NovelBookAlessia scrolled further down the page. Someone had already compiled a spreadsheet listing every one of the
Quincy family’s forged works over the years. But as for the third trending topic, she couldn't muster up any
interest.
The Quincy family’s influence simply wasn’t strong enough to stir up much online debate. Most of the
commentary revolved around parenting and children’s sports days, not the family itself.
Getting this topic trending wasn’t really about starting a public discussion-it was meant for people in the know.
No one who’d made it this far in the art world was foolish; once they realized the Quincys had duped them, any
business relationship would be over for good.
As for the Quincys’ paintings and auctioned pieces-whether anyone would still buy them was questionable. At
any reputable art exhibition or design firm, the family’s nwas now untouchable.
They'd grabbed the Quincys by the throat. Even if the family could still wriggle, their fate was sealed: all they
could do now was watch themselves slide toward ruin.
By the end of that night, the Quincys were truly infamous-just not in the way they'd ever wanted.
Speople, Alessia thought, definitely wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.
She set her phone down on the desk and stepped out to deal with her two little ones.

barely daring to breathe for fear they'd bechis next target.
The adults could keep themselves in check, but the children were another

Tammie squirmed restlessly in his mother’s grasp, unable to keep still for even a moment. Hamilton's face was
thunderous, but the boy seemed
unfazed.
Tammie’s mother clamped a hand over his mouth, but he was a noisy, spoiled child and wouldn't be silenced. He
whined that he wanted to go to bed, complained that his legs hurt from standing so long, and
at demanded that Hamilton pick him up.
His mother’s face flushed with embarrassment, but all she could do was clutch his hand tightly.
The crying and fussing grated on Hamilton's already frayed nerves.
“Enough!” he snapped. “All this crying and whining-this mess the Quincys are in is your fault!” He shot Tammie a
glare, all trace of affection gone, replaced by cold disgust.
Tammie was stunned. His grandfather had always treated him like a treasure; he'd never seen Hamilton look at
him like this.
He shrank back, wide-eyed and confused, unable to understand what he'd done wrong. The next second, his lip
trembled, and he broke free from his mother, collapsing onto the floor and wailing in earnest.
Kicking his legs and howling at the top of his lungs, he made everyone's ears ring-and sent a fresh spike of pain
throbbing through Hamilton's temples.

Tammie couldn’t understand. The grandfather who'd always adored him-why was he suddenly like this? In the
past, a single tear would have brought Hamilton running to comfort him.
The thought made Tammie cry even harder.
