| stayed quiet, knowing speaking up would only upset them more. They were family, while | was an outsider. A

fierce quarrel would only hurt me.

Tears instantly welled in Quinn's eyes. Looking at Jared with a hurt expression, she said, “Ever since you got

married, you don’t loveanymore.

Sally was surprised and quickly held Quinn's arm, “What are you talking about? Jared is married, and of course,

he loves his wife. You'll get married one day, too. What's there to cry about?”

“I don’t want that” Quinn cried. “She’s not good enough for Jared. I just don’t like her. Jared, she’s got such a bad

temper. Why do you defend Her so much? You should just divorce her. Someone like her

“Quinn, don’t makehit you,” Jared said, staring seriously at her.

Quinn was stunned, her face instantly going pale, and she forgot what she was about to say

| stayed out of it, thinking it was smart not to pick a fight. If | argued with Quinn, | would be the one in trouble.

As long as | stayed silent, | would be the reasonable one. | had to admit that arguing took skill.

Suddenly. Quinn lunged atand shovedwith all her strength. “Victoria, this is all your fault. | hate you.”

Sally was surprised. She gently tapped Quinn's arm. “Why are you picking on Victoria? You're not married, so you

don’t understand how a family works. Husbands and wives each have their roles to play.

“Victoria just doesn’t work. She handles everything else well. Stop finding faults with her and chwith

“Mom, why does everyone act like I'm the one making trouble? Just look at her. All she ever does is play the

victim,” Quinn yelled, jabbing a finger at me.

She was right. | was playing the victim now, but my goal was to provoke her further.

“Quinn.” Jared becmad

“Babe.” | grabbed Jared's arm, lowering my voice. “Don’t blher. She's right. I'm lazy and have no self-

esteem.”

My eyes stung with unshed tears as | whispered, “Try to change”

“Victoria, drop the act.” Quinn said angrily, “You want to be a career woman like Tracy, right? Give it up. You're

no match for her.”

Jared suddenly stood up so fast that | lost my gp on his arm. Without hesitation, he slapped Quinn across the

face

Sally’s eyes widened as she saw Quinn get slapped by Jared. She yelled, “Who's Tracy?”

Wonne froze, scared, wrapping her arms abund herself and curling up.

Jared burned with anger. He shut his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and said, “Quinn, stop meddling in my

family affairs. And don’t mention Tracy in

| stayed lying on the couch. Jared walked over and asked in a low voice, “Does it hurt?”

| shook my head. | wasn’t physically hurt, but my pride was wounded.

“I'm sorry,” Jared said, sounding frustrated. “I didn’t realize Quinn had such a big issue with you, I'll talk to her”

“It’s fine,” | said, sitting up and quietly heading upstairs.

Jared caught up toby the stairs, looking up, and said, “Quinn is still a child; she speaks without thinking.

Don’t take her words to heart.”

| sneered. She was already twenty-three, yet Jared was still calling her a child,

“I'm not taking it seriously. I'm just tired,” | said softly, then strode upstairs.

| went into the bedroom and shut the door. | ran a bath, added rose oil, and closed my eyes, enjoying the warm

water. Owning the new place madefeel calm. Maybe settling in Shariport was a good idea.

After the bath, | put on a face mask, applied body lotion, and prepared to sleep.

Yvonne had also bathed. Clutching a doll, she stood hesitantly outside my door, afraid to ccloser,
