Chapter 22
The moment she saw Whitney, Quincey’s resentment was deeper than anyone else’s, but she merely pretended not to let Megan know about
“Megan, they’ve moved on, and now Whitney has her own new life. We should be happy for her,” Quincey said, maintaining her well- disguised empathy.
Megan, however, couldn’t hide her feelings at all. “Be happy for her? This woman hurt Thiago so badly; I won’t let her off easily. A woman from the countryside coming to a place like this–what else can she do besides hook up with an old man?” Megan couldn’t help but sneer. Indeed, Whitney looked really good, especially in her outfit that day, practically outshining all the other women there, as if it were her home
turt
Megan was really jealous. ‘Why does Whitney’s appearance make me feel so uneasy? She deserves to die,’ she cursed inwardly.
Quincey took Megan’s hand and handed her a glass of wine from a waiter. “All right, that’s enough. We’re not here to gossip. Aren’t we supposed to enjoy ourselves at these events?” she said.
Hearing what Quincey said, Allson couldn’t help but praise her. “Yes, Quincey is sensible. You should learn more from her.”
Megan responded with mock indignance. “See, Mom? She hasn’t married into the family, and you’re already preferring her over me.”
Quincey smiled in response before pointing to the seats ahead, saying, “Mrs. Mackenzie, let’s go sit down over there.”
Alison and Megan agreed, and they sat down in the front. Quincey grabbed some desserts over, but Megan seemed a bit disdainful..
Quincey sat down and deliberately placed the invitation card in her hand on the table. Alison noticed the card, picked it up, and opened it.
“Is this your invitation, Quincey? It seems that the organizers value you very much,” she said.
Quincey smiled faintly. In fact, it wasn’t easy for her to get the invitation this time. “Yes, I never expected myself to be so lucky. I didn’t think that my music would catch the attention of the famous music producer, Felix Thompson.”
Before Quincey could finish, Megan interrupted, “I know Felix! Many famous stars now were promoted by him. He’s really amazing! Quincey, you should know that every artist and music producer he signed is immensely popular.”
Quincey smiled without saying anything, pretending to be modest, enjoying others‘ admiration for her.
Alison was happy for Quincey when she heard that. “To be able to catch the attention of such a huge figure, it seems you’re going to be famous. After all these years, you’ve stayed by Thiago’s side unwaveringly, and now the opportunity has finally come.”
“Please don’t say that, Mrs. Mackenzie,” Quincey said as she immediately took Alison’s hand. “You know, if it was for Thiago, I’d rather give up
all of this.”
Feeling emotional, Alison couldn’t help but look up at the gorgeous figure in front of her. In comparison, she had made the right choice for the sake of her son back then.
At that moment, the door of the hall was opened, and everyone looked in the same direction. As soon as Felix entered with several assistants, everyone crowded in his direction/
Quincey’s heart had already flown to him. Her purpose for coming today was for Felix. If she wanted to become the most shining star in

everyone’s eyes, Felix was the best path. But she couldn’t show it in front of Megan and Alison today. She couldn’t let them look down on her.
“I heard that Mr. Thompson held such a grand party today just for someone,” Quincey said with a hint of pride as she looked at the crowd not
far away.
Hearing this, Megan couldn’t help but praise her. “That person must be you. Who else is worthy besides you?”
Alison nodded and patted the back of Quincey’s hand. “That’s right,” she said.
Quincey smiled without replying. Walking a few steps forward with Megan and Alison, she headed in Felix’s direction, while he was also walking toward her, as if he was approaching her.
Her heart pounded faster, filled with excitement as she awaited the arrival of her glory. Felix walked up to Quincey. As she was about to
introduce herself, “Mr. Thompson…
However, Felix walked past her directly and headed in another direction. Quincey’s heart sank when she saw Felix finally stop behind Whitney and pat her on the shoulder. Quincey’s entire face became gloomy. Hatred and anger surged within her heart.
“It’s Whitney again!‘ she cursed, clenching her fists, and looked at Whitney through gritted teeth. Whitney smiled brightly, which only fueled her anger even more.
Whitney turned around, smiling politely as she reached out to shake hands with Felix. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Thompson,” she said.
Everyone turned their attention to both of them, without noticing there were three people with grim expressions on their faces, especially Quincey. She felt it was a huge disgrace. Whitney stole the spotlight from her once again, and she couldn’t accept it.
Quincey loosened her tightly clenched fist, trying to keep her expression from being too unpleasant, but Alison’s surprise and Megan’s jealousy were evident.
Felix laughed heartily, “I should say the pleasure is mine. You’re an Internet celebrity now, Ms. Collins. Someone as talented and beautiful as you should’ve shown your charm to everyone, instead of hiding it.”
“I’m flattered, Mr. Thompson.” When Whitney nodded, she couldn’t help but glance at Quincey, Seeing her contorted and darkened expression, Whitney felt quite satisfied with the result.
Felix beckoned the waiter to bring two glasses of red wine and handed one to Whitney. They clinked their glasses together. “You know, I came here specifically for you, Ms. Collins,” he say
“Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Thompson,” Whitney said.
Seeing that Felix came for Whitney, Alison felt ashamed. She turned to Quincey with a grim face and said, “He didn’t come for you. Why are we still here? Are we going to watch others enjoy the limelight?”
Grabbing Megan’s hand and walking out, Quincey looked at Whitney defiantly. As Whitney turned around, she happened to see Quincey looking at her. She smiled at her smugly and mockingly. Quincey, who was already very upset, suddenly became angry.
Quincey turned away and quickly caught up with Alison and Megan. As soon as she got in the car, Alison arranged to send Quincey home. Quincey could tell that Alison was very angry about the incident.
ist be amazing.”
“I’ve never imagined Whitney to be so powerful now. Even Felix came for her. Anyone who earns his appreciation must Quincey’s words were implying something, and Alison and Megan understood immediately.

Megan immediately looked disgusted and said, “I don’t believe she doesn’t have someone backing her. How could a big shot like Felix be interested in her like that?”
“Who else would want a divorced woman like her, besides being a mistress for those old men?” Alison couldn’t stand Whitney’s influential status now. After all, she was merely a countryside woman back then. If it weren’t for Tatiana, she would’ve never been a part of the
Mackenzie family.
