Fates Exchanged

Seeing the fifty thousand dollars successfully transferred to my account, I immediately got up and started packing my things.

Just as I shut the door, I heard Quinn grumble between sobs, “You’re still pining for that little vixen, aren’t you?

“Why can’t you stop glancing at her the moment she comes back?”

Hansen suddenly burst into rage. “Why don’t you take some time to clean yourself up!

“You reek! You make me sick just by looking at you!”

I gripped my suitcase tightly.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning.

Everything had been going smoothly for me lately, perhaps because I moved away from that place.

Within a month, I landed a major contract for my company.

My boss was thrilled and dragged me out shopping.

“You’re the company’s top star, how could we not get you some new, good outfits?”

Her enthusiasm was irresistible, so I went along.

Fate, however, had other plans. I ran into Hansen at the boutique.

Next to him was a woman, hunched over, gasping for air after every few steps.

I was sighing over how Hansen had landed yet another wealthy, older woman. However, when the woman turned her face toward me, it was Quinn.

Her face was covered in age spots. She saw me and forced herself to straighten up.

As if staking her territory, Quinn grabbed Hansen’s arm with her arrogance impossible to conceal.

I, on the other hand, had no interest in engaging with her right now.

“Heddy, what do you like?

“Go on, pick something! Don’t be shy!”

Since my boss insisted, I couldn’t keep refusing.

“Then, I’ll take this one!”

Just as I pointed at a dress in front of me, Quinn roughly shoved me aside.

“I’m taking this dress. Wrap it up!”

The store attendant looked at me with a troubled expression.

I shrugged and said, “Then, I’ll take this one.”

“That too! Wrap it up for me!” Quinn once again demanded.

My boss looked a little displeased. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Quinn sneered as she grandly waved her hand and said, “Everything in this shop, whatever she likes, I want it all.

“Understand?”

With her current appearance and the way she was speaking, I was certain that she had already taken the old man’s money.

Therefore, for this once, I quietly pulled my boss away and said, “Let’s go somewhere else to shop.”

There was such a heavy, ominous energy rolling off Quinn that just standing near her gave me chills.

Seeing me turning to leave, Hansen panicked and suddenly grabbed my arm.

“Heather, it’s been a while!”

Quinn snapped in fury and immediately rushed over to tear us apart.

Her gaze was murderous as she said, “Stay away from my boyfriend.”

Afraid that these two lunatics would cause trouble, my boss hurriedly dragged me away.

After the commotion, neither of us felt like shopping anymore, so we decided to drive off.

As soon as we emerged from the basement parking lot, we saw people cordoning off an area not far ahead.

“Looks like there’s been an accident.”

I nodded in response. Just as I rolled down the window, I heard Quinn’s desperate cries.

“Please save my boyfriend!

“Where’s the ambulance? Where the hell is it?!

“Any later and my boyfriend will lose both legs!”

My heart was caught in my throat. I hurriedly opened the car door to see what was going on.

Suddenly, someone rammed straight into me.

The man bowed his head in apology, but I stood frozen in shock.

The face right before me was all too familiar.

It belonged to the disabled old man who lived upstairs!
