Lizetta’s voice trailed off as she too remembered the moment she saw that news article. In the photo,
Quinn was bundled up inyers, his face hidden behind a bulky mask.
For a second, she had wondered why someone would cover up so much at such an important and
formal business event

Then she thought maybe he had a cold and didn’t want to spread it around. Quinn was always known
for being kind–hearted and generous, a real gentleman.
But now, thinking back, could it have been that the person in the photo wasn’t Quinn at
Lizetta looked up at Remington in shock. Remington’s handsome face was pale, his eyes showing an
unmistakable pain that he
couldn’t hide
A heavy feeling settled in Lizetta’s heart. Deep down, she had known all along.
Remington would never joke about his best friend’s life. Quinn was truly gone.
“Was that person a stand-in?” she asked, her voice quivering, already knowing the answer.
Remington nodded. “NovaTech Innovations has been the West family’s major focus for the post five
years, theerstone of the West family’s future. Quinn built it from the ground up. His passing at this
time would have been devastating for thepany. His dad had no choice but to resort to this”
Lizetta gasped, “But hiding the death of the controlling owner, that could be considered a financial
crime, couldn’t it?”
Remington’s lips thinned. The West family needs to get through this tough time first. Hiding the death
itself isn’t illegal, it’s only if we obtain a considerable illegal benefit and cause significant financial loss
that it bes a crime. We’ll see how things are handled moving forward.”
Lizetta thought about the situation of the West family and felt deeply for them.
The West family wasn’t like the other wealthy dynasties around Zion City. They had suffered a lot of
losses.
The Wests were a loving couple, with Quinn as their only son who had taken over the family business
at a young age.
Martin had stepped back from the limelight for years, and Quinn had been the pir of the West family.
His sudden death at such a young age, especially at a critical moment of thepany’s
transformation, was indeed a devastating blow to the West family.
But these were not things Lizetta could do anything about
“His dad’s been working hard to manage the rights issues within the West Group and stabilize morale.
In a few days, the news of Quinn’s passing will be made public.”
Remington’s voice was hoarse. Lizetta, who had known Quinn since childhood, felt a wave of sadness.
Especially thinking of Remington’s rtionship with Quinn, she felt terrible for him.
Lizetta wrapped her arms around Remington’s waist, her face pressing against his chest.
“You must be hurting. You should’ve told me sooner
Remington hugged her back, leaning down to kiss.hu/tehead.
Lizetta looked up: “Quinn, how did he pass?”
Remington stiffened, his handsome face momentarily clouded with deep sorrow, as if the sunlight had
faded from his eyes
His throat worked for a moment before he spoke in a hoarse whisper, “Car ident.”
What he didn’t say was that Quinn had been on his way to see him when the ident happened.
If it hadn’t been for his call, Quinn wouldn’t have been driving tired in the middle of the right, wouldn’t
have crashed, and wouldn’t have died so young.
It was his call that had cost Quinn his life.
But what he owed the West family was more than just Quinn’s life.
So, no matter what, he couldn’t let anything happen to Evelina’s unborn child.
That child was Quinn’s only bloodline, possibly thest of the Wost family.
Remington’s emotions were at a breaking point, his fists clenched tightly, his entire being seeming to
sink into a deep, cold abyss.
Lizetta could tell Remington was struggling, and her heart ached for him.
She reached up to caress Remington’s handsome face, smoothing the lines of worry from his brow, her
voice filled with concern and helplessness as she called his name.
