Anything For Her

Chapter 716 Quivering Voice

“No. It didn't go over the line. She's just too fragile.”

In the meantime, Greta attempted to locate Charles at his workplace. Despite repeatedly calling him, none of her

calls were ever answered by him.

In desperation, she went to the top floor of his company building and threatened to jump off, thinking that Charles

would have no choice but to meet her if she did so.

As anticipated, Greta's actions caught the attention of the employees of Quigley Group, who quickly alerted Charles

that someone was attempting to jump off the building.

Upon receiving the news, Charles furrowed his brows tightly. Recently, the Quigley family had been under scrutiny

due to Yvette, and now this incident occurred.

He then personally headed to the top floor. Charles didn't expect to see Greta there.

“You finally agreed to meet me. I thought you would never want to see me again in your life!”

Greta's face was filled with excitement.

Charles snickered. So, it's her. I suspect that she wouldn't voluntarily choose to jump off the building. It seems like

she's doing it to manipulate me into giving in to her demands.

“Have you had enough? If yes, come here now!” Charles demanded coldly.

Greta refused to give in to Charles' tone. “Why are you talking to me like this? You wanted to be with me before!

How can you treat me like this now?”

Greta cried pitifully.

“Charles, do you believe that I love you dearly?” Greta stressed her deep affection for Charles.

“Listen, Greta. I'll give you till the count of three to come here,” Charles said, his patience running thin. He had no

feelings for Greta and didn't want to waste more time on her.

“I won't come down unless you promise to be with me again. Otherwise, I'll jump. Believe me.”

Charles was speechless after hearing that.

Throughout his life, he despised being threatened by others.

Who the heck does she think she is, making threats like this?

“If you have a death wish, I will be unreasonable if I try to stop you from achieving it. So, do as you please.”

Charles then decided to leave.

Despite the issues the Quigley family had been facing lately, he remained indifferent.

Greta stared at Charles' leaving figure with disbelief.

“Were you never in love with me, Charles?” Greta asked, figuring he would only be so cruel to her if he had never

loved her.

Unfortunately, Charles wouldn't reply to her question.

“Everyone else, leave! If she has a death wish, no one can stop her.” Charles was always a cold and ruthless

person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be changing girlfriends every month.

Initially, Charles believed that Greta was his perfect match, but the reality proved otherwise.

Finding someone he loved from the bottom of his heart was not an easy feat.

Greta collapsed to the ground. Is he really going to leave me alone? Is it worth jumping for a man like him?

When Charles had given her a chance to change her mind earlier, she had refused. Now, with the employees

around, Greta didn't know what excuse to make to save herself from embarrassment.

“Miss, please come down! I must remind you that our CEO would never tolerate anyone threatening him. Moreover,

he can handle the consequences if you choose to jump today!”

Honestly, one person's death wouldn't cause any ripples toward Quigley Group.

In the end, Greta descended from the top floor and left dejectedly.

She couldn't understand why she always ended up with these sc*mbags. All she wanted was to find a wealthy

boyfriend.

Is it wrong to have such a wish?

Winter had returned. After walking out of the airport and taking in Jipsdale's air which had been familiar to her, she

told herself she wouldn't leave again, and from now on, she would stay here forever.

Charles went to pick her up. When he noticed that she was much slimmer than before, he couldn't help feeling a

sting in his heart.

“Everything's fine now. It's good that you're back. Grandpa is waiting for you!” If it weren't for Walter falling ill this

time, Tristan wouldn't have given way and allowed her to come back.

“After what happened, you should understand it now. No matter what you do, it's useless. So don't do anything and

be Ms. Winter of the Quigley family. It's better than doing anything else.”

“I know, Charles. Don't worry! I know clearly what I should do.”

Seeing Winter in such a condition, Charles didn't feel reassured by her words.

“Winter, just in case you blame me for not reminding you, do you remember the daughter of the Whitley family?

The Whitley family ended up disappearing because she offended Sophie.”

Though Tristan might not treat the Quigley family the same way, there was no doubt that he didn't have feelings for

Winter.

“Let's go home, Charles! I'm tired.”

Having been alone in a foreign country for so long, she didn't want to dwell on those thoughts now that she was

back.

Regarding Sophie, Winter decided to put it aside for now. After all, it is impossible for Tristan to protect her for the

rest of her life, right?

Charles felt speechless as he realized his sister wasn't taking his words seriously.

Winter had been spoiled since childhood, which led to her current personality. Hence, no one could do anything to

stop her from doing things she wanted.

Since he was the one who brought her home, he felt responsible for arranging a few people to keep an eye on her

and prevent her from pulling any tricks in the future.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Walter immediately asked Winter to head over after spotting Winter's return.

“You must have suffered a lot when you're overseas! Look at how skinny you've become. Take a good rest at home

now that you're back. In a few days, I'll have your mother find some good suitors for you, and we'll meet them.”

Although Tristan was a good man, he harbored no fondness for Winter.

Feelings were something no one could control in this world.

Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Winter shook her head.

“Grandpa, I don't feel like being in a relationship right now. Let's not discuss this at the moment. I want to stay by

your side and keep you company for now.”

Walter grabbed her hand.

“Worry not, my dear. I am perfectly fine. Just stay here in peace. I won't let them take you away again,” Walter

reassured Winter.

A smile finally appeared on Winter's face after hearing this.

“I know you love me the most, Grandpa!”

Exactly! Sophie has no support, but I do. The Quigley family is there for me, but she has no one else to rely on

except Mr. Tristan. And men, especially those in this circle, would never love the same person for a lifetime.

Fate could be so delicate at times. The two, who had not seen each other for a long time, finally crossed paths, and

upon seeing Sophie and how well Tristan took care of her, Winter felt an intense pain in her heart.

He is the one and only Tristan Lombard!

Throughout his life, countless girls who appeared beside him had vied for his affection, but he had always remained

aloof and even disdainful toward them.

However, Sophie was an exception. Whenever she was around, his gaze was fixed solely on her. This kind of love

drew envy from others.

“Mr. Tristan, I'm back.” Winter's voice quivered as she once again met the man she had loved her whole life.
