Chapter 219: Chapter 219
But, Quinn Lockwood actually seduced Ariana Lynch’s fiancé. Ariana Lynch is not someone to be trifled with, despite her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor.
Anna has been navigating the entertainment industry for years. She naturally knows that those female stars, no matter how glamorous they appear on the surface, are often scheming underneath.
Moreover, Ariana Lynch is the precious daughter that the chairman of the Lockwood Group struggled to find. If Quinn Lockwood dares to seduce her fiancé, and the company issues a statement on her behalf, the Lockwood Group might be displeased.
Quinn Lockwood stood at the bathroom door with a confused expression after Anna hung up the phone. If she knew what Anna was thinking, she would probably clutch her stomach laughing uncontrollably.
Do they really think the Lockwood Group has nothing better to do than concern itself with a minor celebrity and a small entertainment company?
Not issuing a statement to clear her name is truly to her detriment!
There was no need to even open X; several trending news notifications about Quinn Lockwood popped up directly on her phone.
At the moment she saw the headlines, Quinn Lockwood’s face suddenly grew serious.
"The popular actress Savannah Lowell as the third party."
"Savannah Lowell: promiscuous and involved with multiple partners."
"Executive from a certain group rumored to be intimately involved with Savannah Lowell."
Damn, what is all this nonsense?
Quickly logging into X, Quinn Lockwood clicked on several headlines and finally understood why Anna had such a strong reaction.
Numerous marketing accounts and influential members were frantically reposting a piece of news about Quinn Lockwood seducing Ariana Lynch’s fiancé, Jonah Hansen, along with several photos of them having a meal together. There were even photos of Jonah Hansen supporting Quinn Lockwood to a hotel that night.
Wasn’t this the photo Quinn Lockwood hired someone to take at the hotel entrance?
Besides that person and Ariana Lynch, no one else had seen this photo.
"Ha." Quinn Lockwood couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. It seemed the instigator of this incident had been found.
Ariana Lynch never let anyone know about her relationship with Jonah Hansen, yet to suppress me, she didn’t care about his reputation and even exposed their relationship.
Tsk, tsk, what an honor indeed.
Quinn Lockwood smirked, collapsed onto the sofa, and continued scrolling through the trending topics.
"Oh my!" As soon as Quinn Lockwood lay down, she sat up in shock.
The following article glaringly stated: Savannah Lowell disregards decency, ’sells herself’ to two high-level group executives!
Swallowing hard twice, Quinn Lockwood saw the article was accompanied by photos of her sitting in the passenger seat of Elias Sinclair’s car and shopping with Cameron Grant.
The article’s gist stated that Quinn Lockwood’s rise from an insignificant little star to a top actress was due to being kept by these two business moguls.
However, since Elias Sinclair and Cameron Grant were both prominent figures in the business world, they certainly couldn’t allow their mistress to be supported by someone else. The article’s author then analyzed who exactly was keeping Quinn Lockwood and even launched a poll at the end of the piece. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel✶fire.net
Moreover, some small accounts and hired trolls dug out the past relationship between the photographer of the Diamond Series, Ethan, and Elias Sinclair, claiming they were close friends. This revelation stirred quite the commotion once released.
It seems Quinn Lockwood was involved with a major player from The Sinclair Group from the very beginning. No wonder she first got an exclusive shoot with Dynasty Style and then resources and scripts from The Sinclair Group continuously flowed in.
"Disgusting. Despite everything, she still seduces someone’s fiancé. I reckon it’s all for money and resources."
"This Mr. Hansen is also an executive at Lockwood Group. You have to admit Savannah Lowell has a real eye for picking people—they’re both wealthy and handsome."
"Unfollowing, unfollowing. I can’t believe I was so blind as to be a fan of such a disgusting person."
Since the release of the photos, Quinn Lockwood’s popularity plummeted. Besides a few veteran fans from the Dreamlike Dance era who remained neutral, almost all new fans unfollowed her, and some product companies even terminated their contracts with her.
Furrowing her brows tightly together, Quinn Lockwood locked her phone’s screen and tossed it aside.
Even if the sky falls, Quinn Lockwood is not afraid!
The next morning, after a brief tidy-up, Quinn Lockwood headed to the crew as usual. However, soon after leaving, she was pointed at by some people.
"Hey, hey, isn’t that the homewrecker?"
"Isn’t that the kept mistress Savannah Lowell? How can she still have the face to leave her house?"
At that moment, Quinn Lockwood felt something flash in front of her, and then with a bang, she felt a pain on her head.
Someone had thrown a half-empty bottle of water at her head. The weight and inertia made Quinn Lockwood involuntarily cry out from the pain.
"Hit her, knock down the homewrecker!" More and more people gathered around Quinn Lockwood, some excited ones throwing various objects at her.
Feeling an icy sticky sensation on her chest, Quinn Lockwood looked down to see a large chunk of half-melted ice cream stuck to the front of her blouse.
Seeing the crowd pressing closer, throwing things and taking pictures, Quinn Lockwood furrowed her brows tightly. At first retreating, when her eyes caught sight of a narrow alley around the corner, she quickly took off her high heels and ran toward it.
Luckily, most of the crowd was just there to see the drama and didn’t actually chase after her. After running about a few hundred meters, Quinn Lockwood leaned against the wall in the alley, her expression growing more serious.
Her clothes were dirty, her hair was messed up, and her feet were blistered. Clearly, she wouldn’t make it to the crew. Feeling a bit worn out, she leaned against the wall to put her high heels back on and then phoned the crew to inform the director she couldn’t make it to the shoot today.
However, the reaction on the other end of the call took Quinn Lockwood by surprise.
"Savannah Lowell? The crew has no more scenes for you. Yesterday, your agent called to cancel your schedule." The crew’s person in charge was evidently surprised to receive a call from Quinn Lockwood.
After all, Quinn Lockwood was on the verge of being blacklisted; no artist could face such big exposure and continue seamlessly in the entertainment industry.
"I’m sorry, I forgot. Thank you, Ms. Sutton." Quinn Lockwood maintained a polite and steady tone.
After hanging up the phone, Quinn Lockwood’s small face suddenly turned cold as if she were the Queen of Hearts with a poker face.
Putting her hoodie on, Quinn Lockwood returned to the hotel, only to find numerous photos and posters stuck to her hotel room door.
"Homewrecker, get out of the entertainment industry."
"Bitch Savannah Lowell ruins relationships, deserves a bad end."
The black-and-white photos combined with the blood-red writing startled Quinn Lockwood, causing her body to pause momentarily.
