The two were arguing furiously, and Jane Quinlan pulled out her phone to send a message with an address to Kay Forrest: "Forrest, I need help, come quick."
Then she put the phone away and continued to watch the two quarrel.
Benjamin Quinlan said, "Daisy Zenith, stop making unreasonable troubles.
I never said anything about disliking you for being dirty; what I told you is that a man who truly takes responsibility for you wouldn’t stop caring just because he’s slept with you early.
A man who doesn’t want to take responsibility for you wouldn’t take on any responsibility even if he slept with you after knowing you for ten years.
Also, it was you who first said that I was irresponsible, which made me say those words.
Just like the breakup, it was you who first said there’s no need for us to be together, only then did I say let’s break up.
If you think there’s no need to be together, then why not break up?"
Jane Quinlan felt she couldn’t intervene, as the two were almost about to fight.
Every man for himself, and the Devil takes the hindmost.
"Alright, the two of you stop arguing, my head is already aching from this."
Benjamin Quinlan looked at her: "Jane Quinlan, don’t get involved in this; the more you meddle in a couple’s quarrel, the messier it gets.
I know you’re my sister and Daisy’s best friend, and you’re stuck in a difficult position between us.
It’s just that Daisy isn’t thinking straight, to actually ask you to solve this."
"How am I not thinking straight? Benjamin Quinlan, I want you to make things clear.
I brought Jane here because she’s the only one who can speak between you and me.
Keeping things bottled up isn’t solving anything. Even if we are really going to break up, it should be laid out clearly.
I never said I’d cling to you, but you avoid me over trivial matters and even ignore my calls, is that what a man should do?"
"Don’t you know why I’m not answering your calls?
What else can we do on these calls in the past few days besides argue?"
"Since you know we can only argue and can’t do anything else, why can’t you just accommodate me a bit? I’m a girl, a little comforting would have sufficed.
But you, you don’t answer calls, you don’t come home, and I do want to talk things through with you, but did you give me a chance?
Every word I say, you snap back at me. Other than arguing, I don’t know what else I can do."
Daisy, shouting the whole way, started to cry, and Jane Quinlan helplessly said: "Brother, say less, alright? Daisy is right, girls need to be comforted.
Daisy wholeheartedly wants to bring you to meet her parents because she trusts you.
This isn’t such a big deal, what girls need is a sense of security.
If you refuse even to meet her parents, how can she believe that you intend to spend your life with her?"
"Exactly, Jane, you’ve spoken my heart," Daisy nodded through her tears.
Benjamin Quinlan, irritable: "Men and women think differently by nature. Jane, some of what you’re saying now sounds a bit biased."
"How is Jane biased? Everything she’s saying is just common sense."
Daisy had been silent, which was probably for the best, but as soon as she spoke, the two of them started clashing again.
Nelson Avery truly felt at his wits’ end; these two were really something, not stopping till they’re at each other’s throats.
Why isn’t Kay Forrest here yet, I’m dying of impatience.
Kay Forrest, after receiving Jane Quinlan’s message, closed his file and left the company.
Since she sent a message, there must be a good reason.
He didn’t call back, just got in the car, started the engine, and headed straight for the destination.
After his car left, Wendy from the opposite side was a bit puzzled.
Strange, Jane wasn’t with him.
Could it be that she got it wrong?
That damned Evie Larkin, she isn’t playing tricks on her, is she?
Jane Quinlan felt a headache from the incessant arguing before her eyes, circling around the same problem.
All that changed was that their voices got louder, nothing else.
The doorbell rang, and both immediately fell silent. Jane Quinlan quickly got up and rushed to open the door.
Seeing it was Kay Forrest, both were surprised.
Benjamin Quinlan said, "Director Forrest, how come you’re here?"
Kay Forrest looked sideways at Jane Quinlan and spread his hands: "What’s the situation now?"
Jane Quinlan, looking at Benjamin Quinlan and Daisy Zenith with a forced smile, said, "You two, ceasefire for five minutes, I need to talk to Kay."
She pulled him into the bedroom, and Kay with a mischievous smile said, "So what, you’re that eager now?"
"What are you babbling about? I’m really not in the mood for jokes right now.
The two outside have been arguing for almost half an hour, my ears are hurting.
I called you to help me break it up; I don’t know what to say anymore.
One is my brother, and the other is my best friend."
Kay Forrest tapped her forehead: "Now you’re worried."
