章 209: More Than Enough to Support You

Blame it all on the Louises' insatiable greed.

They wanted to exploit her social connections and have her serve as a shield for Joe and Naomi.

But she was Cynthia Shannon!

The heiress of the wealthiest Quinn family in San Heith!

How could she be used so easily?

"I'm different from them."

Facing Tristan's sudden words, Cynthia looked at him in confusion.

Tristan extended a finger, lifting her chin. The distinct joints of his fingers touched the corner of her lips. "I love you, and I will never covet anything on you."

Cynthia's eyelashes trembled lightly, and she controlled her voice, saying softly, "I know."

"You don't know," Tristan said, "Otherwise, how could you be so calm?"

His words implied that she should show some response.

A hint of a smile flashed in Cynthia's eyes. She reached out, hooking her arm around the man's neck, and kissed his lips.
