The corner of Keith's mouth twitched.
"| didn't touch her." Stan sat up. "I love my wife very much and will never do anything to betray her."
After a pause, he continued, "Ms. Grant merely informedto take her to the designated hotel."
Theo's gaze grew even colder after hearing what he said. If a person’s gaze could kill, then Stan would have died
countless times by now. "Go on."
"A man was waiting in the room but | don’t know who he was. He had his back facingthe whole tso |
couldn't see his face. | placed Mrs. Grant on the bed and left. | don't know what happened after that."
Did that mean that he did not know who touchedeither?

| felt sick in the stomach, and there was a suffocating feeling in my chest. Even breathing had beclaborious.
When Stan saw Theo's gloomy face and how he did not say a word, he began to panic. "I told you everything |
know and have not kept anything from you. Had it not been for Ms. Grant's promise of half a million dollars and
sending my family abroad, | would never have helped her do such an inhumane thing
even if it's for the sake of the child in my wife's belly. Please, Mr. Grant, you can do anything you want withif
you're angry, but can you not touch my family?"
Theo continued to stay silent. Keith cback with a bag, and after the bodyguards moved a table in front o f
me, he took out the food from the bag one by one and placed them on the table.
| stared dumbfoundedly at him.
Where did he get all these snacks in the middle of the night?
"I brought her here," a bodyguard said, walking up behind Theo.
Stan widened his eyes, anger filling his face. "You're a despicable man, Theo! | told you not to touch my family!"
Having said that, he struggled to get up from the ground.
Keith walked over to press him down again. “Sit still."
The sound of high heels was heard behind me. When | turned my head and saw Quinn, my expression sank.
She was wearing a long dress and a tweed jacket. Her high heels were incredibly clean. She looked both mature
and elegant.
For an elegant and noblewoman like her to be brought forcibly over by bodyguards, | could imagine how
displeased she must be feeling about it. Sure enough, | could see anger written all over her face.
When Quinn saw Theo and me, her face paled instantly. "What's the meaning of this, Theo?"

Theo looked at her with cold eyes. "What do you think?"
When she saw Stan lying on the floor, she recognized him by his clothes and body shape. Her legs went weak as
she nearly fell to the ground.
Theo took a deep breath and looked at Stan. "Why don’t you repeat to Ms. Grant what you toldjust now?"
Seeing that the comer was not his family, Stan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was not as agitated
anymore. After Keith released him, he said," Half a month ago, Ms. Grant invitedto her house to do
something for her. She promised to payhalf a million and send my family abroad. I'm not someone who
would easily agree to such favors, but my wife's parents had listed out conditions forwhen | married her
back then. I'm supposed to buy a house of my own before my child is born, or they'll take my wife and child
back. My child will take on their family ninstead."
After a pause, he continued, "I didn't cfrom a well-off family and Whaldorf City's property prices are getting
higher every year. Even if | earn a lot of money in Zimmer Corporations, | still can't afford to buy a house in
Whaldorf City, so | agreed.”
