?Chapter 997:


    Quincy found himself torn between his anger over the business dealings between the Rollins and Hill families and his personal feelings for Baylee.


    “Quincy, you’ve got one minute,” Marvin said, checking his watch. He was upied with the aftermath and handling the Hill family’s opportunists following the recent purge.


    Quincy took a deep breath, trying to keep his emotions in check. “Marvin, reopening ties with the Rollins family could resolve all your current crises.”


    “I thought you’d bring up Baylee,” Marvin said, sping his hands and chuckling mockingly. “So this is where your loyalty lies.”


    In the end, profit and power mattered more to Quincy than Baylee did. Back then, Quincy had chosen the same path, leading to the downfall of Baylee’s family.


    Marvin felt that he should have taken Baylee away from Quincy from the beginning.


    “You!” Quincy hissed.


    “If I were in your shoes, I’d choose Baylee without a second thought,” Marvin sneered.


    Marvin gave Quincy a cold stare. Quincy’s actions and decisions were nothing but betrayal and harm to Baylee!


    “You’re not in my shoes,” Quincy said, clenching his fists. “You don’t know how hard it’s been for me!”


    “I’m choosing Baylee over the benefits,” Marvin told him.


    Marvin preferred facing threats from Shelton, being targeted by the Hill family, enduring attacks from all sides, and even trying hard to secure new partnerships. He did all this to teach Quincy a lesson for hurting Baylee and ruining their rtionship.


    Quincy’s expression turned grim. He once had to choose between his family responsibilities and Baylee. Quincy always believed he had made the right choice. He was the eldest son in his family, and from a young age, he bore the weight of responsibility, which meant he couldn’t just do as he pleased. He struggled for Baylee, gave her the best years of his youth, and felt devastated after their breakup.


    Then he believed that once he became strong enough, he would have the freedom to choose again. By that time, he could reunite with Baylee. But he had never expected Marvin to enter the picture.


    Your next story is at gα?ησν????s


    Quincy still couldn’tprehend why Marvin, who used to stand silently in the courtyard corner as a child, unnoticed by anyone, had changed so drastically. Now Marvin had be cold and determined, catching Quincy and the other Hill family members off guard, leaving them unable to retaliate!


    “Marvin,” Quincy spoke to him in a cold manner, no longer treating Marvin as his cousin, but as his rival in love. “Do you think Baylee will forgive you for deceiving her?” Then he added with a smirk, “No matter what you do, your oue will be like mine, won’t it?”


    Neither he nor Marvin could win Baylee!


    “Quincy, I’m not like you.” Marvin sat back in his chair with crossed legs, exuding arrogance. “The Hill family will keep thriving while yours might face bankruptcy. Given your current situation, you can’t possibly support Baylee. Quincy, you’re not worthy of her!”


    Marvin’s words struck a nerve with Quincy, who flushed with anger. Realizing that negotiation was futile and unwilling to be further belittled, Quincy stormed out, mming the door behind him.


    Once Quincy had left, Shelton phoned Marvin and gave him a stern rebuke for his recent actions.


    “I won’t discuss your punishment with anyone else, but Quincy is your brother!”


    “He’s just my cousin,” Marvin corrected Shelton coldly.
