Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1721
To Hunter’s disappointment, Granny Quinn did not come to see him at all.
Instead, the person sitting in front of him was a sneering Malcolm.
”You, too, have become a useless pawn,” Malcolm said, cackling. ”Granny gave me money yesterday, and in exchange, I will have to come to visit you today, so I guess you know what that means, right?
”I can’t believe that yesterday, I had even told you that you’d one day become the successor of the Quinn family. What a surprise!”
Hunter stared at Malcolm with an expression so cold that it was as though he would kill him at any moment.
Feeling the hatred in Hunter’s gaze, Malcolm let out an exhale and shifted into a comfortable position in his chair. ”I know why you asked Granny for help: You want her to help you get out of this predicament, don’t you?
”However, since she has told me to come in her stead without any further instructions, I’m guessing she has no intention of getting you out of here.
”However, if you beg me, I might be able to help you.”
Hunter narrowed his eyes. ”Will you do that if I really beg you?”
Malcolm curled his lips into a smirk. ”Of course…”
He inched closer to Hunter and said in a low voice, ”Of course I won’t.
”How can someone that was kicked out of the Quinn family and has no connections or money whatsoever help you break out of jail?”
Hunter narrowed his eyes, despair clouding his gaze.
He was very loyal to his family ever since his parents passed away when he was young. Over the years, he would try his best to accomplish every single one of the tasks that Granny Quinn and Malcolm had asked him to.
However, he never thought that his grandmother would give up on him when he got in trouble, and his cousin-brother would taunt him for this.
Seeing the look of despair on Hunter’s face,
Malcolm cackled and continued, ”Hunter, you’ve indeed done plenty of things for our family over the years, but that doesn’t mean you’re competent. You were the one who landed yourself in this trouble at the beginning.
”Do you think I wouldn’t have noticed that you gave me a fake baby after accidentally losing Joshua and Luna’s?
”Also, the reason you were caught this time was that you couldn’t control your urge, so don’t blame us for being heartless when it was all your fault in the first place.”
With that, he let out a sigh and said, ”Although, on the bright side, it might be a good thing that you landed yourself in jail.
”Granny is getting old now, and she needs someone to help her now that she’s incapable of doing most things by herself. My father has left the family, and you’re stuck in jail…”
Malcolm let out a triumphant grin. ”It seems that it won’t be long until I’m needed again.”
Hunter could not help chuckling when he saw the prideful look on Malcolm’s face. ”Do you honestly think you’re Granny’s only choice? Well, if so, you’re wrong.
”She has a godson named Quentin.”
Malcolm furrowed his brows. ”A godson? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
Hunter sneered. ”Well, you’ve never gotten your hands dirty for her, so of course you’ve never heard of this name before.”
All these years, every time Granny Quinn was unsatisfied about the quality of the dirty work Hunter did for her, she would bring out Quentin and use it to compare with him.
According to his understanding of Granny Quinn, she would rather summon Quentin back to help her than anything else.
If that happened, it would be chaos…
”Hunter, I know you’re finding it hard to accept my impending return to the Quinn family, but you don’t have to make up an imaginary character to trick me.”
Malcolm did not believe him at all. He stood up, snickering, and said, ”Initially, I had wanted to help you buy out the prison guards so your life here will be a little more bearable, but considering how
jealous you are, I don’t think my effort will be worth it.”
With that, he turned and left.
Hunter narrowed his eyes as he watched Malcolm leave.
After Malcolm left, Officer Wilson strode into the visitation room. ”I guess it’s time you come clean with the truth now that we’ve satisfied your request?”
Hunter chuckled.
