PopularNovelChapter 1289 Abigail shot Orion a dirty look. "Zip it. Just hearing you talk is drivingnuts." "You..." Oliver cut in, "Alright, enough bickering. Let's move." Orion glared back at Abigail, then glanced at Quinn. She hadn't said a peep since she showed up, which meant she was in a seriously bad mood. So, Orion wisely kept his mouth shut, not wanting to tick her off more. They got on the plane without a hitch, with Maria and Quinn both staring out the window.
As the plane took off, the city below got smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing behind the clouds.
The past few days felt like a wild dream. If it weren't for the dirt and wood carvings in her arms, Quinn would've thought it was all in her head.
If only she hadn't left Las Veges back then.

Quinn was supposed to head back to Amber Bay, but Abigail insisted she tag along, so she went with Maria and Casey. The street was old, with run-down houses. Shad been fixed up into buildings, while others were just ruins.
The mix of old and new buildings was striking. Tall buildings loomed over the old houses, like grown kids looking after their elderly parents.
The place was pretty deserted, with only a few old folks shuffling by.
Maria's house was an old, leaning two-story mud-brick place, looking like it could collapse any second. The rusty door lock opened with just a gentle pull.
Maria hadn't been back in twenty years; the place was unrecognizable.
Her eyes scanned every inch of the house, tears welling up as if she was seeing it as it used to be, filled with regret and guilt.
Her family shouldn't have ended up like this.
Orion didn't know the whole story, but seeing her face, he felt a pang of sadness.
Quinn stepped outside; she couldn't watch anymore, it reminded her too much of the Mellon family's downfall. Abigail followed her out, sighing. "Life's pretty wild, huh?" Quinn's fingers traced the wood carving in her arms, and she murmured, "Yeah." "Want to go somewhere else?" Abigail asked.
Quinn shook her head. "I want to go back to Amber Bay." Abigail was quiet for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll get Oliver to set it up." She went back inside and told Oliver, who nodded and took them to the airport, aiming to get back to Amber Bay before dark.

Quinn hadn't seen Amber Bay in ages. It looked the same, yet totally different. Abigail went with her to Regal Riverside, where Olivia opened the door.
The moment Olivia saw Quinn, her eyes went wide.
"Mrs. Kennedy?" she stammered, looking like she didn't know what to do.
Quinn hadn't expected Olivia to still be there. She nodded.
"You're alive?" Olivia asked, swallowing nervously and looking at ve her like she'd seen a ghost. Quinn replied, "Yeah. I'm alive."
Olivia still couldn't believe it.
Someone missing for over two years suddenly showing up alive? If Abigail wasn't there, she would've thought she was seeing things. She quickly opened the door to let Quinn in. "Con in."
