Chapter 1219
Mr. Fay clutched his chest, his voice pained. "Lydia, you'd go this far for a man? You'd hurt your parents like this?"
Mrs. Fay, equally panicked, pleaded, "Lydia, put the knife down. Your father's health isn't good. Please, don't make him worry anymore!"
But Lydia didn't lower the knife. Instead, she let out a bitter laugh. "You're asking me not to hurt him, not to hurt you. But what about me? Have you thought about the fact that you're hurting me? I've always been the obedient daughter, doing everything to make you happy. "Even when I took the job as a secretary at York Corporation, it was because you wanted me to gain some experience. But now, what's it turned into?
"I never dated in college, never had a boyfriend. Now I've finally found someone I love, and Quincy treats me so well. Why can't I be with him?
"Is Quincy such a terrible person?"
If he were, Nash wouldn't have trusted and mentored him all these years. Quincy was capable and respected in the industry, with many companies trying to lure him away with better offers, but he stayed loyal to Nash. Someone like that, wasn't he trustworthy?
Everyone knew that Nash had left for five years, and during that time, Quincy managed the entire York Corporation without ever considering taking it over for himself. That kind of integrity was something anyone could admire.
As she saw the blood trickling down Lydia's neck, Mrs. Fay felt a chill run through her. "Please, put down the knife. It's not that Quincy's a bad person, but we want you to be with someone even better."
"To you, 'better' just means wealthier. Do you even know anything about the person you've chosen for me? Have you really looked into his character?
"But Quincy built everything he has on his own. I believe in him. I'm willing to leave behind everything from this family and start fresh with him.
"For all you know, the rich guy you're pushing me toward might not even have as much as Quincy!"
Quincy had been by Nash's side for over a decade. Nash valued ability, and he trusted Quincy completely. With the level of responsibility Quincy held, his compensation was certainly generous.
Lydia wasn't just saying this to defend Quincy. She knew firsthand because she worked at York Corporation too, earning a good salary herself.
The knife pressed deeper into her
skin, and Mrs. Fay couldn't take it anymore. She shouted, "Alright, alright! Just stop this madness. If
you want to be with Quincy, fine. Be
with him!"
"As long as Quincy can prove himself in a short amount of time, we'll allow you to get married," Mr. Fay added reluctantly.
Only then did Lydia lower the knife and walk out the door.

Quincy mulled over what Lydia's parents had said. They weren't entirely wrong. If they didn't approve and weren't willing to give him a chance, he didn't want to hold Lydia back any longer.
So, as he drove away, Quincy made a decision. He blocked Lydia's contact and headed back to York Corporation, planning to immerse himself in work to numb the pain. Although Quincy didn't show any emotion, Nash could see right through him. Using work as an excuse, Nash called him into his office.
