Rebirth of the Movie Queen: Mrs. Sinclair, Please Hug Me! Chapter 359: Agreed to Clarify

"You’re lying, why?" Quinn Lockwood frowned, puzzled why Linda would refuse her.

She had just helped him drive away the debt collectors, and judging by his earlier attitude, he was genuinely grateful, not pretending.

Why wouldn’t he be willing to help clear up a simple misunderstanding?

"Even if I witnessed it that day, if I spoke out, no one would believe . I’m inconsequential and have no standing in the group."

Linda clasped her hands together, her gaze evasively fixed on the floor, her voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

Quinn Lockwood was nearly frantic. She strode forward, standing before Linda, gripping her shoulders to make her look at her: "Linda, you must have seen the trending news about these past two days, right?"

"This matter clearly has nothing to do with , yet I’m bearing the bla for soone else and being cursed online. You’re a girl too; you must understand how it feels to be humiliated like this."

"If you were , and the incident got out today, people outside would say you deserved it, saying you deliberately seduced them!"

Quinn Lockwood’s little face was twisted with emotion. Had she been even a touch more fragile, she might have ended up pleading tearfully with Linda.

Linda stared blankly at Quinn Lockwood’s face, recalling how she fearlessly stood up to those n, and a sudden pang of sadness hit her heart.

Feels like she finally got a glimpse of her situation.

Indeed, they were both girls, just like she was almost violated by those debt-collecting n; she was the victim, yet she had to bear the bla and endure everyone’s insults as if she deserved it.

"Alright." Linda hesitated for a long ti but eventually nodded, taking a deep breath, her expression sowhat unnatural.

Quinn Lockwood felt significantly relieved after leaving Linda’s place.

If all went smoothly, she would soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Caron, I have sothing to ask you." Quinn Lockwood looked up at the sky, then shifted her gaze back to Caron Grant.

"Go ahead, little one, I’m more than willing." Caron Grant smiled gently, his voice soothing and clean.

A slight curve appeared on Quinn Lockwood’s lips as she slowly spoke: "The entry pass for the Morden Fashion red carpet show two days from now."

"Yesterday, their person in charge canceled my entry pass, but due to this incident, I intend to clear things up at this show."

"After all, there is no notice of any similar large-scale event in the country recently, and this matter of mine really can’t be postponed any longer."

Caron Grant listened attentively to Quinn Lockwood’s plan and nodded seriously.

"No problem, I’ll organize the arrangents and other matters related to the show into a docunt for you."

"So, do you want to stay at ho today? If you’re at ho, it’ll be easier for us to discuss the show arrangents." Caron Grant looked at Quinn Lockwood with warmth and a hint of cautious expectation.

Quinn Lockwood suddenly fell silent. After pondering for a mont, she nodded and said: "I’ll go back. After the red carpet show, I’ll return to The Sinclair Family."

Caron Grant’s clear eyes montarily chilled, but his mouth curved up with a warm, clean smile.

Mr. Lowell and Mrs. Lowell were abroad attending a family alliance engagent dinner, so they weren’t at ho.

After Caron Grant and Quinn Lockwood finished their simple al, they began discussing the plan for the red carpet show.

Caron Grant managed to secure Quinn Lockwood a position towards the end of the show, which could both showcase her status and provide an opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding at a captivating mont.

"Don’t worry, Savannah, everything will go smoothly." Caron Grant ruffled Quinn Lockwood’s hair, his clear eyes full of tenderness.

"You’ve been watching for so long, you should rest. I’ll review the remaining parts and tell you about it tomorrow, okay?"

"Rest assured, I’ll handle everything. You just need to stand behind ."

Caron Grant looked at Quinn Lockwood warmly, his enchanting almond-shaped eyes filled with captivating hues, his soft-toned voice giving the sensation of lying on cotton.

Quinn Lockwood t his gaze, almost losing herself in that spring-water-like tenderness.

"I’m okay; I can’t always have you protect like this, otherwise, your little sister-in-law might get jealous in the future." Quinn Lockwood quickly shifted her gaze. Although she vaguely understood Caron Grant’s true intentions, she chose to avoid amplifying such feelings.

Things were genuinely fine now, and if it turned out she was overthinking, it would be quite awkward.

Caron Grant’s smile froze montarily upon hearing Quinn Lockwood’s words but quickly recovered.

He turned on the bedside lamp, lifted the quilt for Quinn Lockwood to lie down.

"Good girl, go to sleep. I’ll stay here for a while to look over the files, and I’ll leave once you’re asleep."

Quinn Lockwood was indeed a bit sleepy. Listening to Caron Grant’s soothing voice, akin to the llow sound of a guqin, her eyelids began to feel heavy.

Indeed, in front of Caron Grant, Quinn Lockwood was like a child who needed to be cared for and coaxed.

Quinn Lockwood hesitated but seeing Caron Grant holding the quilt waiting for her, she didn’t have the heart to refuse or make him wait unnecessarily.

"Alright then, Caron. You should rest early too." Quinn Lockwood lay down, gently smiling at Caron Grant.

"Sleep well, good night." Caron Grant took the file from Quinn Lockwood’s hand, and once she lay down, tenderly pulled the quilt over her.

Quinn Lockwood felt disoriented and uneasy with Caron Grant staying in the room while she slept.

Every now and then, she opened her eyes a bit to check on Caron Grant, observing his focused analysis of file contents, scolding herself internally.

Quinn Lockwood, don’t let your thoughts run wild.

With the rustling sound as fingers brushed over paper, Quinn Lockwood drifted into a deep sleep.

Caron Grant sat by the bed, flipping through the remaining files, unaware that it was already late at night.

After closing the file folder and placing it on the bedside table, Caron Grant looked at the sleeping Quinn Lockwood, whose cheeks had a slight blush, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Seems like he’s completely sunk in.

Although he knew she was married to Elias Sinclair, Caron Grant knew Quinn Lockwood was not happy or content.

Caron Grant still clearly rembers the first ti she called him brother when she returned ho.

That ti, she seed startled by his surprised look, and her bright and sunny smile was frozen on her face for quite a while.

Although Quinn Lockwood now always seed cheerful, Caron Grant never saw a smile as natural and comforting as that day again.

"Good night." Caron Grant gently stroked Quinn Lockwood’s cheek and bent down, leaving a light kiss on her cheek.
