Anton immediately looked at me, his eyes filled withplexity. “Anyway. Esmeralda, apart from that incident back then, I have said that I will not protect her again, and I definitely won’t.”


    I pursed my lips and said nothing more.


    The banquet didn’t end until close to midnight.


    Just as I was about to leave, Quentin suddenly called out to me.


    He ran up to me briskly.


    I nced back at him, and Kimberly didn’t follow.


    “Ralda…”


    He urgently grabbed my hand, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, “Will youe back with me? It’s not easy for me to run into you this time. I don’t know when we will meet again next time.”


    Ralda, as long as you are willing toe back with me, you can punish me however you want.


    And also the babies, bring all the babies with you, I will take you all home together.”


    “What are you going back for? To let your Kimberly hurt Ralda?” Vonnie standing beside me couldn’t help but angrily say, “Have you forgotten how that woman hurt Ralda back then? I’m asking you, even if Ralda goes back with the babies, what will you do if Kimberly wants to harm the babies?”

    “No way!” Quentin asserted firmly, “No matter what, Kimberly wouldn’t harm two children.”


    “Huh!” Vonnie sneered, “That malicious woman, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do!”


    “Enough, Lavonne, shut up!” Quentin suddenly barked at Vonnie.


    Vonnie was startled by his yelling.


    I furrowed my brows, broke free from Quentin’s hand, and said coldly to him, “It’s you who should shut up.”


    “Ralda!” Quentin looked at me, his face full of helplessness and sadness.


    And I didn’t want to say anything to him.


    He didn’t even allow us to say a word about Kimberly, and he actually wanted me to go back with him.


    Oh, he really is my good brother!


    Vonnie was clearly hurt when Quentin yelled at her like that.


    She was seen with red eyes, biting her lips, staring at Quentin without saying a word.


    Johnathan happened to pass by.


    He first nced at Quentin, then looked at Vonnie, with a meaningful curve at the corner of his lips.


    “Hey, are you guys fighting?”


    Johnathan said, pointing in the direction of the hotel entrance with a smile, “I suggest you go there to make a scene. There are a lot of

    people there, and the media are all there taking pictures of the big shots. Hurry up and go there to make some noise, maybe you can even stir up some heat.”


    “You shut up!” Vonnie red at him fiercely.


    Johnathan chuckled, but the smile was not the usual worldly–wise one, instead it carried a hint of sarcasm and a touch of inexplicable coldness.


    He chuckled, withdrew his gaze, and walked past Vonnie towards the parking lot.


    I frowned and stared at Johnathan’s back, feeling that his strange smile just now.


    No, it was really weird. Who was he just mocking?


    Vonnie was yelled at by Quentin, then teased by Johnathan with a couple of remarks. At that moment, she clenched her fists tightly by her side, her eyes red as if tears were about to fall.


    Quentin looked at her, seeming a little guilty.


    He pursed his lips and said to Vonnie, “Don’t cry, I’m an impatient person, you know that, I just…”


    “You just couldn’t stand anyone saying bad things about Kimberly!”


    Vonnie wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said coldly, “But I’m telling you, if Kimberly dares to hurt Ralda again, I will not be polite to her. You don’t want Ralda as a sister, I do! If you refuse to protect her again, I will do it!”
