Chapter 1217
Mrs. Fay hadn't expected Quincy to be so determined. She decided it was tto lay everything out clearly.
"Quincy, if you were a parent, given the choice between someone already successful and someone still trying to
make it, who would you choose?"
"I'd choose the former," Quincy replied honestly. "But Mrs. Fay, I'm asking for a chance. I'm not just saimless
dreamer." He sat upright, his posture radiating confidence and resolve.
He was impressive, handsome, articulate, with the demeanor of a true professional. His presence alone reflected
his tspent working alongside Nash.
No matter how capable Quincy was, he couldn't measure up to Nash. Nash had the entire York family behind
him, along with the powerful connections from Nina's father and his own influential background.
Even though Nash deeply trusted Quincy and valued his contributions, Quincy was still just an assistant. There

Quincy, for his part, would never betray Nash. Even if he started his own business, he wouldn't do anything to
compete with or harm Nash.
But the Fays had their sights set on becoming the top family in Birkham. Quincy, without the necessary
connections or influence, just didn't fit their idea of a suitable son-in-law.
They weren't about to invest in Quincy's future or hand over their assets, only to risk it becoming an extension of
the York Corporation.
Mrs. Fay hadn't intended to be harsh, but she saw no other way. She spoke coolly, "What do you have besides
love? You've worked hard at the York Corporation, but my daughter has been raised in wealth and privilege. Our
family's status far exceeds yours." She continued, her tone firm, "If you don't give up, then her father and I will
have no choice but to take more drastic measures."
Quincy's brows furrowed deeply. He had faced all kinds of challenges over the years, especially during the five
years when Nash was away. He had seen it all.
Drastic measures meant they were prepared to forcibly break them apart, causing pain to everyone involved.
But to give up now would be to admit their love wasn't strong enough to endure. Quincy wasn't willing to let it go
so easily. "Mrs.
Fay, | understand that you donet
approve of me. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to prove myself. Tellwhat | need to do"
Mrs. Fay raised her hand, stopping him mid-sentence. "What you choose to do is your business. My husband and
| aren't interested in watching your performance.
Someone, show him out!"
At her signal, a staff stepped forward, ready to escort Quincy out.

In Birkham, Quincy was well-respected, his reputation preceding him wherever he went. But here, in the Fay
household, he was shown no respect at all.
Quincy didn't wait to be escorted out and he left on his own.
Seeing Quincy dismissed so harshly made Lydia furious. The moment he left, she confronted her mother.
"Quincy is a person, Mom. A good one. He's worked hard for everything he has. What gives you the right to look
down on him? What gives you the right to treat him like that?"
Mrs. Fay was stunned. She had
thought Lydia's tat the York
Corporation was just a phase, something to experience before settling down. She hadn't expected her daughter
to develop genuine feelings.
But Mrs. Fay didn't feel the need to justify herself. "Why? Because this is our home, that's why!"
It was their home, their territory, and that meant they had the power to send Quincy away, no explanations
needed.
