The Runaway Groom

Chapter 310

However, just as Quincy was about to speak, Greg snatched his phone away. “Hey, it’s my phone! What do you think you’re doing?”

Quincy froze for seconds and narrowed her eyes.

Greg was clearly feeling guilty, but he had no choice but to do it-what if it was Kathy calling?

He would be exposed!

“Give it to me right now.” Quincy held out a hand, looking dead serious just then.

When Greg refused, she demanded, “Are you cheating on me, Greg?”

“No way! Why would I do that? You’re being paranoid-”

Quincy snatched his phone out of his hands before he could finish, and answered the call. “Hello?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Oh! Hey, Quincy! Is my brother from another mother over there?”

Quincy recognized the voice-it was one of Greg’s close friends, and she was acquainted with the man as well.

Greg was relieved since he heard the voice too. Feeling confident right then, he snorted at Quincy. “Why would you suspect me? Come on, you’re embarrassing me in front of my friend here-what if he told the others you’re getting strict with me? They won’t ask me to hang out with them now…” Quincy smiled. “Oh, I was just feeling concerned. Never doubted you for a moment.” With that, Greg took back his phone and left the room to answer it.

Quincy sneaked closer to eavesdrop.

It turns out that there was nothing suspicious.

Even so, Greg was clearly being weird and fumbling to stop her from taking that call.

Nonetheless, as Greg returned inside the room after taking the call, he said, “You must be tired. I’ve told the kitchen to make you some chicken soup, and you should take a nap after drinking it. Have you seen how weary you look?”

Quincy was actually emotional that he still cared about her, and smiled. “Well, it’s for you and our son’s sake. We’re all Jeffersons, so there’s no reason Andrew gets to keep everything for himself… Either way, anything you say goes now.”

Greg put a hand around her shoulder then. “I know it’s been difficult since you’ve always been working hard for our family. That’s why I would never do anything to wrong you-I mean, have I done. any such thing after so many years?”

Greg had certainly been dutiful and proper-Quincy could not fault him at all as a husband over the years. Rubbing her temples, she decided just then that she had been paranoid. Her nerves had certainly been worn thin after toiling at Light Group for days now.

“Thank you for being so understanding, darling,” Quincy said as she leaned against his chest.

Greg breathed a sigh of relief ever so discreetly, but kept smiling as he made Quincy lie down in bed. “I can give you a massage to get you relaxed.”

“Sure.” Quincy said as she sprawled herself on the bed, but she was soon sound asleep.

The next day, Quincy and lan arrived at a fancy restaurant.

They had an appointment to meet Eastdawn’s representative there, but for one reason or the other, they were late to the meeting.

lan was soon starting to get worried. “Do you think Mr. Cross is backing out?”

Quincy was much more composed than her son, and told him, “Stay calm. I’ve looked into the man- he’s

a man of his word and holds an upstanding reputation in his circles. He won’t stand us up.”

And even as she spoke, James Cross was already walking toward them.

Both Quincy and lan stood up in return. “Good afternoon, Mr. Cross.”

James was smiling and apologized humbly. “Sorry to keep you waiting-something came up.”

“Oh, it’s fine. We just arrived ourselves. Please have a seat.” Quincy smiled.

“I see,” James said and took his seat, handing them a document and cutting to the chase. “This is the mechanical component our company has developed for aircraft and large vessels. It will see a 30% reduction in fuel consumption, and I’m currently accepting investments due to some recent capital stagnation. I wouldn’t have done so otherwise, but I’m sure you can tell that once this component hits the market, it will definitely develop into a monopoly. Otherwise you wouldn’t have selected my company for a potential investment.”

That was certainly true-that was what Quincy and lan were aiming for.

And they sorely needed something to solidify their authority over Light Group!
