Naomi''s heart twisted with pain. Being mistaken for someone else in bed by a man was a blow that cut deep.


    "Quinn, maybe it''s time to let go of Simon," her mom suggested softly. "I can help you find someone who truly appreciates you."


    Quinn''s eyes shed with a mix of emotions. "Find someone suitable for me? Where are you going to find that? Do you really think my life is over? This mess is all Simon''s doing! He chased after me, and now he''s embarrassed and has tossed me aside. No one in our circle wants to be seen with me. Unless Dn shows interest, I''ll never regain any respect."


    As she spoke, a fierce resolve zed in her eyes. Dn was well-respected, and if he were to choose her, no one would dare disrespect her again.


    Ryan, who had been listening nearby, couldn''t hold back any longer. He stood up abruptly. "Quinn, you''re kidding yourself. Even without these rumors, Dn would never go for you! Do you even know who he is? You''ve got no grip on reality!"


    Ryan''s words struck a nerve, and Quinn''s eyes zed with anger. She swept everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage. "He can be into ra, that tramp, but not me? It''s just because I haven''t had a chance to show him what I''m made of. Once he gets to know me, he won''t want anyone else."


    Ryan had never heard anything so bold. He knew Quinn wasn''t exactly innocent, but her words took him by surprise.


    Quinn didn''t see any fault in her thinking. The idea of Dn choosing ra over her made her want to tear everything down. The man she desired was infatuated with someone she couldn''t stand. It was a wonder she hadn''t lost her mind yet.


    If she couldn''t find happiness, no one else would either!


    Furious, Ryan stormed upstairs, unwilling to hear any more of her wild derations.


    Quinn suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Naomi. "Mom, help me, please. When Anna visits the Bradfords, swipe her phone and use Dad''s situation to keep her there. Once Dn and I are together, I''ll do whatever you say. Otherwise, I''d rather die!"


    With that, she smashed a ss on the floor, ready to use the shards on herself.


    Naomi turned pale with fear. She knew Anna was right-Dn wasn''t just any guy. Countless women in the city were after him with no luck. How could Quinn, with her tarnished reputation, ever hope to win him over?


    "Quinn, maybe this isn''t the way..." Naomi tried to reason, but Quinn had already cut herself with the broken ss.


    On the verge of fainting, Naomi quickly agreed. "Alright, I''ll do whatever you want! Just stop this! Even if no man wants you, the Bradfords will always take care of you."


    Quinn''s eyes were filled with disdain. The thought of no man wanting her was worse than death.


    Just wait, she thought. She was going to make Dn hers, and those who mocked her would soon eat their words.
