Billionaire's Regret: Losing Me And Our Son - Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Quinn was obviously stunned.
Even Raelynn was surprised by my decision. She called out softly, "Ms. Hinton..."
Quinn keenly sensed my change in mood and found an excuse for Raelynn to leave first. Raelynn nodded and left my office.
Looking at me, Quinn sighed and explained softly, "I'm not blaming you."
Close up, I studied Quinn. I had been separated from Quinn since the night before I went to Sea City. His facial features were as familiar as before. They were very handsome, and his deep eyes were especially memorable.
"I'll think of a way to deal with the Dazzling Project. Relax. I'm here with you, okay?" Quinn told me.
I knew in my heart that this matter was very troublesome. As the wrong party, the losses the Madden Group faced were small. After all, anything that could be resolved with money was not a problem.
However, the progress of the Dazzling Project affected the Madden Group's reputation and status in the industry.
Sometimes, a small mistake would bring about a devastating blow. If the reputation was affected, it would cause the stock market to fall...
Apart from that, I had never been given any preferential treatment at work because of our marriage.
I always thought that I had my own ability and career, but when I thought of the pressure Quinn would undergo to help me clean up the aftermath, I felt a sense of defeat.
Moreover, I was still confused about the relationship between Quinn and Clarissa. Now facing his goodwill, I had mixed feelings.
"This matter isn't as simple as it looks. I don't want to cause you trouble." I looked at him for a long time before finally lowering my eyes and saying in a soft voice.
Before I could finish my sentence, Quinn's phone rang. It was close enough for me to see the number on the phone screen. It was the landline number of the Madden Mansion.
"Let me take this call first." Quinn patted my shoulder gently and took his phone to the window to answer the call.
Actually, I knew very well what the purpose of this call was. It was nothing more than related to the Dazzling Project.
Joseph and Tina were always pervasive. It was rare for them to have something on me this time, so they would definitely not let it go easily.
The facts once again confirmed my speculation. Quinn returned to my side after answering the call and said truthfully, "We'll have dinner at the Madden Mansion tonight. You don't have to think too much. I'll be with you at all times."
"Okay." I nodded.
That night, Quinn and I returned to the Madden Mansion.
The atmosphere during the meal was not very good. I expected Joseph to make a fuss and use the Dazzling Project to target me, but I didn't expect him to add fuel to the fire and inform Alex about this.
"I'm sure you know what the Dazzling Project means to the Madden Group," Alex looked at me and said coldly.
I nodded and didn't mention Gemma. Since things had already come to this point, there was no point in explaining.
Joseph and Tina made things difficult for me again.
"Dad, I heard that Natalia made a mistake this time. It seems to be related to a person called Gemma. Moreover, Gemma was involved in the kidnapping of Natalia!" Tina pretended to be extremely shocked and asked me deliberately, "Natalia, is it true?"
Joseph frowned and muttered, "Gemma? That name sounds familiar. I think I've heard it mentioned by the HR department. She doesn't have many qualifications and was internally recommended to join the Madden Group."
I instantly understood their intentions. Just as I was about to explain, Quinn grabbed my hand.
