To Hunter’s disappointment, Granny Quinn did not come to see him at all.
Instead, the person sitting in front of him was a sneering Malcolm.
”You, too, have become a useless pawn,” Malcolm said, cackling. ”Granny gave me money yesterday,
and in exchange, I will have to come to visit you today, so I guess you know what that means, right?
”I can’t believe that yesterday, I had even told you that you’d one day become the successor of the Quinn
family. What a surprise!”
Hunter stared at Malcolm with an expression so cold that it was as though he would kill him at any
moment.
Feeling the hatred in Hunter’s gaze, Malcolm let out an exhale and shifted into a comfortable position in
his chair. ”I know why you asked Granny for help: You want her to help you get out of this predicament,
don’t you?
”However, since she has told me to come in her stead without any further instructions, I’m guessing she
has no intention of getting you out of here.
”However, if you beg me, I might be able to help you.”
Hunter narrowed his eyes. ”Will you do that if I really beg you?”
Malcolm curled his lips into a smirk. ”Of course…”
He inched closer to Hunter and said in a low voice, ”Of course I won’t.
”How can someone that was kicked out of the Quinn family and has no connections or money
whatsoever help you break out of jail?”
Hunter narrowed his eyes, despair clouding his gaze.
He was very loyal to his family ever since his parents passed away when he was young. Over the years,
he would try his best to accomplish every single one of the tasks that Granny Quinn and Malcolm had
asked him to.
However, he never thought that his grandmother would give up on him when he got in trouble, and his
cousin-brother would taunt him for this.
Seeing the look of despair on Hunter’s face,
Malcolm cackled and continued, ”Hunter, you’ve indeed done plenty of things for our family over the
years, but that doesn’t mean you’re competent. You were the one who landed yourself in this trouble at
the beginning.
”Do you think I wouldn’t have noticed that you gave me a fake baby after accidentally losing Joshua and
Luna’s?
”Also, the reason you were caught this time was that you couldn’t control your urge, so don’t blame us for
being heartless when it was all your fault in the first place.”
With that, he let out a sigh and said, ”Although, on the bright side, it might be a good thing that you
landed yourself in jail.
”Granny is getting old now, and she needs someone to help her now that she’s incapable of doing most
things by herself. My father has left the family, and you’re stuck in jail…”
Malcolm let out a triumphant grin. ”It seems that it won’t be long until I’m needed again.”
Hunter could not help chuckling when he saw the prideful look on Malcolm’s face. ”Do you honestly think
you’re Granny’s only choice? Well, if so, you’re wrong.
”She has a godson named Quentin.”
Malcolm furrowed his brows. ”A godson? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
Hunter sneered. ”Well, you’ve never gotten your hands dirty for her, so of course you’ve never heard of
this name before.”
All these years, every time Granny Quinn was unsatisfied about the quality of the dirty work Hunter did
for her, she would bring out Quentin and use it to compare with him.
According to his understanding of Granny Quinn, she would rather summon Quentin back to help her
than anything else.
If that happened, it would be chaos…
”Hunter, I know you’re finding it hard to accept my impending return to the Quinn family, but you don’t
have to make up an imaginary character to trick me.”
Malcolm did not believe him at all. He stood up, snickering, and said, ”Initially, I had wanted to help you
buy out the prison guards so your life here will be a little more bearable, but considering how
jealous you are, I don’t think my effort will be worth it.”
With that, he turned and left.
Hunter narrowed his eyes as he watched Malcolm leave.
After Malcolm left, Officer Wilson strode into the visitation room. ”I guess it’s time you come clean with
the truth now that we’ve satisfied your request?”
Hunter chuckled.
