Chapter 29 Quincy Lets Her Take the Fall
Quincy took off his tie in frustration and tossed it aside.
He thought, “Good for you, Renee. You resigned and especially told my mom. You want to use this to get away from me so you can be with that actor?
“You wish!”
He looked at his assistant. “Give me the information of the actor that we looked into back then. Did they bid for a piece of land last time?”
The assistant nodded and thought, “Is Mr. Patel going crazy because of Ms. Braun and wants revenge?
“He used to be much more rational in the past.
“Mr. Patel, calm down.”
After quitting, Renee planned to have a great sleep at home. Yet the next day, she got a call from Josefina Barrett, her mother, asking her to come over for a meal and say she had made some soup.
Renee looked at her weak self in the mirror and wanted to go home for some soup for nutrition.
Yet she had just walked in the door when she found a black Bentley parked in the yard. She knew, of course, who the owner was.
She knew it. Josefina would not have been so enthusiastic about asking her to come home for a meal for no reason.
Renee hesitated and turned to leave, but she was stopped by the maid, saying, “Ms. Braun, you’re back.”

for you.”
Josefina rushed out, took Renee’s arm, and led her into the hall.
Renee looked up and saw the man sitting on the couch. He put his casual coat casually on the couch, and he was wearing a shirt with long white sleeves, looking young and easygoing.
Yet the more Quincy looked like this, the more frightened she got.
It was the look he had when he was trying to manipulate or fix someone.
Yet he was the one who fired her, so she figured that she had nothing to worry about.
At the thought of that, Renee plucked up her courage and said. “Mom, let me help in the kitchen.”
“Someone has got that covered. You don’t have to. You are Mrs. Patel, after all, and of course, you don’t have to do such kinds of things. Just sit down and chat with me together with Quincy. I haven’t seen you home for a meal in a while.”
Renee was on pins and needles when she sat down.
Quincy said, “I’m so busy at work that I haven’t been able to visit you
more often.”
“It’s nothing. Quincy, you’re busy, and I know it. Renee is not very good at taking care of people, and she actually has a bad temper. I hope you don’t mind it. If she has done anything wrong, feel free to tell me. I will talk to her.”
Renee could barely hold on.
She thought, “Is Quincy out of his mind? Why is he here?

“I swear he’s up to no good!”
Quincy sat up straight. “There is one thing, in fact.”
Renee got wary and thought, “What is he up to exactly?”
Quincy chuckled and said, “Renee takes care of people, works hard, and has a flair for design. She’s so perfect that it makes me feel like I’m not good enough. I’ve been hiding her identity and still can’t explain it to the entertainment reporters, which makes others think that she’s my mistress.”
“Well, we get that. It’s for the sake of the Patel family. Your mother’s secretary called me personally and said that because of the plagiarism incident, it is not appropriate to disclose Renee’s identity at this time so as not to cause bad influences. We can understand.”
Quincy tilted his head and looked over. “But Renee got mad at me and quit.”
Renee had a bad feeling and thought, “You cunning man! You slander
me!”
She was about to explain and said, “Who said I quit? It’s…”
She wanted to say that it was Quincy who fired her. He let her take the fall!
“Renee, you shouldn’t have done that. You are Mrs. Patel, and you have to think of the bigger picture. This is nothing. Be sensible.”
“That’s right, Renee. So what if you can’t clear your name? Quincy can make it up to you by buying you fancy cars and bags So what if you lose your reputation? You can humiliate them when your identity is disclosed.”
Renee couldn’t find a word to talk back. She said angrily, “You know nothing Quincy is with someone!”

Suddenly, the hall fell quiet.
Josefina hesitated. “What’s going on?”
Timothy hurriedly said, “Mom, I know about this. Quincy is nothing but outstanding, and of course, there are countless women who want to throw themselves into his arms. Renee got him wrong. Quincy doesn’t have any woman besides her. He cherishes his reputation more than anyone.”
Renee was about to lose it. Josefina pulled her aside and lectured her, “Renee, be sensible. Quincy came here today personally to offer you a way out. Don’t push your luck.”
“Mom, I’m telling the truth. Quincy is with someone! And I didn’t quit. He wanted to make things right for her and fired me.”
Renee couldn’t bear it and was ready to tell Josefina the truth.
She wasn’t the one who was wrong.
“So what? She’s at most a mistress. You are Mrs. Patel.”
Renee was stunned.
Josefina took her hand and said earnestly, “He’s here to coax you, right? Men like Quincy are bound to have mistresses. Just hold on to the title and give him a baby as soon as possible. The job in the group doesn’t matter. Just listen to me, OK? I’m your mom. I always look out for you.”
After that, Josefina quickly walked toward the hall and talked to Quincy with a flattering smile. Those who didn’t know might think Quincy was
her son
Renee stood in situ in disbelief.
She covered her face and thought, “How come even my own family doesn’t support me?

“Why should I swallow my pride and bear Quincy’s baby when he has a woman already?
“No way!
“No way I can do that.”
The atmosphere when eating was harmonious. It was mainly Josefina and Timothy who talked to Quincy, flattering him. Quincy maintained a fake smile and casually dealt with them.
Renee ignored everyone else, lowered her head, and gulped down a lot of soup quickly.
She figured that the upcoming war was tough, and she had to be physically prepared.
After the meal, finally, Quincy was about to leave. Renee was relieved.
However, he looked over. “There will be an important bidding meeting later. Why don’t you go with me, Renee?”
