Zachary considered all possibilities and ultimately decided to play it safe. If what Aaron said came true, he would be the one facing the consequences.
He cautiously said to Aaron, "Mr. Lucas, as much as I'd like to help you, what makes you think I can get your son out when you can't even do it?"
Aaron snorted inwardly. That was not what he said earlier, but since he was willing to help, he had no complaints.
"If I'm not mistaken, your eldest daughter is the reason Timothy can't get out. If you talk to her, maybe she'll let him go."
Zachary was bewildered. He knew what Lucy was like. How could a faint-hearted woman like her do such a thing? However, since Aaron thought so, it would not hurt to try. Eventually, he agreed and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Lucy was still approving documents in the office. Little did she know, she would find herself jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
If she did, she would have relocated her company so that none of her family members or anyone else could find her. Every single day, they would buzz relentlessly around her like pesky mosquitoes. She was sick and tired of them. Unfortunately, Lucy had no idea of what was to come.
That afternoon, an uninvited guest came to her office. Lucy frowned at the sight of her father and spoke to him coldly, “Dad, why are you here?"
In her head, she was thinking, 'How is it that anyone and everyone is allowed in my office? Were the receptionists and security guards at the front door useless?'
It seemed like she would have to give them a good talking-to later. Otherwise, she would have Matthew replace all of them. Seeing all these people entering and leaving he` company at will was driving her crazy.

He recalled the situation of his company and considered the value his eldest daughter could bring to him and his company.
Without even acknowledging how he mistreated Lucy, he was now thinking of exploiting her for his own benefit. It was like wanting rewards without the labor.
"Lucy, I heard from Mr. Lucas that Timothy got into trouble because of you, so you should get him out right now."
Lucy listened to his commanding tone, looking absolutely speechless.
She rolled her eyes and replied, "I didn't put him in jail. If you want answers, you can ask him yourself."
Zachary frowned. The older his daughter got, the more disobedient she became. She was already rebellious enough, but he did not expect her to be this bad.
He could not stop himself from yelling at her. "How could you say that? Do you think that just because you're all grown up, you don't have to listen to me anymore?"

of him to say those words. If she had not discovered the fact that she was not the daughter of the Quinn family, she would still be in the dark right now.
Although they were the ones who raised her, Lucy could honestly say that in all her years of being in the Quinn family, she had never received proper
care.
At most, they had just provided her
with a home until she was old
enough Lucy believed that her efforts in the past few years had already paid off everything she owed them.
