Chapter 239: Chapter 239
Although Quinn Lockwood forced her brother to marry her using some underhanded tactics, it was only because she truly loved him.
Aside from being somewhat arrogant when she first arrived at The Sinclair Family, she hasn’t done anything else too excessive. The only thing I disliked was that she took away the love of Grandpa and my brother...
Moreover, she has changed significantly for quite a while now. Maybe it’s because she’s been through a lot, or perhaps my brother likes her?
Quinn Lockwood is indeed gentle, kind, and understanding, much better than Savannah Lowell.
Nina Sinclair increasingly feels that her previous actions were quite excessive and childish, almost laughable. She feels guilt towards Quinn Lockwood, and has even accepted her as her sister-in-law.
After all, she loves her brother so much and has always been good to Grandpa and her...
"It’s okay, I’ve never blamed you." Quinn Lockwood never once hated or disliked Nina Sinclair, no matter what Savannah Lowell might have thought.
Considering how she herself once lived at an age similar to Nina’s, she understands her immature and impulsive mindset. If it weren’t for those experiences, she would probably have remained naive and innocent.
Holding Nina Sinclair’s hand tightly, Quinn Lockwood smiled serenely, her clear black and white eyes filled with comfort and warmth.
"Thank you, sis!" Nina Sinclair was touched and burst into tears, hugging Quinn Lockwood tightly, accidentally wiping snot and tears on Quinn’s clothes.
Gently patting Nina’s back to comfort her, Quinn Lockwood felt a warmth in her heart, making her truly feel like Nina was her sister.
With a sigh, Quinn Lockwood helplessly patted her back, thinking that this girl truly had a child’s temperament.
Raising her eyes, Quinn Lockwood saw Elias Sinclair’s handsome and pale face.
At this moment, he had one hand in his pocket, his gaze on the two women embracing. His eyes were deep and unreadable, yet contained a faint ripple of affection.
After comforting Nina Sinclair, they all sat together to finish breakfast. Nina insisted on taking Quinn Lockwood shopping for clothes. Elias Sinclair dropped them off at the mall before heading to the company to handle some business.
Whether from guilt or the joy of reconciliation, anything that Quinn Lockwood looked at a bit longer, Nina Sinclair would generously wrap it up and pay for it, making Quinn reluctant to casually glance around while shopping.
After forcefully settling the payment, Quinn Lockwood gifted Nina Sinclair a new handbag, and the two went out for lunch before returning to The Sinclair Residence.
Seeing Nina and Quinn reconciled, Grandpa Sinclair was greatly relieved and even increased Nina’s allowance.
As the injury and her health had mostly recovered, Quinn Lockwood called the director to inform them she could start filming normally.
The next morning, after Quinn finished preparing to head to the set, she saw Elias Sinclair sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Oh? You’re not gone yet?" Seeing him, Quinn Lockwood paused for a moment, as he would normally be at the company by this time.
As Quinn Lockwood came downstairs, Elias stood up and said, "Today I need to go review the set."
"Uh..." Slightly stunned, Quinn Lockwood seemed surprised looking at Elias. Was he waiting to leave together?
But... if they went to the set together, people would surely talk about it, right?
Seeing Quinn stand still, Elias slightly raised his eyebrows, saying in a low voice, "Not going yet?"
"Um, you go first, I’ll follow later. It’s not good if people see," Quinn finally gathered her thoughts, shook her head lightly, and replied hastily.
Elias’s dark eyes narrowed, staring intensely at the woman by the stairs, his expression showing a hint of displeasure.
Seeing Quinn not look his way again, Elias shifted his gaze, casually adjusted his suit, and abruptly turned to leave.
Quinn was puzzled, scratching her head and rolled her eyes dramatically at the door.
She really had no idea what had upset the big boss this time.
After drinking a cup of freshly brewed black coffee, Quinn set off to the film set.
"Savannah’s here, go get your makeup done!" The assistant greeted Quinn warmly, taking her handbag and following her to the dressing room.
"Mr. Sinclair is here, perform well." As Quinn sat in the chair, the assistant whispered in her ear.
After all, Mr. Sinclair is the biggest investor in the set. If Quinn performs exceptionally, Mr. Sinclair might invest even more in the script!
Everyone knows that with an investment from the Sinclair Group, many actors and resources queue up for the chance to join.
Feeling a bit helpless, Quinn pursed her lips, yet maintained a composed facade, smiling and said, "Alright, I understand."
After getting her makeup and accessories done, Quinn prepared to rehearse with her co-stars.
Heading to the studio, she saw Elias Sinclair in a meticulous suit, sitting sternly at the main seat, with the director and producer standing behind him.
Quinn wore a plain green embroidered waist-length skirt, her long black hair tied up with a simple pin. Under the soft light, her fair skin appeared as delicate as silk, with cherry lips and slanted brows, looking like a sprite from a painting.
"Hello, sir." Quinn greeted Elias with a smile, offering a respectful nod, before stepping aside to await his orders.
Despite her outward demeanor of respect, internally Quinn had rolled her eyes at Elias countless times.
No matter the internal defiance, she knew she had to keep up the appearances.
Elias raised an eyebrow slightly. Terms like sir or Mr. Sinclair were normal for him, but hearing Quinn address him so gently, dressed in such a skirt, felt uniquely different.
"Let’s start." Elias tapped his finger lightly on the armrest, his voice calm and devoid of any warmth. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fıre·net
The male lead in Quinn’s film was Chester Thornton, who recently gained fame from a web series. His acting skills were quite good, yet he lacked discoverers, leaving him relatively unknown.
Thankfully, the director of this set recognized him, allowing him to pass a series of auditions and become the leading actor.
