Chapter 709 Quentin Found Out
Mark called Grace, but no one answered.
Linda's call also went unanswered.
In the end, Mark could only send a message: [Grace, don't act impulsively. Stay calm.]
[Dealing with scum like Marlon requires caution, or you'll get into big trouble.]
Quentin was busy all night yesterday and didn't go to bed until around five in the morning.
Willie saw the trending topic on Instagram at around nine in the morning.
He wanted to report it to Quentin immediately, but Quentin had been working for several days straight and had slept less than ten hours in total.
So, Willie was very worried about Quentin's health.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to wait until Quentin woke up to tell him.
When Quentin woke up, he saw several missed calls from Linda.
If Linda was looking for him, it must be related to Grace.
So Quentin called back immediately.
But no one answered.
Then he saw that the trending topic on Instagram prominently featured the names Grace and Marlon.
However, there was an unpleasant word in between: seduction.
The following posts were all related.
#Former Goddess Grace Is Desperate For Sex.
#Grace Has Fallen.
#Marlon Got Beaten.
#Poor Marlon, Feel Sorry For Him.
If Quentin hadn't controlled his rage, he would have smashed his phone on the spot.
"Willie, get in here!"
Quentin rubbed his temples and shouted.
Hearing the anger, Willie knew something was wrong. It was almost certain that Quentin had already found out.
Willie always had to face Quentin's wrath.
He now felt that being Quentin's assistant was one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. It was only his sense of dedication that kept him going; no one else would do it!
"Mr. Taft, I'm here."
Willie stood in front of him, anxious like a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing his demeanor, Quentin was sure he already knew.
Quentin threw a book at Willie. "Dare to hide it from me? Getting bolder, huh? Are you the CEO, or am I?"
"Mr. Taft, please calm down, I..."
"Still babbling? Get out and make a call right now. First: I don't want to see any trending topics about her in the next ten minutes. Second, prepare the plane; I'm going to find her."
"Yes, Mr. Taft."
"Come back." Quentin glared at him angrily. "Watch your time. If you're one second late, your year-end bonus is canceled."
Willie murmured, "Mr. Taft, that's too..."
Willie's last words were swallowed under Quentin's icy stare, left unsaid.
"If you dawdle for one more second, next year's bonus is gone too."
Willie immediately went to work.
When Linda and Grace arrived at the hospital, Marlon was leisurely eating grapes in the ward.
Beth was heartbroken over his injuries and was sitting beside him, peeling grapes one by one.
"Beth, I'm thirsty. I want a Coke." Marlon crossed his legs, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Marlon, the doctor said you should drink warm water now."
"Warm water has no taste. I want a Coke. If you don't get it, I'll get it myself."
Marlon pretended to get up, and Beth, worried about him, immediately compromised, "Okay, don't move. Coke it is. I'll get it for you, but you have to promise me to drink less."
"Alright."
Outside the ward, Linda couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the door open.
Seeing Grace and Linda, Marlon, with a grape in his mouth, spoke sarcastically.
"It's our once-famous Ms. Morgan."
"So? Have you finally come to your senses and come to beg for my forgiveness?"
"Let me tell you, Grace, you had Mark beat me up, and I'm angry. You better think about how to compensate me, or I'll make sure you never make a comeback in the entertainment industry."
Grace didn't even glance at him, only looking at Linda.
Linda nodded and looked at Beth. "I need to talk to you. Let's step outside."
Beth looked at Marlon, reluctant to leave.
Marlon also spoke, "Go ahead. Grace and I have a big conflict to resolve. I need to discuss my compensation with her. Don't worry, I'm not interested in her."
Beth looked at him, aggrieved, "Marlon, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about your injuries. You scared me yesterday."
"Go on. She won't dare do anything to me, and there are security guards in the hospital. If there's any danger, I'll just shout."
"Okay, be careful then."
Beth reluctantly left the ward.
Outside, facing Linda, she regained her usual arrogant demeanor.
"Grace hit me that day. To be honest, I was a bit scared, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Linda, don't forget there's a law in this world. You can't stop the truth from coming out."
Linda sneered, "Yeah, there is a law in this world. Those who are insidious, deceitful, and despicable will definitely be punished."
"Linda, watch your words. Who are you talking about?"
"Marlon, who else?"
"Marlon was right. You would definitely slander him."
Hearing Beth's words, Linda was helpless.
"Then tell me, what did he say to you?"
"Marlon said Grace already knew about him and me. She was jealous and unwilling, thinking her looks could replace me and be with him."
Beth's unfinished words were interrupted by Linda, "So Grace dressed up and invited him to her room, but he remained unmoved and wasn't tempted. Grace lost her dignity, got angry, and stabbed him with a knife."
After Linda finished, Beth's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How did you know?"
Linda couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was utterly ridiculous.
What baffled her even more was that Beth believed it all and stood firmly by Marlon's side.
"Marlon is a bastard. Grace was right; he would definitely shirk responsibility and deceive you."
"I thought you wouldn't be so stupid, but you are. Beth, open your eyes. Marlon is lying to you. Wake up."
"Years ago, Grace didn't think much of Marlon. Do you think she would throw herself at him now? And with the difference in strength between men and women, do you think Grace could stab Marlon? Please, use your brain."
"Marlon said he drank Grace's water, and there was something wrong with it, so he had no strength at all."
Linda couldn't hold back any longer. Forgetting any sense of decorum, she cursed bluntly.
"Damn bastard, scumbag, makes me sick."
Meanwhile, in the ward.
Marlon was sitting with his legs crossed, in a very good mood, waiting for Grace to speak.
He naively thought Grace was affected by today's trending topic on Instagram and had come to apologize and beg for his mercy.
He was happily thinking about what conditions to set.
However, he was wrong.
