Willa’s face suddenly went tense. She watched me carefully and snapped, “What are you trying to say? You want to go after Quincy now? I’m warning you, if you dare lay a finger on her, I will never forgive you.”
She even grabbed my collar and said through gritted teeth, “Don’t you ever talk about my sister again.”
I heard the rage in her voice and I laughed quietly.
Quincy was her younger sister, the only family she had in this world. She loved her like a precious treasure.
Once, when a man whistled at Quincy, Willa lost her temper. She took her bodyguards to that street and started a fight with anyone who looked wrong in her eyes.
Now, I couldn’t even imagine how she would feel if she found out her own sister had been tricked by her assistant, Kevin Lorenzo, into marrying a stranger in the mountain village.
I bent down to pick up my phone, but Willa stepped on it hard and crushed it with her heel.
I said coldly, “Willa, my sister just called me. She’s having a hard time giving birth right now and her life is in danger. We have to find a way to save her.”
She just replied without emotion, “It takes at least four hours to drive from the city to that village. If she can get through it, there’s no need to rush just to save her. If she can’t, well, calling for help now won’t change anything.”
Then she kicked my phone again and the pieces flew everywhere.
I held back my anger and said, “My sister grew up in the city and has never lived in a place like that. She can’t survive in a remote mountain village.”
“Marriage should be about love and equal standing. Letting her marry a random man from a random village is too irresponsible. Since Kevin knows where she is, we should go and bring her back.”
Willa gave me a cold look and said with disdain, “Do you think marriage is a game? Those villagers have their own principles. Once they’re married, it’s for life. The word divorce doesn’t even exist there. Even if you take her away, her husband’s family will find her and drag her back.”
“You’d better forget about it. Once she’s married into that mountain village, she’s never coming back.”
I said through clenched teeth, “Willa, if it were your sister, would you let her suffer like that for the rest of her life?”
She laughed. There was even a hint of satisfaction in her tone. “Too bad my sister didn’t marry there. Maybe that’s just fate. My sister deserves happiness forever.”
