! But I should thank you. The Riveras wouldn't be taking care of me now if it weren't for your sacrifice. Hahahaha!" Thalia chuckled softly, sending shivers down Beatrice's spine.

Initially, Beatrice thought Thalia was merely mischievous. However, after hearing the conversation between Thalia and Quinn, she realized that she must send Thalia away as soon as possible. Otherwise, some sort of disaster would befall Lucas if Thalia kept staying by his side!

Beatrice resolved to thoroughly investigate what happened all those years ago.

Just as Thalia was about to go downstairs, Beatrice let her guard down and accidentally bumped into the door, making a 'click' sound.

Thalia immediately turned around alertly. "Who's there?"

Previously, Quinn had pulled her into this corner, and she thought it was completely hidden, so she had not thought much about it. She never imagined that there would still be someone there.
