Chapter 785 Shane’s Arrogance
“He…” Jolene’s mind spun quickly as she thought of an answer. She had mastered the art of lying after
being abroad for so many years.
“Of course, he’s unhappy about it, but he did not confront Mr. Quinnell Senior head–on.
“Uncle Shane, I’m sure you understand. Albert has been brought up well. He is always polite. He told me that Mr. Quinnell Senior’s health has not been too good, so he told me to bear with it for the time being.
“He said that I should stay away for a while. When Mr. Quinnell Senior softens his attitude toward me in
the future, Albert will try again once more.”
Jolene came up with this on the spot. Yet, Shane did not suspect her one bit. After all, he had expected this to happen. If Albert were to quarrel with Fabian because of his first love, that would not be logical.
“As long as he is unhappy about it, that’s good. The unhappiness will slowly grow.” Shane’s gaze darkened. When one bottled up one’s unhappiness to a certain point, it would explode.
He understood Fabian all too well. Fabian would never find any problems with himself. He was arrogant and would never let Shane have a better future than him, let alone any of his grandsons.
After all, not only did he not give the company to Shane, but he had gone and given it to Wynter!
Since Fabian was treating Shane like this, he couldn’t blame Shane for using his own tactics to fight for
what was rightfully his.
The more Shane thought about it, the tighter he clenched his fists.
He
e was really good at hiding his true self. His looks and the way he carried himself were an advantage to him. He could easily get others to believe him.
Furthermore, since he’d been brought up with the Quinnells‘ upbringing and education, it made him one of a kind. Wearing a mask came to him very naturally, and he didn’t feel the need to tear it off most of the
time, either.
But now, he thought it was time; he no longer needed to please anyone.
“You continue with the plan. Try to talk to Albert from time to time. Let him know that you two can’t be together because of his grandfather’s old ways. Say that he is looking down on you and that he wants to

“Sooner or later, Albert will start to react to it. You can just report to me regularly.”
Shane narrowed his eyes. “You can’t avoid me like today. Ms. Horton, you should understand who made it possible for you to return. Don’t think that I don’t know what you have been doing outside.”
“Don’t worry. I will treat Albert well!”
What had happened abroad was a dark part of Jolene’s history that she didn’t want to remember.
She had reached a point where she couldn’t survive there anymore. Her reputation had been completely

Shane and the others were the ones who had helped her so that she could return to the art circle. On top of that, no one in the country knew about what had happened to her while she had been abroad.
At the moment, a few people in Kingbourne had approached her because they liked who she was. Of course, Jolene was not going to waste all of this when she had gotten this far with so much difficulty
That was wh
If those incidents ever came to light, she wouldn’t be able to survive. Jolene was obedient when it came to matters like these.
There was only one thing that Shane had gotten wrong–he kept thinking that she was afraid of him. But in reality, Jolene was afraid of the person who had actually found her and brought her back.
She had seen what that person could do. They were as great as the current head of the Quinnell family. They could find out whatever they wanted to, even outside the country. That proved how well–connected
they were.
Jolene looked into the distance. If Fabian was defeated, there would surely be a change of powers within the Quinnell family.
