Chapter: 679

“Boss."

"Quintin." Rachel called him through clenched teeth.

Quintin abruptly rose to his feet and said, "Boss, let me explain..."

"Get on your knees!" Rachel yelled angrily.

Without hesitation, Quintin instantly bent his knees and knelt on the cushion.

"I didn't mean to lie to you. That brat also kept it hidden from me. He had already arrived at Apliaria by the time I discovered tae

"Quintin, how long were you going to keep it a secret from me if I didn't return sooner?"

Quintin raised his eyes and took a close look at Rachel's countenance.

Before he could say anything, she inquired again, "A week or a month?

Or were you simply going to keep it a secret for the rest of your life? You thought I wouldn't have known he went to Apliaria without permission if you hadn't told me, right?"

Rachel's intonation was not heavy, neither quick nor slow, but it scared Quintin.

"How could I do anything like this, boss?" Quintin smiled awkwardly.

"You wouldn't do something like that, or you wouldn't dare?" Rachel inquired, a phony smile on her face.

Quintin was silent. He was truly terrified of doing it. But... Joey was already in Apliaria.

Rachel's head throbbed. It had been an hour since she had learned that Joey was in Apliaria, and she felt uneasy. And she knew precisely why she was feeling anxious. Because of Victor, Joey's father.

Apliaria and Victor had been taboo subjects in Quintin's and Rachel's hearts for the past four years. Rachel, in particular, would always avoid them instinctively.

In the previous four years, she would not hesitate to deny any

Apliaria-related work, let alone take the effort to inquire about

Victor. She knew she would run into Victor sooner or later. Some things could not be avoided forever, especially Joe's identity.

But she never expected to return to Apliaria so soon without being prepared to face Victor.

"Book the earliest available flight for me." Rachel pursed her Lips.

"I'm going to Apliaria, and I'm taking him home."

The doctor arrived not long after Victor had left. He checked Joey's arm scratches and applied the medication once more.

"It's not a major issue. Don't get the wounds wet for the next few days. When the scabs fall off naturally, you can apply the ointment.”
