Chapter 242
Feeling the complex gaze from Alexander, Quintessa appeared as if she hadn't noticed him at all, remaining calmly seated and too indifferent to move.
Tyrone glanced coldly at Alexander, then wrapped his arm around Quintessa's waist in a possessive gesture, as if declaring to everyone who she truly belonged to.
When Serena caught sight of Quintessa, her face lit up with curiosity. "Ty, who's this lady? Oh, I remember now! She's that famous actress. Wow, she looks even more beautiful in person! Could I get your autograph later?"
Mrs. Harrington, seeing her daughter's excitement, gently tapped her, "Don't make a fuss, dear. A young lady should show some restraint."
Noticing Tyrone and Quintessa's close posture, Serena lowered her head and said, "I think I did something wrong." She playfully stuck out her tongue and scratched her head in embarrassment.
"A few days ago, I ran into Rachel while shopping. She said she would come to my coming-of-age ceremony with Ty. I happened to have an invite on me, so I gave it to her. I didn't expect... I'm sorry." Mrs. Harrington hugged her daughter tenderly, "Sweetheart, you can't blame yourself. You're so pure- hearted, how could you know the cunning of some women?" "But this is kinda awkward."
Mrs. York said with a comforting smile, "It's not your fault."
Mrs. Harrington said, "I apologize for the scene, my Serena is just too kind-hearted. She believes anything anyone tells her."
Mrs. York looked at Serena approvingly, "Kindness is good. I like kind-hearted children."
Quintessa, resting her chin on her hand, thought to herself that she was far from kind-hearted. So, it made sense that Mrs. York didn't like her.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Harringtons took their leave.
As she was leaving, Serena turned back to Quintessa, "I'll come find you later for that autograph."
Quintessa smiled, thinking Serena was indeed quite adorable.
Mrs. York turned to lecture Quintessa, "Young ladies should be like that, you know?"
Quintessa spread her hands, "I know,
but what's the use of that? If I were like her, I wouldn't have been able to sleep with your son, what a loss that would be."
If she were like Serena, she'd have been devoured without a trace left behind.
The mention brought back a flood of unpleasant memories, and Quintessa suddenly felt irritable.
"I'm going to the restroom. Care to join?"
Mrs. York turned away, "No, thank you."
"Then, I'll go ahead."
Tyrone called out, "Quinn."
Upon hearing his voice, Quintessa stopped and said without turning back, "I don't want to talk right now."
She headed straight for the restroom, looking for someone to vent her frustrations on.
Rachel was probably in there fixing her makeup after the mess Quintessa had made of her.
Quintessa smirked coldly. Rachel, don't hurry; I'm coming.

As expected, Quintessa found Rachel in the restroom. Quintessa didn't go in but leaned against the door of the women's restroom,
waiting for her to come out. Content.

After a while, after Rachel had finished fixing her hair and tended to a scrape on her leg, she came out.
Suddenly, Quintessa stuck out a foot, causing Rachel to fall forward with a scream, ending up face-first on the floor.
Quintessa's voice rang out overhead,
"Oops, sorry there, Rachel. Weren't you watch your steps? You
my foot hurt!" Content be made NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
