"Then tell me, what am I jealous of you for? Jealous that you stole your sister's life? Or jealous that for all these years, you've been living as someone you're not, imitating your sister's habits just to please Lucas? You think that high and mighty life of yours is something I admire? Well, I don't, because I am who I am. I'll never be like you, someone who's lost touch with their true self."

Quinn's words struck Thalia like a bolt of lightning, causing her eyes to widen in shock. "What are you saying? Don't think you can spout nonsense just because you've had a few drinks! Don't blame me for disregarding our friendship if I hear any more of that!"

Quinn scoffed. "Do you think I want to be your friend? Your sister didn't meet a good end, and seeing that only fills me with dread. Tell me, do you think Lucas would still feel indebted for being saved by your sister back then if she knew the true cause of her death? He'd probably want to strangle you!"

Beatrice was originally coming to check on Melody and she did not expect to hear such a conversation between Thalia and Quinn.

Quinn's words left Beatrice puzzled. 'What did she mean by Thalia's sister's true cause of death? What hidden truth was there from the past? Why didn't Thalia react angrily to her words immediately but instead seemed anxious, almost as if she wanted to escape? What is she feeling guilty about?'

Beatrice held her breath, deciding to stay in that shadowy spot a bit longer, wanting to uncover the hidden secrets behind the conversation.

"You're drunk. I warn you, you better not cause a scene like last time. Now then, I have something else to do. Goodbye," said Thalia, grabbing her handbag to leave.

However, there was no way Quinn would let Thalia leave so easily; not when it was so rare for her to gain the upper hand in an argument with her.

Quinn tightly gripped Thalia's wrist. "Do I need to remind you again? I heard your sleep talk last time we were in Molomia. I have some evidence in my possession. Try me if you don't believe me!" Thalia did not dare to use what happened in the past to test Quinn because deep down, she knew that for many years, a nightmare had been haunting her. That was why she avoided sharing a bed with others She feared that she might accidentally reveal the truth of what happened back then when she talked in her sleep.

"What do you want from me?" Thalia asked, her voice tense. "Don't forget, if it weren't for me taking you in, you might have been killed by that mob boss' daughter long ago. You wouldn't even be standing here in this banquet right now. Without me, you wouldn't even be able to enter the Riveras' house, let alone flirt with those men..."

Quinn found Thalia's demeanor intriguing. Over the years, it had always been Thalia condescendingly offering her things she did not want. Even the friendship Quinn thought they had seemed to be nothing more than Thalia's one-sided delusion.

Everything Thalia did was calculated, with a purpose. Quinn had no doubt that she would be discarded by Thalia the moment she had no use for her. This was a lesson Quinn had learned recently-Thalia was like an ungrateful snake, ready to bite back at any moment.

"Of course, I know that without you, I would've had nowhere to go. But aren't you trying to use me too? Aren't you trying to get me to help you win back Lucas' heart? You might be taking me in, but is that house really yours? It's only because the Riveras are kind-hearted that they let you stay there."
