There's been a big buzz in Kingstown these past couple of days, and many are discussing it over tea and meals:
"Have you heard? The Quinn Family is hosting a banquet this Saturday, inviting various celebrities, and the upper circles are all buzzing about it."
"Is it the Quinn Family Head who's rumored to be recovering abroad? I've heard he's frail and sickly, ugly, and has a violent temperament."
"Yes, that's him. Just a few days ago, I was drinking with the third young master of the Harrington Family, and he said that Mrs. Harrington was cursing this Quinn Family Head as a bastard."
"Why is that?"
"Why? Because this Quinn Family Head is ruthless. Do you know the inside story about Master Frederick's death? It's related to him, and Mason Quinn's disappearance is also connected to him. He might have been quietly killed already. Even Mrs. Quinn is now reportedly imprisoned in the hospital with no visitors allowed."
"What? So no one knows if Mrs. Quinn is alive or dead?"
