Chloe''s behavior was reckless.
Chloe''s unrelenting boldness was too much for Grant to resist. He rose to the asion, and in the dimly lit closet, he took herpletely. Their bodies entwined, fully surrendering to the rush of desire and the heat of the moment.
Meanwhile, because of framing Chloe, Sophia was being chased by bothizens and the police, like a rat running through the streets of Sovereign City.
Those relentlessizens not only attacked Sophia verbally online but also went to her house, smashed her windows, and harassed her family.
Sophia had no way out. She had to disguise herself and head to the vicinity of the Martin Family mansion, where she called her ally, Isidora.
"Isidora, can youe out? I need to talk to you," Sophia whispered, not daring to speak loudly.
However, Isidora quietly refused, "I can''t. I''m at the Martin Mansion right now, and if Anissa finds out I went out at this hour, who knows what she''ll think."
In truth, Isidora didn''t want to go out not because of Anissa, but because Quentin, ever since he returned from abroad, she seemed to prefer staying by his side, aside from helping Anissa with some houseworks.
Quentin also seemed to have gotten used to having Isidora, such a considerable woman living in his house.
Sophia said to Isidora, "Are you sure you won''te out? You know, I''ve been ruined because I helped you deal with Chloe. If you don''te out, I''ll go into the Martin Mansion to find you."
Her threat forced Isidora to back down.
"Alright, I''lle out now..."
As soon as Isidora agreed, Sophia added, "Remember to bring some money for me when youe out."
Hearing that Sophia wanted money, Isidora''s expression changed.
She raised her voice, "You''re asking me for money?"
"Yes, Isidora. Ever since you came back to Sovereign City, I''ve been helping you with everything, from taking care of your child to dealing with Chloe. I don''t owe you anything. How couldn''t you give me some money?" Sophia''s words were justified.
"Sophia, you know that. I really don''t have any money..." Isidora was indeed poor; otherwise, she wouldn''t have taken such risk measures for Kathy''s surgery fees.
But now, after meeting Quentin, it seemed she had forgotten her original purpose for approaching the Martin Family.
"If you don''t have money, figure it out. I can''t stay in Sovereign City anymore. You have to give me some money." Sophia knew what Isidora was worried about. "I don''t need much. Just give me five hundred thousand dors. Otherwise, I''ll head to the Martin Mansion right now."
If she exposed Isidora''s intentions in front of the Martin Family, all Isidora''s efforts would be in vain.
"Don''t... Sophia, I really don''t have any money." Isidora almost cried out.
"If
you don''t have money, ask the Martin Family. With so many rich people around, can''t you get some money?" Sophia suggested a way out for Isidora.
After a few more words with Sophia, Isidora hung up the phone.
She changed her clothes and prepared to go downstairs to meet Sophia. With no way
to get the five hundred thousand dors Sophia demanded, her face looked particrly grim.
Quentin was running on the treadmill on the first floor. Seeing Isidorae down, he greeted her.
"Isidora... it''ste. Where are you going?" he got off the treadmill and spoke to her.

Seeing Quentin covered in sweat, Isidora quickly grabbed a towel and ran to him, gently handing it to him.
She looked at Quentin with an admiring gaze.
Quentin''s in his fifties, but his money and good habits had paid off his face showed
no signs of aging, and thanks to his regr workouts, he still carried a healthy, handsome vibe that was hard to miss.
Isidora said to Quentin, "Quentin, my friend asked me to meet her outside..."
"Oh... you look a bit upset. Is something wrong?" Quentin asked, noticing Isidora''s troubled expression.
She suddenly had an idea. Sophia asked her for money, and she didn''t have any. Sophia suggested asking the rich people in the Martin Family, and wasn''t one of them standing right in front of her?
Isidora smiled awkwardly. "Quentin, it''s nothing serious. It''s just that my friend''s family is in trouble. She wants to borrow some money from me, but I don''t have any..."
Quentin asked, "What''s the trouble with her family?"
"Her mom is in the hospital and needs surgery. The cost of the surgery and
subsequent recovery is quite high. She wants to borrow some money from me. I feel
bad refusing her, but I''m on a fixed sry from the Martin Group, so I''m not very well-
off."
As Isidora spoke, she lowered her face.
Quentin casually said, "If your friend''s mom is sick and needs surgery, that''s a big deal.
If you have money, you should help."
Then he asked, "How much does she want to borrow?"

Isidora originally intended to say five hundred thousand dors, but then she thought, since she was asking, she might as well ask for more. To him, borrowing five hundred thousand or a million dors made no difference.
Thinking of this, she said, "Quentin, she wants to borrow a million dors."
"Oh, that''s nothing. I thought it was a lot more, seeing you so worried." Quentin said, pulling out his phone and finding Isidora''s Facebook. "I''ll transfer a million dors to you. You can send it to your friend."
In no time, Isidora''s phone received the transfer notification from Quentin.
Seeing the money on her phone, Isidora was thrilled.
She never expected that a million dors was nothing to a wealthy person.
All she did was casually mention needing some money, and without hesitation, Quentin transferred a million dors to her ount.
This was the best man she had met since moving into the Martin Mansion. Compared
to the cold and distant Grant, Isidora seemed more inclined to get closer to Quentin.
Her heart was in turmoil.
Perhaps because she was so moved, tears welled up in Isidora''s eyes.
Seeing her cry, Quentin was surprised.
"Isidora, why are you crying? Is the money I gave you not enough?" he asked.
Isidora shook her head...
